Can i change the subject to p0rn for a minute?

The average bear isn't going to like 2 girls, 1 cup - that is a very niche market - and yet, sooner or later, everybody looks it up.
(seriously, don't look it up)

LOOK IT UP!!! LOOK IT UP!!!

Late to the discussion, but kudos to you for having Dad do the discussion. This subject is uncomfortable enough for kids (and parents of course!) but for the kid it is even more embarrassing to have it with Mom. Not that you couldn't, but it will be easier with Dad, imo.

And yes, it is normal.

From about age 13 to 18, if I wanted to freak my son out, all I had to do was say the word 'sex' around him.

I think it goes back to when he was about 8 and he announced that he hated girls. I told him I was a girl and he got offended and said, 'No, you're a MOM."

Moms are a special class of animal, and I don't think we're supposed to engage in sex, know about sex, or have ever even heard the word sex, at least not according to our teenaged sons.

Fortunately he's 23 now and I think he finally has accepted the fact that I did have sex at least once in my life (he has no siblings).

First, you need to be worried about viruses (I guess ipads can get viruses).

Second, if you haven't already, you need to have "the talk" about sex. And yeah, it's probably better if your husband handles it.

Anyone else think it's ironic that you can get a virus just from looking at a naked person online?

I guess there really is no "safe" sex

As a young man that use to watch porn and still do with my wife from time to time... for all that is Holy do not have the conversation with your son yourself. DO NOT!
-----------------
Why on earth not? At that age, I bought my son a Playboy magazine and we went through it together. It was a learning tool in that I pointed out the differences between fantasy and reality. That women don't really wash cars dressed in nothing but earrings and six inch heels. That nobody looks that perfect, and the models had every zit and mole airbrushed away. Nobody was embarrassed, because I made sure from an early age that sex is dealt with matter of factly, and not with red faces and hushed tones. There's absolutely no reason to feel more uncomfortable discussing sex than discussing digestion or respiration.

As other posters have mentioned, it is totally NORMAL at that age. Heck if I went and logged onto my 16 year old's computer I am sure he has an assload of porn. When I first noticed it on his computer we had a talk about respecting women and how most porn does not show women respect. I told him not to expect what he sees in porn to be what he sees/experience in real life. He of course was totally mortified to discuss porn with his mother...but it needed to bedone.

No matter what you do or say, a teenage boy is gonna choke the chicken. Keep your mouth shut and let him enjoy it without feeling guilty. Soon enough, he will find a girlfriend to take care of his needs.

I am not opposed to masterbation, and that is why rule one was to make sure it didn't sound like it was wrong of him to look, or like a punishment at all... I guess i'm just more comfortable with print materials than video. Video is a whole nother level, and there is so much out there, and all the rest that goes with it... Long showers and his reading some of the books that, well, i know why he is reading them, has been going on for a bit now... hmm... wonder why the porn threw me for such a loop.
Anyway, husband talked to him while i was out, not sure of details, he'll have to tell me later.

[Bob Ross]

Pfft. You people are novices. The correct answer is to use religion to make him feel like a horrible, horrible person about it.

[Works4me]

Googled it, very carefully snuck up on the screen and then quickly read the Wikipedia article about it - may never recover from reading about it, cannot even imagine if I hade seen it.

OK gang.. the basic topic of this thread was borderline, knowing PB. But it has gotten too specific to leave some of these posts here. I will be removing some, sorry. Specific details regarding the subject simply will not be ok with PB.
