sex scenes you watched with your parents and how did you deal with that

but uhm don't think we actually watched any in my pre-high school days cuz if we were watching a movie and clothes came off my dad would shout "CLOSE YOUR EYES" and periodically interject "keep em closed" while my brother and I snuck peeks.

initially misinterpreted this thread as sex scenes you watched containing your parents and started dry-heaving

― Neanderthal,

doesn't DJP have an anecdote he once shared?

http://replygif.net/thumbnail/951.gif

My parents were pretty liberal about this stuff so nudity or whatever in movies wasn't a big deal. But we did watch The Man Who Fell to Earth together when I was maybe 14 (sex scene involving a pistol, among other things), and I remember the next day my dad saying something like, "You know, that's not really a normal kind of sex..."

When I was a baby I watched this dude masturbate

I was cool with it & he didn't seem bothered so hey

my parents kind of acted prudish around me watching sex-related stuff - I remember my dad expressing disappointment in me for watching "Sex and the Single Alien" once. They also waited a long time to have the sex talk until I was almost in junior high, by then I'd learned all kinds of wrong info from my best friend such as you impregnate women by sticking your finger in their hoohah and that sperm is an organ in your chest. fortunately our mandated-sex ed class righted those wrongs.

I later learned it was more because my mom was prudish and that my dad was actually a fairly dirty all man all this time...he just waited for me to become an adult to reveal that.

I wasn't allowed to watch "You Can't Do That on Television"

Me neither! So completely random in light of the things they apparently had no problem letting me watch.

I saw Boogie Nights with my grandparents. Which was infinitely less uncomfortable than watching Paul Rudd's not-exactly-a-sex-scene mirror bit in Wanderlust with my mom.

i remember seeing My Stepmother Is An Alien with my parents in the theater when I was nine or thereabouts... there's that weird, kind of comical sex scene right at the beginning, I think. i didn't really know what was happening but it was awkward. don't think we discussed it afterwards. what a terrible movie!

x-post - We are not alone in this! I've met several people over the years who weren't allowed to. I mean, they let me watch those horndogs on 3's company reruns but not some teenage yahoos getting slimed? IDGI. I've always thought maybe it was the Barth Burgers (which literally thought until just now when I Googled it was "Barf Burgers") thing. I mean, that was pretty gross but still.

I did not mean to say "I mean" there 2x.

ha, i think i'm always going to feel awkward whenever a sex scene appears with somebody else around. i can't help it, sex was just wasn't mentioned at all in my family and i grew up in a pretty strict catholic family. my wife did too. my wife and i watched "before the devil knows you're dead" the other day and the first scene is PSH fucking marisa tomei and we're both making awkward jokes like "heh heh, you think we rented the wrong movie?" "i didn't know it was going to be THAT kind of film heh heh"

i remember seeing My Stepmother Is An Alien with my parents in the theater when I was nine or thereabouts.

A parent who exposed children or other relatives to this movie deserves life without parole.

haha i think they just knew my brother and i loved ghostbusters. isn't it just a goofy family comedy once the sex scene is out of the way?

a goofy family comedy in which Kim Bainsger's talking, glowing purse has magic powers

I went through a phase of making my dad take us to '40s films noir at the U of M film society when I was 12. Old movies subject to the MPPC saved me from many potential parental embarrassments.

xp she's from space! anything goes, alfred.

For instance, I wasn't allowed to watch "You Can't Do That on Television" or MTV because they were "gross".

Me neither, but in our case, it was because the kids were too mouthy/"bad" and I think we weren't supposed to get any ideas.

I watched Pretty Woman with my mom once and she made me close my eyes during the oral on grand piano scene--I was maybe in high school or college? I think she told me I would understand once I got married.

weird, I have zero memory of this Ghostbusters sex scene and I must've seen that movie a million times.

i don't think i remembered it either until re-watching recently. it seems like it is flown in from another movie altogether.

Went to see The Wolf of Wall Street with my mom! I'm 39, but still, it got so bad I left the theater to make a phone call!

Dad took my sister and I to see Basic Instinct. We almost left like 3 separate times but ended up sticking it out.

*me not I

My dad rented Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Sex and inexplicably decided it'd be great for a Fun Family Movie Night -- I think I was 12 or 13. I can't remember which scene it was that caused my parents to leave the room in disgust (although they'd found it funny up to this point), but I'm pretty sure it was when the giant boob made its first appearance.

Is that really what you left the theatre to do, van wanko?

Related anecdote: I once got in trouble for calling my sister a "slut." I didn't know what the word meant, but I'd heard it on The Golden Girls and it sounded funny. It didn't help that I did this in front of company.

I did this too, stealing an Ackroyd line from early SNL (I was probably 7 or 8) and saying "Mom, you ignorant slut." Oops.

are you still grounded?

I think she told me I would understand once I got married.

lol at your mom saying this when you were a teen!

Friend of mine took his mom to see Black Swan because he'd heard it was good but had not heard about cunnlingus and post-cunnilingus mouth wiping.

I am not sure how I feel about it but I think my mom would be more comfortable watching a movie with adult content in it with me in the room? My dad just seems like such an awkward weirdo about sex.

xp I saw Black Swan with a friend and her coworker and her coworker said "eww" at that!

The Ghostbusters scene was totally lost on me at the time (one of my most vivid childhood memories is my parents renting it for me and us all watching it on a Saturday afternoon in '86 or so).

A few years later, my family all went to see Great Balls of Fire on it's opening weekend; it was PG-13 but does have a sexytime sequence with Quaid & Ryder (playing a minor). Went right by me. The spousal abuse stuff was more scandalizing.

When I was in my early 20s, I took my parents to see a revival of Last Tango In Paris. Could have been worse, but not something I would do again.

as a kid i knew that scene coded as "sexy time" but i had no clue what was supposed to be happening

i'm still a little iffy tbh

Watching it now, and knowing how prudish the MPAA is/was, I'm amazed they let a film wherein a character attempts to devirginize a 13 year old only to find it's already been done slide with a PG-13.

devirginize his 13 year old *cousin* no less

a friend of mine has a story about going to see Pink Flamingos with his entire graduating high school class. it was a small private school so this about about 30 kids tops. he and his two close friends were going to sneak off from some final school get-together and go see it in a theater. word got out and in a spirit of class togetherness everyone wanted to go to the cool movie. my friend and his friends repeatedly warned them that it was a gross and weird film but they were undeterred. they then made the newbs promise not to think badly of them after they'd seen it. they broke the promise.

My dad was the worst for this. We rented "Adventures in Babysitting," and in the first scene Elisabeth Shue is getting dressed along to music and to him that signaled "sex comedy" and he made us turn it off. I kept screaming "It's a Spielberg movie!" Even thinking about it now, it's like rage rage rage rage rage

lol at your mom saying this when you were a teen!

I didn't date in hs or college, all my friends were from church, and we weren't allowed to watch movies, so she probably wasn't that far wrong in thinking I wouldn't understand the implications. I knew it was "sex" but I can't remember if I realized that him going down on her was a) happening or b) considered more scandalous.

eh, that's fair, I didn't really date during that period all that much myself

but still, moms!

worst movie to see with your grandma when you're 12?

I came home for Christmas when I was 18 after my first season of living in a city. I remembered that all the weekly papers had been talking up Happiness in their year-end lists so I picked it at the video store and we watched it, me and my mom and stepdad and my brothers (12, 16). The sex in that movie ramps up so slowly that it's breathtaking, my step-father watched the whole movie with his hand outstretched to turn the film off but he couldn't, it was such a car-crash of a family movie and even now that we're all adults we still haven't talked about it.

i watched boogie nights with my dad :-/

The only movie I ever saw with my grandmother was Ghost, in the cinema along with my sister. I was about 7 I think. She was quite proper and I think we may have persuaded her to let us see it. When the pottery scene got going I remember feeling extremely awkward watching with her next to me, and I could tell that she knew we were watching something a little more adult than she had envisaged, but she pretended not to be bothered.

Think I've told this story somewhere else but am pretty sure I watched basic instinct w/ my parents when I was 7 or 8, and all I remember is the scene with the screwdriver?

in retrospect i realized i saw a lot of movies/read a lot of books that had sex in them, but often when i was too young to comprehend what was happening. i think my mind just blocked them out, or passed them over. in other words, i was too young to be scandalized. the first movie is saw (with my mom! and several of her friends and their kids!) where i was made uncomfortable by the sex was "born on the 4th of july."

Also some Chinese movie where the girl kills a guy she's making out with by stabbing him in the spine with a spiked hairpiece she removes from her 'do

i think my mom was mostly oblivious to what i was watching and reading--either that or just sublimely unconcerned. so i watched stuff like "blue velvet" when i was pretty young (11?). it was all so uneventful that i don't think i have a single good story to tell along these lines.

My dad swears that he accidentally took his teetotalling Texas Methodist mom to see Psycho.

she must have been scandalized by all the drinking
