Help 6yrs old son curious about women how do i deal with it?

[mummyemily]

I let my son who will be 7 in July use my laptop to play games (angry birds, CN network ect) he always plays it in the front room or kitchen were his dad or I are always around. A few weeks ago whilst sitting in the front room with his dad he was on the computer his dad just happened to pass and saw images of women (not the sort you find on CBBC website) he was on YouTube and had typed in naked ladies ? no doubt it was him as the spelling was a little wrong when questioned what he was looking at he got very upset and embarrassed. His dad spoke to him about it and asked the ?why? question and didn?t get an answer just lots of excuses. We told him that we were upset at what he was looking at and tried not to shout but to explain that it was not appropriate and asked what made him think to do a search again no answer. We decided to ban the laptop for two weeks.
He had been looking at music videos with his dad the week before on YouTube and asked what you could find on the site and his dad said ?just about anything? we didn?t think for a second that he would think of searching adult material at 6!
Today the laptop froze and his dad took it to look at it and again in the presence of both me and his dad (he sits at the coffee table facing us so we cant see the screen but we are up and down a lot) he had been searching for ?naked ladies? I have no idea what his motivation is or where the idea of looking at women has come from we are very careful at home regarding adult material/films ect and am sure that the curiosity has not been fed at home. Again we spoke to him about why and what he was doing he just got very upset and closed down.
We have tried not to get cross but to find out what it is he wants to know/why/ his motivations but am not getting anywhere. He has been banned indefinitely now.
He is obviously curious about women but I am not sure how to handle it (I thought I would have a few more yrs before I had to deal with this) at the age of six, have I been too open with nakedness or not open enough? Do I find an appropriate book explaining the difference between men and women with suitable diagrams? Or do I just ban him from the computer and leave it? At a total lost on how to deal with this and feel that somehow I am to blame for this behaviour. Has anyone else had to deal with this sort of behaviour at this young age, apart from letting him use the computer what else have i done wrong?

Didn't want to read and run....

My 2cents worth is:-

1. You can set up you tube to show non explicit material via settings.
2. Rather than ban him outright, which may have the knock on effect of him finding out about other stuff secretly, maybe get dad to go and lie down with him at bedtime with a man to man chat.

Your DH can say that he knows it can be interesting to see these sorts of pictures and it's natural to be curious etc. but he doesn't need to be ashamed. Tell him that DH or you are happy to answer any questions he has about anything...you were just cross that he did this in secret, and the sort of stuff he was searching for even sometimes gets adults in trouble (I'm assuming top shelf pics here) If he doesn't want to talk about it now, that's fine, but you and DH will always be open with him.

You don't want to ban him or make him feel worse, it feels like he's ashamed from your op, because then what else will he hide from you if he thinks you will get angry?

Just my opinion .... Good luck

Thank you for your advise, the last thing I want is to make him ashamed and hide these things away from me or his dad. . I have not pressured him for anwsers for the same reason.
I will have a look at the settings and see if i can adjust them to that would help.
