We have allowed my 13 year old son a phone and use instagram, however we have had a couple (and I mean two) of instances where he has looked up naked women. We don't have a problem with him being curious about the opposite sex, however I do have a problem with seeing things online and learning the extremes of things. Now my question is (please don't judge) which magazine would be best to get for my son?

I think you just have to buy a couple a check them out yourself, find out what sits well for you
Hmmmm.....will he not be mortified by this? No judgement. I'm just imagining being 13 year old boy and my Mum handing me a nudie mag...haha. Not that I'm 'in the know' with naked mags, but seeing it's still media, i seriously doubt it's any better than online. All photoshopped, hairless etc. Even though it's probably just as skin wrenchingly embarrassing for him, Dad could have a talk to him about unrealistic images of women, men, nakedness and sex in general across all forms of media?
You're an idiot!!! 😂
This is a great question. I myself don't want my son in the horrors of the internet so Im currently looking for the right adult magazines for my son too!!!
Hope you found something suitable for him! Let us know how you made out- for other parents with the same question. Thnx.
Well done mum for being so opened minded, no advise though on which one would be better though (hubby only gets picture magazine, lots of nudity but not hate to say it legs spread with everything on show) try and stay away from ones in plastic bags as they seem to be the ones with a lot of that in it maybe check out people magazine last time I looked more articles less full on nudity or even Zoo (if it's still made)
You go momma!! How amazing to have a great open minded relationship with your child, I applaud you! I would go with Zoo or Picture, just have a read through the content first, as sometimes there are sneaky stories which are a little R rated. I have t reached this stage with my eldest yet, girls are still gross and 'eww' lol.
