[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 268896, member: 3444"] Thanks everyone. I've had the talk about the fact that those women are people, with real lives. And how would he feel if that were his sister, cousin, aunt, grandmother, friend next door, MOM (ugh, there's a nasty thought!), etc. I do need to change our router settings. And I'll put the parental lock on the DSi before I give it back to him. And then I'll explain again my rules about this type of thing. I know the curiosity is unavoidable. It's just so alarming that access is so easy now. Before, when I was a teen, you'd have to stumble across an adult's stash of magazines to find that kind of stuff. But now it is so readily accessed -- even accidentally. And no, husband is not the best person for him to talk to about this in my opinion. His sex education came entirely from magazines, which is not grounded in reality at all. Explains a lot of his warped views. I guess I'm looking for a little more sophistication for my kids -- maybe that's a bit altruistic on my part. But I don't want my boys viewing women as objects (difficult child 1 is so introverted it's even hard for me to tell, difficult child 2 I think is on the right track), and I don't want my daughter feeling like a slave to her looks (so far, she's doing pretty well in this regard). It just goes to show me that I can't stop paying attention, even for second. [/QUOTE]
