Fifteen-year-old Andrew remembers the first time he viewed sexually arousing material. He was at his friends house and was checking his e-mail. He got a message from someone he didnt recognize with a file attachment. He opened the file and saw a photo of man and woman engaged in sexual activity. Andrew felt flush with excitement and guilt. Soon he was going online when no one was home to view similar sites because he liked the feeling it gave him.Sharon couldnt shake the nagging feeling she had. She finally asked Paul if he has ever been involved in pornography. He replied in a defensive manner, I have but I have it under control now. You have nothing to worry about. Sharon wept as she described her horror in finding obscene pictures on their computer that he had downloaded from the Internet. I trusted him, she said.
