Watching a porn VHS on the family video is as easy as hitting pornhub on the laptop?
I just had a thought, seeing as how I couldn't be a dad in the ~80s with a teenaged-son. How does the adult me think I would have handled a situation, if I were adult me back in 1985, with a son, where I get home early, walk into the room, only giving the kid enough time to switch from video source and turn off the VCR and TV (assuming it doesn't auto-eject, lol), so that he can walk away.
The tape is left in the machine, and of course the kid is sweating bullets all afternoon/evening, trying to find the perfect unguarded time to remove the tape from the VCR. Of course, that time never happens because I have claimed the L-Z Boy, a case of studly Hamm's beer by my side, as I sit down to watch Joe Montana and the Niners kick some other pointless team's ass on Monday Night.
Of course half-time comes or the game is generally over by then anyway, and I think I will check out this video I picked up at the video rental store. Perhaps it was the hilarious Money Pit with Tom Hanks or this Critters movie, giving Gene Simmons a turn as some weird space bounty hunter.
Turn on the VCR with my remote, switch to source, but it autoplays. I am then met with heavy pounding and moaning, some hardcore camera angles, and quite a lot of shock as Butt Rangers 24 is now playing on my TV. Stunned, I fumble to try and mute, fail of course, while running to violently remove this thing from the TV. Confused, and knowing myself, I wonder if I left this tape in the machine myself, or it got there some other way. No evidence of the empty, oversized case stashed away in the hidey hole where I usually keep my porn, and unsure if I even have a copy of Butt Rangers 24 (honestly--they were just phoning it in after Butt Rangers 14), I remove the tape and put it in my hidey hole.
Unable to definitively attribute the provenance of this type, the son and I simply never address or speak of this event for the rest of our lives--each one of us always assuming that the other one was responsible for the porn and so like any health father-son relationship, just maintain complete silence and emotional detachment forever.
