Question

Would you allow your kids to watch porn? Im not going to allow it but I’d get criticized for not allowing them to watch it. As people like to say they are exploring themselves.  I rather not have my kids have an unrealistic expectation of sex. I also don’t want them to even think about sex until 18.  At 18 they’re old enough to decide if they want that.

Answer

I think its unrealistic to think they won’t think about sex til they are adults, most teenagers find out about sex and explore it after the age of 15.

Answer

My two oldest boys watch it, they are 17&15, I’m not all the way ok with it but, they will do it anyways. Our youngest two boys, 12 and 11 still think girls are gross thankfully but when the time comes I will educate them on the subject and let them decide if I feel they are mature enough.

Answer

Unfortunately kids will do what they want regardless of your opinion. Parents like this make sex so taboo, which causes kids to hide things from them. 
Instead of worrying about them watching porn, try to educate them on birth control and accept the fact that we are all sexual beings. 
It’s best to educate them and so when they are ready for sex they know how to protect themselves. 
Lower your expectations please, and please don’t limit your children’s sexuality with this nonsense. 
If you keep this up it will spark their curiosity and next thing you know you’re a grandma 😂🤣😂🤣
Best of luck 😊

Answer

My goodness, no absolutely not. If they're curious they can read, browse or watch an age appropriate book/ website/ video.

Answer

You are very naive if you think they’re not going to start thinking about or even having sex before 18.
I think having unrealistic expectations about sex come from parents who do not allow open conversation about it. Restricting porn is not the answer. Instead talk to them, educate them and let them be normal young adults. 
They’re most likely going to do it anyway, the difference is restricting them is going to make them not communicate with you about sex and be made to feel like there is something wrong with them for being interested in it before 18. That is where they’ll end up running into problems.

Answer

Absolutely not.  And how are kids watching it? Their phones? Family laptop? It's called blockers. I put them on everything in my house.  When they become adults they can do as they please, but until then to allow any child to watch porn is pretty messed up I think.  Be parents teach them what sex is , and what it's about.   That's your job!

Answer

Ugh cringing just thinking about my 10 year old son. It will happen eventually.

Answer

I mean you can try to not allow it but if the kid really wants to watch it bad enough they'll find a way. You'd be better off finding at least somewhat realistic porn and help point them in the right direction. And also sitting down and talking to them about having realistic expectations when it comes to actually having sex. Because they're going to be curious and want to do it anyways so they might as well be educated and know how to be safe. Treating sex and porn like they're some disgusting thing is not doing you or your kid any favors, I can promise you that.
