I won't go into detail, but basically my DS and his friends go their hands on very inappropriate magazines and got themselves into serious trouble. I know his is a good boy. Please pray for him, and for me who can't seem to get beyond this..... God bless and thank you.

As a mom of a teenage boy myself I will DEFINITELY be keeping you and your son in my prayers! This is truly a nightmare. Luckily, he sounds like a good kid and your discovery of this is bound to get to his conscience.
I am so angry that this garbage is so widespread nowadays. Anyone can have access to terrible things with the click of a mouse on your computer or those magazines that seem to be spreading like wildfire!
God Bless concerned mothers like you that really care!
I pray that you handle this with compassion and caring.
Your son is just expressing his natural, male, developing, visual sexuality and I thank God that he possesses this and God blessed him with it. Please don't overreact because it would be worse if he had an unnatural sexuality!
With loving guidance, he will turn out just fine.
Thank you all for your prayers. Appollonia, you are so right when you said not to overreact. My DH and I tried to make it very clear that he should not be ashamed of himself and that wanting to look at this material did not make him a bad kid. We did not really punish him, we just explained that because of what he did with this material, we couldn't trust him to make proper decisions, so we would take away some of his earned priviledges. For example, he is not allowed home alone at the moment, he will have to earn that back by showing us he is responsible. Also, he is not allowed on the internet unless one of us is in the room with him at all times. Other than that he is still allowed to go to friends, he is still going to his after school activities, etc.
Thanks again, as a female parent of a male teenager, I'm learning so much that I really didn't want to learn! LOL!
God bless you all!

It sounds like you handed this awful and awkward situation in the best way possible. I think that your restrictions on him make a lot of sense and are appropriate.
Good luck...it's quite an education having a teenage son, isn't it?
It might be a good idea to explain to him that there's a time and place for everything, and right now is not the time or the place for him to see that kind of stuff. It's totally normal for him to have lustful feelings, but he needs to make sure to keep his self control a priority. A lot of people would say "sex is evil, keep away" but that will only encourage him to find out more about it from other sources. As long as he knows sexual feelings are fine, but not until he has the right circumstances to merit them.

Leavin the site now due to new diagnosis...Thanks for all the support while I've been here!
Proud Momma - I do not have children. But I do have a husband who is learning to overcome an adiction to pornography. There are two things I would like to suggest to you, 1) a book called Every Man's Battle, they even have the Every Young Man's Battle, out http://www.christianbook.com/Christi...N&item_code=WW
2) As far as the internet, there are a couple of good different ways to help on that. One is called Covenant Eyes, http://www.covenanteyes.com/ - which you can go on the website and read the information. And there is another one called Max.com, which is an ISP, you can go to their website and get information. Both of the above mentioned websites are able to either filter, or track where your child has been on the internet. On Max.com, they can even contact you on another phone number to notify you that your child is trying to access an inappropriate website.
Thank you so much hobbitcutie for taking the time to let me know what you think as a teenager. It was very helpful. I think I did a good job making sure he should not be ashamed of his feelings, but I will be sure to talk to him again. Your so right, that is very important.
Juana Baby, thank you so much for your information, I am going to check out those sites right now. It looks like good sound advice, which is exactly what I need right now!
God bless.
