my boyfriend looks at pre teen porn and young models, is this normal?

Question

my boyfriend lets me use his computer and when i went to type certain letters into google i would find searches he made such as "young nude models", "pre teen girls", "pre teen porn" "young girls", and so on. i was a little weirded out, but i noticed that he does look up 'regular' porn, too, like "teen girls" (well i think this is regular porn. i don't look at it so i don't know much). i shamefully started being sneaky and checking his internet history (i know it is wrong..) and opened a lot of the links to images/sites/galleries of these "young models" and they are children ranging from 7-16ish looking (young looking, flat chested, etc.. clearly pre-pubescent) and sometimes girls that look older, but they are clearly underaged. over time, i noticed he views/downloads these images quite a bit, every day. i accuse him sometimes of being a perv and he says "i only look at porn 2-3 times a week, tops, i am not a perv". i just want to know what is going on. should i be concerned?

You didn't indicate his age, but that isn't really a big part of the issue. Many folks read/watch/view pornographic material routinely , rarely , & of course never! What is normal is a very subjective & personal judgement, as is what some folks find stimulating, & others find offensive. Fantasy is great , but staying connected to reality is the key.

Some guys are particularly stimulated by portrayals of girls being younger than they are in "real life" Models , actresses, actors, etc MUST be over 18 by law in the US.

If he has possession of porn involving children , or someone under this age he is at risk for arrest & prosecution. Though I'm not a doctor , it could be an indication of a problem as well. It may not be a "problem" in his view, & it's an embarassing topic, but he could be headed for trouble both legally & emotionally.

Be very careful at how/if you approach this with him. Good Luck!!
