Opinions please: Maxim Magazine & My teenage son
Hi all:
My son, who is almost 15, has been busted twice over the last month for seeking out porn on his computer by his computer savvy mother.
For many reasons this is unacceptable. However, as the internet is that generation's version of "dirty" magazines, it is also completely expected and understandable (and frankly somewhat relieving to most fathers that their boys have interest in naked girls rather than other boys or Michael Jackson or their pet gerbil) [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Because of this, we're wondering if we should give/allow him an option that we can at least control the content of. Namely the psuedo-porn "men's interest" magazines like Maxim or FHM (the only two I know, feel free to suggest others) that I understand are very popular with the older 16-18 teen boys.
Does anyone here have comments regarding the appropriateness or inappropriateness of these magazines for a 15 year old?
Thanks.
Pack
