Great Blog! I read the first post. Very important stuff.

Here's a thought that has been going through my mind recently... With the aggressive, incessant, tricky, sly recruitment tactics the internet pornographers are using on our kids we have to really prepare our sons to handle the reality of lust in their lives. If parents don't find ways to talk to their kids and educate them we're in for some big trouble even in seriously religious families.

One thing that concerns me is if a boy is in the grips of lust then his younger sisters are at risk of abuse. I'm not painting these boys out to be monsters but it is a simple equation.

Unrestrained lust and lust fueled by easily accessible pornography is an incredibly powerful force especially when exposed to youngsters before their characters have developed.

At any rate, all I'm getting at is that parents can't be naïve in this area. They must set up loving and reasonable boundaries and expectations and keep their eyes open for warning signs of any inappropriate behavior and deal with it. It can happen. They also can't be so naïve as to really believe that they know what their children are into. They risk missing the warning signs.
