Google 'Free Porn' without the quotes. I advise not clicking the links, since porn sites are notorious for spreading malware.
Do the same in the Google Images search.
While some parents are competent to use existing parental control software to control their home PCs, many are not, and many other PCs have no such controls. For example, after fixing a nasty malware problem on my 84-year-old mother-in-law's PC, I did some exploring in the history of a web browser she doesn't use. In fact, I did not know that Chrome was even on her PC. The history was full of porn sites. The culprit? Her 13-year-old grandson, who "plays computer games" on Grandma's PC during family gatherings. He's smart enough to find the porn sites, but not smart enough to delete the browser history. I'm smart enough to catch him.
Well, he's not allowed near Grandma's PC any more, to his frustration, but his agreement to keep off that PC led to an agreement not to discuss the incident with his parents. In reality, his father is a porn addict, so it probably wouldn't make any difference.
Adolescent boys, especially, will find porn on the Internet.
