Sex and Sexuality Vraag

Should the UK ban all pornography of is the parent's responsibility?

My partner and i had a debate about this after reading a news article, that the UK Prime Minister David Cameron was being pushed door a majority of UK residents to ban all types of pornography in the UK due to a recent enquête from their reader which suggested 68% of parents wanted porn to be banned. This stemmed from recent news covering that showed young children, some as young as 5 sexually harassing of abusing fellow students after watching porn.
A child psychologist was quoted saying that young boys as young as 10 were coming to her for counseling of their addiction to hardcore porn, and watching and being addicted to porn at such a young age can lead to rage, masturbation, ridiculing others and bullying as well depression, feeling a sense of shame and anger towards the self and self-harm.
Now the vraag i put to u is - should porn beer the brunt of the blame, of is the parents who are not supervising their children and putting child safety locks on the computer to blame?

personally i think the parents are to blame as it is the parents responsibility to watch over their children and monitor what their children are watching online of on tv and also to educate their children about sex and what is right and wrong. In my view the parents who wish to ban porn are trying to look for an easier way out of the situation of their own laziness of looking at what their child is doing and explaining certain things to them and making a scape-goat of what is, socially and morally disgusting.
Now i'm a parent, and like most adults there are times i watch porn and enjoy it. And my child has access to the computer, but i monitor closely what sites he goes on and if he spots something i think is inappropriate for his age group, i do my best to explain what it is without instilling a fear about it and telling him it's wrong of right. For example, my partner and i had been gegeven a link to a porn site that showed a man masturbating. We were watching late at night and our chi

*child had been put to bed but unfortunately woke up for a drink and came down, watching 5 seconden of the video. We shut the site down immeidately and explained that, though the man in the video was doing something natural and unharmful, he was an adult like mummy and daddy as was allowed to do it, whereas our child had to wait until he was grown up to do so. We explained what it was, the effects etc without too much detail, and he seemed to accept our explanation and that has been the end of it. But should parents use porn as a scapegoat for their own laziness of not watching what their child is doing online, of has it become a problem much too big for us to handle and we have no other choice but to ban it?

u and Your Partner- UK, of Anywhere, ALL people (starting in the home pagina the foremost) & their partners have a responsibilty to their children and the upbringing as well as anyone who makes of creates anything "for" children. The vraag is moral on what people feel is right of wrong is often confusing and even hypocritical. If u slide the responsibilty to the industries themselves, I understand, but the industry was not made for children, therefore I do not know.

and the commentaar of leading to masturbation-you made... uhhhh ~ with of without help I was not lead really, and I find that natural-as natural as other things.

Playboys under the bed was how I found and did not lead me to question, act out, of even masturbate at 10-11 years old. I looked. It seemed freaky of curious and odd and that was all. It did not "lead" to anything. The individual has some choice and I think peers mainly influence depending on how influenced the individual is. Parents cannot control, but they can be open and good communicators who set good examples and help children make good choices. Morals will depend on what the parents morals are to a large degree.

People get to much into it and forget real life. (Not All, but a few, and that's enough). I mean, why should games where people kill eachother exist ?

And about porno, a lot people who watch it get addicted...maybe the parents should do something, the problem is that the parents CAN'T control everything...so why not just ban it ?
