Default Do teen boys have easy access to porn?

When I was a kid, a verrry long time ago, I had to sneak into my brother's bedroom and steal his Playboy, and then sneak it back before he got home from smoking a bong with his friends. Today, with the internet, I would think it would be hard not to stumble accross copious amounts of copulation way beyond Playboy, let alone if you tried google.

For those of you who are teen boys, is it easy to find? For those of you who have teen boys, do they get porn off the net? Do you care?

even with nanny controls, it's easy. to get past the controls at our school, you turn google's safe mode off and search. <i was looking for eroticism in art and the symbolism of lips at the time... wrong lips>, and so long as sites don't use words that are likely to be blocked, name files that have rude words, they will be untouched. easy.

I'm almost outside of the "teen boy" category (I'm 19), but, yes, it was/is very easy to find thanks to the internet (especially USENET newsgroups).

If I had access to the internet when I was a teenager, you would not have been able to keep me off of porn sites with a restraining order and a crowbar.

Given the comments my-coworkers make about their kids, I think my attitude is relatively common among teenage males today. And most of their parents disaprove.

It would have been great to have access to porn when I was a teenager. I mean, it is not that I had no access to porn, it is just that it would have made it a lot easier.

I started looking at internet porn when I got my first computer at 14.... I'm 19 now and still look at it.

Yes, teenage males who are able to access the internet in private have access to all the porn in the world, and most of them take advantage of it. I remember when my buddy with a super fast 56k connection on his 486 first hooked me up with porn in grade 8.... ah, good times. I was able to get porn on my own a year later, when the family computer, with internet access, was moved into a shared room (I just had to wait until everyone else was asleep). The two of us helped make sure our internetless buddies had whatever porn they wanted.

For what it's worth, my friend also had two teen brothers, and so his mom (the only adult in the house) was resigned to the fact that there was going to be porn in the house. She basically instituted a "keep it out of my field of perception" policy. She was (is) a pretty cool ex hippy, so I guess she was inclined to be liberal anyway.

Although it is easy to find free porn pictures on the internet or in your mailbox, all the sites recycle to same images. If a teenager has his own bank account with a debit card, he or she will have a much easer time finding the good stuff. Of course, web filters don't block file sharing, so that is another option.

lots of stuff on kazaa, or other peer to peer sharing networks, if you're so inclined to look.

Even if you're not looking for pr0n, a lot of stuff shows up by accident. You go and type in "Blade 2 the Movie DIVX" and you get 20 people sharing Blade 2 the Movie, and 100 people sharing some other weird porn that happens to be called Blade 2 the Movie DIVX. ohhh kay.
