My father is very secretive. Should I confront him with this?
  • Fantasy and reality

    First, I have to wonder about LW's age. If this is a teenager, it will be hard for him to just forget about it. But I don't think talking to his father -- "confronting him" -- is going to do anything more than create more problems.

    I just wanted to say I enjoy some porn that is about things I would never want to do in real life, things that many people would find shocking if they took it seriously. But there is a big difference between fantasy and reality. Take it out of the sexual area and think about the things we read or watch for entertainment, and weather these depict things we actually want in our real lives. Now I know gay porn is more likely to indicate something he actually has a desire to do, but perhaps like many (slightly) bisexual men, he will leave it in the realm of fantasy.
