of course they will look at porn at a certain moment, you can't stop that. but there are things you can do to make sure a 12 year old doesn't watch porn on a regular basis, like my little brother did...
he seems to have some issues with the reality of human beings. when a tampon commercial is showing on tv he cringes and starts yelling how they 'shouldn't show that disgusting stuff on tv, because no one wants to know that!' i asked him what he would do if he lived with someone and she was on her period, and the conversation went a bit like this: 'i wouldn't want to know anything about it. she should keep all that stuff hidden from me. it's revolting' 'but... it's a perfectly natural body function, like going to the bathroom' 'well i don't want to know about that either! ew!'
i wonder how he'll look at that when he does have a relationship and shares a hotel room with a girl for a few days.
i mean that kids will always go look for it. and wit today's society, it's extremely hard to keep them away from it. but in my opinion it is a parent's task to at leasth have an idea of what your child sees, so you're able to give it a perspective. when my dad caught my little brother watching, he just turned away and mumbled 'oh dear' while i think it would have been better if he had pointed out that what he was seeing is not like real life at all.
