I'll add to this; my kids have seen me using Poser since 2000 so that's 12 years and they are only 25, 23 & 19. The youngest was using it at 7yrs old, the boys messed with it on & off (my oldest is getting his degree in gaming design & modelling, he honestly has no use for Poser though).
The youngest was the one that was most interested. I didn't see it as any different than her playing with Barbie. She loved Koshini back then. By 14 she was creating products & at 16 had her own storefronts & began modelling, got bored of it & is now thinking of going back to it.
I agree though that it's up to your parents. However, Poser no more encourages Porn than playing with Barbie & GI Joe do (& yes I know what kids do with them together LOL). I disagree that it encourages Porn or corrupts the mind anymore than nude paintings in a museum. It's how it is presented and what it's intention is for the end user.
Most likely he has seen you use it already, if you aren't creating porn it's unlikely he will be. ;-) That said I used to do alot of pin-up work but it didn't encourage my kids to do that, just the opposite. They were so sick of it they did other types of images.
Those who gravitate towards porn work with Poser were most likely already inclined to do so in the first place. If it's a huge worry don't let him have the male genitals LMAO. (after all a woman's genitalia is technically inside)
