Is your wife buying this ruse? Just buy the {censored} magazine and don't worry about adding "... uh... it's for my son..."

Just to play the game... I wouldn't buy it for a 15 yr. old.

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....

Does anyone here have comments regarding the appropriateness or inappropriateness of these magazines for a 15 year old?

I'm trying to figure out whether this post is a joke or just unintentional comedy. What are the reason's this is unacceptable? Is he using your credit card for pay sites? If not, the kid's 15. Why are you treating him like a 9 year-old? Leave him alone.

I was 15 once, and I can tell you, once you've gotten used to real pr0n, tame stuff like Maxim and Playboy aren't going to cut it anymore. He will keep trying and maybe cover his tracks better.

Porn, including some of the stuff you find in Maxim, is really about the subjugation of women. I think getting him these kinds of magazines will teach him the kind of attitudes that will make it difficult to engage in meaningful relationships with women. So, I guess I'm saying no, don't do that.

This is a joke right?

Whether or not porn is about the subjugation of women can be up for debate, and I don't want to get into that.

But looking at porn leads to difficulty in engaging in a meaningful relationship? Wow... that is so off base.

I dont see the big deal. You never looked at porn when you were his age?

Unless you control every aspect of your kid's life, he's going to be sexually active when he's 16 or 17 and you're trying to control his viewing sex when he's 15?

I've always found this idea hilarious. In particular the idea with respect to strip clubs. They take these guys wrap them around their fingers, take all they're money and somehow they're the ones being used. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Porn is basically the same thing. A hot chick making money for basically doing nothing. She shows a little skin on the Internet and guys throw money at her.

Let him get all the porn he wants. Just make sure its "good" porn. Not tubgirl and the likes.

"strip clubs" and "meaningful relationships" have never met.

why do people get so bent about this. i vote for telling mom to stop looking at "his" computer.

have the condom talk. get him a lock for his bedroom door. tell him to use either should the need arise. if you don't want him having sex tell him that. if you do not want him having sex in the house make that crystal clear.
