DH wants to allow DS access to porn

We have 3 teens in the house and currently have parental controls on the Wi-fi set to “light” (can go on social media but cannot access porn, violence, gambling etc). Their iPhones are also set to “limit adult websites” and they have a few other restrictions on them.

My DH now wants to allow them to be able to access porn, he said he can allow a certain website on the parental controls so they can access it. I’m not totally happy about this as I think they are too young to just have unrestricted access to a porn site. We have spoken to all of them about porn and they understand it isn’t a realistic view of a sexual relationship, how they need to understand consent, body images etc, etc.

I am fully aware they have seen stuff on their phones in their group chats and stuff but by allowing a website just makes me feel complicit in all of this.

Phew, got it off my chest now 😫😫

Which website, howfar?

And what do you mean about children 'experimenting' outside with other people?

Stop endlessly monitoring your children, it should be up to them to decide what they are and aren't ready to see.

Oh pull the other one, this is just getting ridiculous now.

I wonder if the OP is actually a man?

Tbh I have wondered this too. There is a particular kind of man who will very much enjoy a thread about children accessing pornography.

It would fall into sexual abuse and if he shared it with other friends the father is distributing pornography.

So yes go ahead with this.

Sitting down and explaining what normal sex is, how consent and respect are key, not everyone looks or acts like a pornstar and that we are all different would be a better option.

Have you seen the thread on twitter with this Doctor? He'd probably get on with the OP's DH.

He is 14! Are you serious! No he shouldn't be watching porn. What on earth is your DH thinking.

Sorry to break this to you OP, but you married a fucking arsehole.

God letting your DSS watch porn will only increase his current creepy behaviour.

Sit him down and talk to him about his behaviour, that it's totally unacceptable and he needs to stop before the school call you in and then you can explain your remedy is to allow him unfettered access to women being used and abused at will.
