i talked with him about how i understood he was curious about sex and that it was natural to be curious...

but that porn isn't sex. it's entertainment. and its for adults who already have been sexually active... and if he continued to absorb so much of it, that it could potentially prevent him from having healthy sexual relationships with women...that it is teaching him to see women as objects of pleasure instead of equal partners...that it takes love out of the equation..etc

i tried to help him see the potential damage he was doing to himself and his future relationships...while at the same time acknowledging that i can't force him to stop since i'm not around him 24/7...so i told him that i trusted him to stop on his own...etc

granted, that won't work with every kid, but now that he's 20, i do know that it worked with him
