I think my dad's a Fapper (found out one of his "porn" folders) anyone else similar?

    Dont usually bring this up ever around here, but seeing one of my dad's porn folders today, brought me into thinking he's clearly a "Fapper", anyone else having Fapper dads too? If so, how do you resist the urges to go see their porn stashes? Are they into a different kind of porn?

    In my case he's into a completely different kind of porn compared to mine (the kind of porn most of you guys often bring up around here), so I dont fap to it, but how about you guys, how do you deal with it? Do you speak to your dads about it or stay silent? I think it brings him shame to talk about it, so I dont talk about it with him, but what about you?

    I have never found any internet porn from my dad, but me and my brother did find a VHS porn tape in their bedroom when we were around 12-14 years of age.

    As far as talking to your dad about this.. i personally couldn't, i can barely talk to him about standard relationship stuff, he's quite closed off, and has never been open to talking about emotions etc, so i guess you just have to know what kind of relationship you have with your dad as to how it will go down..

    Same with my dad to some degree, most parents are pretty closed off in regards to their sex life.

    I do wonder if dad's going through what most of the people here on 30s+ years old have gone through with fapping, he's pretty old school but caught up with tech and computers he doesnt have sex with mom as he used to, so I'm wondering if the porn vídeos he watches are a way to vent out his sexual drive.

    Also he aint the only one, there are people he knows who send him mails of the erotic porn vídeos so he's in a even worst position than most of us here, since he has effectively a Reverse accountability partner that enables his fappers tendencies.

    I discovered my dads stash when I was 8/9.
    He used to keep copies of the news papers daily Sunshine Girls in his closet but he would only keep the hottest ones. I found myself doing the same thing in adulthood.
    He never had actual porn magazines, only soft core stuff.
    I never spoke to him about it.

    I’m pretty sure I introduced my older brother to porn and know he’s got a problem because his wife constantly complains about his various problems with their sexlife and relationship problems.

    Oh boy, that looks serious, I think my dad got into "modern porn" since it's easy access along with the folders and what not, old school porn is likely a bigger problem, since the porn tendencies outweighted the lack of convenience of said porn type.

    Does he still keep the tapes or got rid of them?
     
  7. How long did it take you to be able to see him in the same way as before? Must have been awkward.

    At first I thought the porn he had on his PC was due to him using nasty sites, to watch soccer matches (at the time that stuff was at the "Transfer" folder). Eventually I found out he had actually moved it to one of his Hard Drives, which pretty much told me all I needed to know about it.

    Sometimes he had so low security on his PC that me and my mom + sister could see the porn ads appearing on the PC, we never talked about him being a "Horn Dog" or anything like it, I assumed that stuff was also case he let the nasty sites give him those ads (and trust me, we laugh about it when those appear, since dad likes to call out that his PC is "safe"), but since he keeps a folder called "eros" on his hard drive and keeps copies in other hard drives of his, it pretty much tells me, he's a fapper porn addict.

    I dont think you ever recover from a experience like that, as one assumes the dad as their sexual needs met by their partner and not be in need of porn that badly, but oh well.

    I do wonder if one of the reasons why we dont get many visitors nowadays is because of the porn too, like dad's ashamed of having other family members seeing a porn ad popping up or something.

    Oh man. I remember in 1998/99 my sisters and I shared a computer. I know for sure they would see all the pop ups, saved videos and pictures.
    I remember I would save chat logs in ICQ and I know my oldest sister would find it.
    I can’t even imagine what they thought of me.
    i know my oldest sister makes fun of her husband cause she knows he watches porn so maybe she just grew up thinking that it’s normal for boys.

    I've been thinking but do you think my dad could've used porn as a substitute for his smoking addiction? Never thought much of it til now, but it's a fact I only started to noticing his porn after he quit smoking.

    I also remember finding a few dvd's when I was 12. Of course I had to watch them all. That really gave a boost to my PMO habits. Well that and the internet which I got access to at that time.

    Reading these posts motivates me to quit even more, since I don't ever want my future son to discover "my stash".

    It's interesting to read these posts. I never found anything of my dad's if there was anything. But I have a young son. He's getting old enough now that he probably has or will be exposed to porn soon. We've talked about it. Have tried to warn him about what he might encounter and stuff to avoid -- e.g. ever sharing photos or anything. Hopefully, he'll be a bit prepared when the time comes and not end up a fap addict like this dad. That said, my biggest fear is him discovering what I'm up to late at night. I don't know which would be worse, him finding out and not talking to me about it or him coming to me to tell me he found out!

    Has happened to me as well.
    My parents are extreme cheap skates so a 76.99 phone bill was a beating.
    It was usually $15 / month.

    Man, I did some stupid shit when I was a kid.

    Incognito mode, anyone? Ha! I'm an expert at this point on hiding my tracks. My hard drive and history are clean as a whistle. I'm more afraid of getting caught in the act!

    so many people at my work got busted for porn use on their company assigned iPhones. They did not think to use wi-fi and safari private mode. Lol

    In fact, I got introduced to this nonsense on my dad's phone. There were many such out there but as I was scared the hell out, I didn't go much further on his phone at that time.

    Thread makes me feel old :p I found a couple of "lovers guide" VHS tapes in my MUM's closet. Very interesting and informative to me as a teenager. Also a few erotic books in my parents' room, text only, which I read many times. Eventually discovered my older brother's copies of Playboy, Loaded, FHM etc. I was 18 before I was introduced to the 'real thing', and in my 20s before I was using it regularly. This gives me some hope, although I am 37 now. But I remember a time before this. It didn't warp my brain before I grew up, and it didn't affect my perception of sex until after I was already having it.
