So my 9 year old has been bugging my dad to get him a Playboy

heh I was thinking Game Boy when I read the title, it wasn't a few posts in before I realized what he really wanted.
 
If you point him to the web, he is more likely to run into porn that may twist his sexual appetite. Do you want you son to be into triple penetration with a fat midget chick???

Give him the Playboy.
 
My 8 year old said "The librarian that was there? *whistle* She was hot!" one evening after visiting the local library, for cub scouts no less.

I'm not prepared for this.
 
He should have to find it in the woods like all the rest of us did. Srsly - thats where porn comes from right? The woods? Why else is there so much of it there?

Oh but this generation of kids doesn't really get out much what with the internet and playstations and everything. I don't even think kids get together for truth or dare and camping anymore.
 
What, like in DELIVERANCE?

😱

Woah woah WOAH! I just meant that for some reason I was always finding porn MAGS in the woods when I was a kid, and lots of people found it that way too.

I never mentioned dueling banjos or any sort of squealing.
 
And this is why this country is so screwed up sexually. Half the people in this thread are referring to Playboy as "porn", when it reality, it is mostly the tame nude female body.

I bet your son has played video games where he has to kill someone. But seeing a breast? Stop the presses!

Seems to be in tune with the country as a whole. The people fighting for the death penalty (because death is ok) are the same people who fight for abstinence-only education (because they think God sucks at his/her job and you should always cover up his work).

Who was that comedian (or ienne)? I think it went:

"Spoken like a true fisherman! Throw em back, catch em when they're bigger!"



I know it was Carlin who said something like: "You ever notice - the same chicks who are against abortion are chicks you never wanna fuck in the first place?"
 
Speak for yourself. I wouldn't care if any of my kids turned out gay and I'm straight as an arrow.

I think its more along the lines of

A) Straight people have it easier in this world, we're not discriminated against. I am hugely for gay rights but I don't think it'd be homophobic to hope your kids are straight just so they have it a little easier in life maybe, and get spared some of the cruelty this world has to offer

B) Most people want loads of grandkids to dote on and buy playboys for. Not that homosexual couples cant or dont have kids, but its definitely more complicated for them.

i was thinking more in terms of the first one, but the second one has merits too.
 
also, if i understand the mindset of the average 9 year old, the reason he wants a playboy is to show off to his friends.
 
Well my dad is like a kid himself, we have to watch what he says. My dad lives with us so my kid is around him all the time and he likes being the "cool" grandpa. And I know why he wants the PB, he as always talked about girls since preschool.

Ahh yes....the "cool grandpa" character. Usually causes more problems b/c the kid views him as a friend and buddy, not necessarily a grandpa. This is fun as a grandpa I'm sure but deep down the kid will not really respect him as a grandpa and probably won't listen to his discipline.

But back on topic 9 years old is waaaay too young for playboy.
 
Playboy is pretty tame compared to pretty much everything else he can find on the internet. He'd end up taking it to school, showing all his friends, then getting caught red-handed by the principal or his teacher and you'll be called in to discuss.
