Narrator: What can I say to my son who is watching internet porn?
Sheldon Marks, MD: You know, the desire to experience and see those things is normal. And men are very visual. That's why women's clothing is so suggestive with the lace and the little flowers and everything.
Men, visual is what stimulates them and gets them going. And they play up with that on the Internet.
And I think what you need to do is sit down with the son and explain that what he's doing is normal, but that the images that he's seeing are not normal.
If you do it at work, you can be fired. If you do it on somebody else's computer, you can get in trouble.
If you download inappropriate things that are illegal, such as child pornography, the police can come barging in your door, confiscate everything and arrest you, or arrest your parents.
So it's not every freedom comes with responsibilities, and you need to understand what is appropriate and what is not, even when you can do it privately
