Just found this on family laptop

I'm need need of some advice. After work, I sat down to type something in the address bar on Explorer (I was typing Hotmail, to be precise) and as I started typing (literally one or two letters) my search bar suggested 'homosexual anime porn' and 'homosexual manga porn'. I went into our Internet users history and found that over a 30-60 minute period in the middle of the night (Friday or Saturday night, I can't remember) someone has searched for the above, plus manga incest, male on male gay porn and more. It would almost be funny (because of the animal element) if it wasn't so disturbing.

I have two DDs, aged 10 and 13. The younger one has her own laptop which she saved up for, so she doesn't use ours. The older one does use ours to play on and do homework, although at the times that correspond to when she was using it during the day just contain educational sites because she has been doing a history project. Both girls have been learning to draw manga. Little one hasn't heard of homosexual porn or incest, and the big one might have at school. She has never shown any interest in boys, or girls for that matter, but might be curious? If it turns out to be her, we will obviously be having a serious chat and supervising all screen use, because she will have betrayed our trust by going online during the night and googling unsuitable topics.

Then there is DH... we have been married for 20 years and he as straight as straight can be, or so I thought. I guess I am asking how I should approach this, because if it's not him then we need to have a serious chat with our daughter.

Unless there is some kind of virus or malware that generates this kind of thing? (Clutching at straws).

You lost me with dd for incest as well, yuck, no teen is going to be looking for that

You've clearly never ventured into the depths of Supernatural fan fiction involving the Winchester brothers (to name but one example). Almost all of it is written by teens and young adult women.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 10/09/2018 18:36

My ds (back in the day) ran up a serious phone bill searching for hentai. He was about 13. (Don't bother googling-it's anime porn)

Jezered · 10/09/2018 18:37

Do you know what mangas she’s reading or anime watching? Some have as others have said quite a sexual side, with gay characters and homosexuality not uncommon, also there are some with an incest storyline plus all the tumblrs and fanfics dedicated to these sexual storylines, if it’s her a talk about appropriate genres of manga/anime for her age might be needed!

itssquidstella · 10/09/2018 18:38

Fred and George Weasley also popular in the 'twincest' sub genre.

userblablabla · 10/09/2018 18:38

I’m 99% certain it’s your older DD. I had friends who were interested in this sort of thing at that age (and even younger!)

Otatop · 10/09/2018 18:38

Fanfiction and sites like Tumblr are full of innocent stuff mixed in with erotic and plain inappropriate stuff. I'd bet that DD happened across it and Googled to find out more.

Skyejuly · 10/09/2018 18:39

The time of day suggests DH.

dany174 · 10/09/2018 18:40

It is most certainly your DD. Male on male anime porn is written by women for women I seriously doubt your DH would find it interesting even if he had homosexual tendencies and I would assume that any adult man would know better search terms then that to find what they are looking for.

deepsea Your teens maybe, but plenty of others would. It's common use in the fanfiction world.

RE incest not being something a teen would search for, Fred and George fanfiction was all the rage when I was a teen! nd various other Weasley combos! Still very easy to find on AO3!

LaMainDeFatima · 10/09/2018 18:43

Would DH not look at it on his phone ?

LemonysSnicket · 10/09/2018 18:44

@Singlenotsingle of course they are, don't be naive.

Trialsmum · 10/09/2018 18:46

Pokemon porn? Happy Potter porn? Fred and George Weasley? I clearly led a sheltered childhood... 😳

deepsea · 10/09/2018 18:47

Not all the teens are the same, but she has gone to extreme lengths getting up at 2.30am. I still don't buy it at 13. No way.

deepsea · 10/09/2018 18:48

Why wouldn't dd look on her phone or laptap?

LemonysSnicket · 10/09/2018 18:48

@deepsea I don't see why not? She couldn't search for it at any other time as it risked her family seeing. Most people I know watched porn at 13...

MissLingoss · 10/09/2018 18:48

I believe there's even My Little Pony porn. Or so I've heard.

LemonysSnicket · 10/09/2018 18:49

And the OP says that the younger DD has her own laptop, the elder doesn't have one.

FermatsTheorem · 10/09/2018 18:49

My money is also on your DD, via Tumblr/Archive of our own and fanfic. (One of my friends described reading Archive of our own as "dumpster diving in the collective subconscious...")

Inmyvestandpants · 10/09/2018 18:49

Speak to husband first, (otherwise if it's not your daughter, she will find out that her dad's been looking at internet porn in the middle of the night), on the pretext of "DD has been looking at internet porn in the small hours, how shall we approach this?" If it's actually your dh he'll likely fess up to avoid a scene with dd.

But my money's on your daughter. We were all reading "Flowers in the Attic" at that age, not to mention the "Diary of Laura Palmer" (Twin Peaks era). It's completely normal for teens to be intrigued by this kind of thing imho.

Lockheart · 10/09/2018 18:50

@deepsea the OP says her eldest DD doesn't have her own laptop, so uses her parents. And the OP makes no mention of either DD having a phone.

Wafflenose · 10/09/2018 18:50

I clearly lead a sheltered life too, because I have never heard of some of the stuff mentioned on this thread.

DD doesn't read manga - we have just watched a lot of manga/anime as a family. Think Studio Ghibli, Morobito etc. I always know what she up to online too, because she uses the family laptop in the living room or dining room. She doesn't have her own - her sister does because she saved up for it.

My money is on DH.

OP posts:
Otatop · 10/09/2018 18:50

Nothing to say that she went to 'extreme lengths' and planned to get up at 2:30am specifically to Google manga porn. She might've just been awake and messing around online.

TatianaLarina · 10/09/2018 18:52

So much more likely to be your DH than your DD.

Nanna50 · 10/09/2018 18:53

I wouldn’t make too much of the the male on male, as one search suggests another search and so on, so searching homosexual may then throw up a male on male search which your DD can click on IYSWIM.
