So. DH travelling back today from York on the train. Women (mid 40’s in case you’re wondering) in front of him had her phone angled to the window so people passing couldn’t see. It was however, reflected in the window and DH had a clear view of her porn! Don’t get me wrong, whatever floats your boat but on a train??Blush

Creepy

I once sat next to a very well dressed man in his 50s on the train who's phone auto played whatever porn he had been watching that morning, the moaning and slapping could be heard through the whole carriage whilst he furiously tried to turn it off

Yes it is quite odd 😂🙈

There's a man on my bus who watches porn in the morning. Gay porn, not that it matters...

Just him and me on the bus, and he sits right down the front so you can see what he is watching.

There was something about is on the radio last week. British Transport Police and London Transport said this should be reported, they consider this a public order offence.

silkpyjamasallday · 19/11/2018 18:57

It's so so gross. Keep that shit for in private.

EsherGreen · 19/11/2018 18:57

Was it definitely porn? Not, like, a love scene in a European film?

AfterSchoolWorry · 19/11/2018 18:58

Euw 😩

Sparklesocks · 19/11/2018 18:59

It’s gross yes. Even if you are trying to hide it you’re still watching something with the aim or feelings aroused in public. Be into what you’re into but don’t drag other people into it.

I think it should be banned and people should be prosecuted if they watch it in a public place. Infact I was shocked to learn recently that it wasn't already considered an offence.

LaurieFairyCake · 19/11/2018 19:00

I wouldn't find it 'weird'

I'd find it incredibly threatening. I would also be properly furious.

flowerandflower · 19/11/2018 19:04

It's obviously weird and inappropriate

RagingWhoreBag · 19/11/2018 19:06

I’m always being taken by surprise when watching a 9pm drama or a 15 film and the couple start at it. Probably more likely something like that than actual porn surely? DP and I take the iPad on long journeys and watch box sets (with headphones), so quite often end up with scenes that are a bit embarrassing in public.

Report it to British Transport police on 61016.

Like @LaurieFairyCake I would find it threatening and regard it as harassment.

It is making other people feel uncomfortable and is unacceptable. I would not want my DC to have to endure this.

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 19/11/2018 19:07

I agree with laurie it's threatening more than weird

Was it definitely porn? I have been watching tv on my laptop on the train before and then some wild sex scene has come on and I've thought what if someone sees and thinks I'm looking at porn.

LargeHadronColander · 19/11/2018 19:37

I asked the same question about it definitely being porn.. DH said it definitely was... although he did think the same thing at first. But apparently there was a ‘money shot’ Confused

I'm impressed that he could see the detail of a "money shot" in a window reflection.
He must have been looking very intently...

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 19/11/2018 19:42

Revolting.

RagingWhoreBag · 19/11/2018 19:42

He must have been looking very intently... Grin

Violetroselily · 19/11/2018 19:44

I sat next to a chap watching hard-core porn on a packed commuter train.

Totally inappropriate

HappyGoodHairBear · 19/11/2018 19:44

Icky at best. Sinister most likely. Threatening at worst.

HappyGoodHairBear · 19/11/2018 19:44

Also, had she no shame!

At least he wasn’t on the same train as Gazza though.

Small mercies and all that.
