If you\u2019re a parent with a son still living at home, then you need to read this. The most dangerous thing you can give your son is unfiltered internet access<\/strong>. I know you know there\u2019s some bad stuff on the internet (primarily porn), but it\u2019s worse and more pervasive than you think. Roughly 25% of all internet searches are porn related, and the average age of first exposure to pornography is 11 years old.<\/p>\n

When you were growing up, access to pornography was limited to purchasing dirty magazines at a gas station or watching adult themed movies. Now, any child with an iphone has unfiltered access to pornography that will severely warp his view of sexuality. Pornography will erode his future intimacy with his wife could enslave him for years to come. You don\u2019t want that for your son.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not saying that you need to become Amish and throw away all technology. I\u2019m just saying you need to be smart.<\/p>\n
