I posted a similar thread back in July. Evan "fuelie600" recommended K9 Web Protection - Free Internet Filtering and Parental Controls Software

Been using ever since. It is free, easy to use, and works well.

Opendns

OpenDNS | Internet Navigation And Security

If set it on your router it will cover all internet at your house (desktops, Laptops, iphones, Xbox, etc)

That is pretty easy to change, actually. Power on password on the computer, logon password, lock the screen when you get up. When he wants to get on, you need to be there to unlock it.

12 ... there are 13 year olds on youtube with tutorials on how to program for the iphone.
I don't think net nanny is going to work.
besides you also can use an anonymous server services to get where you want or post what you want ;)

Why not trust your child?
Blocking him with software is just a challenge or reason to get friend to download some for his memory stick.

GF's son has started dating seriously recently and when mom was out of the house I figured it was time for the birds and the bees (he's 13). lolo, the eye rolling routine was already starting.

But, I trumped him !!! :)

Told him that I figure he already knows enough about the birds and bees, so I offered him something more realistic. Free condoms when the time comes. And told him 1.) STDs is a problem 2.) abortions cost big bucks 3.) raising children costs more. He got what I was trying to say and actually told me where the nearest vending machine for the rubbers is and mentioned that he was probably cool about buying them himself. I still reassured him that IF he was too embarrassed to buy that he should ask me.

Later that night, told his mom what we talked about. lolo, I almost got clobbered for ruining her image of her kindergarden child ;)

But back to the point, you should really talk with him and say that what he is doing is normally, OK to most men, NOT OK for most women and especially MOM! And that you DO NOT want him to be looking at anything really sick and disgusting until he's older.

He'll find 2 girls and 1 cup in due time.

Interesting point is ... what kind of trauma occurs when you something really sick and at what age. There is some real nasty stuff out there :(
The only bright side to that is that he may delay his sexual journeys for a while ....
