That’s my take too. When I was ten, it was snooping in the neighbor guys toolshed for his playboy stash, but the point is, boys that age are damn curious, it’s just human nature. The thing is nowadays it’s way to easy to get “TMI” rather than the kind of nekkid pictures a 10 year old could process.

Yep. Big difference between the Playboy Dad had stuffed in his sock drawer, and the hardcore stuff that's about 3 mouse clicks away.

I recently put an internet filter on my computer. I'm not *too* worried about WBill Jr - yet - but I'd like to keep him from tripping over anything inadvertently.

I installed it, typed in "Playboy.com" to test....and went right to the site. "Hmmmm.", I thought, and tried "Hustler.com". Holy cow, talk about an eyefull.

Turned out that it was a problem with the way that the filtering software was installed .... but man, things have changed since I was 14 or so.

I agree with your assessment. Today, it’s zero-to-sixty in a mouse click. I used to look at the bra ads in a Sears catalog until I worked my way up to Playboys. Now, any kid with an internet connection can go from complete ignorance to the depths of depravity with no stops in between.

It’s a bit much for a young mind to fathom.

Yeah, I remember when I was eleven, and my best friend showed me the skin mag his father had “hidden” around his work bench. Many years later when I knew the difference, I realized I was a heterosexual at the age of eleven but didn’t know it. Not that it did me any good at that age. But my eyes sure bugged out.
