"Teen" Porn

85 replies

LadyBananaHammock · 20/02/2022 21:27

Partner of 25 years, 61 years old. I am 55. We don’t live together. Turns out he has a penchant for teen porn. I rumbled him before and he swore he would never do it again. And yet here we are some years later. He even wrote out a signed contract to say never again. His idea, not mine. Put it on his fridge and there it remains. What a joke.

The recent sites have models who are…apparently 18 years old, but MY GOD, they look so young. About 13, if I’m honest. I feel a bit ill. He’s been impotent for years and was never that into sex, tbh, so what the hell is this all about?

I’m so depressed. I have struggled with bulimia for years and now it has returned with a vengeance. I'm not blaming him, I take full responsibility for my illness, but dear Lord, it’s so hard to feel good about myself right now.

We have other problems, which I have chosen to ignore because of his umpteen good qualities. I am in recovery from child sexual abuse (which he knows all about), so perhaps my issues are getting the better of me. I probably shouldn’t be taking all this so seriously. The girls look so young, though. Maybe I shouldn’t have checked up on him. Serves me right for snooping.

Please help me get over this.

He sounds gross.
Sorry op but this would be a huge problem for me. You are right to be concerned.

Envy Howk.

Tbh op I don't think I could stay with a man who is 61 years old and watches porn involving really young women. It's so fucking creepy.

And please don't think it's a you issue.

I just don't know any good qualities from him that would balance out that shit.

I guess the fantasy is that they are kids, even if the disclaimer is that they are all 18 years or over. Christ. Just the fact that he even looks at young girls that way.

And why is your go to that you need to 'get over this'. He lied to you. He betrayed you. He is being creepy as fuck.

This probably sn't something you should sweep under the carpet. And why would you forgive someone when they haven't done anything to show they are sorry?

I'm also curious if he was considerably older than you when you met?

AdamRyan · 20/02/2022 21:39

Oh god, poor you Flowers
NONE of this is your fault. It's all on him. Take your time to process what's happening. Can you see your gp or something to get some Help?

I was 30, he was 36. As I say, he never had an especially high sex drive. Now I cannot bear the thought of him near me.

Im still in shock, tbh. What the hell is this all about?

Please tell me that he doesn’t have access to children.

legalseagull · 20/02/2022 21:48

I'd have no reservations at all about calling police. What makes you think they're 18 if they look 13?! Because he says they are? Because the name of the film says they are? Call the police and boot his disgusting peado arse out

No, not at all.

You don't need to 'get over this', you need to get over him. You can do so much better. Imagine being with someone who makes you feel good about yourself, not so bad that you go back to disordered eating. Get rid and have a happier life.

AdamRyan · 20/02/2022 21:50

It's about him having some kind of weird porn fetish that he probably thinks is private/doesn't matter. But it does.
No judgement here, whether you can get past it and your marriage is good or its a deal breaker.
I hate porn, it killed my marriage but I stayed a long time so I'm very sympathetic what ever you do

Yes, I think I probably will. Is "teen" a euphemism? Disclaimer on the site, but they would say that, wouldn't they?

I forced myself to keep checking his history, as I knew he had slipped back some time ago.

legalseagull · 20/02/2022 21:54

So sorry you're going through it. What a shock. Even if they're adults, it's wanking over the fetish of children. I'm so sorry.

You know the joke? He's a real prude in daily life. Very conservative, all into family values etc. What a fucking hypocrite

DrDreReturns · 20/02/2022 21:56

I'm sure I read somewhere it's illegal to make porn that looks like the people involved are underage even if they aren't.

VodselForDinner · 20/02/2022 21:58

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it sounds very upsetting and stressful.

That said, why have you not left him? He’s a disgusting pervert. At best, he’s a disgusting ephebophile, but it’s hard to imagine that he doesn’t get involved in worse when he’s home alone. Why would you want to even be associated with such a person?

Thanks to everyone who's posted. Im so upset, Im going to bed.

Thank God we don't live together. I can just cut the cord quite easily.

Avarua · 20/02/2022 22:02

Ew! Total deal breaker for me. I'd be revolted by him forever.

I can't believe someone suggested calling Police. As if they'd care! Not a crime. Gross, but not a crime.

SouthParkCovid · 20/02/2022 22:03

I'm sorry you're going through this op

Avarua · 20/02/2022 22:03

I'm not surprised by men and their fucked up sexuality anymore. Sickened, regularly, but no longer surprised.

Up until now his porn browsing was occasional and really quite vanilla. He begged me for another chance about 5 years ago when I first found out.

Seemed to like quite harmless stuff. I haven't 'checked up' on him until today. Now it's all this 'teen' stuff.

I am sorry but this is disgusting....

A pensioner slobbering over girls made to look like teenagers?

This man lied to you as well.

Frankly I would be really grossed out and could not live with someone like this.

The way to get over this is to get rid of him.

I am a bit extra-sensitive as I come from an abusive background but to me there are also other massive red flags: he has always had a low sex drive with you ( a grown woman) but gets off on watching young girls pretending to be teens. You have a history of childhood trauma yourself and men who are predators can sense this and target women who are vulnerable and easier to manipulate. Reading between the lines there might something really dodgy going on. As some have said I hope he does not have access to children/teens in real life.

Personally I would take his laptop to the police and ask them to have a good look around....

Do yourself a big favour and leave the creep.
