Can we talk about porn?

I find this whole concept of parents setting out porn for their kids, Playboys under Johnny's bed kinda thing - - sounds like some sorta oddball SantaClaus on Puberty Eve type deal. Huh?

Or arranging the flow of their internet porn discoveries ... i dunno, but i think your folks taking any kind of hand in your exposure to pornography has got to be kreepy bad from a kid's point of view.


Different as it may be from the good old Rockwellian days of Penthouses in dad's drawer ... I think we have to led kids discover porn by themselves ... or with their peers (and, hey, likely future sexual partners!)



And on the one hand ... I have to think the modern Internet-is-for-Porn world is gonna make for much hornier teenagers - - but on the other, have to admit that, sheesh, how much hornier could teenagers get???



As for whether kids who earlier discover fetishes, kinks or (hush now) homosexuality will be more inclined to experiment in those areas, more inclined to adopt such practices into their adult sexual mileau - - - Nah, i don't really think so.

A person's gonna be turned on by what they're turned on by. I don't know about you ladies, but as for us guys - well, no one's dick's ever lied yet.

When I was in college, my father would occasionally drive me to LAX. He would often suggest stopping at The Wild Goose, a giant combo topless bar/sports bar/hofbrau near the airport. We would grab a table near the stage, and he would talk about his sex life with my mother. I generally wanted to crawl under the table.
