Re: question for parents - June 7th 2014, 05:40 PM

Hey there,

I'm not a parent but I am a student Paediatric Nurse and study health promotion and things like that a lot.

As others have said you can block as much as you want but at the end of the day he will find ways around it and he can still masturbate without porn.
At 12 especially if he hasn't hit puberty, the sexual arousal and want to masturbate might not be there, but as he gets older it will, that's just a part of growing up. The best thing in these situations is education and just being able to talk to him about these sorts of things. I'm not saying you need a big meeting and family discussion but maybe when you're in the car or something explain to him that it's normal for teenage boys to get these hormonal urges but also explain about porn and the reality of sex etc. Education and awareness is the key!

I hope this helps, feel free to PM me if you want to talk/need any more advice,

Charli
