Please How Best Do You Confront A child Who's Obsessed With P.orn?? by tobiboss(m): 9:27pm On Aug 17, 2014
A very close friend of mine(female) informed me of her 15yr old son who watches p.orn all the time when he's alone. She said she'd walked in on him watching it a couple of times and walked away without saying anything. She told me she does not know the best way to confront him, as she does not want to risk pushing him further away from her as she does not have a good relationship with him. I don't know what to advice her, can someone please help me help her out.
P.s- she's a single parent

Did the boy notice that your friend saw him?

If not then I believe that it is just a phase that will pass but I advise a fatherly figure to sit him down and tal about it with him. He must know that these films do have a negative impact and that sexu. aity in real life is much more beautiful and so disgusting and other things that men will know better what to say to a boy.

yeah i should call it a phase or maybe it was just me....

Watched it from 14-17. I stopped at 17 and never watched it till now.
It took me advice from no one. I just out-grew it or maybe I should say I'm the best person to advice myself of a wrongful manner that must stop.

She did the right thing by not overeacting at all, for I believe she knows that this is a pretty common occurrence amongst teens.

Now all she have left, is to set the mood and educate her son about SEX and pornography without getting angry. She should give him space but watch his steps and friends.

Next is to get rid of his sources and protect him from the internet. But above all, she should get close to him, Love him and trust him again. That's what my Mum did to Me.

i don't think so@ your question. But is there a way you think my friend can talk to him about it, that would not only avoid ruining their relationship, but make it stronger, i.e bring them closer together?

Yes, I think there is. It must be a respectful and honest kind of communication.

I hope it did not have a negative impact on how you experience s. e.xuality and on how you view and treat women.

It's amusing when some parents want to bend dry fish



first of all where did he learn or get access to porn materials from?

Am too busy to know what my son is into, na result be that parents come back late, they don't even know their own kids, when the manifestation of their carelessness comes out they will start shouting there is fire on the mountain


when a parent is not friends with the child of course he will see many friends outside who will teach him what you didn't. It doesn't stop there o



he will soon sneak into his mom's room when she's sleeping and attempt to practice what he learnt from tv and if hr doesn't have liver for that, the sister or house help is there to rape lipsrsealed

Let her call him for a chat. Let him know urges are natural and porn is an easy way of taking care of such urges but it can lead to addiction which can resort to a dysfunctional sex life in future.
Let him channel the energy to other things like sports, join a youth club etc. Getting rid of the source is a waste of time. Porn is everywhere on the streets and is as cheap as 100 naira. It is even free on d Internet via phones.
Anyway, I'm sure he will outgrow it. I was once that way and outgrew it. Very soon he would find it boring and start looking for the real thing . That is where the real risk is.
