14 Year Old Looking At Porn

Last night I confiscated my 14 year old stepson's smart phone for being on it when he was grounded from it.

I used the opportunity to snoop and see what's going on in his life. I very quickly discovered that he is looking at porn on his phone, mainly in the form of images he finds on various threads within Reddit.

Now this isn't really a shock, he's 14, a boy, etc. I know when I was 14 I had seen porn, hell I had even had sex by that age. However porn was not so readily available as the internet in it's current form didn't exist for me. I had to get it the old fashioned way by sneaking a peak in a magazing I found in a book store. Now it's super easy.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to go forward with it from here. I want him to be ok with his own sexuality and feel comfortable with expressing it.

I definitely feel this issue needs addressed with him as well as guidelines and boundaries being set for what is and isn't acceptable use of the privleges he has (cell phone, computer, internet, etc).

I am curious what other parents who have been in this very same situation have done and how it all worked or is working out.

Thanks in advance.
