Found Porn on my Dads external HDD?

No big deal. I was 13 when I discovered a card membership to a XXX video store in my dad's wallet. I later came across a porn file on his computer, though this discovery was purely accidental as I had been trying to search for a different file. I didn't say anything about either discovery though. My dad is a great guy, and looking at porn is perfectly normal. Ten years later, and I still have never mentioned it to him. I don't even think about it, and I honestly could care less anyway. Looking at porn really is no big deal for the vast majority of men and women.

Trust me on this: most Christians, and religious people of all kinds, look at porn at least once in their lifetime, most of them far more than once! This goes for women as well, although we do tend to view it less than our male counterparts. You're still only a teen, so you are not as aware of reality yet, but trust me, looking at porn is really 100 percent normal for human beings. There's a reason Playboy remains one of the best selling Men's magazines, although many women actually do read it regularly for the articles ;) Again, Christians are actually no exception to this.

Now, the ONLY reason you should even consider letting your dad know about your discovery (and your brother should do this, not you. Sorry, but he's older, and therefore it will be less awkward for your poor dad) is because you say it is out in the open on his HDD. Your brother should bring it up as casually as possible, and then before your dad can answer, he should suggest he "hide" it better so other people won't be coming across it regularly.

Your father is an adult so it is private business. I am not sure how your brother found this information but unless he put porn on a family area how did your brother find this? Hopefully your father will stop this interest. My personal opinion is it is objectifying women. It reinforces the idea that women are only good for looks and sex. It is disrespectful in my opinion. I feel a lot of women may have low self esteem and that is why they give into giving their bodies images away so easily. If your father does this regualraly he has an addiction I am guessing. Maybe he could use some councelling. He may not accept councelling and that is his choice but it may be his mistake. I think I would talk to him about it one day soon. Explain that it was found and you feel hurt and ashamed and shocked about it. Ask him why he has the interest if he doesn't mind explaining. I would explain that you as a minor especially are shocked about it. It is up to you if you want to ask your Mom about it. It may shock her too and upset her a lot or she may know and doesn't mind. Councelling for all may be an idea to get over this shock. If not councelling maybe a good family discussion if your parents are willing to confess and discuss. good luck

It can be natural to see that all men get tempted from time to time...

Try and make your dad take your mom on a romantic dinner, just the two of them. Or if it is more affordable offer for you and your brother to cook and set a table, with candles and everything.

this could be one way to look at it....

the other is your brother put it on to trick you.

Maybe dont confront your dad, but ask him it will be better for you to know the truth now then think differently about him.

Good Luck

Mind your own business. Nosy brats.

And improve your english. "Me and my brother *is*....". "cuz". Lazy little fecks. If you put the energy you put into snooping around other peoples things, into your studies and life you wouldn't be such a *bleep*.

Try minding your own business for once, there's a suggestion.

i know you wouldn't care if he was not Hypocrite

but all the Religious militant are like this and i think you should just move on its not a big deal
