[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 309383, member: 7083"] 15 is a relative number. While a child may be 15 in chronological years, it doesn't mean he's 15 in emotional years. Plus, becoming sexually active doesn't necessarily stop the porn infatuation/obsession/interest. I don't think Gcvmom's difficult child 1 is - and Gcv let me know if I've crossed a line - is emotionally ready to process what he sees in porn vs real life. We're not talking about a easy child and natural curiosity here. We're talking about a kid that may or may not be able to tell the difference between what is real and what is over the top. I tell ya, I am not a prude by anyone's definition, but some of what I've seen on the internet (and I don't go searching it out, for the record) is unsettling to me. Neither one of my kids are/were interested in dating around, having a boyfriend/girlfriend just for the sake of having one, or experimenting with whomever was willing just because they could/can. And a close friend of mine told me that because of that my kids "aren't normal". Well, if that's the current definition of normal, I'm glad they're not normal. [/QUOTE]
