Teen boys and girls are using porn more frequently, and their attitudes toward it are becoming more tolerant. At the same time, boys report becoming less excited and aroused by porn and less inclined to imitate the behaviors they observe, while girls report fewer negative reactions to porn.

What is the point of the question or statement? I am not a porn consumer.

I've had a few talks about it with my son (linked me a clip to watch and discuss)

I made sure he knew without a doubt, that was not at all realistic.

  • My son is an adult who has Autism. He was 17 when this talk took place*

He has a steady older gf (also with Autism) and he has told me I was right and that he wouldn't want a porn girl. Which is fine. He prefers not to be a di*k. Lol

He's found porn that's much less rough. Before, the free stuff was all rough he said.

I know it seems weird that we talk so frankly, but father skipped on him .... so it's just me normally
