Search this techie forum for parental or parental controls, there are lots of answers to the problem

This is part of my point completely.

He is a teenage boy........If you block him looking at these sites at home. He will go elsewhere to find them.

If the OP thinks they don't understand now............They'll never understand if he is forced to hide his actions.

All the best advice we can give in this case will only affect one computer at home. Don't for a moment think it will stop the original cause of this thread (trust me, stop him at home and he will find another place to access this).

I can only say................HE IS NOT ABNORMAL. He is being a teenage boy. Nothing wrong with that....(I used to be one myself many many years ago).

The biggest birthday party I ever had was my '30 and still a single tart' party (and I wasn't talking credit cards). (and I'm a bloke)

Thanks to all for your help, yes I now know it is !!!!!! sites he is visting, asbowen (post 2) helped with a link to a site which said click on address bar to view most recent typed in urls and sra (post 4) for the winspy tool confirmed my suspisions. the most annoying thing is the problems i'm getting with my computer, boy s will be boys, although the contents of the site he was viewing is ,to say the least ,degrading and disgusting...so I maybe should allow softer !!!!!! sites. Or as I said to him, I know what you are up to ,b*gger off to your mates and mess up their computers.....is that the wrong advice?...

I'm sorry to disagree here, but I find it absolutely amazing why anyone feels the need to ask an explaination of why a teenage boy wants to look at naked women.

IT IS PERFECTLY NATURAL!!!!!!!!!!

All points taken on board, but from the OP there was absolutely no evidence that this was (a) !!!!!! and (b) "soft" !!!!!!.

In fact, the OP didn't know what his/her son was viewing, as he was clearing the History.

If it is, indeed, soft !!!!!! like Playboy, then I agree that this is normal teenage boy behaviour.

But it could have been far worse and might have led to him being tracked by the new Child Protection Initiative with disastrous consequences.

Finally, the OP could not possibly have known that the issue was "the usual boys' stuff".. it could have been something far worse or more sinister.

Doesn't have to be !!!!!! sites, he might simply not want you to know what's he's doing. If my mum went on some of the forums i go on she'd find a lot out about me that she need never know.
A lot of it is me just being a right !!!!!! to annoy people and some is me having banter but if my mum ever read it she'd have a DNA test done and hope somebody mixed babies up in the hospital.

I've sent the link to this thread to your Mum............. :rotfl: :rotfl:
