Like most teenagers ds has a smart phone. I limit the time he has on it and within that I limit his time on various apps. I am very aware that most of his friends seem to have much greater freedom with regards to phone usage and trying to strike a balance between what I think is best and isolating him from his friends.
At virtually every opportunity ds attempts to access porn. I have tried talking to him but it's a total waste of time, his hormones have kicked in and he wants to see sexually explicit images. Due to the controls on his phone he can't see any real content so has started looking at ai generated content of cartoon/ video game characters with very exaggerated features in various poses. I'm concerned that these images, while just animation, are shaping his views on women and sex and not in a positive way! One image had comically sized breasts, wrists bound and a gag ball.
I do understand that he's interested in sex but does anyone have any suggestions for where I can look for some more information about what I should be doing? I am not looking for porn links etc. I have been on Mumsnet for years but have changed my name for this thread. I'm my youth boys were lucky if they found a playboy magazine, that feels quite innocent now compared to what's available!
