<<But if he wanted to watch/read pornography and really started getting into
it, what would you do?>>

Lots of people, including myself, have a "porn" phase. Probably most people
in the U.S. have seen some porn in their lives. Very few have problems with
it. Just like most people in the U.S. have used some type of drug, either
illegal, herbal, OTC or prescription, to alter moods. Very few, relatively,
have problems with it.

Getting overly involved in any activity that is detrimental to the person or
their relationships is a symptom. It isn't the root of the problem.

My 9 yo son just saw Dolly Parton for the first time the other night. He
said,"Her boobs are HUGE!!! They are lots bigger than the ones on Bay
Watch." So the sexual element isn't lost even on pre-pre-pubescent kids.
That said, when any of my kids are doing ANYTHING that makes me
uncomfortable or that makes me concerned for their well-being, I talk with
them. I ask questions. I tell them how I view the situation. I draw
parallels. I work very hard not to shame or forbid. But more than
anything, I want them to know that I am a safety-net that they can bounce
anything off of.
