What will you do if you found out your kid was into PMO?

It depends on the kid. It's not a case of one size fits all.

When I was a kid the more my parents tried to keep me from porn the more determined I was to get my hands on it. Being banned from it gave me extra motivation to look at it. I was a rebel and kind of still am.

 

As @Rio mentioned, it's not as simple.
I would come up with my own way of explaining why pornography isn't great for you, that would suit the child in question, first and foremost.
I wouldn't ban it or anything, I don't think that works well with teenagers, coming from my own experience anyways.

 

definitely not what my dad did to me, but thats how it goes, you learn from your parents mistakes so you can not repeat them and be better than they were.

 

well i would ofcourse ground them and take their electronics away for atleast 1 month and give them a good spanking depending on the age, but i would also sit them down and tell them about the nature of porn, i would tell them my story and what i went through because of it, i realize a kid wont care about what you are saying and do it anyways, but the hope is he will remember my words and if he ever does start going down a bad path because of porn, he will remember my story and hopefully he will come to me for help.

 

To those who pick the last option (thankfully, no one yet), did that also happen to you, did you do that, or are you sitting on top of your ivory tower?

 

As for the other options, I’d personally warn about it and add a censor. Going too hard on the kid either makes them afraid of sex, or it makes them want to stray down the dangerous path of PMO even more. Obviously we shouldn’t have either.

 

A very good question..... probability of this happening in future is lot
I will take these measures

• I will tell my kid about my story and my own battle.....I will tell him the side effects
• I will switch off the wifi during night also I will insist him to share his laptop with me
• I will wake him up early around 7-8 am.....and got him enroll in a sports club
• He can choose any sports ......table tennis, football, even chess....any anything
• I will tell him that if he want to be a "player" then he should stop pmoing
• I will tell him how pmo can affect his looks
• During weekends I will often try to spent my time with him outside
• I will teach him how watching porn affects our brain....and he is affecting his own reward system
• Lastly I will look for other rehab institutions.....if condition is out of control

 

I disagree with doing this. If I was a father (a big if right there), I wouldn't force my son into a sports club if he doesn't like sports. If he wants to read or paint or walk or cook or do something else along those lines to help him with his addiction and help him reboot, I'd allow him to do it. I think that parents should help their children if they find out about their addiction while they're at a young age, but after a certain point, they'll only be able to give them tips, advice, and guidance. You can't force a child to do something they don't want to do and you may disagree with me on this, but if they don't want to do a sports club at 7-8 am every morning because it might trigger them or give them a relapse, they shouldn't have to.

 

Haha.... thanks man
I will consider myself great....if I become even 5% of my father
I think at times I will become a little hard only to show them the real side .......
But it's a difficult road to become a father.....
My focus right now is to become an average son
Yeah..... sometimes questions in this section are quite repetitive

 

I agree
Actually my main purpose would be to keep him busy
And it would be great if he develop interest in something else.....
But still I will suggest him to do light yoga....
As doing physical activities calm down urges

 

This is true since staying busy would keep the mind off of such things. I just said what I did since I've heard stories of parents controlling every aspect of their child's life, from what classes they take to what activities they do to what their career is and I think that a parent should give their child flexibility when it comes to such issues as PMO.

 

He surely wouldn't listen to the side-effects, because you already know it, the most fake enjoyable thing. I will encourage him to join creative team/ sports club and make most of the schedule busy so he get minimum lonely time.

 

+_+ I'll make him listen to hypnosis tapes after he's asleep.. Nd probably make sure he's busy 24/7
If u want an extreme answer
Spycam +_+
Who the fuq ever came up with the notion tht teenagers require privacy
As nd when seperate rooms nd closed doors Took over boom..
I'll probably get him to be with his lil siblings ;')
Wht sick minded freak wld ever fap then?

 

I would dedicate some GOOD amount of my time to make sure hes gettin out of it . Just father and son,fighting through it together !
Same if she was a girl too. I would probably pass it to her mother ,to have an easier time discussing and stuff ,but nonetheless, making sure its being dealt with it.

Now ,I'm quite advanced in knowledge with computers ,phones etc so I would more than probable find out very soon if my kid is into porn, and that would allow me to quickly deal with the problem. After all, it's much easier to stop an addiction if detected early.

Hell,not even to this day my parents have ever brought up this subject ( they had/have good faith in me I guess),and I ll be 25 soon. But I ll make sure I wont let this error happen.
