It looks like the Navy SEALs checked under the mattress: A cache of pornographic videos was found at Osama bin Laden's compound, officials tell Reuters, which calls the collection "fairly extensive." It's not clear whether bin Laden was the one who acquired or watched the videos, and officials did not know where in the hideout the porn was found. Reuters notes that the compound had no access to the Internet or other hard-wired communication networks, but it apparently did have video playback equipment, which was used by Osama to watch coverage of himself.
