Teen sex

I have an issue, and need some opinions. My neighbor and I have been friendly for years(our kids are best friends). She recently confided in me(she was crying)that she found a whole load of teen porn on her husband's computer dating back a few years. Would you allow your daughter(she's 15) to be around him unsupervised? Legalities aside, do you think he's capable of acting on his fantasies?

I can't keep up with reading all of these posts so if I'm wrong with who called this guy a pedophile first, excuse me. All I know is I never called or labeled him that and wouldn't - you are very wrong about that. Maybe it wasn't used directly at "calling him" that, but in a round about way, that was what they were implying. Jumping to conclusions right outta the gate once again.

Sorry, but you're dreaming. I never said anything about THIS guy being a pedophile in my first response, just that the OP has no way of knowing what this behavior may indicate. You evidently read what you wanted to read.

In essence, I said that his downloading teen porn didn't necessarily mean that he was capable of doing anymore than fantasizing. But as a mother, I wouldn't want my 15 yr. old daughter around him alone as a precaution. Better safe than sorry I always say.

Actually, if you re-read my first post, I said I would even allow my child to be under the same roof, only if she were supervised by the wife. The consensus was the same by the majority here, err to the side of caution.

I personally don't think that a man who fantasizes about children is a normal, healthy man, but there IS a difference between fantasy and reality. AGAIN, see my first response up top.

I think it's all too apparent just WHO was "jumping to conclusions" on this thread, don't you? LOL!

Yes, Kat....and not only that, but I'm beginning to feel baited into a trap.

Some people just can't let old grudges go, it seems. Best to take the high road and not buy into it again.

You guys are mean. Someone used the word because I had to copy and paste it as I didn't know how to spell it. But, whatever. Is this what you are on this board for? I thought this was a board talking about sex, not petty bickering. Sounds like you are both in junior high still.

If you are talking about me, I'm not holding any grudges. Why should I? I think you need to take your own advice though about taking the high road, lol.
