Did you guys find your dad's porno stash?

Posted by Jonestown_Juice@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 310 comments

I did. He had a bunch of Playboys in cardboard boxes in the back of his closet. He also had some unmarked VCR tapes. I stayed home from school one day by myself and watched it. It was a copy of "New Age Hookers". What porn did your dad have?

My dad had maybe 20 VHS tapes. They were all recorded from other VHS tapes and the quality was sketchy at best. None had the title on, but did list the main theme like ‘anal’, ‘3sum’ etc. I was a latch key kid. I’d get home, sneak into his room and go straight to the bottom of his wardrobe where he kept them. After a while I got cocky and would take one for a few days so I could jerk off late at night with the volume down. Doing this got me caught 😳😬 My porn taste now has a lot of similarities with my dad.

I’m not a guy, but a friend and I did find a stack of I guess what when at the time were “vintage” Playboy magazines when I was 12 or so. I was at a friends house and we were working on a project in her dad’s workshop. I just remember giggling and both of us being fascinated that there were pictures with boobs and bush. 😂 Little did we know that was right around the corner for us too.

so my uncle and dad apparently had recorded a pay per view porn on a beta tape. Given blank tapes weren't free, they eventually recorded duck tales the movie on it. Guess what happens when duck tales the movie is shorter than a porno and the credits roll past and a bunch of kids are watching it in the summer?

My granddad had both in their bathroom right next to the nat geo, and readers digests. Hustler was considered porn, so not found by me, but playboy/girl was an art since they may have been mostly nude, but it wasn't super sexualized. Same with pinup girls for airplanes. For context, my grandma was a professional artist, so body studies were a thing, I do them too since I follow her footsteps, sans the magazines nowadays. And I have a love of what I call tasteful nudes, like what you find in playboy, you know they are naked, but can't see anything!

When my dad moved out he bought a condo. The day he moved in the guy who moved out had a box of sports illustrated in the carport and he said to my brother and me, “you guys can have those if you want. “. Underneath the SI issues was about two years worth of Penthouse magazines. Our lives changed that day.

As a guy with a brother and no sisters, I understand exactly what you mean. I remember how much of a mystery female anatomy was before the internet. I saw nude women in playboy, but they all had the full-bush thing going and, because of how the women were posing, you couldn’t actually see their genitals. I think I was 13 before I came across a penthouse magazine where you could actually see a woman nude and in her full glory. Like you said, it changed my world.

I found a Hustler at a friend's house when I was 12/13. Seeing a woman with her legs open shocked me. It looked like a baboon's butt. I was more astounded than aroused. The image was burned into my retina like staring at a light. I don't think that's why I'm gay, but it helped me to understand what I liked and didn't like

Yes. I thought I found hidden Christmas presents. Instead it was videocassettes of films. This was the '90s but the videos appeared to be from the '70s-'80s One video had a circus theme and a woman pushed a chicken egg out of her vagina. I didn't realize women looked like that inside down there. There were so many floppy penises (I was a teenager but had never seen penises that big(. I felt guilty but kept returning to them for weeks when he went bowling.

I was helping my mom put the towels away in the bathroom closet when I was 15. She was trying to pull a sheet off the top shelf and a Club magazine fell onto the floor. She quickly grabbed it and I pretended I didn't see it. Needless to say I spent a lot more time in the bathroom after that 😂. He had Club, Penthouse and various others going back to the early 80s in his stash. He even had the early 80s Penthouse with Madonna. I told my friends about the stash and every time they'd come over they had to use the bathroom. It was a running joke.

My dad didn’t have a porn stash, but boy did his barber. I guess it was normal back in the 80s for men’s barbershops to have Playboy and Penthouse magazines around? I never peaked (i was usually there with my dad) but once I walked my 8 year old bro there to get haircuts when i was 13 and as i was getting my hairs cut he went wild and dug through the whole stash with a bewildered look on his face.

My dad only had one (1) Penthouse and one (1) Playboy (the issue where Katerina Witt, the ice skater, was the centerfold). My mom, however, had entire plastic bags full of those Harlequin romance novels. The ones with the red spines that were extra spicy - you know the ones: where the lusty Scottish highlander ravishes virginal princesses and the like. They also had a jointly owned copy of "the Joy of Sex," which was....fun to stumble across as a child. For some ungodly reason, it was hidden in the GARAGE behind a Folgers can full of rusty nails and bolts.

My parents didn’t have porn, but my mom had a copy of “Our Bodies, Ourselves” which included a step-by-step “how to masturbate” set of instructions for women. My mind was blown. I discovered the red spine romance novels as a kid on the library’s paperback exchange shelf. A friend and I were into gothic romance novels & traded books all the time, and used the shelf to trade as well. I quickly quit the gothics when I found the smut. My parents found a shelf full in my room and it was a huge deal - I was grounded, they considered not letting me be friends with her anymore (but relented).

My parents were weird. My mom got my dad a subscription to playboy every year for their anniversary, and when new issues would come they’d make me find the hidden bunny on the cover. When I was a teen, my dad tried to slip me an issue of Genesis that had a Stephen King interview and tell me to “only read the interview,” then he went to bed. I was such an anxious kid that—other than a quick peek—that’s really all I did. I only realized in retrospect that he was worried I was gay because I only ever hung out with/talked about boys (they were my D&D group, lol). I grew up on a ranch, though, so the big stash I found was the cowboy stash in the barn.

Never found my dad's stash but my buddy found his step dad's. He had a ton of magazines and videos. The videos were labeled like normal movies. I remember the first one we found was in a Star Trek box. We also had a cool single neighbor who let us know the night he was tossing his old magazines away. He placed them nicely on the top of the garbage inside the can.

Oh boy, did I ever.. Debbie Does Dallas was the one I remember the most but there were tons. When I was really young my mother worked at a local video store and was allowed to take home what ever she wanted, including stuff from behind the forbidden curtain. My parents had 2 VCRs hooked up to make copies, we had a massive collection of pirated movies. So once I found the stash in the back of the closet marked XXX, I knew how to make copies. This was 6th grade, once word got out every eighth grader wanted a porno so of course I started selling copies for $5. Business was good until one unfortunate kid got busted watching by his mom, he threw me under the bus claiming I was supposed lend him a copy of The Sandlot. Fucker's mom called the school, they raided my locker and found a dozen VHS tapes. Needless to say they called my father, while I was sitting in the principal's office, even read off some of the titles on the tapes.. he knew they were his and he knew his copies were still in his closest. I expected to get in the most amount of trouble possible.. he never said a word, acted like nothing happened when he got home, to this day we've never spoken about it.

When I was 9 or 10 my older cousins at a sleepover put on some softcore porn on cable. All of this, I’m sure, contributed enormously to my current dysfunctions.

I’m aware of this, but thank you for the attempted education. My grandma was born in 1910 and by all appearances was incredibly repressed, probably like many of her generation. She lived in an incredibly remote, poor area. She never worked, nor learned how to drive. I assume she’d have been in her 40s if not older, before the household even got a car. I never one time saw her in pants; it was always a housedress/muu muu. So finding essentially a form of pornography in her dresser was fairly shocking.

It was the early 90s and I found some tapes that my dad had in a foot locker. I saw a bit of Debbie does Dallas, and Bambi Woods broke my brain. It was around the time of Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman so between that it’s no mistake that my 1st and current wife are blonde hair and blue eyed.

My dad said he had 10 years of Playboy magazines. Preteen and early teenage me would tear the house apart trying to find them when they'd go out for the night. Never did find them, lol. He had tons of boxed up stuff in his spare room, I went through those things but no luck. I did find his VHS stash of 70s-80s Cinemax porn he recorded when we had cable (good ole skinemax.)

My dad had a satellite dish and a de-scrambler. I learned how to find the best channels. He also work I. VCR repair. Customers would come in with tapes stuck in machines and deny that they owned them. He would bring them home sometimes. I’m not sure of any specifics, but there were a lot. Finally, he had a friend that ran a video rental store. At one point, he moved locations. My brother and I were asked to help move. We found the entire section of tapes. We each took whichever one we could grab. I remember mine was some kind of western themed movie.

There was occasionally a copy of Hustler or Playboy lying around the house— I remember flipping through them and getting some early anatomy lessons as a kid with the good old “I think you can see her kidneys” shots. My brother and a neighborhood kid found a porno magazine in the woods once— lol so that shit DOES happen. Tip: if you find your dad’s porno VHS tapes, make sure to rewind the tape to where it was when you found it— and definitely don’t leave it in the VCR.

Yes, vhs tapes. And when he realized what I’d done he plugged the recording hole and recorded over it with a catholic mass to scare the shit out of me… and it did. I put it back and never touched the tapes again and didn’t tell a soul. We shared the story and had a laugh at my bachelor dinner a couple nights before my wedding. Great memories. He was a good dad.

Yes, VHS tapes have a square that in consumer models can be punched out so you can’t record over the media. Production VHS tapes like movies or pornos in this instance had that square removed but you can plug it and record over the tape. This is the lengths the man went to.

I did. Twice. My family moved abroad for a few years in the late 80s, early 90s. While we were gone, family house-sat for us. We'll apparently dad forgot to cancel his playboy subscription. So the family apparently just stashed them in a linen closet, which 13 year old me found a few years after we got back. A little while after this discovery, I happened upon his porn video stash. I'd "borrow" a few at a time, and only got caught because I caused him to get an overdue fee at the adult bookstore when I borrowed one he rented and he forgot about it. We came to an agreement that he'd loan me one at a time, his pick of the content, and mom would never know. I'm 40 now, and mom still doesn't know.

One time my sister and I played a mystery tape we found in the VCR called Bolero. My mom came in the room to watch us finding a fairly explicit sex scene that was kind of slapstick. We were very confused and she put a hand over our eyes and stopped the tape. We never talked about it. Later on we used to find porn in all sorts of weird places around the house. My parents were pack rats. The house looked clean but anything you opened up was stuffed with random chaos. So I’d go looking for my birth certificate and find such random things and sometimes porn. I hated having to go hunting for stuff. My house as an adult is very organized.

So this is kinda off topic but not. My grandma became a widow when I was 5. I think when I was 8, a widow man moved in with her. They had separate bedrooms but in my 20s when they passed away, i found out they were together but didn't get married because my grandma got money from grandpa being in the army and the widow guy got money from him being in the army. They acted like roommates hence I never realized they were together. After my grandma died, he still was part of the family. I barely saw him though. He suddenly had to take pills. For what I don't know. When he took his pills, he was normal. When he didn't, he thought he was in a relationship with me even though I haven't even seen him. He went to my parents house and told them we are doing the dirty and dropped off 3 porno movies for them to give to me. That was the weirdest phone call from my mom explaining it to me. I gave the porosity to my guy friends. He was at Pearl Harbor when the event happened and to get old with something that changes you without taking medication sucks. I don't fault him for something he didn't have control over so didn't charnish his name after all that weirdness happened.

That issue coming out created a massive scandal and she had to give back her crown. Back then it was all over the news and a huge deal. Strangely, people cared about Miss America and pageants back in those days. I saw the issue and It was a pretty graphic pictorial featuring her with another woman.

Hahahaha. His “stash?” It wasn’t exactly stashed. Pops had a playboy collection going back to the 70’s through the late 90’s (we had the infamous LaToya Jackson cover) that was just sitting partly by his dresser and haphazardly in his closet. He also had subscriptions to Stuff, Maxim and FHM and those were just kept out on the bottom of the coffee table (mixed in with reader’s digest and Nat Geo). It was just how we grew up. The only two times he got flustered about us finding something sex related was when we found his hentai bondage porn and when his first grandson was learning to walk he pulled himself up on the coffee table and out spilled Shannon Elizabeth in a bikini. The subscriptions stopped after that. In a roundabout way that part of the magazine collection (he’s still got the playboys) became my “stash” because I had been snaking old FHMs, Stuffs, and Maxims since I was a freshman in HS and hiding them in an old hockey bag, and that stash DID get found my mother when she went to donate it years later and now she and my wife laugh about it.

This makes me wonder. When I was a kid, my stepdad didn’t have any porn at home. He was pretty strict when it came to titty shots in movies. We had to cover our eyes when we watched movies with those scenes at home. I spent a lot of time at his office and there was a stack of playboys on the men’s room toilet. After I found those, I had to ‘take a dump’ a lot. He never said anything or made an effort to hide them when I was there. One of his buddies had a poster of a nude woman on the wall of his office and when they noticed me eyeballing in it, they made jokes.

I learned a lot from my mom's raunchy romance novels and sex self-help books. My mom figured it out and all these books just disappeared one day.

I found a porn VHS hidden in a light fixture of the bar of our house. Being a kid I of course knew every nook and cranny and went snooping. I was about 11 and the video was a threesome involving a multitkracial group. Which I mention because we're Hispanic abd my Dad has always had something negative to say about black people and one involved a black woman. I kept the video under my mattress for months because I found it so intriguing. My Mom later found it in my room and angrily confronted me about it. Called me a dirty girl and I shouldn't have been looking at those types of videos. I had to tell her it was my her husband's porn and why am I getting castigated for it? I knew it was my Dad's because my brother left his porn out in the open of his room and this one was so cleverly hidden.

Ok random memory. One of my high school teachers used to play bass for songs played in porns. It was a rumor that he never denied.

My dada had some Penthouse magazines in the garage. There were a few that there were two of. I hid them in my desk. My parents wanted to see the drawer open or something. I keep saying I lost the key. My Dad totally knew. He was trying to open it and asked if I had magazines in there. He said it’s okay he will just throw them away and tell mom. lol. Oh I was freaking out the whole time. My dad totally sensed it I’m sure.

Found it and I think it had an impact. When I was a little girl early in my elementary school years I was a latchkey kid. I looked at all my dad’s Playboys. There was one special edition hardcover book called Noelle and the Twelve Nights of Christmas and some others. I really was fascinated with the lesbian scenes. I looked at them any chance I got. Needless to say, ended up bi-sexual and worked as a nude lap dancer when I was young. Now I’m married over 20 years and my husband still comments on my high sex drive. I think seeing my dad’s porn at a very young age, and later internet porn as a teen really re-wired my brain and left me hyper sexualized. That and being an autistic girl that fixated on becoming like that.

Found my dad's Playboys when I was 7. I brought one to school in my lunch box. I was showing my friends at recess, then this one kid who I didnt like came up, so I stashed it back in the lunch box and ran off to play. That kid opened my lunch box and told on me, so my parents had to come in. My mom tried to tell me that they belonged to a friend of my dad, and that this friend was currently in a country where that stuff was illegal. Started seeing those black bags in the mailbox when we got back stateside. Sure, mom; dad was just holding them for someone

I remember Chris Rock did a bit about how men were so dumb they hid their porn in the vcr. That was my dad. Just go to his room when he wasn’t there and press play. And before you knew titties on the screen. 😂🤷‍♂️

The joke was different. It was that we hide our porn in a makeshift Batcave where they can't find it but we're too stupid and wind up leaving the tape in the VCR after we're finished watching it.

My brother's stole a porno movie from my dad that was on a beta tape. I wish I kept it and also that I didn't accidentally record over some of it because it would be a collectable now. It was the movie called Superwoman. Why is that a collectable? Because either DC or Warner Bros or someone like that sued them and so they changed the name of the movie to Ms. Magnificent, but I had the original Superwoman version of the movie.

Not until he got a computer that just kept crashing . Teaching my dad how to safely porn surf was a thing for me and my brothers for over a decade. I’m not sure at this point if he’s finally figured out how not to crash a machine or has just accepted he’s going to brick it and buys new ones. I’m not parental IT anymore and don’t ask.

Found a box of 70s Hustler’s when I was 9 or 10. When I had sleepovers I’d sneak into the basement and gawk over all the unshaven glory and raunchy cartoons with my friends. On a side note, the first “moral stand” I ever made happened when my cousin was leafing through a Hustler and recognized her teacher in some amateur spread. She thought it would be hilarious to bring it to school and humiliate her teacher but I wouldn’t let her. Looking back I’m glad I had a spine when it mattered. But yea, 70s titties and bush as far as the eye could see.

My grandpa who lived with us showed me his stash when I was 8. Also took me to see Night of the living dead at the drive in when I was 5. When I would watch him bowl in leagues he would show me the naked ladies on the playing cards. He was my hero! Nothing but B-list horror movies with titties we’re on in his room and I would hang there all the time between 8-12 years old. Cause he didn’t change the channel to cartoons when I was in there. He kept the horror titty movies on. Legend!

No, but my mom found mine. A modest collection of exactly one Playboy that I found in the bushes up at the schoolyard, carefully hidden under a floorboard in the attic. It was safe there until my parents finally remodeled and finished it off. She was cleaning out storage and I'd completely forgotten it was there. She never told me and I never asked. I didn't have to. I went up to look for it shortly after, felt around, and to my absolute mortification realized she'd found it and thrown it out. I couldn't look her in the eyes for a solid week afterward.

Yes and it was a bunch of Playboys, Penthouse and a few adult videos. My younger brother stole them and sold it to kids in our school but he didn't punish anyone because he didn't want to bring it up since he put it in a place he was hiding it from my mom. So years later when we were in our 20s I had a bunch to drink and I told him about my brother selling it and he really let him have it! Serves him right for not cutting me in 🤣😈

Just Playboys from the early 1980's. I found them in a random box in the garage in the late 1990's, and judging by the dust, nobody had looked at them in many years.

"Found". I was handed it when I went online looking. Because nothing is more convincing to the local BBS operator than "Trust me bro. I'm 18". In retrospect. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the setup on time. Because that stack of playboys didn't have an algorithm pushing bi-lingual step-cousin inter-city extremist videos. All things considered playboys were high art by today's standards. And in a safety message from the 90s: The playboys were on the stairs. Under the loaded (not chambered) .22 for pests. I also know where the *boxes* of them were stored. Also under his .45 and its ammo. Under the .50 (muzzleloader). Looking at current eBay prices I kind of wish I kept a hold of those after his death.
