  Filtered dns provided via opendns.com is a damn good/easy option. Not 100% but will take care of most junk that may accidentally pop up. If they are smart enough to get around that, I feel they are old enough to understand the concept and consequences of sexual intercourse.

    Anyone smart enough to get around that would also be smart enough to get around whatever the government does to block it.

      I like this take for two reasons. You’re one hundred percent right. But also. It’s part of the whole deal, keep feeding the “justice system” people that aren’t smart enough or just didn’t think of the potential fall out. These laws aren’t meant to stop everyone, they’re meant to choose who it is they want to stop.

      Agreed, unless it was everything everywhere, that would be scary, like China scary

  Most routers have parental controls. We sites have categories, and you can explicitly block those sites. You can use 3rd party dns tools like nextdns. Lots of parental software you can install that can limit PC use, sites, tracking, etc. you can blacklist sites too. Lots of granular control and access levels so you don’t block yourself too.

      sure, but it’s not going to curb the curiosity 100%. and it’s not just sex sites, kids don’t need to see sites like crazyshit.com, etc until they’re at least mature enough.

        i’m wouldn’t be looking to curb curiosity tho… that’s not natural at all… instead i’d be looking to address it head on…

        i’m telling my kids, yes this happens, this is a thing… share my viewpoints on the dangers of abusing it… and reprimand them for treating it as such.

        they’re still going to do it… but at least them knowing that i’m well aware of it as a parent would lessen risk of them turning it into some sort of secret addiction of theirs.

      Do you have kids?

      What did you tell them about hardcore anal? All the kids want anal now.

      They don’t know about all the prep, the behind the scenes, the emergency room runs where someone gets a perferated colon and risks bleeding out internally.

      Did you mention that to your daughter?

        lol no kids…

        that’s the thing… by me saying talk to kids… im saying address it all… i’m looking to educate them, not shelter them…

        if/when i have one, i’m telling them this world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows… here’s how to make the smart and wise decisions…^^ then i’d hand them their baby bottle^^

    And then you put your phone on cellular and all the Wi-Fi controls are gone.

    Google family app does some good.

      if you’ve got a kid old enough to be using a phone, but not old enough to know about sex, and you haven’t enabled parental controls, you have other things to worry about. or they’re old enough to look at whatever they please.
