    If my parent asked me to monitor their porn intake I’d tell them to talk to a clinical sexologist because what the actual fuck‽ And if they asked about mine I’d honestly be concerned that there’s something incestous there.

    Like I’m super pro sex ed and parent-child communication on such things. But there are things that you’d like to keep private from that relationship unless it’s important. I’m so grateful I don’t know anything about my parents’ masturbation habits

      Yeah, the concept isn’t that much different than going to AA meetings, but having your minor son be your accountability partner is pretty weird.

        Having your kid be your AA sponsor also sounds pretty dang irresponsible in most cases. But also compulsive porn consumption is something that’s less to be solved with “even more Christian AA” than it is with a clinical sexologist because there’s usually quite a bit going on there and many times it’s more related to being ashamed of having healthy sexual desires than it it is an addiction. But also it’s having your kid monitor your porn consumption. Not a friend. Not your spouse. Your child.
