This reply is both for the topic listed and also for the parent writing about the teen watching gay porn. I suggest to both families (and everyone else too) that you look into OWL (Our Whole Lives) sexuality education for your children. OWL is a highly respected program originally produced collaboratively by the Unitarian Universalist Association and United Church of Christ (UCC-Congregational). However, the religious component is small--and optional.
You can find these classes at your local UU congregations and probably also at UCCs. (I am a UU education director so I can only speak for my denomination.)
OWL classes offer age-appropriate workshops about sexuality, self- worth, and respect for diversity. If kids are looking at porn, they obviously are curious and ready to learn more about the world of sex and sexuality, much of which is safe and healthy (not the porn part!) and an important part of most people's lives.
Anyway, I recommend you find the right age level class and go to the mandatory parent orientation. You can also look online at uua.org. I think there is a homeschool version too if you can't find a class, but I recommend the peer experience.
