hi.


um so yeah...i was also wondering. how do you guys as parents respond to the notion/idea or even fact of your children looking at pornography?
obviously anyone would have an issue with 6 year olds doing this, but lets say 13 and up...cuz truth be told, by this time HBO and elementry school has informed your child what penises and vaginas do to each other..

so...

how do you guys handle this issue?

are there preventative measures you take?

if it has happened already, do you turn the other cheek or try to monitor them like the animals they are so gonna become once they get a whif of the real thang?

do you even talk to your kids about sex?



personal note: my parents didn't say shit to me about it, my mom found a torn out playboy picture in my room at 11, and my father sad "it's natural to be curious"...but after that, even after i was "deflowered" ( thats funny)...i got it bad for my porn consumption/freakiness...like punishment for the notion of me considering beating off. sad sad tings.

i'm sure thats played a part in shaping my fetishes and what not. i probably owe my prince fanship to nothing more. but enough about me...


PARENTS?
=====

oh.

and i figured this should make it more porn.

do you remember your VERY FIRST pornography experience? (sounds like christmas don't it?)

well what better place to share, but here amongst family and friends at the worlds largest porn depositorium. (thats right folks, your work computer )

so pull up a chair and tell us about that time you mom caught you finger-banging the cookie dough to new-editions greatest hits

lets all get a little closer...

maybe we can even sing kumbaya when it's all over and done

Excellent, but have you got a link...

SirPsycho said:

I've not given this much thought, I've got three girls and I don't expect porn will be my biggest worry.

Having said that, I wouldn't allow it until they're 16 18 21.

mcmeekle said:

so i take it their chastity belts are water-resistant?

^^ haha...i said make it more porn...i so meant fun but have no intentions on changing that

SirPsycho said:

Don't need chastity belts if I never let them leave the house!

We have raised our children with an understanding of the naked human machine
With an understanding of sexuality and it's sacredness
With an understanding of the misuse of sexuality

and everything inbetween

I knew my children would come across porn one day and so I am honest with myself about that fact and honest with them as their parent and friend

...yaknow, i have no duaghters,but have strangest the feeling God's gonna drop more than one on my lap one day, so i'll just pass on any further judgment and just pray for your triumph nature

Mach said:

how old are they if you don't mind me asking? did you parents do the same with you?

SirPsycho said:

Our children are

Rhianna - 30 in Dec ( today is her 8th wedding anniversary )
Seth - 28 Tomorrow
Joshua - 19
Jessica - 17 in Nov

and NO - my mother never even explaind to me I was going to bleed
my Dad did teach me some about the motives of young men
( in a non fear based way )

Mach said:

my mother said my grandmother gave her a book on chickens (she's from alabama)

SirPsycho said:

I gave all my children wonderful educational books from a young age

Human books though

Mach said:

i dont believe my mother...i'm sure my granny didnt talk her about sex, but i doubt she gave her a book on chickens

SirPsycho said:

Anyway - sometimes

I use the org and it's posts as a teaching tool with my teens

pros and cons - all those examples and the such

Heck my fam may have their own accounts here

Hey Fam - Mom loves you

Mach said:

i like that.

SirPsycho said:

I like sharing my life with my kids and more then that I like hearing their opinions on things

We haven't discussed it with our girls yet (C'mon they're 5 & 2!) But we certainly will once the time arrives. Currently our main focus is the Chris Rock School of Raising Girls - "KEEP'EM OFF DA POLE!!"


My parents talked to me about sex, told me the deets to the best of their abilities so I knew what was up.

I used to hang out at my neighbors house reading his books and one of my favorites was this big book of Shunga: Japanese Erotic Prints

which is pretty much where I got all my visual cues as to what went where.

My parents approved of my collecting Playboy Centerfolds when I got to High School and at the height of my collection I had about 35+ bunnies taped to my wall.

My first porn experience was at a girlfriends house, I smoked my first woola ever (goood times!) and then we watched The Devil in Miss Jones 3 (better times! HELLA BETTA!!!).

Am I worried about my kids exposure? Definitely! Even more so considering our recent advances in Tech. Hell! I can watch videos on my phone... MY PHONE!! When I was comin' up we had SEVEN CHANNELS of TV to watch! All I can say is it'll be an interesting next 13 and 16 years...

i dont even wanna know what to expect when my kids com along...considering what i remember trying on my female friends at a VERY young age, i know it cant be too hopeful
