I discovered gay porn on my son’s laptop

You overreached with making him captain of the football team.

I would buy him two tickets to Oh Mary on Broadway and see what happens!

R1 what do you mean. I didn’t pressure him into taking a leadership role. He has always kinda been a natural born leader. I did have reservations because he is in all AP classes and also President of the debate team.

Stop snooping and write your damned paper. This is a very low rent scenario. "Politics and Psychology class"? Best Buy? Do better.

R4 I’m actually having chatgpt write it. I just needed access to a computer. I know guilty as charged- but I had a hectic week and inserted my own ideas. Plus my youngest son has been misbehaving a lot. And I generally feeling under the weather.

Didn't we have a similar thead last year with the mom bringing her son to a drag show or he wrote a novel that she was asking what to wear at the book signing?

4/10

Stay off your son's computer. Gay porn is easily accessible and may be a curiousity for young men. Gay porn performers usually have body types that all young men aspire to have. A 17 year old could be aroused by any iteration of human sexual interaction. If this is a real scenario, you should wait for a conspicuous sign as opposed to one you found while invading his privacy.

You received a 4/10 because you referred to Datalounge as "wonderful."

Do we have a Sunday EST troll?

I stopped reading at “mama bear”.

Billie Eilish fan 🤮

If this is for real....

Please let your son figure it out on his own.

Ignore what you saw. Keep your mouth shut.

R7 This is certainly real. I would not make something like this up. My son and I share everything with each other. Well not everything but you know what I mean. He even shared with me when he lost his virginity at 14. It’s a bit unusual but we have always a special bond. This porn was rather explicit. I never in million years fathomed he could be gay. I could believe my bratty younger son could be gay before Conner. I think you may be right and that he is experimenting out of some curiosity. Or likely the gay friend has no shame in using someone else’s computer to get off.

You know you're lying, OP. DL knows you're lying, too.

Fuck off and stop embarrassing yourself. Making shit up is for kids.

R14 Fuck you and blocked.

The boys just got home. I am going to confront him about this. Laptops aren’t diaries. I had a few glasses of wine and need to get this off my chest. Plus my son is super confident and secure, he won’t feel embarrassed. He will just joke and tease me about it for years if he isn’t actually gay.

Let us know when you discover your son IN gay porn.

R16 - assuming that this is not complete BS … confront him about WHAT? Its his life, and his curiosities. Do not go anywhere near this unless you see that he is doing something criminal.

Help my kids are doing sex

Are we really wading into the close mama bear-son relationship in the no-father-present trope?

Oh honey, of course he's gay. Young straight men do not look at gay porn for body inspiration, they look at Instagram (and all of the "straight" dudes who post there). Young gay men who "borrow" their friend's laptop don't leave the porn open in a tab for the "straight" friend — or his mother — to find. And hyper-achieving "straight" boys don't have a gay bestie over for "sleepovers." I'll leave the revelation of his virginity loss aside for others to ponder, but I'll point out that he has "The Best Boy In The World" syndrome in spades.

Don't worry, mama bear. He'll be fine. I wouldn't go head-on confrontation, just give him some time and drop some hints. Believe me, he'll pick up on them pretty quickly and you won't have to wait long for your answer.

Still unsure if it's true, but it seems to me like women get really freaked out by men doing anything with porn. I wish they realized that it's one of the best forms of harm reduction there is.

Mama Bear, will you return and post your hot football jock son's Only Fans and Dick Pics when he's 18 and a freshman in college? Just break into his laptop again. The dick and hole pics will be on his cell phone, as well. Thanks, doll!

OP, we all know that you divorced your husband because you got tired of dick and desperately want to jump in the lady pond.

Stop projecting on your sons and go live your life to the fullest!

Let it be. Maybe he's gay. Or maybe he's straight and he watched gay porn out of morbid curiosity, or he was wondering if it was for him and realized that it's not. Regardless, there is nothing to change and nothing to fix. You can't come out to others until you're out to yourself, so maybe he's not "there" yet. Just be a supportive mom signaling you'll accept him unconditionally. Cut out homophobic friends. Find a gay friend.

Also, my friend is a teacher, and he says he can spot ChatGPT from a mile away.

You lost me at “mama bear.”

Recycled EST.

If you're legit, OP, ask yourself this question: How different would your reaction be if you found straight porn on his computer? Why is gay porn different? What's happening here, is his interest in same-sex porn is challenging your own thoughts about sexuality. Perhaps it's not what you expected, but there it is. Accept it and move on. There is no reason to confront a seventeen-year-old about watching porn.

Day drinking again, dear?

R27 I understand what you are saying but can I be honest. I have a lot invested in my oldest son. I know I need to get my own life but it is what it is. I am still pretty but I am almost fat now. I am not going to find a man that is successful to my standards at my age. I don’t even crave sex anymore. My oldest is just the perfect child and he is going to be extremely successful. I have a certain idealistic picture of him. He is a bit more liberal than I care for, but imagine you picturing your child one way and all that is shattered in an instance. I decided not to confront him about it quite yet…at least until I have sobered up.

Tell it to your cats OP. We don't have time for your shit.

Assuming your son is the age of consent in your state, ask the uncle to try to be closer with him, if you know what I mean. Then, come back to DL with full details in Chapter 2.

[quote] His uncle, my ex husband’s youngest brother, is also gay.

Stealth Unclebottom / Nephew Troll thread

R26 That’s not me.

If there's no puny cocklet being humiliated, then this is tepid tea and a weak EST and I forbid it to exist on the DL one second longer!

Can you ask that nice single gentleman neighbor to befriend your son? He has power at Cornell and get jocks admitted even if they aren't fully Ivy League calibre. Your gay son will have to put out a few times but he'll be a golden boy football star and Ivy League graduate and will lift your entire family out of your current, trash existence. His teammates won't care if he's a cocksucker. The East coast liberal elite know how to behave, nowadays.

Do nothing. All normal.

You know on some level that his purpose is not to be like a surrogate spouse without the sex, nor is he there to fill the voids in your life. Regardless, being gay wouldn't make him any less perfect!

Possibly the most complimentary EST ever posted.

Do you have a gay brother?

Does your son like anal?

[quote] I had a few glasses of wine and need to get this off my chest.

FRAU KAREN ALERT!!!!

Whatever you learn just don't blame it on a random Black guy!!!

Omg the nephew troll lives!

[quote] Oh honey, of course he's gay. Young straight men do not look at gay porn for body inspiration, they look at Instagram (and all of the "straight" dudes who post there).

No. Old gay guys troll Instagram for "inspiration" and to fuel rape fantasies. Young straight men do not look at male Instaho profiles. Nice try, though.

We'll need to know what type of gay porn was he watching? Does he have a favorite studio or performer(s).

Oh honey your head would explode off of your BODY if you ever opened my laptop. I pity the fool who logs into this thing after I die.

So good news and bad news. He isn’t gay. And I love the gays but he just isn’t one. But he completely flipped out on me. Like completely. Said that my neediness was becoming unbearable and that he only he allowed it to continue because he felt sorry for me after the divorce. He said it was a complete invasion of privacy, that he isn’t gay, and that he won’t explain to me how the gay content ended up on there. He even called me the B word and he said he wants to move to dads for the remainder of his senior year, which will NOT be happening. I told him go to his room and calm down before I tell him his girlfriend he has been cheating on her with a boy. No one disrespects me in my own home. Anyways, after honing my Olivia Benson skills, I think I may have discovered the culprit. Apparently when the boys were at their dad’s house last weekend Uncle Tony came over. We live in Ft Lauderdale. Dad had a cookout and per typical, Tony got drunk and spent the night. No, Tony would never be inappropriate with my kids but he would be dumb enough to surf porn on their laptop. My youngest told me that Tony used my oldest’s laptop to google some new exciting spinach artichoke recipe that he prepared for the party. And later that evening, he saw Tony on the MacBook playing cards on club pogo. Now all I have to do is get my oldest to forgive me which I’m sure he will as he always does, and all will be right in the universe. Thanks guys.

[quote]some new exciting spinach artichoke recipe that he prepared for the party.

One day you bitches will learn how to tell when you're being trolled.

This EST is so terrible and basic.

It's the Temu of ESTs.

R46 what do you mean? That my own son is trolling me because he is having a secret affair with his gay bestie? It’s not like he’s doesn’t know I use his laptop once in a blue moon, especially when I go to clean their rooms.

Stealth nephew thread.

Im not trolling. What does EST mean?

OP is clearly off her meds!

College should be alerted to your use of “anyways.”

There's a lot to be angry at OP for. But not sharing the link to Uncle Tony's new exciting spinach artichoke recipe is at the top of the list

Are you cradling your mug whilst you type these posts, OP?

Good times.

This the porn clip I came across. My son left the house so I snuck back on the computer. It’s so explicit but it is what it is. That damn crazy Tony. I just know it was him. I think…. He should really be more responsible.

You lost your credibility at “a few glasses of wine”. Sure a good time to screw around with your kid. I give you a 2/10.

Do what I did. Become his Accountabilabuddy. Install software on his laptop so that you get alerts when he goes to porn sites, and he'll gets alerts when you go to porn sites on your laptop. It's very normal, and all the coolest parents are doing it.

Snoop away, Alleged Mom.

He's been wearing your panties for years.

OP, you lost me at “mama bear.”

Is your son named Mark, Rick, or Steve? How does he feel about track lightin’?

He has a gay friend that comes over and spends the night? Oh honey they’re definitely fucking.

I had already decided this was an EST, but posting the Pornhub link confirmed it beyond the shadow of a doubt.

That said, if a real mother were to do all this she we be incredibly unfit and in need of psychological help. At 17, the son would be perfectly -and legally- capable of deciding which parent he wants to live with. For your future creative writing efforts, I submit the following:

1. If a straight teen was watching gay porn out of simple curiosity, he would carefully close the tabs afterword, and probably clear his browser history. He wouldn't leave them there to be discovered by anyone.

2. A seventeen-year-old would change his password periodically (school usually require them to be changed every six months, so kids learn to do it even on their personal devices). He would also likely create a guest account for mom, uncle, and anyone else to use, rather than letting them use his personal account. Again, this is something common in schools and teenagers are very protective of their privacy.

3. Never write yourself as a Karen, OP. Threatening to tell his girlfriend that your son is cheating on her with guys? Douche move in the extreme. As the narrator, you want your readers' sympathy, and being a cunt isn't how you do it.

4. Teachers can usually spot all AI writing, and most have access to professional tools that will quickly identify it. Bringing the whole ChatGPT thing just detracts from your credibility. Announcing you cheat and lie -along with invading people's privacy -is just dumb.

5. Don't rush your timeline! Let the story evolve. Make the porn discovery last month, and then add a section about eavesdropping outside his door while his gay friend is sleeping over. Oh, and make those suspicious noises you hear something with a perfectly possible innocent explanation. That will keep the tension going until you get to the climax, as it were, of your story.

Why didn’t you just watch it on your own laptop?

R63 what does est mean. Is that some type of gay slang for cunt. I swear this all happened. Me and my oldest still sometime cuddle together.

This year, quarterback on the football team - next year head cheerleader!

It’s been too long since I’d read the term “Unclebottom”. Thanks for the refresher r32!

I discovered my pussy when I bent down

Plot twist: it’s the 13 year old younger brother who’s jealous of his overachieving older brother. He logged on to his older brother’s computer and planted this evidence to fuck with mom and older brother.

I was just wondering what happened to Unclebottom. Thought we lost him to covid since we hadn't had any stories in a while.

Hey Katy, what type and brand of wine are you drinking? Is it Cavit pino greej?

EST = Elaborate Scenario Troll

It's in the Datalounge Dictionary if you bother to look it up.

How gullible/stupid are people to believe this moronic post is real? Good lord.

R71 Don’t fucking patronize me. I’m sick of gay men patronizing. Tony just called me hurling insults. Apparently my son called him and he said that my drinking has gotten out of control. That he never visited those sites and threatened to call CPS on me if I didn’t “behave”. He would never. He knows my ex would cut off his allowance. Fucking bitch.

I think this was an ABC Afterschool Special.

Spank him, OP! Spank him real hard!

Those ABC specials were better written!

Ask your son for his Christmas wish list. If butt plugs are on the list, you have your answer.

This is so deeply boring.

[quote]Apparently my son called him and he said that my drinking has gotten out of control.

No! We never would have guessed!

LOTS of trolls today

[quote] This is so deeply boring.

There WAS some promise of a recipe for good spinach artichoke dip but all the pervs went for the Unclebottom angle instead.

So, OP, like I said, the issue here is you, not him. I understand you're surprised and upset that your son may have a sexual identity that you're uncomfortable with. Maybe he's gay, maybe he's bi, fluid, whatever. Maybe he's straight and was just investigating different kinds of porn. If he is, nothing you do or say will change that. Sexuality is immutable. If you confront him in a negative way, you may prompt him to sublimate it, make himself miserable, and drive a wedge between you. It's pretty awful to live a life without being honest about who one really is. Even with all the acceptance and 'mainstreaming' of gay culture, it's still hard to be gay and even harder to come out to parents who can't accept them. But again, that's about you, not him. It sounds to me like you want him to reach his potential in life, but with the condition that he live your vision for him, not his. That's not fostering the best for your child. Do yourself a favor and do some good research. And stay away from conversion therapy and conservative religion - both of which are comparable to burning witches at the stake. It's possible for your relationship with your son to reach an even greater depth if you are willing to confront your own fears and anxieties. Good luck.

OP has been redlined already?

It happens when you spend too long in one sock account starting post after post of non-stop drivel.

Muriel has had sufficient.

the redline lasted a couple hours at most.

Thank you, Muriel.

So apparently Uncle Tony is innocent. It was the best friend. I’ve known him since he was 7 but I don’t think I will let him spend the night over anymore.
