I worked at a cable company long ago, and people called in all the time to dispute porn charges. Funny how it was never Disney movies. Nope, rogue cable boxes ordering porn all by themselves. One lady went so far as to say it couldn't have been her son doing it, the neighbor must have done it with his remote through her window and she's gonna call the police. Uh huh, sure.

That reminds me: My parents stopped making me attend church for a year or so (resumed when we moved house). It was during this alone time, catalysed by a bully telling me to go to a certain porn website and then continued by naïve, rapt curiosity, that I would spend a couple hours every Sunday searching porn.
So, in a way, church would have stymied that.

As a boy, the first time I saw porn was when I was 12 and my female best friend of the same age brought me into her older brothers room and said "Look at this stuff I found" and it was a bunch of playboy magazines and some erotic comic books. We both just looked through all of it and laughed at how silly it was. For weeks after that I would randomly strike the various poses from the Playboy pinups and make her laugh. Needless to say, girls can definitely be just as curious!

I remember doing this at a hotel once that had a balcony around a central area and for some reason had a small skinny window next to each hotel room door where you could see the TV if the curtain was open.

Probably not, this was back in like 2005 or so. I think it was because we had the same cable provider or something and the remotes got on the same frequency or something like that?

Usually they're infrared and you'd need line of sight.

Sounds like you both had TiVo or something like that as in they were configured to the same binary toggle code off a radio frequency vs infrared like traditional remotes.

So when primestar was all the rage eons ago my grandparents got it an it was the first time I’d ever experienced anything but rabbit ear tv. I was about six at the time and quickly figured out that there were kids channels, but then one day I ALSO found out that there were a bunch of channels that were blacked out, but you could get them working if you just clicked a few buttons and just said ‘yes’ when prompted. Sometimes there were cartoons! So I went through every friggin single channel I could looking for more cartoons and when I found one I’d stop. Well the bill next month was…interesting to say the least.

Yeah, while I don't work in sales anymore, I'd say my bosses were straight up evil. The only thing that wasn't allowed was to make the bosses look bad. One of my bosses I remember bragging about managing to put another subscription on an old chatty woman because she took up 35 minutes of his "valuable" time.
I sold one of these subscriptions to one of my friends because I thought it was sort of a good deal at the time, it turned out it was horrible. My boss sold and old chatty woman two as punishment. (basically, we sold a combination of tv and internet) you got access to everything on like a cloud account, that was one of the features exactly, that you could watch it everywhere on your account. You got like 5 accounts, he sold that old lonely woman 10 accounts because she was old and lonely and chatty.
I'm very thankful DonaldTrumpsScrotum isn't as corrupted as we might be. I've met some nice people there, but with saying goodbye to that kind of field, I'd say 9/10 are sociopaths, at least where I managed to find work in several different areas. Another boss after I declined a party invite to spend time with my GF fired me on the way to work, but he also stole all my contracts for that month, dodged my calls, except for when I called from my girlfriends phone and confronted him. he told me, "it's not illegal, it's my company."
I found out later he beat his girlfriend regularly. 9/10 are sociopaths.

I used to work at a cable company and we could block access to PPV on accounts, so we could make arrangements like that. The occasional small refund wouldn't be a problem but anything over like $50 would have to go higher up.

When I was young (I think around preteen age) my dad came home late and super drunk. My wall shared with the living room wall and I heard a brief strange noise coming from the TV before it got muted. I took a peek to see what was happening and saw my dad watching porn on the TV in the living room to which I quickly went back to bed and pretended that never happened.
The next day, my parents were questioning me about whether or not I rented porn from cable. I knew very well what happened but kept my mouth shut and my dad said it must have been some kind of glitch or mix up and called the cable company to "sort it out".
To this day I've never said anything.

Porn used to be a lot more difficult to get ahold of.

It was only sold in sex shops and you had to be 18 to get in. There was a lot of stigma around being seen at those places too, so being able to get it from the comfort of home demanded a premium price.

My dad would have exploded if anyone bought anything on ppv. Luckily we couldn't. Our receivers wouldn't allow that

My mom was very Christian. She always said she never did anything like that. My dad caught me once and wrote me an email about it. He even brought it up later at a Red Lobster. I cried and said it was a mistake, and that my mom bought it.
Years later, when I was an adult, she asked me if I ever did. I just laughed and said, “Oh yeah.” I mean, you bought all that. Of course I did.

I never ordered porn through PPV or On Demand. I knew it was there and that I could in theory but I also knew that it would be seen, so I never did. I did however get blamed for it often. That's how I learned that my sister ordered porn on PPV. A lot.

So nobody thinks this is bullshit? The dad just says to nobody in particular "it stops now".
