These emails usually say free, or thirty days free.

I get some of those emails, too. I'm very careful not to open them, although I still get them so maybe that doesn't help much. Anyway, since I don't read them, I missed the thirty days free bit. Don't you still have to provide a credit card number, though, to get access, even though the charge is deferred? Mom and dad will find out if you give out their credit card number. You may get your thirty free days, but there will be consequences.

But Karen, if there are two or three sites out there, the URLs will be passed around among children just as the little comic book was passed around when I was a child.

You're probably right. I hadn't thought of that.

How about two young women naked except for the bows on their pig tails doing sexual things to an obese old woman?
LOL. I'd like to see that one.

But what would you think of as "fairly tame," and therefore as okay for children to have access to? Is missionary position sexual intercourse one-on-one showing genitals from close up what you have in mind?

Yes, I'd consider that pretty tame. I would not give something like that to children, but I don't see much harm in their finding it. You know, the pictures I download are all pretty small. If you try to save and blow them up, you loose a lot of resolution. I don't know how much detail there would be. In any event, I don't see a big problem, as I mentioned earlier, with kids seeing what goes where and what the "what" and the "where" look like.

I don't mean to deny that there the risk to kids from porn on the net, only to suggest that it shouldn't be on the top ten list of things for parents to worry about. There are some natural safeguards that mitigate the risk somewhat. And, of course, kids who are intent on getting into trouble will find a way to do so regardless of the venue.
