You can't stop him. You can only try and influence what he thinks about it. I truly believe that the modern unrestricted access to porn is hurting boys and their outlook on sexual health. Your job is to explain to him what to do with that information. He needs to know that porn is not real life. It's entertainment. Just like WWE is fake fighting, porn is fake sex, and he needs to understand that.

Boys have looked at porn for thousands of years, be it boobs drawn on a cave wall or whatever weird shite is on porn hub. We can't top it. We can only make sure it doesn't negatively impact their sexual health and relationship with women.

Why isn’t it working? Is the law that easy to get around?


They just need to use whatever my BetMGM app uses. They know if I'm 3 feet into Texas vs. Louisiana.

i grew up in very west texas in the middle of cotton fields and was a cross country runner.

one time i was running down a dirt road and 4 miles from the closest house I found a pile of porn right by the side of the road.

eta: some parents (and my kids) think this is a violation of privacy.


My kids have no right to privacy on the internet as far as I’m concerned, and they know that. I find it ironic that many of the parents who feel this way also make their kids share location on their phones at all times. I won’t make my kids do that unless they break my trust. They are free in the real world, not on the internet.

I also look at his search history, and he knows it better not be deleted. One of the benefits of allowing no phones in his room is that I can look at his history at night after he has gone to bed. I do it maybe once a month.

waayyy better than if i had opened spotify in the car and their mom had heard. i usually use amazon music so that we don't step on each other's toes, but me wanting to listen somebody on Rogan got that boy screwed over that morning.

some advice i'd also offer is that no matter how much you don't want to have that conversation and your kids don't want to have the conversation, they 100% want it coming from the dad instead of the mom.

You do know you can just delete individual sites, right? You don't have to delete the whole thing.

i do both. but we all 4 share with each other so it's a two way street.

i am not worried about him not being where he is supposed to be, he's never violated that trust.

but he drives on I35 every day and he's past the whole "text me when you leave and arrive" phase of driving, but i like to know when he's on his way. he leaves our house and drives 12 miles to practice for basketball at 5:45 in the morning. he got side swiped once, so i do like to check on him.

Let’s talk several factors

1: it’s incredibly easy to jump last and around any parental lock that you create. Not only are there websites that will jump it, there are apps designed to do it.

2: if you mirror the phone, there are apps that disguise that and you won’t see what he looks at

3: the apps that’s can do this can be stored in a locked app that is made to look innocent like a calculator or a game or inconspicuous stuff.

4: there is pretty much about zero you are gonna be able to do to stop it. The more you push and rule this with an iron fist, the more secretive and sneaky your son will get

It’s too bad he can’t smell the porn and see the cut clips. That’d probably make him like it a lot less.

I'm 30 and still share my location with my parents, though I didn't get a smartphone until after I went to college. With how much I travel it's easier for her to just look where I am instead of asking where I am.

Don't give him a phone until you're ready for him to have unrestricted access to porn.

The laws are absolutely useless. Only the well-known companies like Pornhub will get hit.. There are thousands of smaller, less-known porn sites that won’t even bother enforcing it. As long as you give them ad revenue, they don’t care how old you are.

It’s one of those things that should be treated like marijuana: it’s insanely easy to get, and it gets you high. You should educate your son about the effects of porn on the brain and how it changes how a guy views women. This is coming from someone who’s watched hardcore pornography weekly for 10+ years.

That is true but nowhere near as fun. He'll want to try out everything he sees. I still want to stick my dick in a slut.

I find this so fricking weird. My whole family (parents, brother, sister and their kids) are on that shite, and it baffles me.

If I was a teenager today, no way in hell would that be on my phone, and if it was, the phone would be in a lake.

Not interested in anyone knowing where I am to the foot at any given moment.

If you don't hear from me, I'm fine.

I don’t believe he can with the parental controls on his iPad.

This isn’t going to stop his curiosity to visit adult sites. All it’s going to do is make him figure out ways to beat the system. And he’ll become more rebellious and start to resent you. There are better ways to handle this problem instead of being a helicopter parent.

This 100%. My parents never had that conversation with me. Now, I didn't develop any sick, warped view of sex either. But you can imagine my Extremely Catholic mom's reaction when she found my 2 Live Crew tape in my room when I was a teen.
I have already started beating the ins and outs of social media and the forever's of the internet into my sons head. My next convo with him will be the sex converstion. Don't know when yet, but probably some time in the next year. I feel 8th grade is the right time.

I want to frick every whore from Timbuktu to Koreatown. Gather them all in a group and have a huge frick party at my place. Have them all line up one by one and suck my dick on the way out. Damn that would be awesome.

^^^This is the kind of shite that I’m talking about. 10+ years of watching Pornhub has absolutely rotted my brain and I don’t know how to stop it. OP, take heed from my advice about pornography. I am a living example of what happens when you view porn for years and years.

The upside though is that I’ve fricked my wife in every sex position you can think of, thanks to porn. At the end of the day, everyone has a vice. Sex is my personal vice and always will be. Sex is love, sex is life.
