No way. The longer you can keep them off that stuff, the better students / kids, and ultimately adults they will be. I agree, there must be some poll trolls in the bunch, or the trailer parks have infiltrated AT. Apparently watching aunt martha and cousin billy bob get down on the couch brings it out.
Hahah, sorry, I find it funny that you are equating porn to bad grades. This isn't drugs people, no one is going to drop out of high school to support their porn addiction. As far as grades and good students go, I got As in high school, and I started watching porn around, hmm, 13, or something like that. I don't see where people get the impression that anyone that starts watching pr0n at an early age will become a pent-up recluse that thinks of women as sexual objects only. Its like the argument that violent video games make you violent. (I've yet to kill anyone, or even get in a fight, yet I play violent video games). Stereotypes aren't always right.

Yea, um, the kids 10, not a retard. Considering teenage girls are getting pregnant at 12 these days, I don't think we can assume 10 year olds aren't innocent niave saints any more.

Well, maybe beer. But, I have no problem with a 10 year old child having a small glass of wine with a nice dinner (with the family). (4-6 ounces maybe)
My answer would be "it depends". Depends on what? Whether or not at 10 he is to the point where he understands what porn is, and has a desire to seek it out and view it. Basically, whether or not he has started developing sexually yet. If I remember correctly, I was 11 or 12 when I first started looking at and wanting to look at porn, but everyone matures sexually at a different rate (which makes having a set age kind of asinine), and if my son hit the point where he was ready to be curious about and start exploring sex by the time he was 10, I certainly wouldn't stand in his way or try to make him feel ashamed about things or tell him that what he was feeling was wrong.
I saw my first porn when i was 19.I kiss my first girl at around 25, touch my first breast at around 28, and finally get laid at 34.
Ooh, I wanna play too!
First porn: 6th grade (11 or 12)
First kiss: Depending on how you count it, 6 or 7 (first grade), or 20
First breast: 20
First lay: 20
And of course, the other question is, in retrospect, what would you have different, if anything?
Personally I wish I had done some things differently in HS, although almost none of them are sex-related (though many are relationship-related). I was ready for porn by the time I "discovered" it, and it was a really useful way to explore my sexuality in a safe context, which was good, so no regrets as far as that was concerned. Wouldn't have minded having my first lay a few years earlier, but I can't complain too much about how things worked out. I was ready by that point, and it was a good and memorable experience.
I don't have a son, but wouldn't allow it. I feel like he should at least try to sneak around with it, not look at it openly at that age.

Well, considering that I won't even allow myself to view porn, I don't think that I would allow my 10 y/o kid do it either.

Yeah, 10 sounds a little young, considering that I didn't get hands on any real porn until I was 14. I started swiping Mom's Victoria's Secret catalogs long before that, though
