Should I say something?

this is a bit of a weird situation. iv been using my brothers laptop during the weekend for work for my masters as i didnt bring mine home and i wasnt snooping but iv found some weird stuff on it. when you type in your website in the search bar, i was typing youtube and it came up that he had been on youporn. the stuff he had searched was a bit weird.. a lot of mom and son stuff. also when i was googling stuff he had been searching for prostitutes in the city we live in. he's just 19 and i dont know if i should say or do anything...help!

no i wouldnt but thats just me.

if it was really really weird and sick - like non consenting adults, violence etc i would have said something like - you shouldnt be looking at that it isnt good for you.

but mom and son is probably just a fantasy about older women not your actual mother.

many single men visit prostitutes. maybe he should visit another country for that, where prostitution is legal and regulated rather than here where it is not, and is more likely to exploit women.

you could ask him about this by asking him in a non judgemental way -that you were thinking of using a prostitute or your friend was and what did he think.

dont judge him, gain his trust and encourage him to open up and influence him gently.

I wouldn't say anything because it's not really nice of you to have been snooping on his machine and not respecting his privacy. Fantasies don't necessarily say anything about real life anyhow. They're just fantasies. Regarding the prostitute stuff he was probably just being curious to see what it's all about. I wouldn't say anything to him about finding this stuff, he may lose trust in you.

in reality every fella checks out porn on the net...usually anything that comes into our heads..the mom and son thing is definatley the older woman thing and the prostitute thing is just curiosity it might have even been a link on another website that he clicked on

Might not even have been him that looked up some of the stuff. I know when my mates come over they use my laptop and look up some strange stuff, mainly just to learn about it or to shock me etc. Mostly its just a laugh or curiosity or maybe it was just a link from different website that was clicked on by accident. I wouldnt say anything to him as long as you didnt find disturbing stuff such as children or rape etc.

leave him to it. maybe pop a pack of condoms in his locker
