Absolutely, we've had several discussions about it, mostly surrounding the unrealistic expectations of women and sex in general that it promotes and its effect on emotional development of your brain. It does no good to tell someone they can't do something without explaining why. I encourage him to ask questions when he doesn't understand something, and will never give "because I said so" as an answer. My goal is for him to understand why these things are harmful while protecting him from them until he has the facilities to manage it on his own. Just like a bike with training wheels. Teaching him to ride while protecting him from falling, until he can ride on his own.
