While age of consent typically is far closer to the age at which you go through puberty here in Europe, which to me is perfectly natural and makes sense, I believe the legal age to take part in porn would in most countries be 18.
Yes, the cultures are vastly different - Euro countries have far less double morale and over-conservative, over-sensitive views on sexuality.
If people in the US had the same actual relation to sex as they convey in public, they simply wouldn't procreate at all

I hate to be a Debbie Downer but i think this thread has gotten sorta off topic. it has gone from AutumnRose asking for advice to people bickering about Age of Consent and if ages(not people but the number of the age itself) younger then 18 shoukd be posted here. I see this going on all over the site. and it makes me kind of sad. i understand the reason that some people have concerns but unless it really is a legal issue(and due to what i have seen seraph0x post on other threads where this has been brought up, it does not apper to be in this case) i think it is a matter of opinion on this kind of thing.
So it is my feeling, and you all might not agree, that if people are so passionate about the issues of Age of Conset and really Age in general on this site, there should be a forum topic about it, i know SC started one a bout "underaged" people in chat but that was more of him giving a PSA and it was not really an open duscussion. IMHO post on this thread should be with things that are helpful to the OP. If you want ot talk about other issues Start a topic and Maybe link it from here?
*end Blackbird Rant*
as for my bit of Advice, i casn only speak from experiance. for me, i was a kid who was mental mature long befre my peers. My mother treated me accordingly with talk of Sex etc. So i feel that IF you feel that your son is mature enough to handle watching Adult Content then you need to talk ot him abbout it. Yes he might be embaressed and you might be as well. but If you want him to not see porn etc as how things are suppsoed ot be and if you are concerned that is an issue. then nothing can be harmed from talking. he might not like that you are nosy and feel that you re invading his space. All you can do is know that you said something and he knows your feelings on the matter.
these are just my opinions and i ma sorry if they do not help

Porn is OK. When a kid gets enough interest to aquire porn - I think it's OK to let him/her do it. Laws in this respect are for morons. There's nothing to protect FROM to start with. It's absolutely natural so should be if not encouraged, than at least be allowed as a part of a normal human life.
That's what I think.

If you haven't already you should have the sex talk with your son. I can't say for sure but I don't think that your son's watching of porn is going to have much of an effect on if/when he and his girlfriend have sex. There really isn't much you can do to prevent them having sex unless both you and the girl's parents lock your children in chastity. The next best thing is to make sure they know that if they do have sex that they do it safe to protect them from possible stds and unwanted children. Even if your son didn't watch porn sex/erotic things are all over tv these days and not just late night movies on scinemax.
