Father in Law 80+ naughty boy

This is not really an AIBU but felt like a good place to post.

Staying at my in laws at the moment with the kids. Mother in law and DH went out and I’m working from home. Father in law is also at home.

I’m upstairs and he is in study downstairs. Suddenly I hear a woman’s voice - it sounds like she is in distress or sort of semi screaming in pain. Well the first few seconds I thought that’s what I was hearing as thought he must be watching some crime / drama or something… but he was clearly watching porn.

I think he is rather deaf, it was rather loud. He did turn it down a bit but the change of volume was like someone who is screaming is now just shouting.

I don’t judge anyone for watching porn but I actually had a physical reaction to that and feel somewhat sick.

He, I assume, clearly didn’t think I can hear it. Or did he forget I was here?

I presume that they weren’t invited to stay with them but don’t have any where to stay at the moment
ii also presume that it is in the realms of possibility that he thought she was out with the rest of the family.
Yes people should be good hosts equally people should be good guests and no cause disquiet between him and his wife.
im sure they can leave any time they want
if not put up and shut up

Auldeacon you sound like a pervert who thinks it's acceptable to play porn when family are staying.Roll back under your rock .

You didn't say that the kids had gone out. I thought they were still in the house with you. My apologies.

Still, who watches full-volume porn when there are guests in the house? Someone who wants the guest to know they're watching it, that's who. Nonce might not be exactly the right word. Let's substitute wrong 'un.

Pervert is the name for fil.

Porn has been around as long as humans have been around. It wont die out.

Its not realistic or even representative of understanding humans to think that.

Evidence has shown that young girls are often drugged and raped in " Lolitta" porn.How do we know the pervert is not watching this type of porn and would be a risk to the grandchildren even .You need to leave the perverts house and tell him and his wife not acceptable behaviour .

I really can’t believe the attitude to porn on mumsnet 🤣

Everyone who watches porn needs to ensure they’re wearing headphones so as not to potentially upset someone?

Some people have morals and standards.

Anything a man does in his own home is acceptable?

Really, well, hopefully he shuts the curtains and waits till guests have gone home.😬

You are staying at your in-laws which must have a impact on their privacy
yet you think you have a right to complain about something he’s doing in his own house
if you do complain don’t be surprised if your in-laws tell you to leave for your cheek.

I was asking @Aulddeacon a question in reply to the post above @NovemberMorn.

My FIL put his hand up my skirt once when he was drunk, totally out of character so I know how you feel. I wouldn't want to be alone with him or your FIL.

Indeed, but it's gone from mere pictures, to CSA images, violence, sex trafficking, children being able to watch it on their phones, teenage girls being expected to do all sorts, strangulation being seen as a normal part of sex, I could go on.
Remember that girl who had to pretend to be a lawyer to get Porn Hub to take down the video of her rape? Meanwhile most of the boys at her school had seen it and she was being bullied over it. We're not talking erotic mosaics here.

At that age I would hope that he had old fashioned respect towards women and not subject D.I.L. to his perversion. How embarrassing!

Odds on this guy is developing dementia- this lack of understanding the consequences of his actions is pretty diagnostic of frontal lobe impairment.

@RobW1 do you mind sharing what is your background, if you have experience in that area?

It might be worth getting him assessed.

Challenger2A7 · 27/01/2025 22:15

Why the h*LL do some men NEVER get over sex? Why do they NEVER get over seeing yet another naked woman? "Oooh look!! Maybe this naked woman will be different, she'll have five boobs and fourteen legs!!! Oooh I'm so excited!!!" Grow up.

I'm a psychiatrist, not an old age specialist, but have had enough relevant experience to raise this as a concern.

But he turned down the sound a bit as soon as he thought it was loud enough that someone else could possibly hear
