    Well it is a really dark thought.

    Below is hypothetical since I don't have any kids.

    Probably I'd cut off his internet. It's the obvious solution. I would not want to compete with a child probably more tech savvy than myself by using blockers or what have you.

    If he protested saying he needed internet access then I'd tell him to go down the library.

    It is a tough one because kids all have phone s these days and they're on Instagram.

    Have a honest talk with him. Talk about addiction, anxiety connected to it and things he will miss out wanking instead of living his life. For sure I would be honest about my problems with it, try together to fight it

    Smash his computer with a perfect central punch on the monitor. Like that old video of a guy playing a scary maze game and destroy the monitor during the jumpscare.
    I‘ll never allow my son to be a porn addict and firstly i would talk about it, and many other problems of our society because porn is part of something bigger. From my dad computer files I discovered that he was also P addict and probably he was even happy about being one but this is another story.

    He's not here anymore. I asked myself if when he was dying he just noticed that someone would have find his files or was just thinking to die and go in another realm. I think when he was dying is objective was just to delete all that shit from his computer, this is the feelings after I discovered these files on his computer and his reaction to death. Immagine have this heavy thing in the stomach, like you can't die or you want to go home because you need to hidden the proofs of your depravation. This is the reason why we need to destroy our addiction. I will never left this world saying that i was addicted that something that does not matter and make you a slave. I suppose my dad is an example that we should never follow, isn't brutality saying that.
    Thanks to have listen me btw.

    I would suggest that you talk to him.

    The thing is, children are curious and they are going to explore their bodies. It's natural. It becomes unnatural when they don't have a healthy way to move beyond just being curious.
    Just watching porn as a youngster does not mean you are going to become addicted but it can lead to it.

    Serious conversations about it not being okay is necessary.

    What you would need to do is talk to your child and let them know, in detail, all of the profound dangers of porn. If they were already actively addicted, you would want to provide support and also limit the access to porn, so you would want to make sure they do not have unfettered access to the internet.

    This thread details how I talked to my son about the dangers of porn. I would suggest doing the same even if you haven't caught them viewing it:
