Moral Conundrum

Post by Straha »

Alright, was using my dad'd computer for a second and opened the history bar to go back to a site, and found numerous (around ten) sites of sexual toys, now it gets worse. All of them rotated around a inflatable sheep doll as here: http://www.sextoy.com/RealisticLoveDoll ... 07-23.html

Does anyone have advice on what I should do?

Disown parents?

I doubt it's what you think, but if it is, you have my condolences.

My advice: Do nothing. You saw nothing, nothing ever happened.


However, just to lighten your spirits, you should remember that this may not be for what you think. Perhaps your father is investigating those things for other reasons. Perhaps he is going to play a joke on someone by throwing a bunch of these sheep into their swimming pool? Perhaps it is for a someone's suprise bachelor party. There could always be a legitimate reason why he is doing this.
The most basic assumption about the world is that it does not contradict itself.

Perhaps dad's got a sense of humor you're not exposed to.
Maybe he came across it by accident, couldn't believe it was true, and had to find out that, yes, people really are that twisted.

Perhaps he found a link on a message board like the one you posted, didn't believe it, still didn't believe it, and wasn't convinced until he saw the sheep multiple times :wink:.

Seriously, don't worry about it too much unless something else suspicious occurs. It may be a gag gift for someone.

I remember the day I accidentaly found out my dad's porn collection..

Blaaahh.. The fact that I had my own porn collection did little to ease my disgust.

Think nothing of it. There can be numerous explanations, and you must give your dad some credit (unless you think he's a complete moron).

In all likelyhood, it's part of a joke or gag gift. Unless you have good solid evidence that he's actually ordered and using at I wouldn't worry. Some how I very much doubt he's into beasitality.

Smack your dad upside the head for being stupid. I mean, even I know enough about computers to delete suspicious stuff from the History file.

:P
Don't hate; appreciate!

I agree. Bury it deep into your subconcious until all that's left is a vague memory that you saw somthing which is causing you to have nightmares about sheep. :P

Actually he usually does... in fact I once found a huge (bigger then the BotM stash) stash of good porn in the Media Player, deleted it later on though.

Thanks all, still sort of in shock and just so you know it goes back around 2 weeks and he apears to be comparing prices. ::shudders:: And considering he doesn't have many friends well.

Try to forget this...everyone has his/her own weirdnesses, and your father might have his own, assuming of course that the gag/trick explanation isn't true. What do you think Mike's kids are going to think when they find out about his sexual interests?

Basically, if it doesn't change the way he behaves, then it's nothing to get worried about. It's just like realising that your parents actually have sex, basically. You simply forget about it in your usual relations with them.

Like many have said...probably just gag.

If not...he may just have a weird side. If it really doesn't change what your dad is...don't worry, it's just a side that you saw for second...sorta like walking in on them while they're having sex...something you honestly don't expect but it's there(not the sheep thing sickos...talking about his dad being odd :P )

Until the day you walk in on your dad fucking a blow-up sheep, there's nothing to worry about. There's a 1001 reasons he could be looking at sites with inflatable sheep, it's probably a gag as others have mentioned so just note the data and move on.

just forget it ever happened. I've found rather astonishing collections with family members, and talking bout it improves nothing.

My suggestion is to go take a long hot shower, scrub yourself till you bleed, then curl up into a ball in your closet, sobbing uncontrollably.
:lol:

Seriously, try not to think about it. It's probably a gag gift, and if it isn't, you really don't want to know about it.

Best thing is to just work harder on college apps or job apps or any apps that have to do with you moving on to find your own perversions and not be influenced by those of your father.

You never saw it. That's my advice. Most people get disgusted when they think of a parent and sex -- I think that may be a defense mechanism. So, take Uncle Duke's advice: Save your brain. You never saw it.

My parents must be the most repressed on the planet. Never found anything like that.

Anyway, my advice? Buy one, and then give it to him at Christmas.

Yeah, right. Try growing up with a Catholic father and Baptist mother. I'm just glad I got them into the UM church. We're much more liberal.

ROFL...don't know if I'd agree with that, it might be taken the wrong way. Still, depending on the family, it might be OK.

Don't. People will start thinking you advocate beastiality even tho you're making a joke. Remember, we're at Nazis.net now. You're not allowed to make snide comments or racey jokes, thats just not tolerated by the Gesta-er, moderators.
