Years ago I made the mistake of bookmarking one or two pr0n sites in Netscape. (My parents used IE and I used Netscape.) Well, when I uninstalled Netscape, IE imported the bookmarks from it, and they saw them. I didn't get in much trouble, just a short lecture from dad. But, screw Netscape!

Yeah, my parents did when cleaning my room. What could they do? Lecture me? Geez, it's a natural part of human nature to be curious and aroused with the opposite sex. Now... i'm sure they would freak out if they found gay porn... like what happened to my friend.

My parents never caught mine, since I password protected my PC...however, I'd walk into my dad's office sometimes as he frantically closed IE windows. And I found my parents' "Xandria" sex catalog.. and their Playboys.. and stuff.

I moved out at 18 partly for independence and yeah, partly cause I was weirded out by some of the crap I found :Q

LOL i had a friend that we use to go through their parents bedroom... and damn, did they have an active sex life. I'm talking about S&M stuff like leather and latex outfits, masks, chains and cuffs, etc.

Cool parents, Oreo has... hmm... YES! (shameless parody of the AnandTech Yodarator quote that used to be in Confused's sig) ;)

My parents are vehemently anti-porn, so I've never even tried to find any while they're in the house. Now, when they leave...

...of course, before they get back, I clear cache & cookies, despite the fact that they don't know enough to suspect that I've been up to anything, nor do they know how to check the cache, history, and cookies to tell where I've been.

when i was working at blockbuster video, someone returned the wrong video in the video box.

it was a homemade porn flick. HAHAHHAA

we all watched it and laughed so hard. the guy kept on yelling "oh yeah baby!" in the flick. hahhhaa

then the guy came back the next day, and asked if there was a misreturned movie.

we isntantly knew what he was talking about. one of the employees gave him the video back.

and my friend, the back of the store, recognized him. as he was leaving, he yelled "oh yeah baby!"

and the guy turned super red, and ran away with his video.
HAHAHAHAAHA

I've been caught by just about every member of my family spanking the monkey. Nobody knocked when I was living at home, so they got sploogified. Not that I wasn't always beatin' it mind you, because I was. I think it had a lot to do with living directly(less than fifty feet)from an xrated book/movie store. I also lost my virginity at ten.

Oh, and yes, I got caught with much porn. I used to raid the dumpster at above mentioned dirty book store, and they were constantly throwing out any outdated magazines, videos and whatnot. I was in heaven. My mother got to the point where she wouldn't even mention it to me anymore. She'd just throw it out. She also intercepted a penis enlarging contrapment I ordered from one of said magazines. THAT was embarrassing. And no, I don't have a small penis, but you can never be TOO big. I was pissed!! I wanted that three inches damn it!! She asked me one day, Mom:"John, what is it you keep checking the mail for everyday?" I was like Me:"Nothing. Why?",Mom: "Oh, no reason. It's just that I caught up with the mail man the other day and he asked me to sign for a brown box item I hadn't ordered. Would you know anything about that." Me: "Well, what was it." I was shaking from fear of the embarrassment that awaited me if it were what I thought it was that had come. I had been wondering what the hell was taking it so long. Mom:"Well, it appears someone is looking to add a few inches to their equiptment. Whoever it was ordered a PENIS ENLARGING PUMP. It's quite a nice model too. It had a $50 pricetag on it. I know it couldn't be yours because not only would you have had to steal the $50 from me or your father, but you would know that a penis pump isn't something we would allow you to have. RIGHT!!!" Me:"Uh, yea mom. That's right. Some freak must have sent that thing here by mistake. Throw it away. Eww. Mom:"BTW, John-Paul, whoever ordered it had the same name as you, since that is who they had me sign it for." Me:"Uhm." I was mortified.

What about "Did your parents or gf or wife ever find you "using" the pr0n?"

well, actually. i have a few stories. first,when i was 13, i found my dads porn. if u can call it that. a folder called "hardcore" with all those dialer programs on his pc with a few pics.

but, when i was about 5, i found an unmarked video in my dads closet. i asked my mom what it was, and she said "i dont know lets see". we popped it in and voila. of course t teh time i didnt care.

third, also wehn i was 13, one morning i had stupidly put some pr0n into my documents by accident, forgetting to hide it. and when i came out of teh bathroom, my dad was watching it, laughing. i asked (not looking at the screen, i was on the other side of the pc) whats so funny? he said "well, atleast i know ur not gay, u had me worried when you wanted to cook dinner all those nights" then promptly asked, "hey, where do u get this good stuff from?" VERY uncomfortable.

and for all u parents out there, never do this next thing!!!

(age 14 this time) well, im jewish right. so we had a holiday at my aunts house, all my family, aunts and uncles were in the living room with us. my dad was saying how i just got a new computer etc etc.. then said, speaking of computers, u should see what this kid has on his computer, phew, its crazy. i only found one thing, but im sure he has alot more hidden in there"

I guess I am a hard a$$. I don't let my kids have door locks and all of the PC's are in one "computer room" and frequently looked at and all websites are logged on my PC. I'm not trying to be mean but I get sick of the "Dad I got another virus and you have to format and reinstall" (not every virus but there has been some good one's). 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.
Um...you don't have to do all that. Anti-virus software and then let them figure out how to format & reinstall. I was 11 when I had to learn that with the Win95 beta :). Two years later, running NT4 on my good Q2 box (K6-2 350, 12MB Voodoo2, etc.), I started taking it apart and putting it back together, piece by piece, until I could do it to the whole thing. I doubt I would have bothered trying if it weren't in my room.

The REAL question is, did you ever find your PARENTS' porn??
Yes, and they never noticed. I got caught *once* on a computer, and was immensely careful from that point on. There some close call,s but it's amazing how fast you can click, press buttons (for the tape variety) and run to the stash and back somewhere safe when you're on that adrenaline rush and cursing yourself :)
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.
Without the pr0n, isn't that what the imagination is for? Fully dressed real women are as good as any pr0n, IMO. There is just something you do around pr0n that you don't when walking by someone. Well, dogs sometimes do, but...

When I'm on my PC my door is always locked... and even when I'm not its still locked.

When I leave, my PC is on login screen so can't login without PW.
