I'm asking this because one of the owners brothers who sits at a very open desk sometimes watches porn at work. Now I'm not asking for advice as to what to do legally, but just trying to figure out why some guys would watch porn at work, in the open, where everyone can see? And not to mention, why with the legal implications it can cause, him getting fired and sued along with the company getting sued? I'm not planning on suing, because I enjoy my job and where I work, but it made me very uncomfortable yesterday to pass his desk and see that on the monitor.

Well, Jessie, I'm not Christian, he's Jewish, but that holds no bearing to me on what people do. It's just about common sense. And the boss (one of the bosses), his brother, sits right next to him. I'm 100% positive that he knows it goes on.

A lot of times, they may do it, because they are living in a fantasy World, and believe that if "you" see it, (I assume your female), that you will get "turned on" and maybe proposition him out! Until the Boss catches him, or some one drops the dime on him, he will continue to live like this, in his own little world.
Tell him your offended and he will take offense that your "not" turned on, and start to hassle you, because he will think your his enemy! Just avoid him and do not make eye contact, and let it be known around the office that you find it distastefull, but, dont approach him about it, because you dont want confrontation.
The Boss will eventually get wind of it, and if it goes on too long, then you may bring it up, but, wait for the reaction of everyone else first. They may be waiting for you to start an "action" if your the leader type, and they are followers...
You can be subtle about it and drop some Christian tracts on his desk while no one is watching, (if you get in the office first), and he may really get an eye opener after reading them!
I wish you well...
Jesse

I suggest that everyone in that office who is offended, grab a chair and sit there and watch it with him! Make a few comments or suggestions about what's being done(critical ones)! When the brother-owner sees that everyone is sitting there not getting any work done, maybe he will realize it's just not good business!

Because they are men and visual
Because their wives/girlfriends aren't there to judge or yell at them
Because they can.
This could be construed as creating a hostile working environment, perhaps you should mention to him that 1-you can see what he is looking at and 2-if you were a b*tch, you would initiate a lawsuit and 3-the other woman who see it may not be so understanding.

I don't watch porn at work. I don't even watch porn at home. However, reading and seeing how some of the school girls are dressing and talking now a days, it looks like they are watching porn more then the guys.

The words sex addict come to mind. Or maybe just a pervert. Looking for reactions from others. God bless

i know that situation. it's annoying....and i never worked out why they do it. but i saw a program on telly about guys who are addicted to porn. especially internet porn. one guy even said, that he downloads it all in the office, burns it on cd and brings it home do 'release' himself at home...
