I think it's unhealthy to show a young CHILD (yes a 12 year old is a child) a porn and relate it as a normal show of sexual satisfaction. Most porn is NOT just intercourse. It's not just two loving people in a relationship doing it. Hell, most of the time it's not even people who know each other (within character) who are doing it. You want to show a 12 year old that it's just oh so normal to blow the plumber? To have a teacher spank a girl and force a blow job on her? You really think that is a-ok?

LOL when i was 12 and sneaking my older sibs tapes i knew that it wasn't real...i was smart enough to know no fireman came to the door complaining he had a fire in his pants....it was hot was all. I think people assume kids are morons and can't put 2 and 2 together often.

That is so silly.

The point is your kids are gonna watch it anyway....so why not at least steer them to something you find more healthy?

Neither of my sons are morons.

I still don't want them thinking that it is normal (note, I said NORMAL not REAL) for people to just go and have indiscriminate sex. I know how kids minds work. They would think I was condoning that sort of behavior if I were to allow them to watch that sort of thing.

Not all children watch porn. If they sneak it and I find out they will be punished.

It is not something that I will condone.

Period.

I won't condone alcohol use.
I won't condone cigarette use.
I won't condone drug use.
I won't condone teenage sex.
I won't condone bullying.
I won't condone porn.

Will my children probably do some of these things? Yes. But I won't condone it and they will be punished for these things if I find out.

Perhaps but maybe that is why Europeans have much lower levels of all those things....because they don't make an issue out of them. No not all kids watch porn but most do....maybe not girls as much as boys on a regular basis but majority will look at it sometime in life.

Of course they wouldn't....they are going to understand it is fantasy if as you say they aren't morons. And since you teach them some values i am sure they get the fact you don't condone them just humping the nurse lol.

I don't see why I need to allow my kids to watch porn in order to teach them about sex. There is no value to porn at all, especially to young minds. And I don't know where you are getting your facts from but Europe and other continents have HIGHER rates of curable STDs than America:

I was referring to teen pregnancy and alcohol rates actually. And this Statistics by Country for Sexually Transmitted Diseases - WrongDiagnosis.com says the rates in west europe are much lower....i am looking for another site to see. Porn ins't about learning about sex...it's about a tool for masturbating.

I am not going to get my daughter a vibrator and I am not going to allow my sons to use porn. Sowwy.

I double clicked my mouse without the use of either, they can to. Gives 'em a healthy imagination.
