    I think it's fair to assume, at least for the sake of this topic, that he was searching for porn, or some kind of sexual content.

    I wouldn't think so. He was at one stage searching for porn but there is no way we can know if he was searching for "Teen pussy" around the same time he was searching for "very young children". The time between those searches could have been seconds, minute, months even years apart.

    That's ridiculous. Because he doesn't post in forums, then it means it's definitely a sexual thing. Would you think it was sexual if he searched for donkey, bicycle or oven mitt

    Sorry, I didn't make that clear. It sounds totally ridiculous when it's read on it's own!
    Someone had said that maybe he was looking for an innocent pic or something to post on a forum, hence my stating that he doesn't use forums (fora??). I should have quoted the post I was referring to.


    I'm still waiting on my last post to show up.

    Thanks for tech info but he uses Firefox.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    Yes, I suppose that's a possibility. I hope so anyway!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,029 ✭✭✭Lockstep


    Meh, look at his history, thats about it.


    Very young girls is suspect but hardly damning porn evidence.

    Child porn would be more staggering revelation.

    And even at that, I know some guys that would mess about this kinda thing and could 'set' someone up thinking it is funny (clearly it isn't) - Absolutely no proof here what so ever - OP if it is bothering you so much just ask him - if not then leave it go because more than likely its nothing. People are very quick to jump to conclusions here.

    Why dont you ask him?

    rather than digging around in his computer...

    If you have an open communication you can just ask.

    I seen the post you were referring to, what I meant was that there could be any number of non-sexual reasons he was searching for that term.

    Thanks for tech info but he uses Firefox.

    Hold Ctrl and press "H". This will open the history.

    Ya, I'll ask him tomorrow when I see him - might do some snooping first though!

    Thanks and congrats on your 10,000th post, priviledged that you used it on me!

    Paedophilia is the sexual attraction to children. Prepubescence being a requirement. Finding a sexually mature teenage girl physically appealing is normal. Acting on it however, if they're below the age of consent is statutory "rape". People guilty of this crime are not labeled paedophiles or child molesters. Nor are they sick, they're usually just idiots.

    A lot of porn is labeled "Teen". It usually means 18-20 year old girls that happen to look young. It's a pretty innocent thing to be looking at IMO.
    Good post. You will see in videos women 30 odd and then claiming to be "just gone 18". He could seriously have been looking for women/girls of 18-21. People are getting hung up on the word "girl" too, I know women in work of 35-45 who call each other girls. "very" could simply be another filter tool, maybe not.

    It could well have been a joke too, with lads in the house. Also seems a bit of a "father ted" attempt to search for true paedophillia. I know lads who set peoples home pages to dodgy sites as a joke. And lads who are on the laptop, leave the room and come back to a google search like that. Yes it is not a joking matter, and they would probably never joke about it in front of women or people outside their group- I am just saying fact is lads can joke about such things.

    There was a talk show on living today with a real paedophile who had a website giving tips, was very disturbing, chilling comments from him, thought he was doing no real wrong. Thought the host was going to smack him at one stage, the host was the "bouncer" from the jerry springer show, big intense lad.

    Please stop snooping on your boyfriend.
    You should be happy hes doesnt look at porn much or hed be smart enough to search for barley legal [i read it somewhere ;)] and not very young girls.
    He did not mention the word child etc,

    and i would say this thread is being picked up by every anti-paedo police webcrawler out there !

    lockie !

    This is the best and only advice you should take from this thread, be open and dont accuse him when you ask him.

    Have a clear mind and listen to his answer, dont have the answer already in your head!

    Best of luck!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 412 ✭✭paul666


    im not too sure about asking him. i think he should only be approached if u had concrete evidence
    who would admit to looking for that kind of porn


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,215 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Ok, this is assuming that the searches were made by your boyfriend, not his housemates.
    Some of them were harmless enough searches like 'teenies', 'teen pu**y' etc.
    I'd have absolutely no problem with my boyfriend watching porn either, but "teen pussy"? That is not something I'd like to see. And who's to say these teens aren't 15? I'd consider it rather sad of my boyfriend to go searching for sexual imagery featuring females who are barely women. People can reply all they want that it's the norm, but it isn't really. I mean fair enough for a guy to find a mature-looking 16-year-old physically attractive, but she looks older than 16. If a guy finds a "young looking" 16-year-old physically attractive well I'd consider that problematic. And for websites to feature such girls and marketing their young age as one of the chief attractions, well then that is borderline paedophilia.

    As for the "very young girls" thing - it might only mean 17-year-olds but then again it might mean much younger. Anyway, if "very young girls" means 17-year-olds to him, wouldn't they be covered in the "teen pussy" search?

    And considering his use of the above "beautiful" search term, it's naive of posters to suggest that his "very young girls" search is for non-sexual purposes.

    Nothing wrong with teen pu**y - that is a very regular thing out in the porn world.

    So what if it's regular and the "norm"? Doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with it. And how old exactly are these teens?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,382 ✭✭✭✭AARRRGH


    OP can you tell us roughly what age your boyfriend is?

    Like, is he 45? 18?

    Is he a teenager himself?

    Teens i suppose are 18/19 (Teenager and legal) - but the porn world is plastered with 'teen' - guess it turns on people and makes the industry money. Anyways I would see searching for young girls worse than searching for teen this, teen that.

    But yes I think she did mention he was around 30 years old somewhere - I dunno if that makes things worse.

    for the legal above board stuff its 18 19 and (pretending they aint) 20.
    its the non legal "is it CP is it not CP that is the issue."

    Dudess, I have seen women who were blatantly over 30 described as "teens" on websites on the basis of a ponytail, a school skirt and a badly assumed "innocent" expression.

    You have to remember that the world of p0rn, and especially of web p0rn, bears no relationship to reality whatsoever.

    Which is why I partly wonder if the OP or one of his housemates, coming in half-shot one night, and confronted with a few such sites with predominantly mutton dressed as lamb, may have thrown "very young girls" into the search box in frustration, and without really thinking it through.

    I'm sure Humanities would be a better place to get into the morality of the porn industry using the word 'teen' to market their goods, as well as the knock on effect that might have for society. You might also talk about the sexualisation of children and the fact that so many kids have Playboy clothes, etc.

    I could see why you might be concerned about the search term, but tbh if I was looking for child porn and I had no worries about others seeing my previous searches (as he apparantly isn't, if he left them all there), then I would be looking for "naked children", "kiddy porn", and so on. Not an ambiguous term like "very young girls". And considering the rest of his searches are in the "normal" (for porn... enthusiasts) end of the spectrum, I personally would just put it down to a bad choice of words.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    The word "Teen" in porn is synonomous with "girls between the age of 18 and 25".

    I don't know what his motives were, but it's extremely improbable that someone would find child porn using Google. "Very young girls" could easily just be a different way of searching for "teen" porn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,395 ✭✭✭Marksie


    These thread always degenerate into something similar. And its not PI's place to discuss them

    Take it elsewhere and lets see what happens with the OP


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭thebman


    Would he not clear the history if he was searching for something like that?

    I'd imagine most people that look up child porn are paranoid about covering up their tracks, even if they were not very up on technology if you were looking up something like that you'd go out of your way I'm sure. Its not hard to learn how to empty temporary filse and search historys. Hell you can get programs that do it all for you if you were too stupid to work it out for yourself.

    Check the temp Internet files and see whats in there I suppose.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,919 ✭✭✭Bob the Builder


    I note he did not use the word child.
    Yah, child I would imagine would deliver more relative results if thats the sort of stuff he was looking for...

    In any case, I doubt very much that actual paedophilia sites use names like childporn.com or anything as blatantly obvious as that. Would be more ambiguous I'd imagine. You wouldn't find that stuff too easily using google.

    Use of the words 'very young' in the search is a bit questionable but only the person who entered the search term can answer as to what their motives were.


  • Registered Users Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I don't imagine very young girls as a search string is going to land you into any of the nasty.

    There was a time not too long ago when I was 14 with the internet at my disposal, and its very easy to find porn that you assume to be your own age without ever traversing across the truly disturbing stuff. Never once did in my case [come across kiddie porn], and this was using all manner of search terms like pubescent, 14, lolita, etc.

    I understand though the internet is a different beast since then and I imagine if you typed in Pre-Pubescent you land yourself in trouble.

    And he was looking up young girls... and? Porn is about safely satisfying the urge. I don't think you have to worry about him jumping out of the bushes and snatching up children.

    As for 'very young girls' I've heard it all; the worst was someone looking up the snuff, where the girl in question is raped then murdered. Now that is properly disturbing. Very young girls? Reality check!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 375 ✭✭im_invisible


    i searched google for teen porn and all i got was this lousy thread...


    as has been said, you can easily get 30 year olds pretending to be teens, maybe he was lookin for 17/ 18 yo's, ..or maybe he didnt want to enter anything too incriminating onto google

    [typical PI response] talk to him / inform police [/typical PI response]

    im more attracted to 17-20 year olds (young looking women) than more mature girls, when i search for girls of this age by writing 18 year old etc.. you get models that are about 25 an all, sometimes you have to use words like young, teen, girl, etc, i,ve never seen kiddie porn doing this and if by chance i stumbled on a page i would be gone fast-my security center tells you if the site is secure and trutworthy so that helps too. not saying that this is the same as the op but it could be!!

    The thing is, the OP said that her BF isn't computer savy. In that case, would he know for sure that internet porn teens are over 18?

    OP, In think the best advice given is to talk to your BF. It could all be innocent, or he could of just been looking for normal porn. But the only way you'll get a clear answer is by talking to him. Snooping around his computer will just lead to trouble. You have the "child porn" idea in your head now and may end up misreading anything you find to fit that theory.
