If this hypothetical son/daughter of yours is looking at porn, the best tool you can bring to the table is open-mindedness. Shock will be big, I'm sure, but don't let that impair your judgement. You looked at it early too, don't just punish them for it.
I first got in trouble with my father for looking at porn on the internet when I was probably around 13-14. He got upset, took away my computer, brought my mom into it and told me it was wrong. Thing is, I only found out about internet porn after having found a piece of paper on which he had written his names and passwords to various sites.
Don't be hypocritical. Talk to them. Sexuality is a major driving force in life, and if you make your kids hide it, chances are they'll twist and warp it within themselves.
