Masturbation. It’s not a topic that typically comes up around the dinner table. It probably doesn’t come up around any table if your kids are there no mater where that table is. It’s just one of those things you hope you don’t have to deal with. And if you accidently catch your kids in the act, then that could be one of the most embarrassing and awkward moments in both your lives....

Here’s a word you probably haven't heard of before: Teledildonics. It’s a word you probably wish you didn’t have to know about. But since one of the things we try to do here is make sure parents aren’t naïve about what’s happening on the web in regards to porn, you’re going to find out.

Teledildonics, according to Webster’s Online Dictionary, is sex in a computer simulated virtual reality....

Just typing in the above title was a bit uncomfortable. As a parent with two teenage daughters it’s certainly not something you want to even consider. It’s a shock to the system. But when I read that researchers at Boston University School of Public Health found that 1 in 13 teenage girls have reported having group sex I knew it was a topic that needed to be addressed.

Hey Internet stranger. My name is Kim. By my picture you can tell I’m around 14 years old. Aren’t I cute? I live at 555 Any Street in Small Town, CA. in case you want to come say “Hi”.

Most parents would flip if their kid put this type of information out on the Internet. Kids often don’t realize what information they may be giving away and to whom when they take pictures and post them online...

Porn used to be relegated to the 25¢ peep show shops. But the risk of being seen at one kept many away. Then VCR’s came along and you could watch it at home, but you’d still have to go somewhere to get the videos. Again there was a risk of being found out (getting caught walking out of that “special room” at the video rental store by a neighbor for instance). Then the Internet came along and...

A common question I get from parents is, “How do I protect my kids from inappropriate material on their iPhone, iPad or iTouch?” That is a great question because so many kids have these devices now. My 13-year-old daughter just won an iPad2 at school last week (lucky dog). These devices can all access the Internet and there are zillions of apps that can be downloaded for them. So with the...

This game has sold over 6 million copies. For the latest version, coming out this November, gaming company THQ hired a group of Penthouse Pets to amp up the promotion surrounding the game.
