to want to tell my friend?

My oldest friend came to stay with me last week bringing her two children with her.
I have know her for 17 years (since we were 13) and life hasn't been great toher. We have made different choices and trodden different paths.
We had a lovely few days, a real break for her and her children.
My 2ds (9&6) and her ds (9) shared a room and had a bit of a late night chatting eating stolen choc etc etc.
However its now come out from my youngest that her ds was telling them all about sex videos and that you can "have sex with a woman in a bath". My DS told my Dad this who was a bit shocked to say the least!
Apparently her son watches these films on the internet at night.
Now when I say this would be news to my Ds I absolutely mean it, the eldest knows about sex as in biology but not the relationship aspect.
Soooo I am thinking over how to deal with my ds - wether to ignore or chat it through with them (I think the latter) but I want to know if it would be unreasonable to bring this up with her?
I am sure she doesn't allow it, however her dcs do spend a lot of time with their Dad and he may not be so aware of what they are doing.
Like I said she has had quite a hard life and I don't want to add to it but to be honest I am quite saddened by the whole thing.
What are your thoughts, poking my nose in? overreacting?? Help!!

Of course you should tell her, if her ds is watching internet porn at 9yrs old then she needs to know!

Thank you, I thought I had to tell her but my husband thinks best not to cause more upset! Men!
Do you think I should question my sons first?not sure if drawing more attention to it is the right thing to do, however I don't want them repeating it at school!

If I were her I'd want to know. If ds is watching adult porn (is there any other kind? dur) at 9 years old I'd definitely want to be told.
Maybe she's just naive and doesn't realise she needs to lock down the PC from accessing adult material.
