I also have privileges set up in XP. When they get older and want to build thier own PC they can but it will still be with the rest of them.

Remember, parents, you can't shield your child from physical development, but you can stunt their emotional growth. Nothing says "I love you" like "Big Brother Is Watching!"

My parents hid the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for christ's sake.

It's still awkward as hell for me to have girl posters, screensavers, magazines, or watching sexual scene from a movie on national tv, let alone a non-edited one. I don't have a pr0n stash though, but even if I did my parents would find it in a heartbeat. I have absolutely zero privacy. They open my mail, go through my stuff, etc etc.

Thus proving my point above. God forbid you should actually be confronted with a living, breathing, naked woman. You'd probably trigger the CGPS (Child Growth Protection System) chip they implanted in your head and have an aneurysm.

I hereby order you to visit the websites of Maxim, FHM, and Bullz-eye. Ignore any and all text.

Agreed.

If it wouldn't get me a vacation, I'd ... ahem ... "bring up my FTP again" and give him a "privledged account" ... :p

But I like posting here. :D

When we were younger, a bunch of us guys rented a porn flick. We watched it and then took off. When I got home my Dad was watching it. My Mom was in the kitchen laughing.

The REAL question is, did you ever find your PARENTS' porn??

I'm only 27, but it's a WHOLE different ballgame for you guys who got to grow up with the WWW being mainstream. It's way way WAY too easy. You missed out on the whole right of passage young adolescent boys in previous generations had to go through who had to fight and claw their way just to see a hint of boobs.

[old man story voice]Back in my day, we had to find our dad's old porn stashes ourselves. I'll never forget climbing up into the attic when I was about 12 or 13 to put into permanent storage a bunch of my old toys. That's when I stumbled across one of the most amazing discoveries my young eyes had ever seen - my dad's old Playboy collection spanning the years 1976 to 1980 neatly sorted in a box way off in the corner of the attic. What a glorious day that was I tells ya. Never before had I known such riches existed in such close proximity to my own room. Naturally I had to take some with me for further research. Many years later, he found them one day when cleaning up my room while I was away at college. By that time I'd since forgotten about where I'd hidden them since I was now experiencing the real deal and we shared a good laugh over it. Ahhh, those were the days.[/old man story voice]

When I was 12 or so I found the stash. I felt a bit like the guy who discovered King Tut.

Yep, was looking at some pron on the net when I was 15 or 16 (circa 1996-1997) one night and my mom walked in on me. She said something like "Wow, didn't know you were into that kind of stuff..." and just kind of walked away in disgust.

I think I made up some story about finding a floppy disk on the floor at school and I was just looking at the files on it, but I'm pretty damn sure she didn't beleive me.

It's not everyday your mom walks in on you look at some chick with her legs spread wide open... or at least I hope it isn't. :D

I don't think I would have seen any pr0n if it wouldn't have been for the WWW. Certainly made things a lot easier to get it. Now I'm married and don't have any desire for it.

Nope, though there were some close calls :p

I also found my parents porn and they never found out either (though there were some close calls on that one as well!:p:D)

While still living in the house, I remember I didn't clear the cache or my history logs. My sisters went on the computer and saw all the links and queries relating to pr0n and I just blamed it on my dad b/c we had talked previously on how we had suspicions that my dad was browsing. Whether he did browse or not, he was stuck with the blame. :D

When I was 14 my dad got me a subscription to Playboy. The holiday issues were always my favorites.
