Daddy Issues
September 21, 2011
I am a 22-year-old college grad who has been living at home for the last year. My parents are divorced, so I've gone back and forth from one place to the other. The other day, I was using my father's computer, and the history came up on the search engine. It turns out that while I am in the house, my father views pornography that involves incest fantasies. I felt quite disturbed by what I saw—it made me physically sick—and I'm wondering if I should continue to have a relationship with my father.
In a week, I start a new job in another country—so I can get away from him for a while and think about my options. What should I do? Should I tell him that I know about it and I'm not interested in having a relationship with him anymore? Do I tell my friends or family? Should I trust what my gut is telling me and pack up, jump in a cab, and never talk to him again?
Disturbed And Distressed
There are people who are turned on by incest scenarios—hypothetical dads seducing hypothetical daughters, fictional moms seducing fictional sons—who are nevertheless revolted by the idea of actual incest, i.e., nonhypothetical fuck sessions with their own nonfictional family members. Many of these incest fetishists have sent me letters over the years, DAD, wondering what's wrong with them. Or wondering what's right with what's wrong with them, I should say, as they're turned on by incest fantasies but not, as they're invariably relieved to add, by incest realities. So what gives?
It's the thrill of violating a taboo, not a child; it's the power dynamics that have been eroticized, not the parental dynamics—but that's for another column. You wrote, DAD, because you don't know what to do about your dad.
Unless your father has given you reason to suspect that he actually wants to fuck you—unless finding your dad's porn helped you to identify a pattern of inappropriate behaviors on your father's part with but one possible interpretation (he actually wants to fuck you)—let's give your father the benefit of the doubt, shall we? Let's assume that one of the many letters I've received from incest fetishists was written by your dad.
I'm operating under an assumption: again, that your father has never done anything that made you feel unsafe. If your discovery had led you to connect a bunch of deeply creepy dots, DAD, that's surely something you would've mentioned in your letter. Which is why I'm not just urging you to give your father the benefit of the doubt, however revolting his taste in porn might be, but also to take what you found out about him and stuff it down the memory hole.
Don't say anything to your father, DAD, or to anyone else. You no longer have to live with your father—or use his computer—and I see no need to terminate your relationship with him, or to go nuclear on his reputation, over a deeply creepy kink that your father neither asked for nor has ever attempted to act on.
1. Thirty-year-old gay man here. I was briefly dating someone until he was a huge asshole to me. I have since not had any contact with him. However, I have been Facebook stalking him and obsessing over pictures of the guys I assume he's dating now. Why am I having such a hard time getting over him? Our relationship was so brief! He's a major asshole!
2. It may help you to know that I lost my virginity by being raped when I was 19. I started dating only last year, because I thought sex was scary and never wanted to feel like that again and/or make anyone else feel like that. (The guy who raped me went on to become a born-again Christian!) This guy is only the second person I've ever dated. Do you think that's relevant?
3. I used to have stretched-out earlobes. When I took my plugs out, I did get "earlabia," but only for a few days, and then they closed up and no one really noticed.
Normal Earlobes Now
1. I can't know for sure! But it sounds like you might still have feelings for this guy! Just a hunch!
2. I'm sorry that your very first sexual experience was so traumatic, NEN, and indeed it strikes me as relevant. You were violated and powerless during your very first sexual experience and now, 10 years later, your relationship ended in a way that left you feeling violated and powerless. Stalking your ex on Facebook gives you a feeling of power over him, NEN, but that power is bogus, stalking him is making you miserable, and it's pushing back the date that you're finally over this guy. Knock it off.
3. You've given me hope for all the otherwise cute boys I see wandering around with stretched-out earlabia.
Hipster boys! Keep stretching your earlobes! I'm a hipster girl and stroking the silky texture of a nice stretched-out set of earlobes gets me insanely wet. And tongue-fucking a stretched piercing is enough to bring me most of the way to orgasm. If there are chicks with a kink for something, then surely there must be dudes who have a kink for it, too.
I stretched my own earlobes 20 years ago for mostly sexual reasons. I like the way it looks, but I did it primarily because I get off on having my ears fondled and licked. I figured that if someone licking the outside of my earlobe felt so good, imagine if someone could lick the inside of my earlobe! Now they can—and it's bliss!
I'm not saying you have to change your mind, Dan, because YKIOBINMK—your kink is okay but it's not my kink—but I was disappointed that you would come out so strongly against stretched-out earlobes. You're always defending lesser kinks. Could it be that you were unaware of mine?
Yes, Ears Are Hot
I know enough about sex—and enough about kink—to know that if something exists, someone out there somewhere is perving on it. And if a particular something is made of human flesh and has a hole in the middle of it, someone out there somewhere is sticking fingers, tongues, dicks, or gerbils in it, making sex tapes while they do it, and then posting the video on the World Wide Interwebs for all to enjoy.
Somehow it didn't occur to me that there were earlabia fetishists out there, so I appreciate—kindasorta—you taking the time to clue me in. While I may disapprove of silky, stretched-out sets of earlabia, YEAH, I will defend to the death your right to tongue them.
You're going to catch hell for your earlobe observation, but I have to add this: I worked with a young man who decided that gauging his earlobes to the max was a sexy thing to do. When the look got old, he took the plugs out. Because of the size of the plugs, the holes in his ears would not close. He had to have them surgically cut and stitched, which made his ears look somewhat deformed. The cost was $800, and it wasn't covered by insurance.
Just Saying
You've filled me with despair for all the otherwise cute boys I see wandering around with stretched-out earlabia.

And here I was hoping to never read the term "earlabia" after last week's column...
Amen on the advice to DAD - listen to Dan and don't do something stupid that could mess up your dad's life and relationships!

DAD: Watching a porn scenario does not mean you want to actualize on it. I enjoy lesbian porn, yet I have no desire to have a sex-change operation so that I can have sex as a lesbian.
4
F--k, that's one for the awkward award. For the sake of your dad AFTER you leave you might want to figure out a way of bringing up the importance of erasing search history without letting him realize what happened. You know, just in case someone else inconviently uses his computer.
5
You know, I'm a little squicked by the dad viewing that porn while the adult child is in the house. It's not logical or rational of me, but it's a squick.
Agreed that said adult child should go on this new job and let this information settle before taking any action.

DAD doesn't elaborate on what the "incest porn" consisted of, but just about any gay porn or online hookup pitch that involves a big age disparity seems to use the "daddy/son" nomenclature.
Personally, it creeps me out – and I say that as someone whose boyfriend is 17 years his junior – but I suspect that most who use those terms in that context aren't fantasizing about actual incest, any more than "bear admirers" fantasize about sex with actual bears.

I like dad/son porn stories. But I don't actually want to have sex with my dad (or son if I had one). I think DAD is flipping out unnecessarily. I also like rape scenarios in porn, but I don't want to rape anyone or get raped.
9
I'm assuming that the incest scenerios reflected the same genders of DAD and hir father? If that's the case, I'd totally call him out on it. Or at the very least, advise him that he should clear his internet history.
10
One of the first porns I ever saw was Taboo from the early 80s. It's still a favorite. Kay Parker has sex with her son, big mustaches and massive amounts of pubic hair. Much as I enjoy it, I have no desire to have sex with any of my children, nor do I have a yen for big mustaches or massive amounts of pubic hair.
DAD needs to learn about boundaries, and respect her father as a sexual being in his own right, completely independent of anything that has to do with her. Self centered much? Jesus. Since when does having adult children preclude one from having a separate sexual life? My oldest child is nearly 20, and I have no intention of turning in my sex card, fuck you very much.

Is this what happens when you "move home with your parents" but they're divorced? You shuffle back and forth with your belongings in a HelloKitty backpack, as if you were 13 years old again and had no options?
One option (if she weren't about to leave the country anyway): she could tell her mother that her dad left some porn visible on the computer. (Please, please, don't specify the details - just say you clicked away as soon as you saw a penis.) In the ensuing brouhaha, the parents will presumably find a solution that gets her out of her dad's house, but without cutting him out of her life.

"If your discovery had led you to connect a bunch of deeply creepy dots, DAD, that's surely something you would've mentioned in your letter."
I don't agree with this premise.
I think "Should I trust what my gut is telling me and pack up, jump in a cab, and never talk to him again?"
Is suggestive that there's something going on beyond just "wow that porn is icky".
In my eyes anyway.

DAD, just tell your parents that it's important to erase their browsers and clear their caches and whatever else to protect their information from phishing online. No need to drop the info about porn. Tell them you saw it on 20/20 or some shit.
A little white lie goes a long way. And FFS, don't mention that you saw that stuff, especially if you otherwise have a good relationship with your parents. Porn is not necessarily a substitute for something the viewer desires to actually experience.

If you go on my computer, you're going to find some nasty stuff. How about fuck off? It's my own private business. What are you doing poking around in my stuff anyway?
Yeah, let's go with that...

For the love of God, computers are plentiful and cheap. Why can't everyone just get one of his/her own, or at least assign individual user accounts. I'm sick of children who "accidentally" find sordid parental browsing footprints.
Really, it's like sharing a toothbrush, or underwear. Sheesh!

@16: I suspect parents may want to keep an eye on their children's internet activities. Not necessarily to look for sordid browsing footprints, but to protect their children from online predators.

"Should I tell him that I know about it and I'm not interested in having a relationship with him anymore? Do I tell my friends or family? Should I trust what my gut is telling me and pack up, jump in a cab, and never talk to him again?" for god's sake, DAD, since when did you get promoted to the fantasy police?
It's not the nature of the fantasy that bothers DAD, so much as it is thinking of her father as a sexual being. How dare he?!!!
Get over it, DAD. Your parents don't need to submit their sexual thoughts and fantasies to you for your approval.
For the record, I get off on incest scenarios in my erotic imaginary life. I like to read about them and to role-play with partners (I don't tend to watch video porn). However, not only do I not *approve* of incest in real life, I can think of no one in a million years less sexually appealing to me than any of my family members. DAD, have you ever heard of "make believe?"

Gotta agree with 18. DAD what if the situation was reversed and it was your father who found the porn on your computer?
Would you like if he decided that made you a pervert, cut off all communication and humiliated you in front of friends and family?
If the answer to that question is 'no' that do what Dan says. Put it down the memory hole and stop acting like your Dad is a pervert because he has fantasy that aren't about having missonary-in-the-dark sex with -insert acceptable person here-.

Watching porn with roleplay scenarios definitely doesn't make you want to act on it. Also, DAD's real fantasy might simply be about wanting to fuck a woman young enough to be his adult daughter. For awhile in my twenties I had a fantasy about wanting to fuck a much older guy in his late 40's or 50's- old enough to be my dad. My fantasy had nothing to do with wanting to anything sick or incestuous, even if I did look at a few "Daddy" scenes.
I thought older guy porn would be an extremely easy porn scenario to find, but I found it surprisingly difficult to get. I didn't want Lolita-type porn, but there wasn't much else available. Other than the gay leather daddy sites, the only other sites I could find were called things like, "fuck me grandpa" with adult actresses in pigtails and knee socks- not quite what I wanted, but the closest I could find to my older guy scenario. I looked at it anyway, because I couldn't find any other age-difference porn.
Maybe DAD just has a kink for younger women with guys his age. Plus, roleplay is just that- roleplay. Most people know the difference between fantasy and reality. As long as DAD didn't do anything creepy in rl, no need to judge the man by his porn viewing. Plus, DAD's daugher would've been horrified and disgusted no matter what porn it was. No one wants to know what their Dad uses to get off!

Oh, for flip's sake! All these disdainful, sexually sophisticated people who are criticizing DAD for being squicked over incest porn amuse me. Stop trying so hard to be hip before you strain something already. Then you wouldn't be able to have disdainful, sexually sophisticated sex. Wait a minute, that might not be such a bad thing...
22
Personally, I think DAD needs to thank her lucky stars that all she witnessed was the evidence and not the act. Walking in on her dad looking at that could've resulted in years of awkwardness for the both of them, but as it is, the awkwardness is only hers, internally. It's not much, but it's an upside.
My only other advice to her would be to use her own personal laptop and/or smartphone to browse at her Dad's place from now on. Or, at the very least, install a separate browser for herself, to avoid having more search history dumped on her.

re: DAD
Excellent advice, Dan. You understand well the human psyche. Porn watchers are their own breed and if a person has never watched it, almost any of it seem be sickening. One of the worst experiences I ever had happened on Twitter. I don't use it to this day because of that one incident. Some gay guy posted a porn picture that I clicked on like an idiot. I won't go into the details, but what disturbed me more than the actual shocking image was what my imagination was cooking up about the pure evil that had to exist in the person who posted it. I felt physically ill for several hours. I felt the human race was doomed, not so much because of the porn but because of how Twitter was being used: to inflict shock on total strangers. It was a day I felt the Taliban maybe had a point.
I still feel whoever did that is evil, but the image itself wouldn't freak me out at this time. Porn is so prevalent I wouldn't be surprised if it went mainstream soon. It almost has. Who the h. knows where we're headed as a society and culture. Much of what this fine new information age of ours is bringing isn't so wonderful, but then how is that any different from any other media revolution?
Anyway, DAD, if you're father's behavior is OK then you've got to look at and relate to that. That's the real person. Don't tell me you have never had one icky thought your entire life. I won't believe it. But you still identify yourself as a decent human being, right? If you dislike your father for other reasons, then that's a different story.

@12: There are plenty of children (adult or only aspiring thereto) who are deeply squicked out by the idea that their parents have a libido AT ALL. There have been at least two letters that I can remember in the last year or so here where people freak the fuck out over their parents' sex lives in ways that inappropriately play the incest card. One was about a parent dating somebody's best friend, and the "child" in the situation interpreted that as the parent wanting to fuck the child by proxy. One person said that just having to think about their parents having sex felt incestuous.
This case is rather more explicitly about incest than that one, but still, I think that gut reactions from children about their parents' sex lives tend to be gut overreactions. LW should think really, really hard about whether there was any concrete evidence that this was anything but abstract fantasy for the father -- a hugely different concept than if it was about or involved him/her specifically -- before going nuclear on him.

27
Also can't help but wonder how much digging through the ol' history did DAD have to do to get so sickened.
If it was just a glance at the website titles in the history, those can be misleading. (There's a lot of porn about "my sister/mother/son/whatever" that turns out to be about "my sister/mother/son/whatever's hot best friend, who jumps me while sister/mother/son/whoever is off at the store")
On the other hand, if DAD investigated deeply enough to confirm his/her initial impressions, what the hell was he/she doing that for? Invasion of privacy much?

28
I never even considered that enjoying incest porn was scary to some people... I'm going to start wiping my history more frequently.
29
The third thing to keep in mind is that, given the usual production values of most porn shoots, the premise is invariably the thinnest veneer of plot, costume, and location, which very quickly devolves into yet another pair of naked people of average porn star age and looks, rutting in the usual manner. DAD's dad may simply have liked the looks of the actresses (who are all over 18 and not actually related to him) and the incest angle may have been entirely incidental.
30
To the death, huh? I admit I am not nearly so altruistic - should a choice come down between my life and the ability of a stranger to get off on ear sex, I'm gonna choose the former. But that's why Dan is such a good advocate for kinksters - he's really committed, you know?
31
@11 Whoa, telling Mom is NOT a good idea. As an adult child of divorced parents, I resent the drama they continue to drag me into whenever I go home to visit - a bombshell like this would prevent DAD from ever having a significant life event again that wasn't filled with fights and managing the parental tension.
It is possible that the mother isn't totally crazy and would just tell her adult kid to grow up upon learning that s/he saw teh porn, but my experience with divorce dynamics informs me that even sane people become crazy with respect to the former spouse.
A much better solution: why doesn't DAD just go to their mother's house and say s/he just wanted to spend more time with her? Wait out the squicks there. Problem solved.

Viewers of porn, who don't want their porn to get looked at by others they share a roof with: individual accounts. Sign off EVERY SINGLE TIME. Make it a habit.
DAD, take above advice to heart. Give yourself time to settle into the new gig & new digs. Decide then if something needs to be said. Plenty of people like to look at sick-n-twisted stuff who'd never ever do it IRL. Don't punish your dad for having a moment of dark fantasy. BUT, your letter has me worried that's not all there is to it, too.

@31 - I take your point. I was just searching for a way to stop the kid from being bounced house to house like a ping-pong ball. (And I was imagining mom insisting: "If you're living here full-time, then your dad better be paying your rent.")

@21 (catseye), way to miss the point of every single comment written here. You get the clueless award for this year!
To DAD: Dan's right. Has your daddy ever done anything that suggests he wants to actualize those fantasies (is your 'gut feeling', as someone above suggested, based on something other than 'this porn is icky')? Then you may have a real problem. Otherwise, it's just another situation in which finding porn in someone's computer freaks us out because we didn't expect that person (father, mother, brother, sister) to have an interest in that.
If I told you the things I find arousing, you'd probably consider me an icky perv. Yet I'm a successful, well-mannered, I'd even say well-balanced person who doesn't represent a threat to anyone (including my daughter) or to society.
There are bad people out there, and your dad may be one of them. But then again, there also are good people out there, and your dad just might be one of them, too, despite the icky kink (we don't really ask to have the kinks we have, as Dan pointed out). To say nothing of all the in-betweens.
Life's not simple. Whatever you do, there'll be consequences. Just think about it before you act.
(By the way, are you sure it was your father who searched for those sites -- or could it be that some third person used his computer while you weren't looking? You did, so maybe someone else did, too?)

I enjoy the hell out of brother-sister incest porn but I so do not want to fuck any of my brothers. I think part of the appeal is the taboo, partly the idea that it's a bond stronger than any other (say they grew up together, know each other better than anyone else, won't let anyone else close)... the fucked-up dependent dynamic that goes along with so much of it just appeals to me. My relationship with my brothers isn't even anything like the brother-sister incest relationships I enjoy.
And come on, how can you be a fan of X-men and not want Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to fuck, seriously. :P

What the fuck, DAD? Incest fetishes are ridiculously common. Is he/she really that surprised? It's just not that disturbing.
@12: You have a tendency to read abuse into things when it isn't there... DAD said he/she felt disturbed and physically sick, and "going with my gut" in this case meant going with that feeling and his/her instinct.
@24: Now I have to know what the picture was.

39
For what it's worth, DAD, I have a couple of fantasies (neither of them involving incest) that really turn me on but would never, ever want to act out in real life. In fact, my girlfriend in the fantasy isn't even my real-life girlfriend or anyone I've ever met.
Why the fantasy is hot while the reality would be totally gross and depressing is a complete mystery to me.

@18, 15, 10 - nothing in the letter to indicate that DAD has a problem with her father having a sexual fantasy life. It's just this particular fantasy that prompts the very reasonable, I think, question - does this mean he wants to do this to me?
Dan answered that - "not necessarily". Problem solved.
@11 - she's 22, not 15. If she's got issues with shuffling back and forth between parents' houses, she doesn't need to get her mommy to intervene. Just negotiate a living situation that works, as an adult. "Mom, I'm getting tired of shuffling back and forth. What would you need from me to have it work out if I stayed here fulltime?"

I've watched incest porn before not because the idea of incest turned me on but because I enjoy watching an older women fucking a younger one and it just turns out that the porn God provide this in the form of incest porn. Could just be the age thing for DAD dad too.
42
@40 (agony)
You say that finding out your father watches incest porn "prompts the very reasonable, I think, question - does this mean he wants to do this to me."
What if she'd found centaur porn? Would it be reasonable for her to think her father wants to really find a mythical creature? People do watch porn of things they'd like to do, but they also watch porn all the time, about things they wouldn't do in real life (hello, 40 foot tall woman porn).
The letter writer is judgmental because the dad's porn breaks incest taboos, and because she doesn't want to think of him getting off to something she doesn't approve of. He might well not even transfer those thoughts to his own, real daughter, let alone want to pursue them. Unless she has any reason to think that he is getting off to specific thoughts of her (and even that, if it stays always in the realm of his own imaginative life, seems icky maybe, but as long as it remains unshared, benign and none of her business.) or she thinks he has been planning to try and molest her, this is absolutely about the existence of her father's having a sexual fantasy life which she is disgusted by.

43
To DAD, if you're simply creeped out that your father looked at the site, just assume he was looking at other porn and clicked on the link accidentally. That can happen. And if you're creeped out he was looking at porn at all, fuck you.
44
Oh my gosh! Any parent who has every watched one of the vintage (and now essentially mainstream) Taboo porn series NECESSARILY DESIRES TO HAVE SEX WITH THEIR CHILDREN!
This is breaking news, and I think everyone with an incest fantasy needs to be sterilized and forcibly separated from their children.

Hmm, I think Dan really REALLY likes writing "earlabia".
33: Better yet, the major browsers now all have a feature called "Private Browsing" or something similar: no cookies, no history, no temp files, no nothing. When you close the browser, all data concerning the private browsing session are wiped. Everyone: use this for porn browsing if you share a computer. That is exactly why it was added.

One thing that may be relevant in DAD's case: Do you have siblings? Are your siblings of another gender than you are?
If dad was watching dad-on-daughter porn, you're a son, and have a sister, well, I may begin to pay some extra attention to her relationship to dad, see if everything seems normal or if there's anything that seems off about it.
Same goes the other way around, if you're a daughter, has a brother, and he was watching dad-on-son porn, try to figure if anything seems wrong with your dad's relationship to his son(s).
Try to be supportive of your siblings, in case they need somebody to talk to. Don't mentioned what you found unless there's a pretext to mentioning it.
If this isn't relevant, Dan's advice is sound.

DAD getting all self-righteous about her father's incest porn--he might want to do that to her!--is like a straight homophobe believing that every gay man, by virtue of their being gay, wants to fuck him. It's arrogance mixed up with disgust, fear, and a huge amount of narcissism.
49
@42, Geez, have a heart for DAD. Your point about the centaur may be logical but it's not pertinent. (If the kid were a centaur, then it would be.) Her "eek" reaction is totally reasonable, even if she wasn't able to reason the whole issue out the rest of the way. That's why she wrote to Dan. (I hope she takes his advice.)
Once, I heard the shake of a rattle and I jumped sky-high. When I landed, I realized that I had subconsciously thought the rattle was a rattlesnake. Turns out it was only a musical instrument. My reaction hadn't been "correct" but it sure was reasonable!

Just a quick tutorial...to use InPrivate Browsing on your computer you can usually just click Control+Shift+P or use the Safety link on your toolbar. Anything you view there will not show up on your history. My husband and I (he way more than me) use it so that others on our computer can't see what we've been looking at.
51
I can understand how the advice-seeker would be squicked out by her dad's activities, but I hope she'll reflect on the situation after leaving home, and will decide to leave well enough alone, but not cut her dad out of her life.
If she doesn't want to learn about her father's personal life, though, and she can't stop herself from following up on weird things that pop up in the web browser, it's time to leave the nest for good, and find a different place to live when she returns to the States.
Yeah, the economy sucks, it's hard to get a job, blah blah blah, but where there's a will, there's a way--roommates, something to tide one over till a better job comes along, etc.
If you're going to live with your folks as an adult, you've got to afford them as much privacy as you would want them to give you. If you can't do that, it's time to get your own place. Even if the job and first apartment aren't very nice, the peace of mind and the experience of learning how to stand on your own two feet will be worth it. It's possible that the advice-seeker is doing just that by going overseas, of course, and if so, I applaud her for it.

@49: You say to Have a heart for DAD--but she isn't willing to try and ignore what she knows--from snooping on his computer--about his private sexual fantasies, which there's no evidence to suggest he has ever forced upon her in any way at all. No, she is deciding whether she should cut him out of her life forever, tell all the family and friends what he masturbates to, and write him off as a would-be sexual predator, who would rape his own daughter (I'm assuming that her fear is that he would want to have sex with her and since it clearly wouldn't be consensual . . .)
Shouldn't she have a heart for her father? Or at least develop some amnesia?

53
@52, you don't know what she's willing to try. Again, that's why she wrote to Dan. She's freaked out -- pardon her -- and now that she has gotten such good advice, I hope she follows it.
I think DAD has just as much right to be freaked out as anyone else has to have sexual fantasies. As long as her freakout remains private, as long as she doesn't act on it, why would you vilify her for it?

I get off on crucifixion porn with lots of slavery and rape. Does that mean I am likely to go out and kidnap one of my ex-girlfriends, enslave her, and then brutally snuff her over a period of weeks? Well, maybe that is a bad example because I really do fantasize about doing that.
However, there is no evidence DAD's dad is getting off on actual sex with his, you know, actual daughter. Most "incest" porn is really old guy/younger girl porn which is about as universal as it gets in the porn/kink world. DAD does not seem to appreciate that (most) incest porn on the web (just like most crucifixion/NC/Snuff) involves ACTORS and does not actually involve fathers banging their real daughters.
The previous posters are correct but I would take it even further: DAD is really put off by visualizing her father as a sexual being with actual needs and is using her "discovery" to fuck her dad in real life. Get over it, forget what you saw, and STOP SNOOPING. Oh, and how about get the hell out of the house already.
Stretched out earlobes are gross. If you want something inside to be licked, why not mutilate and stretch out your clit (for gay guys try the glans). A big fat hole there would increase the surface area with the added benefit that at least the rest of us don't have to look at it every day.
Finally, I have never heard of a 30 year old gay man who has only been in two relationships. He needs to find a gay-friendly therapist and unpack this non-consensual pack job that apparently led him into the gay world. I think Dan only included this letter because of the salacious and entirely irrelevant claim that his rapist became a 'born again Christian.'

55
I can totally understand why DAD would be freaked out, she should probably just try and forget she ever saw it if possible. I found straight porn on my gf's comp one time, and as far as I knew she was a lesbian so does that in turn mean she wants to fuck men?
56
Because, Drusilla, DAD isn't talking about keeping her freakout private. Re-read her letter. She's talking about outing her father to everyone she and he knows as an incest-loving perv, and her gut feeling is to never talk to him again. I don't know how *you* define a private freakout, but this isn't the same as hearing a rattle and jumping.
57
DAD, get over yourself. You don't know much about porn, do you? I watch straight and gay porn and I am sure I have tons of "incest" links in my history, because
(1) I know it's not real incest so if the actors are hot why shouldn't I watch it?
(2) Incest sites pop up when I click on something else or I click on a picture that looks hot but turns out to be a (make-believe) incest scene.
(3) I don't know your gender, but in case you are male, dad-son porn doesn't mean incest; the term just means mature and younger guys together.
So get off your high horse and be nice to your father.

"It's the thrill of violating a taboo, not a child."
DS way out of his league with this smug and ill-informed assertion. He writes, "But that's another column." Yes, and another columnist. Or not a columnist at all, but a psychiatrist with a lot of clinical experience.
DS rarely errs in this way -- failing to acknowledge his limitations. Always disappointing when he does.

Unless there is something in your actual relationship to make you feel bad, this isn't a catastrophe. Probably caught wind of My Stepdaddy Made Me #495.
True, it is kind of icky to find out TMI about the 'rents. However, I'm sure you have your kinks and will likely be a parent in the future. They only get better with time!! ;)
Anyhoo, I'd say get a job, but as you live with the rents, you're probably struggling. You do need to find $ to get your own computer/tablet then get a place of your own.
I also agree that you should drop a hint about the 20/20 episode that dealt with clearing your cache.
I can't even guess what someone would think of me if they got a hold of my internet history.

I'm starting to gauge my ears. They don't have to be huge.

in DAD, I think that the writer is actually the dad in the situation and is trying to find out if what he's doing is right or wrong. HE SIGNED IT DAD!
And now he's pretty much given the go ahead by Dan to continue. BAM!!!! THE WORLD IS FLIPPED BABY!! WEVE ALL BEEN DUPED!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no problem with a pic of Dan at the top of the column, but... WHERE'S MY JOE NEWTON ILLUSTRATION?! :(
62
22 isn't the same age for everybody. There are 22-year-olds who are very worldly and who've been around the block several times by then, and there are 22-year-olds who've been quite sheltered, who know very little about sexual fantasies and/or porn, even 22-year-olds who are still virgins.
Yes, all of us older folk know that incest porn is quite prevalent and that what a person likes in fantasy may have no relationship to what they like in reality. But all of this may be brand-new, unknown territory to a "young" 22-year-old.
I agree with Dan that the letter-writer needs NOT to out her father and needs to understand that her father can like incest porn without wanting to do anything incestuous in the real world. But geeze, give the kid the benefit of the doubt, okay? We're not born knowing this stuff; we have to learn it somewhere along the line. Today in Dan's column is when and where the letter writer is learning it. Before knowing the things that Dan has just taught her, I think it's natural for the letter-writer to be freaked out and to think that indulging in the fantasy indicates a wish to indulge in the reality.

To DAD regarding your letter and comments from everyone else,
Stick with Dan's advice and take the discovery at face value - your father is turned on by incest porn. This does not mean that he is turned on by you or would be interested in actual incest.
To everyone else who is accusing DAD of being out of line for her reaction (cutting off contact, spreading the word about her dad's kink), calm down and cut her some slack. Incest porn is the kind of thing no one talks about or imagines anyone liking. After all, real incest is freaking illegal and often warrants sex offender status. DAD isn't thinking of outing her dad just because he likes porn. She is freaking out because she is afraid her dad is only one step away from being a sex offender, potentially with HER as the victim. But again, unless this is one of many signs that her father actually fantasizes about her, she should just leave it as him having the unusual kink.
For me, the bottom line is that the creepy situation of finding your parent's porn stash was made worse by the nature of the kinks. Outing his kinks to everyone would be out of line, but when the kind of porn they like would warrant sex offender registry if done in real life, we need to cut her some slack for freaking out.

Corylea, you may be right, but it is hard to imagine a reader of Dan's column being the kind of naïf you are imagining.
65
her point about moving from house to house is that the incest site timestamps correspond to times WHEN SHE IS IN THE HOUSE. That is kind of creepy.
66
@65-great point. Somehow we all missed that. It is creepy-she just needs to stop staying with him.
Also the 30 yo guy really needs to get some therapy!

@63, I have to disagree with you. It is a mistake to take incest or any other links at face value. As I have pointed out before, the existence of incest links does not imply that the father is even into incest porn. I don't think it says anything about his kinks or lack of kinks.
On lots of sites, when you click on a thumbnail, they will instead pop up another site that has nothing to do with the thumbnail. Many porn sites do this. It is common to have to click several times and have a bunch of other sites (many of them kinky) come up before they will actually let you see the clip you want.
Also, I think most women misunderstand how most men view porn. We mostly don't give the tiniest shit about the story or the setting. Whether they pretend to be related or whatever else is immaterial to us. That is fast forward territory. We just want to see hot people having sex, and we don't care what stupid story they wrap it in. Since most women would pay attention to the story, it is an understandable misconception. Also, most men are curious about what other people do even if we are not into it. I probably have bestiality links in my browser, which I looked at just to see what goes where etc. - it certainly doesn't say anything about my kinks.
But even if he is into it, what of it? DAD is being narcissistic and projecting too much. My brother and I are both gay and both love to watch hot gay brothers porn, SEPARATELY IF YOU PLEASE - but the idea of doing it with each other is disgusting to both of us and is the absolute furthest thing from both our minds, believe me.

68
@65 and @66, I think you are wrong. The most likely explanation is that when she is away, he can have someone live over for sex. When she is there, he is limited to helping himself with porn, probably out of consideration for her.
69
@65 and @66, Actually no, she didn't say that he is not watching it when she is not in the house. She is just offended that her father dares to watch porn while she is there.
70
DAD, while I can fully understand why you might be squicked out by incest porn, you need to take a deep breath. Stop. Do NOT go running to mom or other friends about this.
Incest porn is super common, and very enjoyable by lots of older guys. It is a fantasy of many older guys to have sex with younger women. Most incest porn just capitalizes on this basic theme. We are all well aware of the fact that the actors in the porn are not actual fathers/daughters. It just adds a little taboo tease to the otherwise common older guy/younger woman meme.
You should NOT leap to the assumption that your dad actually wants to have actual sex with his actual children. At least, not based solely on the evidence of internet porn. If he's doing other creepy behaviors too, then that's a whole different story.
Incest porn is super common, and very enjoyable by lots of older guys. It is a fantasy of many older guys to have sex with younger women. Most incest porn just capitalizes on this basic theme. We are all well aware of the fact that the actors in the porn are not actual fathers/daughters. It just adds a little taboo tease to the otherwise common older guy/younger woman meme.

DAD reminds me of a funny story. When I was DAD's age, porn came on videotapes, and people had cassette shelves where they kept their tapes. I was visiting a friend's apartment, and while he was in the bathroom I started looking through his videos. Then, because I'm nosy, I looked at the other tapes on the bookcase shelf behind the videos. One was a series of vignettes in which straight men had gay sex under various levels of coercion (the photos included a man standing in front of his boss' desk and drill sergeant and a private). I had a similar reaction to DAD's. I asked him about it a couple weeks later, and he was embarassed, and assured me that it was just porn. Then he asked me why I didn't ask him about it at the time. I said, "Oh sure, then you'd say 'snooping is wrong. Now you have to make it up to me.'" He's teased me with that last line ever since.
72
DAD, please keep in mind that your father's fantasy might be to be the hypothetical daughter being seduced by the hypothetical dad. Regardless, base your relationship on how he treats you, not his fantasy life.
Also, stay off your father's computer.

This shows that fathers with older kids really need to be aware of their computer expertize. Some years ago, my wife found some videos I had downloaded and made me delete them so the kids don't ever find them. I thought I did. Years later, I swapped the hard drive for a larger capacity one and gave the old one to my son. He had special software that could find deleted files and threatened me about it. I told him mom already knows about the videos so go ahead and tell her. He went out of his way to find dirt on me and I still resent him for that.
74
Wen you are done with a hard drive, take that mucker out and scratch it with a nail real good. Bend it, break it if you can, pour acid on it.
75
@73: Need to arrange a little accident with Sonny-Boy's computer. "Gosh, so sorry I stumbled and knocked your computer off the desk, seventeen times, until the hard drive I gave you made grinding noise and a burned smell."
Then tell him that's the last gift he can expect to receive from you, ever.

Just wanted to chime in on item one, in case DAD looks at the comments.
1. I have a major incest fetish and read incest sex stories all the time.
2. The thought of actual incest with my dad really makes me ill.
3. Go figure.
4. Let it go and stop snooping on Dad's computer.

DAD - always trust your gut feelings, always. If you don't feel safe by your father, by all means move out, ASAP.
But - don't out him, if there's nothing more icky than him viewing porn while you're in the house. It's his life, his ways, nothing to see there. And don't cut all ties to him. You'll be pretty busy soon, you'll have time to reflect on things. Meeting him from times to times, in safe places, will let you check whether really he's considering you as a prey or not, while staying safe.
Hopefully he's really a decent guy and you'll end up realizing that everything is OK, and he won't think of it as anything else than an urge to leave the nest that was just a phase in your life.
But if you were to subsequently discover that he's really contemplating incest (because he tries to hold you too tight, compliments you too much on your body, looks aroused when he meets you, insists on meeting you in places without witnesses, gives you expensive gifts that you have to come and fetch alone at his place, etc.) then it will be time to out him as suspicious to your close circle - and to sever the ties.

@73 what did he want, in exchange for his silence? (The incest-porn-loving part of me hopes he wanted a blow job from you; the empathizing parent in me hopes to god not.)

Letter #1 - without having read any responses - once, many years ago, I found a sexbook (you know, an actual BOOK, all text, no pictures) all about incest in my dad's room. It deeply, deeply, creeped me out, but due to our circumstances at the time (poor as shit, one step off the streets in a communal situation) it was reasonable to assume that this was just a lucky piece of porn he had come across somewhere without having to pay for. At least, that's the story I told myself to keep my sanity, since as a fourteen year old I had nowhere else to go. I chose to imagine that he was as creeped out by the incest part of it as I was, and just changed all the pronouns in his head as he read it.
Realizing now, twenty years later, this is probably not the case. But since my Dad NEVER actually DID anything even slightly creepy towards me, I can let it go. What the hell, I have weird and creepy fantasies, too, and I know I would be horrified if any of them became reality (actual alien abduction, not as sexy as fantasy alien abduction).
Try to put it out of your head.

@65, restating her letter your way definitely increases the panic level.
If the only times the father watches corresponds to her visits then maybe she should limit her visits to when she isn't alone with him. Having been stalked by my uncle, I wouldn't tempt fate otherwise, especially if the father drinks to excess.
Peace.

@79 "not as sexy as fantasy alien abduction"
Ain't that the truth!
@80- but, as cockyballsup says @68, maybe he looks at porn when his kid is there because that's when his girlfriend isn't there. In the absence of dad actually acting inappropriately toward DAD, I say there's no need to panic about porn.

@73 mrivera,
I would randomly turn off the power to his room and lock the breaker box, if your wife consented. I would also consider taking him to therapy because his actions require a huge amount of pent up hostility. In the mean time use a secure filesystem, separate users, and the secure erase feature that should be a part of every modern OS. You should also check for trojans or applications that could spy on your computer use, and then lock out your computer with a password every time you physically leave the computer. A physically isolated and locked situation might be a good idea as well. You might also wish to consider locking down your credit cards when they aren't on you as well.
Good luck.

Re: the 15 year old boy in the podcast ... he & his girlfriend just lost their virginity to each other, have done it several times since & it's still painful for her.
You missed something very obvious:
*How long have they waited after the first time they had sex to repeat?*
The wound/cut/abrasion created by breakage of the hymen can take a few days to heal completely - just like any other wound/cut/abrasion.
If they're going at it every day like horny 15 year olds, she may be reinjuring her already-broken hymen each time they have sex.
They should just take a week off and see what happens before worrying about anything else.

There are a lot of videos on sites like pornotube, etc. with titles like "father has sex with daughter".
But you have to wonder how much a guy even cares about that story at all. In the videos it is an older guy having sex with a young woman. If she is sexy, a guy will watch that in spite of the title and in spite of the plot. I mean, most guys that watch porn skip the story and go right for the sex.
Could be that the dad just likes watching old dudes (like him) fucking younger women.
Frankly I've watched those videos myself not because I have any fantasies about incest at all, but because if there is a hot girl in the video, I will watch it, skipping the beginning.

Yes, yes YES to the answer to DAD. I love sibling incest in fiction, but I have zero interest in my real-life siblings. Blech.
88
Even if this girl's DAD is not interested in really fucking her... that doesn't mean he's masturbating to some generic idea of incest and "taboo-breaking".
What if her DAD is masturbating while thinking of her specifically? Visualizing her face, her body, etc? Watching his incest porn and masturbating while she's staying there because it's hot for him?
I'll answer - then that would be gross and not cool and she has every right to ask him and decide what she thinks is going on and if she wants to exile him or not.

You know some of the current Malware adds fake browser history to porn sites so you may see it and click to figure out what it is. so he could be totally innocent.
90
@88: Actually, no she doesn't. That would be demanding access to the inside of his skull. Talk about violating appropriate boundaries! Is there nowhere that is considered one's own private space?
For that matter, what good will it do? What can he possibly say about what goes on inside his own head that she will believe? None of it is verifiable in any way. How can she be sure, absolutely sure, that he isn't secretly fantasizing about her, even after he denies it?
There is a very good chance that all he was doing was looking at some random porn, and didn't give a shit about the supposed plot of the film. Unless there was some actual outward inappropriate behavior, she needs to give him the benefit of the doubt. (Problem is, chances are extremely good that starting today she will start interpreting everything he says and does in the worst possible light.)
For her to go charging in and demanding an explanation of exactly what he was thinking and feeling while watching it would be orders of magnitude more awkward.
If she absolutely can't let this go, and just has to go interrogate him -- I have a very strong suspicion she won't, and will -- she can do that, but he will be perfectly within his own rights to be pissed at her invasion of privacy and her overreaction, to tell her that children are not supposed to involve themselves in their parents' sex lives, to back the fuck off, and to stay the hell off his computer if she can't act like a grownup.
Either that or he should password protect his account (he should have done that in the first place), and give her an account of her own. Probably better install parental controls on it, though.

I can understand DAD being extremely grossed out and disturbed by finding the incest porn, but contemplating estrangement from her father seems like a totally melodramatic overreaction. DAD, your father's a human being who happens to have some fucked up porn preferences. Assuming he's been a decent parent, you'd have to be a pretty shitty daughter to sever ties with him over something like this.
92
@84: I haven't seen that podcast and I'm dealing with a similar issue. I can't watch podcasts... what did Dan say about it?
@88: I suspect a lot of parents probably do masturbate about their kids: so what? As long as they don't tell their kids or abuse them, and it's all in their head, what's wrong with that?
A more interesting question is whether and under what circumstances it's ok to ask your adult kid/parent/relative for sex. Theoretically, an adult asking another adult if they're interested should be ok, but it's complicated when it's family.

When it isn't there?
Do you have psychic abilities that myself and Dan lack? He was the one who acknowledged in the first place that it was a possibility.
He said: I'm operating under an assumption: again, that your father has never done anything that made you feel unsafe. If your discovery had led you to connect a bunch of deeply creepy dots, DAD, that's surely something you would've mentioned in your letter.
An assumption. Not a certainty. I personally think the basis for the assumption "you would have explicitly said it" isn't the best one.
Maybe her feelings of disgust were valid. I'm willing to admit they weren't, but I don't understand the eagerness to dismiss that they could have been.
I'm also curious as to where you get "ridiculously common" from. I think you tend to think that certain things are more common than they actually are based on your personal experience.
But if you have any sort of stat I'd love to hear it for sure.

The conclusion of this life story is the real point and unfortunately the outcome was a troubled teenager who could see no other outcome than the ending of his life. My heart aches for him and his famly who will live the rest of their lives evaluating what could have been done differently that might have changed the tortured stuggle by a young male seeking a normal life and acceptance by others. I am saddened by the outcome and outraged by those who influenced him to take his life. May they live many years, more than most, agonizing over what they have done to a solitary human being seeking love and acceptance. Is this not what each of us desire every day? In memory of a brave young man we will miss and hopefully not forget as our busy lives take us on to the next topic of the day. May you find solice, peace and happiness James....finally sheltered in the arms of a loving and accepting god...
96
@93: Sure, it's possible that the father did abuse DAD or do something to make him/her feel unsafe. It's hard to understand why someone writing in asking if he/she should end the relationship wouldn't mention that, but it's possible. When I said "it isn't there" I meant that there's nothing in the letter to indicate that, not that it wasn't a theoretical possibility.
Based on what we know (DAD saw incest porn in the father's browser history) DAD's feelings of disgust were not valid. We have to go based on what we know, and the question asked about the reaction to the porn, not other things.
I think incest is a common fantasy based on what shows up in, for instance, erotic stories: check out asstr or storiesonline and look at how many stories have the incest code. Given the taboo nature of the kink, I doubt there exist accurate statistics on what percentage of people have a kink for incest fantasies or stories, though I'd love to see some. It's a pretty standard kink though, and shows up on lists of turn-ons. Do you think it's very rare?
@94: Again, hard to know for sure, but people often find youth attractive, the taboo nature of it makes it appealing, and people's kids are around them a lot. When kids start going through puberty, suddenly parents realize they're sexual beings in their own right and they have to deal with that. They see their kids in a new way, so it doesn't seem surprising that a lot of parents would think about their kids being sexual and get turned on.

Wrong answer from Dan and all the children on here who just wanna be free.
When you have a kid, job #1, before pleasuring yourself, is to protect the kid. If the kid is in your home, and there's even the remotest chance the kid will find you perving on incest porn, DON'T LOOK AT INCEST PORN AT HOME. Because the kid's mental health and relationship with you are both more important than your desire to jack off to Daddy's Little Princess.
As for what the girl should do? Take a vacay from a dad who's irresponsible and selfish enough to look at that shit while she's in the house. Maybe now she's got some insight, though, into why her parents are divorced. Not the kink: the selfishness and irresponsibility.
I'm seriously disliking Dan as a spouse and parent. Guy more or less bullies his boyfriend into accepting an open relationship, and then puts kink ahead of a kid's wellbeing. I think he's a selfish twat, really.

@96 I think you are probably right that many parents get some kind of sexual charge from seeing their teenagers develop. As the parent of a daughter going through puberty, it's hard to keep my mind totally pure every second of the day. I don't masturbate to thoughts of her, but fleeting sexual thoughts do traverse my brain, regardless of my best intentions.
I don't talk about it (let alone act on it), just like I didn't talk about the pleasure that came with nursing my babies, and how that sometimes felt sexual. But I like how Slog can be a place to acknowledge that sex is often on our minds, and sexual thoughts do seep into aspects of life where society says they don't belong (the classroom, the workplace, parent/child relationships).

The "kid" is 22 fuckin years old. She is NOT a child and odds are, she probably does a whole lot of things that are in those videos.
This is WAY different from him using the computer in the rec room that an 8 year old uses to do his homework.
She's 22 and a temporary visitor while she prepares to move away.

I continually have dreams in which I am having sex with my brother. They are dreams. I can't control them, they just happen. The thing is, in the dreams, the "brother" I'm having sex with isn't ever my real life brother. It's a made up brother. And in the dream there is always this incredible titillation that we are doing something bad and that we might get caught but our desire for one another is so strong that we just can't control ourselves. I guess one would call these incest fantasies. But in real life, I have absolutely NO desire to have sex with my brother.
102
Well, I could easily be the "major asshole" that NEN, the second letter writter is talking about. I briefly dated a 30-year-old who had very minimal experience with men. As far as the stretched earlobes, that was never discussed. But I do know that he had fooled around with a guy way back in high school or something and that guy was now married with kids, but he never shared anything with me about being raped. So, I could easily not be the "major asshole" as well, but I'm sure the guy I was dating thinks I am. That's because even though I really liked him, I got tired of him being closted and not willing to talk about it and then the fact that it felt like the relationship had to be 100 percent on his terms.
So, I told him I couldn't do it anymore and I told him why, I also told him that he needed to stop being so afraid of what everyone else would think about him, as far as being out, including family and friends, that his family would still love him and any friends worth anything would still want to be friends. But, I never got a response from him, after calls and emails. I hope NEN gets some counseling from a good fair professional, and I also hope the same for the guy I dated, because if he got his shit together, I would love to give it another try.

I'm not interested in cleaning my browser's porn history. If someone who lives under the same roof I live -those christian hating fundamentalists- and they don't like what they could see, why are they looking into my always signed-in PC with my always signed-in porn and non-porn sites accounts? Its like those time they -my not so bad though christian hating fundamentalists folks/parents/whatever- asked me questions about my sexuality -or my political ideology- and they didn't like what they heard. Why ask then?

@103 & 104, You're a creep. Go plug your blog somewhere else.
@105 I've experienced the same. Usually it's because they want to 'correct' or 'fix' you/your outlook. The generic ending to idealogical/moral arguements with my grandmother: "Oh, trust me. Someday you'll be older and see that I knew what I was talking about. Then you'll change."
Que internal screaming.

DAD, [Whatever your gender]
I wonder about your stumbling into his browser history. Maybe you don't want to tell SavageLand you were snooping.
Too often children take sides in their parents' divorce wars. Is that the case here?
You want to rat out your father? For what might be his porn habits? He's your papa, cut him some slack.
If he tries to molest you, deal with that, not what he watches. You're an adult and have power.
You say your gut is telling you something. But you're giving us nothing but porn.
"Should I ... pack up, jump in a cab, and never talk to him again?"
Yes, because (chances are) you don't deserve a father.

You want to rat out your father? For what might be his porn habits? He's your papa, cut him some slack.
If he tries to molest you, deal with that, not what he watches. You're an adult and have power.
You say your gut is telling you something. But you're giving us nothing but porn.
"Should I ... pack up, jump in a cab, and never talk to him again?"
Yes, because (chances are) you don't deserve a father.

For gods sake, reading something does not make one want to do it. It is just a read. DAD likely watches films with killing and mayhem. That does not make him a murderer. Learn some boundaries friend. First of all, you are likely most troubled by learning that DAD has a sex life and fantasies independent of that particular time he spawned you. Your letter saddens me because you are so off base. Dan gave you too much benefit of the doubt by even raising the question of dads behavior towards you in the past. He is innocent my friend and you are the guilty one - of ignorance about the ubiquity and variety of porn and willingness of guys to read and be curious about all sorts of it, ignorance about the concept that thoughts and interest do not equate with desire or intent, and a level of harsh judgment that belongs self directed, not at dad.
113
I'm not loving some of the more vitriolic responses to DAD. (Hunter78, I'm lookin' at you.) Yes, she's creeped out, but I think that most people her age, in her situation, would be. Even Dan admits that DAD's dad's (apparent) kink is "deeply fucking creepy." Personally, if I discovered my father had a secret yen for daddy/daughter porn, I'd be throwing a one-woman angst-o-palooza. Yeah, I'd probably get over it -- but I'd also probably end up trusting my father just a little bit less. (Admittedly, my relationship with my father is cordial but not overly close, and has gone through some major rough patches, which is likely coloring my reaction to DAD's letter.)
A lot of readers seem eager to give DAD's dad the benefit of the doubt. Fair enough, but why not give DAD the benefit of the doubt as well? There's no reason to assume she set out to snoop; perhaps she checked the browser history to revisit a site whose name she couldn't remember. Or perhaps the culprit was the browser's auto-suggest function: she started searching for, say, "daughters of the American revolution" or "daughter cell," and instead got a list of suggestions like "daughter sucks daddy's hard cock" and "daughter daddy incest story." (DAD's own description of what happened -- "the history came up on the search engine" -- makes it sound like this might be the case.)
Granted, this is not to say that DAD was necessarily an innocent victim of happenstance. She may have been deliberately peeping at digital keyholes, in which case she has nobody but herself to blame that she didn't like what she saw. But regardless of whether she was snooping or just unlucky, I think it's a bit much to ask her to immediately be at peace with the possibility that her father might have a hard-on for daughter figures in general and/or her in particular.
Yeah, I understand that the content of one's browser history does not equal the content of one's character; I sure as hell wouldn't want to be judged by my tastes in porn. And not having seen the actual browser history in question, it's difficult to judge just how much DAD is overreacting. If DAD's dad looked at a wide variety of porn sites, only a few of which were incest-themed, then he was probably doing some indiscriminate porn-surfing and happened to like the looks of the actors, as some commenters have suggested. If, on the other hand, he was looking at (or reading) oodles of incest-themed porn and nothing but . . . well, that suggests he's got a bona fide incest kink.
Yes, it's entirely possible to fantasize about, or even roleplay, sex acts that one would never want to actually engage in. Like most people, I have a few fantasies that will never see the light of reality -- because as much as I get off on breaking the applicable taboos in my head, I cringe at the thought of breaking them in the real world. But even if our fantasies don't neatly predict our actual sexual behavior, neither are they totally divorced from it. Or, in other words, there's a very good chance that a father who reads incest porn doesn't actually want to bone his daughter -- but, let's face it, the odds that he does want to bone his daughter are probably better than average.

Savage, AKA Daniel Keenan, is a pervert with a very disturbed mind. He's a danger to himself and those around him because he's arrogant yet he has an inferiority complex.

IF NOTHING ELSE,
we should have learned to have password protection on our porn sources if there is any possibility of anyone we don't want to know about said porn gaining access. Providing a fully sanitized guest computer, given how cheap computers have become/what do you do with the old computer, is a very good idea. If you're visiting DON'T GO LOOKING FOR TROUBLE (see if you can log into/create another user with minimal privileges aside from the main user account).
Keep in mind, not everyone is GGG. OTOH, if someone picks your locks, they shouldn't be surprised that may not like what they find. I have serious issues with incest fantasy because I encountered the real thing, but then someone else's fatasy life really isn't any of my business.
Peace.

@116: I doubt it. The odds that he wants to bone a girl the age of his daughter (or son) are probably better than average, but I doubt it's his daughter (or son) he's interested in.
S/he mentions watching porn, not reading it, so he's actually looking at hot young girls (or guys) that aren't her*. Plus, she said his porn history includes incest fantasies. It probably also includes teacher-student and father-babysitter stuff.
@48 & @67 both mentioned narcissism on DAD'S part, and I'd totally agree. The unconscious narcissism of youth rather than a more malignant form, but still fundamentally narcissistic.
*Assume that I keep making this gender neutral for the rest of this post. I'm feeling lazy.

113-- I agree. If a man or woman can enjoy a certain sort of porn while simultaneously not wanting to act on the fantasy, why can't DAD be seriously creeped out while simultaneously not taking her father's fantasy seriously? Why can't s/he feel like never talking to her father again and at the same time write to Dan, get some perspective, and decide that her gut reaction really isn't sensible in the long run? I understand DAD's letter. I don't understand the majority response here which is to pile on him/her for writing it.
This is why we're lucky to have Dan. He helps us think these things through. It's not unusual to have a strong negative gut response to thinking about any number of sexual acts that we ourselves personally don't find appealing. With a little luck, we have someone to help us think it through and realize that we can be disgusted without having to beat up the person whose tastes are different. (Or kill, or deny a job to, or keep our children away from, or throw out of the military, or bully in school.)

Agree to disagree.
Though "I want to bang men/women the age of my daughter/son" is more likely than "I want to bang my daughter/son". That doesn't change the poster's original point, which I 100% agree with.
Ya'll are quick to defend him, and not her.
I think she deserves just as much benefit-of-the-doubt as he does, esp as a potential victim.

I don't know... but at 22 years old, if I ever saw porn on my father's computer depicting or suggesting incest fantasies I would be upset. Wouldn't matter how much porn I watch or how much porn I accept other people watch. DAD's reaction, in my opinion, is understandable. And, if any of you stake claim that at that age (or any age) you would not be taken aback by finding this on your parent's computer then I call all your bluffs, I don't care how indifferent you state you are.
What if the depictions were of an older man seducing a young boy. Or any other depictions that cross the threshold from what is merely fantasy and what may be cause for concern. It's all objective, but there should still be awareness. I would certainly hope that if you came across suggestions of sexual exploitation of concern that you would not be so apathetic to pass it off as someone's mere fantasy - just because maybe you have decided that you can distinguish the difference. Projection, in this case, has the potential to be very dangerous.
Also, DAD never mentioned that s/he felt threatened by his/her father with regard to whether he would feel compelled to actually act out these depictions so I think labelling him/her as a narcissist is a little presumptuous and pretentious.
Perhaps it is just the discomfort of being around his/her father knowing a very personal part of him that as a daughter/son you would feel very uncomfortable knowing.
I know for myself I came across a home-made porn between my father and his then girl friend when I thought I was popping a VHS of ET into my VCR. It took me a long time to be able to look at my father the same again which had nothing to do with me being a prude. It was just shocking and there really isn't much more to it than that, imo.

It's true that there are a HUGE number of incest-porn-watching freaks out here... I happen to be one of them! And Dan hit the nail on the head... It is the taboo-and-power-dynamic that is the fetish... And in NO WAY do I (or most other) incest fantasizers wish to jump the gap from fun freaky fantasy to real-life nastiness!
125
@117
I would be surprised if viewing incest porn was NOT correlated with actual incest desire. Remeber, this does not establish a causal relationship between the two; however, in the grand statistical scheme of things, finding the first factor does increase the probability of finding the second.
This is what @113 meant by "better than average." Yes, it is still very unlikely that her father actually wants to engage in incest. Yet his odds are better (worse?) than a random sample.
Don't know any population stats about this sort of thing, so I can't comment on whether or not she should actually be worried.

@118: I don't see those two as equivalent. I didn't get the impression that the Letter Writer was merely fantasizing about severing all ties with her father while she came to terms with her discomfort. There's a difference between being squicked but not taking it all that seriously in the first place, versus writing in with an apparent plan to detonate an important relationship and getting talked down from the ledge.
That said, I agree that the average 22-year-old is comparatively young and naive to be expected to handle a revelation like that with logic and equanimity. (Don't tell them I said that; implying they are less than fully mature will piss them off all over again.) Good thing there are people around to look at the situation in a little more depth and talk some sense into them when it does happen.

@121 Sure people would be grossed out, but why anyone would even consider destroying someone else's social life over porn that involves consenting adults is beyond me.
"I would certainly hope that if you came across suggestions of sexual exploitation of concern that you would not be so apathetic to pass it off as someone's mere fantasy - just because maybe you have decided that you can distinguish the difference."
Now you're pretty much putting incest porn on par with something like child pornography while simutanously trying to guilt trip us. Nice.

"Earlabia" is funny. Dan's good with words and acronyms. If you're disturbed by a made-up up a word that has a bit of an erotic flavor, you are reading the wrong blog. Read something else and don't whine.
As for "Disturbed And Distressed" - politely ignore it the way you would an old lady's fart.
Personal computers are PERSONAL and people who are not accustomed to having a guest user and aren't very savvy about computers are gonna leave stuff available to snooping eyes. Get your own computer, use one at the public library if you aren't mature enough to be a polite computer guest or tell your dad that for his privacy and yours, you'd like for him to have a password protected user account and to give you a password protected user account because you don't want him to be embarrassed if you leave something embarrassing in your own search history on his computer.
Unless you've had uncomfortable incest-vibe from your dad, I would bet your dad is not thinking of you at all when he's watching incest-fantasy porn.

131
In my early teens my parents came across a kinky story I wrote. My dad sat me down to give me a 'talking-to.' I don't remember what he said, because as soon as he told me what had happened, my brain exploded. I don't see how any catharsis can come from DAD venting to her father - it'll just give him a horrible memory.
132
your advice is somewhat stupid and you always go off on things not relating to what person has asked you, I just read your column when taking a dump.stick to answering the questions, using some brains and not going off on stupid shit, how did u get that job, anyone could do it.
133
I'm a big (gay) consumer of incest porn. I felt guilty and disgusted by my fetish for a long time, but therapy made me realize that incest porn is incredibly common, and that the fantasy, for me, anyway, is about power issues with my estranged father. I don't actually want to fuck my dad - I can't even visualize it without getting queasy. When reading my stories (on nifty.org), i'm visualizing characters that fit into the tales unfolding. Never an actual parent, brother, sister or cousin in the mix. I think for me it fills some fantasy about being wanted by the father that rejected me upon learning I was gay. I prefer very specific scenarios. Sometimes I'm the high school junior whos'caught wanking by his totally hot dad; other times i'm a twent-something father of a six year old who needs a bath.
134
Ugh, my comment got cut off and the ending sounded really creepy. The final sentence was: No matter what the scenario, it's strictly fantasy. Period.
136
I like reading True Crime stories. Does that mean I want to become a serial killer? I can't stand snoops, DAD. Checking the history on a computer that is not yours is snooping. I doubt it just 'came up' as you put it. If you do tell your friends and family that you were snooping on your father's computer, and have decided to sever your relationship and 'out' him based on that, I think you will be the one who comes off as the creep. Go to your new job in another country, and hope that you grow up while you are there.
137
I think Dan's advice to DAD is right on the money, but I also think that the point needs to be made that he might not even be into incest or older guy/younger woman fantasies at all. I wouldn't have thought of this, but I read this letter with my boyfriend and he told me that he sometimes watches incest porn because the girls look more "normal." Maybe DAD's dad just doesn't like the usual porn star look and incest porn is a good way to see "normal"-looking girls.

@39 - i can relate to what you're saying...i sometimes look up erotic stories on anal sex and (depending on the story plot) find it stimulating but in reality grosses and freaks me out...so much so that when an ex-bf played with my butthole i totally lost the mood...so there you are...just bec someone views it doesn't mean IRL they'll do it...
i agree with the other commenters who said someone else could've used your dad's comp and looked up the incest porn OR even that he just was turned on the actress playing...
dan's right...unless there some other instances where you felt disturbed by your father;s behavior towards you, just let sleeping dogs lie and have fun on your new job

Fantasy is just that...and it's supposed to be good for you and your sexual self. Unless your father is tempting toddlers with lollipops into the basement..he is just exercising his right to fantasy regardless of whether you like them or not. I'm guessing you might have a few oddities others may find icky. To each their own and get over it!
