It happened...

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-04 09:28pm

...Dad found remnants of some questionable things I thought I'd knocked off the comp.

I got the lecture. The whole 'demeaning' angle. He's going to harp on this for weeks. In fact, he's probably got some sort of camera aimed at the computer right now. Bah.

Of course, I thought, you know, maybe, if this ever happened, the parents would be cool about it, and just accept it, but, then again, these are the people who, when I go over to my friend's house, demand to know the order of events in which we're going to hang out, speak to their parents, meet them, and talk awhile before letting me out of the fucking house.

Wow.... And you still have access to the computer after your dad found out? I'm impressed.

Thats why it pays to own your own computer and set up passwords.

My father regularly leaves porn he printed out right by the computer.

My parents once found porn magazines below my bed (I was 15), and just laughed. I was greatly embarassed, obviously. Well, and my father leaves tapes full of porn all around the house.

Do your parents allow you to come here?

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-04 09:43pm

Blech. If my mother ever finds out I will be strung up and crucified with rusty needles, as she's a psychologist.

I just delete the stuff and remove all traces when I'm done with it.
Never been close to being discovered...

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-04 09:44pm

I did the same, but I left on there.

The day will come for you, too, Exonerate...

I have hardly anything like that (most are rather tasteful), but I don't think my parents would care too much if they knew or found out.

Sucks to be you man.

It makes me glad that my mom was pretty cool about porn on the comp.

HemlockGrey · Post by **HemlockGrey** » 2003-02-04 09:56pm

Hell, I'm not even allowed to have instant messenger. I'm frankly not surprised at their reaction.

Eech...

That's overkill.

My parents don't give a damn.

It pays to be 34 with a high speed connection who has his own apartment and no parents around.

Sorry 'bout that man.
Just how old are you, BTW?
If you were 17+ I don't see why your parents would be mad...
after all, then you would be nearly an adult.

I don't look at porn, because my computer's too slow for it, and I have found that I can masturbate without help, but if I did, I would look at it when I was alone house, cover my tracks by using a search engine, and not storing it on my computer, just looking at it once.

Hell, I just go to a site, look at some pics and maybe a vid or too that I don't download, and that is it.
Although I really don't need to be careful, seeing as my gf doesn't live with me yet, and doesn't care about me watching porn anyway.
It's a habit, I guess.
So, was it really nasty hardcore porn or just women in bikinis?

Spanky The Dolphin · Post by **Spanky The Dolphin** » 2003-02-04 10:13pm

It wasn't like RayCav's raincoat shit, was it?

Captain tycho · Post by **Captain tycho** » 2003-02-04 10:17pm

Do tell, Hemlock.
I can offer some advice as an older adult, if you need any.
Personally, as long as kids aren't looking at really hardcore stuff at like 10-14, I'm fine. It's totally natural for a male (or female) to look at nude pics. It's a totally natural thing, like masturbating and sex.
I may sound like a parent explaning sex to you, (

) but it's just some advice.

I feel for you, man. Happened to me twice. Very embarrassing, and I got grounded for it. But since I got my own computer, I've made sure to delete every trace of where I've been, and I keep any saved porn in a hidden folder in the WINDOWS directory. No way in hell anybody's gonna look through that.

I've got two users on my family comp, one for me, one for the family. Password protected and all.

Post by **Gandalf** » 2003-02-04 11:29pm

I think if my mum found out she might be relieved, I once saw a pamphlet she had that said, "Is My Son Gay?"

As for the security issue, I have my own access, to wipe one's tracks, just go to internet options, clear history and clear temp internet files, if you're really worried delete cookies too.
