Porn never caused me any harm. If I had kids as long as they weren't looking at really weird watermelon or filling my computers with viruses I'm not sure I would care.
A teenage boy is going to fap no matter what you do. Looking at some gash on your computer screen isn't going to change anything.
My thoughts exactly.
The other option here is to leave all the computers in public space, as there are many benefits to be had.
1. Not going to need to worry about any of above mentioned issues, as long as you are home. When you're not home, other kids aren't going to be at your house anyway (shouldnt be, anyway) ....so really it comes down to an issue between your child and you.
2. Even if the kid is playing video games, still keeping them in public space creates more social interaction than letting them hole up in the bedroom.
2A. If doing something productive, you can more easily offer assistance, if they need it. (homework, etc)
I was raised with NOTHING cool in my bedroom. No tv, no computer, no radio...just my clothes and some books
This forced me to spend time in the living areas of the house, and created a much healthier environment, to be quite honest. Also, it meant that being sent to my room actually
was a punishment. Now you can argue that your kids can earn the priveledge of having the comp. in their room...but I think you can just as easily provide alternative rewards. I very much intend on leaving any/all computers in public space when I have kids, as it eliminates many potential problems.
As for your keylogger...there is no legitimate reason for a teenage kid to need one. End of story. I realize this is blasphemy...but try communicating with whoever you aren't trusting in this instance.
