Let him have them... but it truly is time for "that talk" ! He is going through that curious stage... but make sure he doesn't get into anything harder than the Victoria's Secret catalog... keep an eye on where he surfs online and let him have his space... he may be masturbating and you wouldn't want to walk in on him ! This is all normal for a 11-13 year old boy... so don't worry too much !

I'm not a Mom... -But I don't think it necessarily takes one to explain your son's behavior. You didn't say how old your son was, but I'll hazard a guess that he's beginning to take an interest in girls. And his interest in those magazines pretty much spells it out. The important thing IS- to try to keep an open line of communication with your son, and not freak out because he's getting interested in sexy photos. If you actually WANT a particular magazine back that seems to have "mysteriously disappeared"- casually ask your son if he's seen it around anywhere, as maybe there was something you wanted to order from it. Don't make a big deal of it- and if he seems willing to talk about anything in it, fine. The point IS- NOT to make him think it's anything to be ashamed of, or bad or anything like that. The important thing is to keep the lines of communication open- & listen carefully & non-judgementally to whatever he DOES say about this matter- or any other having to do with sex. Good luck- & happy parenting! :)

first off...how old is your son? If he hasn't started puberty then he shouldn't be looking at them...if he has started puberty then he's fine. It's normal for boys to be curious about a woman's body while he's going through puberty. He probably likes the way looking at those pictures makes him feel. I know it's kind of disturbing to think of your son as a sexual being, but he is. Ask your husband what he thinks about it. If it is disturbing to both of you then sit down with your son and talk to him. Tell him it's ok to explore his body and be curious about women's bodies. But also tell him that it bothers you that he's looking at your magazines. OR....it could be the complete opposite. He could be reading the magazines instead of looking at the pictures and turn out to be gay. But considering the fact that he's got some in the bathroom makes me think he's not gay....Cuz I know what guys do with magazines in the bathroom....

I think you already know the answer to your question, the question I have is have you had the growing up talk about sex with him yet. If not, it is certainly time!
