[QUOTE="Fran, post: 87459, member: 3"] three C's, I don't think the curiosity of sexuality is unusual for a 13 yr old boy or girl. The problem becomes him receiving inappropriate images of what an intimate relationship really looks like. I guess I would approach the issue as him understanding that those sites are not realistic and it will give him an unhealthy picture of sexuality. Maybe have a conversation that is age appropriate for him to learn what he wants to know. Keep the door open to conversation regarding sex. A mentor may help him address some of his questions. The bottom line is that the statistics for porn are astounding. No sanctioning it in your home is a reasonable request for a parent to a child. When he has his own place and he thinks this is appropriate there will be nothing you can do but you don't want him having easy access to it in your home. Make this into an something other than "I caught you and there are consequences". I just don't see a world where 13yr olds are in control of their hormones or their curiosity. How to teach appropriateness and reality is really the point. [/QUOTE]
