I’m a fan of GOT show & books. I like House Stark the best of all Houses. Winter is Coming … The North Remembers… Fire and Blood… I wish you good fortune in the wars to come…

He actually bought the dvds on eBay for $46.99. He has had a primarily summer job since he was 14 and pays for his own cell phone and any of his “wants”. We provide his “needs” along with gifts at Christmas/Easter/birthday. I understand that he knows about sex but the scene that I saw it portrayed in was a little disturbing, and I don’t want him thinking of it in that way. I know he can probably easily watch it at a friends house or behind my back but I still feel I need to object to it being openly watched in my house as a matter of conscious. From what I have learned about the show, I have decided to reimburse him his cost but not allow him to watch the dvds. If he does so behind my back, then that will be on him, but at least he will know how I feel about it. Thanks for all your advice.
 
My friend introduced me to Game of Thrones. Two episodes in I just couldn’t continue. I knew I couldn’t legitimize what I was seeing. It’s just not good for anyone to watch. I believe that George R. R. Martin is the Anti-Tolkien!

In short, if I couldn’t watch or read something with Jesus or the Blessed Mother present why would I partake in it? Disturbingly, People will still legitimize watching the show.

Do Not Support Game of Thrones or Hell’s Broadcasting Office (HBO)

I have watched all seven seasons of Game of Thrones.

I also read the first book.

George R. R. Martin, doesn’t get into the sexual details the TV series does.

However, your son at 16 has already gotten past the first season which has the most sex.

Don’t panic over it and try to prohibit him from watching it. He’s most likely seen porn on the internet by now. By now, he’s into the story of Game of Thrones which is very good.

Just let him know of what objections you have about the Game of Throne’s. If you try and come down heavy on it, he’ll just reject your opposition and he’ll watch it anyway without your knowing.

The sexual scenes become less at each season and the last season, I don’t recall any.

Your son is 16. He knows all about sex, as most kids his age do. By restricting the movie, you are just going to instill in him a greater desire to watch it. He will find away around your restrictions, and watch it without you weighing in on the objectionable parts

That may be true for some 16 year olds, but that’s not true universally. When my brother and I were at that age, I recall when my mom told my brother he couldn’t buy a particular music album because it had an “explicit lyrics” label on it. Could we have gone back at a later time, bought the album, and then kept it secret from our parents? Sure. Would we have ever considered doing so? No, never. Because it was important to us to listen and follow what our parents were asking us to do. And her saying no gave us the message that some things were just not okay to listen to. I’m grateful for that lesson, even if it was annoying at the time.

Although, offering to watch it with him probably would squelch any desire to watch it. 😜

But this kid has already been delving into porn. Not likely that he is caring too much about observing the boundaries set up for him by his parents.
 
But at least the parents will be putting him on the right path -so on judgement day they won’t be flagged about it
 
I would recommend you to watch Pleasantville just to find out if you see the world in black & white or color.
 
You are an above average kid.

Back when I was a teen, you still had to actaully go to the movies. We’d have one movie parents approved of and tell the folks we were seeing it again. Heck, I am over 50 and my parents STILL think I saw “Raiders of the Lost Ark” 17 times that summer.
 
Matthew 5:37

“But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one”

Good job, I would also talk to him about it though so hopefully he is in agreement and doesn’t want to watch it either. There are plenty of alternatives in regards to movies which don’t involve such sex scenes, the LGBT agenda will be on there next if it’s not already, guaranteed.

I’m 26 and I will not watch it.

God Bless

Thank you for reading.

So who cares, it’s a lost cause?

The OP has made the right choice and I would only advise talking to her son as to why so that he is in agreement in regards to the vulgar content in the series.

It’s writers who include some of that stuff have some loose screws in their heads.

Thank you for reading.

My experience in raising two kids who are now adults.

I also have two grandsons.

The idea that a sixteen year old will just stop watching the Game of Throne’s because of the mother’s shock over some sex scene’s, will not happen.

Nevertheless, the stand against this VILE show must be taken.
 
As I stated, she should tell her son why she objects to the program.

However, being puritanical never changes the mind of a 16 year old male.

Don’t know how you were raised but I had to follow the Rules of the House. No R rated movies and no PG-13 movies unless they were screened by my folks. Sure I could’ve watched filth at my friends houses; however, I would be going against my parents wishes.
 
That is something that your parents instilled before age 6, you cannot simply begin at age 16 with “NO”. Sounds like your parents instilled in you values that you lived by and a deep respect for both them and for Christ.
