Say a 9-10 year-old boy somehow gets on a computer without internet filters, finds porn, and starts to view more and more of it. He then does it as often as no parent or authority figure is nearby. What kind of boy does he become by age 11?

    A normal one. Even before the Internet, a lot of kids got their hands on porn at an early age. Just make sure you give the kid a proper "sex talk" (and for the love of God, don't leave that up to the schools) and he should be fine.

    It's hard to say. There are a lot of other influences on a person beyond porn.

    He'll be influenced by his parents, his friends, and his culture. His views on women and relationships will be formed by all of those things.

    Yes, it's possible he will become addicted. It's possible it will hurt his future relationships. It's possible it might make him disrespect women.

    But it's also possible he can keep porn in perspective. Porn does not usually reflect real life. If his parents raise him with a proper understanding of right and wrong (for example, how to treat women) he could be perfectly fine.

    However, he will most likely not be influenced properly by his parents. Parents assume that kids will raise themselves. Then culture steps in and takes over the process.

    He may start believing in free-love, prostitution, violence, beastiality, and so on and so forth.

    But like I said, there's no way to know for sure. I'm goin to go out on a limb and say that most, if not all, boys have or repeatedly look at porn. Many turn out fine. Many don't.

    I would be very concerned... Porn is VERY addicting and could lead to acting out what he sees... He is too young to have good judgement on such things. A male's brain doesn't fully mature in the good and bad reasoning and making good choices until they are 25. I wouldn't want to be this boy's playmates at age 11 in case he wanted to check out some of this stuff on me... My grandson was assaulted by a young boy in his class in 3rd grade. This young boy kept grabbing my grandson's private parts and then would flash his private parts to my grandson to get pleasure. I wouldn't doubt that this young boy had been exposed to sex at a very young age... be it in the house or pornography or movies. It can lead to some very bad situations. I wouldn't want to take the chance.

    I think the lack of decent parenting would be far more damaging to him than just watching porn. Watching porn will just give him a warped view of what sex is like, but the fact that he has filter-free internet access is very worrying. There are far worse things on the internet that a kid that age should not be looking at.

    a less curious one!
    By the time he grows up to be an adult, he will probably become a gynaecologist.

    sounds normal to me. my feelings on that is its not wrong to do that. Its what you are thinking when you are doing it. If he is watching heterosexual sex then consider your self blessed.

    The key point in the question is the repeated viewing. If a child this age is exposed to porn by himself, and only a few times then it MAY not have an effect on his sexual developement.

    But the question implies that the child is viewing it repeatedly. This means he is fascinated with it. A ten year old's body and mind are not fully developed enough for that kind of repeated stimulation (whether he is stimulating himself or not)especially at the levels that hard core pornography will cause.

    I would say this is an obsession simply due to the fact that he is sneaking it (I hope to gosh the adults in his life are not allowing it)and he is sneaking it repeatedly. This will not only lead to unhealthy feelings about sex but will very likely lead to other hidden behaviours. If this question is about a real child, he absolutely needs therapy at least short term. How can I say this with such surety? Because you know about it and it sounds like he's still doing it. You said "as OFTEN as no parent or authority figure is nearby.". This is evidence that he is sneakingit as often as possible.

    It's a problem and he needs to be seen SOON!

    And yea the school sex talk just makes them wanna puke. It doesnt help a bit. Its awkward, They just dont relate to kids. No kid is gonna want to talk to his/her teacher about the vaginal wonders lmaoo. Especially because all the kids would laugh at him, peer pressure at a early age

    normal. i started when i was 9. and the influence idea is correct. if his enviorment is girls wanting to f**k him, thats what will happen. Yes it is a fact that even kids that age will try it. I mean they most likely arent developed enough to cause pregnancy or anything. Still tho.
