^^ This. Especially the bolded. I would hope that 1) my daughters wouldn't take it upon themselves to investigate their dad, and that 2) if they came across something like that, they would close the browser and turn their minds to something else. Adults/parents deserve their privacy. We have earned it.A lot of good, decent people struggle with inappropriate content usage or even addiction. You may have caught him in a moment of weakness. Even very religious people struggle with this temptation. A story I once heard from a Priest was that a young monk asked a wise older monk "when do the sexual temptations stop?" And the older monk answered "About five minutes after they bury you."
The point is that it is not surprising your father struggles with this. As his daughter, I'd say you are about the worst person to try and talk with him about it. I would suggest not bringing the issue up with either parent unless it happens again.
You say you're an agnostic. Maybe you could try to pray for your father to receive the graces of chastity and fidelity. Chastity doesn't mean he doesn't have sex or sexual thoughts, only that he will direct them in the appropriate direction: towards his wife.
