Dad+porn?

I have caught my dad watching porn quite frequently on his laptop and ipad but always tries and hides it when I enter the room (obviously) and I just can't bring myself to confront him due to the pain it will do to my mum and family. On one occasion I caught him watching porn and loaded up the internet history and confronted him on one occasion. He then cooly just deleted the history in front of me and made up an excuse as to why he did it, even though we both know the real reason. To be fair, I haven't caught him watching it in over 6 months but whenever he is on a computer i have a gnawing feeling as to what he is doing. He is a brilliant, fantastic dad who always does everything to support us and does everything humanely possible for my family so it was a real shock when i found him watching porn. What should I do or not do? Have you had any exp with this and how common is it?

I would get him to read the bible and see that what he is doing is immoral.
Is he Pakistani? cause there was another thread on here.....LOL
What does it have to do with you? Mind your own business. Watching porn really isn't a big deal.

What's the issue?

He's a man, if him and your mum aren't getting down and dirty often enough he might just want to bash the bishop a bit. Cut a guy a break.
Are you a female or male?

In all fairness whats wrong with your Dad watching porn? I know we don't like to think about it but I'm sure parents have to bash one out too =/

He should probably be more subtle about it though.
There's nothing wrong with your dad watching porn.

I'm assuming you're female, because if you were male you'd know it was incredibly common and isn't an issue?

When I was 12 I opened my Grandad's laptop and a porn video started playing. At the time I was horrified, simply because I had never really seen any porn before, but now I've just accepted it as a fact of life.

People watch porn. There's nothing wrong with it unless it takes over your life or is ruining your relationship.

Maybe ask him to do it more privately :giggle:

I don't know why you've been negged, because last time it WAS a Pakistani dad (I'm Pakistani myself, before any one accuses me of racism)

EDIT: Someone did make a thread last time about their Pakistani dad, and I am a Pakistani. I mean I post on the "Pakistani society" a lot as well...

Watching porn is completely normal, for anyone.

I think it is unfair of you to give him a hard time and make him feel shameful for watching porn. Why would it be 'shocking' or a cause of pain? People have sex drives and it is natural to want to want to satiate them; you shouldn't expect him to abstain for the sake of your personal views.

Isn't this all that really matters?

I am a male and I understand that everyone has to have a quickie here or there but I first caught him when I was 9 and that really ruined my trust as I had no idea about adult life and pictured everything to be black and white. I understand that it is normal but I can't help think that he should do it so much more privately as if I caught him in numerous occasions, imagine the chances of my mum catching him. ever since I caught him, I picture how he is betraying the trust of my mum and family and the complete hypocrisy he spouts about truth etc. that is what does it for me, the way he is lying to me and my family. If you have been caught man up and face the consequences
