    I worked with an older man whose wife kept him on a tight leash, including monitoring Internet activity. It would be hard for him to get access to porn that his wife didn’t know about and she would be very unhappy if he accessed it.

    These kinds of shows would be perfect for him.

      You are telling me that she monitored his Internet activity but not what he watched? That HBO was easier than a private window or clearing history? Something that’s been part of Internet browsing for 30 years, since dude wasn’t old? That sounds like bullshit.

        She definitely monitored what he watched. However, there were a few allowances like watching prestige TV that she also liked.

        As for clearing history or private windows, she had installed tracking software to “protect the kids” and she would know if there was no browsing history at a time when he was online and assume the worst.

            Perhaps, but there are a variety of relationships where going to porn may not be acceptable, but media like this which skirts the line may be acceptable to someone’s relational, moral, or other reasons.

            I would go to porn, but I’ve learned that my attitudes towards morality aren’t universal. Some people need an excuse or have a limit in a way that I don’t.
