good lord this is the most terrifying story itt. I saw Kids with my girlfriend and it ruined our day.

think I'm the third poster to reveal they saw Boogie Nights with a parent, which is totally bizarre, it's not like I didn't know what it was about.

Only two VCR movies I recall Dad turning off, when watched as a family:

Coal Miner's Daughter: wedding night scene (painful struggle under the covers) and Pixote (boy gang-raped). Very different scenes of course, but both involve what could be described as the rape of a child (Loretta Lynn was meant to be 13). Don't remember my respective age(s), but younger than 10.

Otherwise parents were pretty liberal re sex and nudity; as I recall the prudishness was on my part, not theirs. (Dimly recall a brief stage when my brother and I would make a point of going "ew" and covering our eyes whenever there was a "kissy" scene.)

Some freudian embarrassment I guess, which persists to this day. Like milo above, watched Black Swan with the parents, thirtysomething, and think I was much more uncomfortable than them (not just lesbian sex scene, but scene of masturbation in bed then discovering mother is in the room).

Pixote is brutal at any age.

so this probably doesn't exactly count, but as a kid I went to see Clash of the Titans in the theater and was keen to note some brief moments of naked boobs and butts despite my mom trying in vain to cover my eyes.

Not long after, I found myself watching Clash of the Titans on tv with one of my friends and my parents. I had surreptitiously let my friend know to be on the lookout for this exciting moment of boobs. Of course, this was broadcast tv, so no such boobs materialized. But at the precise moment of non-boob revelation, my friend turned to me and my parents and angrily decried "NUH UH!". I was properly mortified.

the worst one for me was when the teacher says "her pussy gets so wet" about reese witherspoon in election...my mom walked out of the room and didn't return.

^ i was with sister and parents in cinema for that as well

Biloxi Blues, where Matthew Broderick's character loses his virginity to a prostitute. I was, I think, in high school and watched this with my mum on TV...it was a lighthearted sex scene in what was (iirc) a comedy, but still probably the most SEX SCENE-ish scene I'd ever watched with my parents and yep, super awkward.

titanic is the first one i can remember, although ultimately my dad just got mad about the historical inaccuracies

I also saw Election with my mom. The "her pussy gets so wet" line really wasn't that big of a deal to either of us, but the way it is presented in the film certainly intensifies the shock of the moment. Like, we open with 10 or so minutes of really sunny high school comedy stuff, and then BAM!

"kate winslet's breasts were not that big!"

I remember my dad literally covering my eyes in the theater during Fright Night.

My best friend and I joined his parents to see "Alien" on opening night. We were kids but we ate it up. His parents were mortified. It was rated "R"! What did they expect?

Great thread btw.

Not sex scenes, but even more mortifying: best friend and I chose to rent Cocoon to watch with her parents, forgetting that her mum's father was dying of terminal cancer at the time.

Man I thought you were watching this w/ your teacher annd your mom

DJP needs to retell the story about listening to his parents sexing.

I get surprised at all these stories. I honestly can't remember a sex scene being awkward, it was just something that was in films. We also had posters of naked people hanging in the house, and everyone walked around naked.

There was a sligthly awkward incident recently, where I watched Bridesmaids with my mom. In that scene where the mom complains about having three teenage boys, and how there's semen everywhere in their rooms, my mom laughed way too hard and exclaimed: 'Oh, this is genious!' I stayed quite quiet...

I get more awkward about watching sex scenes now, in my appartment, where the neighbours can hear them (watched A Bigger Splash, recently, for work, which all of a sudden has a very graphic and quite loud gay sex scene. I turned the sound down pretty quickly. It was after midnight, on a workday) With my parents seems like much more of a safe space.

my mum showed me Braindead when I was a teenager and we both howled our way through the zombie sex scene

DJP needs to retell the story about listening to his parents sexing.

jjj could probably tell it too, I think he also experienced this

Y Tu Mama Tambien on Christmas eve is the main one that comes to mind. As I recall, everyone pretended it was no big deal.

Watching the Diaz/Segel movie Sex Tape on a plane, with strangers on both sides, was also in many ways a poor decision.

he listened to your parents sexing?

xpost

I too saw "Clash of the Titans" in the theatre as a kid; my mother took me and my friend. When the breasts appeared, my mother laughed and taught us the word "gratuitous".

xpost: my parents' love was not constrained by pedestrian events like "son having a sleepover"

My parents took us to see "Godfather" at the drive-in when I was five. After that, I don't remember. Tbh my mom was more disturbed by violence. But my grandma walked in on my brother and I watching soft porn on Cinemax, but she wasn't shocked or angry. We just acted like we stumbled on it by accident.

We grew up near a notorious red light district, so you could find hardcore porn magazines in the alley or woods. Best to take a more liberal parenting approach when that's what your kids are growing up with.

My dad made me look away during the innocuous non-nudity in Christmas Vacation.

Then yelled at me for catching me watching Sex and the Single Alien.

And then I got my own VCR and TV so I could watch smut in private, taped Real Sex 18, then mistook said tape for an extra credit video for history and gave it to my teacher.

Hell they even flipped out at the pool scene in Death Becomes Her. I always was more embarrassed by their overreaction than anything.

Omg it's butts

God, when I rented Shame I was waiting for my dad to finish with TV so I could watch it, but he kept sitting there saying "putting on your movie." I waited until like 12:30 in the morning for him to go to sleep so I could start it.

"put on your movie" that is, the implication being he'd watch it too,

that is one big dick in that movie iirc

also one big dick of a movie

God, when I rented Shame

I feel such sadness that 99.4% of the time ppl are not meaning the Bergman film when they say this

would make for a hell of a childhood,

i mean rowr ullman, amirite?

Only Morbs deigns to humblebrag his film knowledge amidst a cacophony of shamefully awkward erect penii.

the bergman film isn't very good either!

/insert nasty comment from morbs here/

haha this thread is gold.

it's like that special episode of Full House where Uncle Jesse got stabbed by Brian Wilson

When I was in high school id watch videos at my friend Jim's house. His father would often join us however if a non-PG rated scene of a sexual nature came on, his father would leap out of his chair, make a beeline to the kitchen calling out to us: 'Coffee? Tea? Bonox? Anyone??'
To this day when I get the vibe that someone is trying to make a move, I can't help but think to myself 'Coffee? Tea? Bonox?'

the bergman film isn't very good either!

Obviously it can't match the exquisite perfection of Back to the Future, but it's still an amazing movie

Didn't watch it with my father but many years ago I lent him my copy of Oshima's In the Realm of the Senses (can't recall for the life of me how that came about or what possessed me to do this). When I asked him what he thought of it he just said it was "good".

"good egg"

I watched Leaving Las Vegas with my mom when I was a teenager. I’ve never recovered and it’s never been discussed.

I share the sentiment that I’m way more of a prude than my parents.

To this day when I get the vibe that someone is trying to make a move, I can't help but think to myself 'Coffee? Tea? Bonox?'

lol

had to google bonox. what the fuck.

i missed one: i got taken to see Black Robe in the theater, so i would have been in 8th or 9th grade. there's some doggystyle in a teepee iirc. the theater was pretty crowded; p sure there was some uncomfortable coughing.

i was more freaked out by the guy getting his finger cut off with a broken oyster shell.

terrific movie btw, a fave of the whole family.
