    12 year old boy with more then questions
    I have a 12 yr. old boy that knows a lot about sex and bodies but he wants to see pictures (more then what they show in health class) We have a very open relationship and talk about sex and bodies openly. He came to me and asked me if he could see porn. I asked him why? He didn't really know he just wanted to see "stuff" I don't want him going on the web to see things, but I don't know the best way to handle this. I want him to be educated and I'm proud of him. For coming to me, does anyone have any suggestions? I found my Dad's playboy when I was that age to see pictures, but I'm stuck at what I should show him. He doesn't talk to his Dad about anything like this. His Dad and I are divorced.

    I would explain to him that porn is not a realistic depiction of how men and women interact sexually. There are many books that show details of male and female bodies in an educational way that you can offer to show him instead.

    Not personally. I haven't had to deal with that for a long time. I would suggest talking this over with your librarian. They can recommend titles.
