You might find me a bit prudish but I could not believe what one young lady was browsing online in one of these internet cafes. Since it was my first time to go to that net cafe, the net attendant had to accompany me to where I should sit and she brought me to the farthest end of the place where a young lady, about 20, was doing her internet thing at the very end of the cafe. The attendant seated me next to her and while I was responding to discussions here I accidentally had a glimpse of her monitor and guess what? I saw what I shouldn't see. She was viewing a man who was showing himself to her and in fact he looked like he was playing with himself. I was instantly ashamed for having looked. It's like I was the one who violated the cafe's rule prohibiting the viewing of pornographic sites. What was the lady thinking?

I don't find you prudish at all. There was something wrong with that lady. She shouldn't be doing that on a public place. Yes you are entitled to your privacy when using a computer inside an internet cafe but such private matter should be done at the comfort of your home where nobody can take a glimpse of what you're doing. She's really brave to be doing that in a public place. If i were in your position i would have felt embarrassed too.

I actually would have been offended if I came across that and I am definitely not a prude! In a public place there should be a level of decency that people should maintain. I can understand if she was in here home and you passed by her residence and accidently saw that. That is a different story. But in a public place? She should be ashamed of herself!

I am glad that there are other girls of the same opinion as mine.

I must they that everyone is free to do what ever he or her wants. The big problem here is that is in a public place. But if in that internet cafe are allowed only people over 18 years old then she has rights to do really what she wants. I know it is strange but think that we all do things that can be strange for others.

I just couldn't believe that a sweet-looking girl could be buying that kind of thing.

Over here, she and the cafe would have been fined with an ASBO. It's displaying offensive material in a public place which is illegal - tis why naughty mags are packaged the way they are with lickle stars over the nips and big black stickers over the mens naughty bits. Or is that stickers over big black mens naughty bits ...

If she had done it on her own computer, I don't see anything wrong in it. Not that there is anything wrong in doing those kind of thing in the Internet Cafe either. The only thing is: Isn't she scared of being seen by others like you did? If I were in her shoes, I would literally die of embarassment. Whether she is old enough or not, or the cafe rules , or whatever it is, I don't think I would dare to do in cafe.

My thoughts also because what if a child happens to be there or elders. At any rate in private would be ideal, I suppose.

Maybe she happen to stumble on the site in error and then decided to see what it was all about. I don't think anyone should really do that in public and or a net cafe either. I have no issues with people doing so at all just not there, what if a child was walking by. I did not think this was allowed in a public place.

If it were me, I would close the site pretty fast. Yeah, probably would check what the site is all about in my bedroom - hey, I'm curious too....

hi there. i know it feels weird, because i see some people doing that too, i even saw my relative one time hehehe because her husband left her for some other woman so maybe it is her way of finding a new man for her, but i didn't see her doing something really bad nor the guy at the computer she was talking to. i just saw her showing her body by standing up and like doing some sway, and bend etc hahahahah it was funny actually but well i see nothing wrong about that. but if it is something like what you saw, oh dear! i can see they can do whatever they want but maybe they can do that somewhere else, somewhere more private, not just inside an internet cafe but then again, if your place is like more liberated and just open to that kind of things, well ummmm i don't really know, but because people here are more conservative

Hi. Cutie18f. I find this not only weird, but I find this very perverted too. She was the one that was violating the cafe's rule, not you. Yes, what was she thinking? She could have been caught and prohibited from visiting this cafe ever again. If she wanted to look at something like this, it should have been in her own private time. Especially, when she is not around the general public. I still think that it is slack to watch a man just play with himself while he is on the computer.

hi cutie^^; well, you haven't violated her privacy and i don't think she is weird but she has more serious mental problem. whether it's the cafe's rule or not to open pronographic site but i think its an ethic to be discrete with this kinds of acts in public and to think she is a lady?? well, some sweet-looking girls aren't that sweet at all...

Here is my opinion on this. Whatever you want to do in the privacy of your own bedroom, with the door shut and with no one else around, fine, go nuts. Just be prepared to deal with anything that might come with it, any viruses that might get put on your computer for viewing such websites. However, a public place kind a cafe is an entirely different mess to say the very least. There are people there that really do not really want to see that and that might include children as well. So yeah do it in your own home, on your own time, but not in public. Especially when it is kind of against the rules.

Everyone is entitled to look at whatever they please online, however in a public place when the computer being used is not your property a little restraint should be used. It is tacky to have those sorts of activities displayed for everyone else to see. You should not feel ashamed by someone else and their lack of courtesy.
