Kids and the Internet

Porn is porn. If a person is gay then they're likely to be turned on by gay porn I suppose, in which case that's an entirely different thread.

I don't happen to be of the belief that someone is going to 'turn gay' by looking at gay porn for example.

To answer your question though, I would expect my kids to look at porn, if in fact they haven't already done so. To believe otherwise would make me incredibly naive.

As I've said, my aim as a parent is to give them the tools to make the right decisions, not make all their decisions for them.

Well I certainly agree with your statement that looking at gay porn is in someway going to turn them into a gay person, because I don't believe that is true, but that was not the question. The question was would you approve and allow your teen to do so?
