Don't do like DiovanLestat and report him to the police. Yes, the laws do say they have to be over 18, but there's a difference. If what he's looking at are women who have gone through puberty and are fully developed, yes it may be illegal but it's not "kiddie porn." Looking at 16 year olds doesn't automatically make him a pedophile. Honestly, in most cases a 16 year old doesn't really look much different from an 18 year old. The only time to worry is if what he's looking at are pre-pubescent, with undeveloped or almost undeveloped bodies. And let me add that like DiovanLestat said, some girls do look much younger than they actually are.

I'm not saying your brother doesn't have a problem. Porn addiction is a serious issue, which effects many men. It's very difficult to overcome. I just wanted to touch upon this "kiddie porn" thing and straighten things out.

Another thing you might wanna think about is that, if you report him to the police, then you'll be betraying his trust. And he will never listen to you or let you help him if he doesn't trust you. It's still your choice, I'm just saying weight it out and see if that's really the wisest choice to make.

Thanks for the correction Dr Vendetta... He can legally have sex with a 16year old girl in Britian, but if he is looking at porn of women this age, then it's classed as kiddie porn, and he can go to jail.

The legal age for women to appear in pornography in the UK is 18 under the revised Sexual Offences Act 2003.

However, many of these girls may appear to look 16 or younger, when in fact they have baby faces and are much, much older. If you suspect he is looking at illegal pornography of children 16 or younger, then by all means step in and tell him you will report him to the police.

Use firefox as a browser, and then you can keep your links of your favourite sites and he can keep his. There is no reason why on a shared computer that each of you can't have your own private space.

Sounds like you have too much time on your hands and you are trying to police the behaviour of an adult man. Your mother has no problem, your brother is enjoying himself. You think it's wrong for him to look at young girls of 16 who are above the age of consent in the UK. I think it's you who needs to get a girlfriend and not your brother.

Set up different user accounts for everyone on the computer. He sticks to his side and you stick to yours. Then there is no reason for you to check up on the porn in his history, and there is no reason for your little sister to see it.

Let him live his life, and you go live yours. Your not his father, why in he hell should he listen to you?

Revanofdarkness agony auntSounds like your brother needs a Girlfriend or a Wife or maybe needs to go to a whore house and let out some steam because i think he sounds like he didnt had any sex for years or maybe never and its growing up inside of him making him want more and more so i would advice you to get him to meet a nice girl or get him a whore it should calm him down.
