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

an important part of cinema, growing up

haha, the godfather part i cene when scene when sonny fucks lucy in some bedroom during his sister's wedding. i was probably 14. my mom suddenly said "this is rated r, i don't think you should be watching this" and i had to go in the other room while everyone else watched the movie

watched the entirety of 9 1/2 weeks with my father and after a certain point we basically just started studiously ignoring each other

also watched Body Heat together

basically one of my dad's favorite things was introducing his sons to cinematic sex

the red violin

it was shortly after I'd been in college and I'd played the violin throughout high school and I think I made some comment about how it'd take a lot of concentration to get the bowing right

Watched The Wicker Man with my parents, aged about 16, and have had to deal with my father making random, inappropriate "And what does the MAYPOLE symbolise!?" jokes for the rest of my fucking life.

i'm sure there are more but i vividly remember Doc Hollywood boobs in the theater with my dad

(It didn't help that my Mum's church used to regularly do a Maypole festival every year while I was growing up.)

the scene in Airplane! when the naked female passenger runs across the screen - v. uncomfortable

Saw American Beauty and Enemy at the Gates with my parents in the theater. The former features an extended topless scene with Mena Suvari (but not an actual sex scene as far as I remember) and the latter has an actual sex scene, and it's super awkward too. We dealt with it the way we do with anything we'd rather not talk about, by suppressing it and not talking about it afterwards.

excellent thread idea

I was a commune kid, my mom took us to see Kentucky Fried Movie in the 70's, I couldn't have been more than 13. the ticket taker looked at her skeptically and said "you know this move is rated R, right"? she never said anything afterwards (note: there is an extended and bad sex scene) but I think she might have regretted it. we had no shame anyway, Joy Of Sex lying around the house and all that.

other memorable "whoa" moments include Excalibur, Body heat, and the Heavy Metal Movie (my stepfather: "those women weren't very realistic")

terminator!!

i dealt with it by becoming a deer in linda hamilton's headlights

and we never spoke of it

Revenge of the Nerds with my older sister and my Mom. I was 12.

I can't even remember what movie it was, but I remember burying my face in the couch.

~~freudian~~

My parents made me leave Teen Wolfe when the girls were wrestling in shaving cream. :(

Too many to mention as an adult but my MO is that when I sense a sexy scene coming up I use it as an opportune time to use the bathroom or go make a drink.

Things that I thought my dad would find funny and started to watch with him but soon remembered how filthy they were and had to switch them off include Superbad and Eastdown and Down.

we got a VHS in the early 80s and Saturday night was usually random inappropriate video that my dad thought looked good night. i got a lot of practice in at staring fixedly at the screen and everybody ignoring each other. occasionally the film would get stopped, usually for excessive swears or violence tbh, but mostly we just got on with it.

i remember a great blaxploitation prison boxing movie called Penitentiary that had some pretty explicit conjugal visit scenes, but i must have watched a ton of X rated stuff, especially before the British Board of Film Censors started cutting videos. uncomfortable silences broken by the occasional wisecrack from my dad was the norm tbh

Movies that You Feel Uncomfortable Watching with Your Parents...

xxpost - lol wolf not wolfe

killer nun was just played on repeat with the curtains closed while mum got drunk

my dad claims that he took his mom to see Psycho at the cinema

I can't even remember what movie it was, but I remember burying my face in the couch.

I mean, I've watched Bad Santa with my dad so I don't really know why those other things seemed worse but they did somehow.

recently i saw the black book with my parents because they'd just been to amsterdam and i had kinda forgotten how many long, lingering shots of naked breasts there were

I remember getting very confused when my dad discovered the dubbed tape of Porky's I'd been watching incessantly and how he lectured me about how terrible it was about women and sex; I think he was more offended that they weren't taking sex seriously than anything else.

Bull Durham: everybody in my family loved this movie and i know we watched it a bunch. i'm pretty sure everyone just tried to be cool about it. my folks weren't strict or anything. and it is funny and 'literary' so it met their standard for snobby entertainment. i know later there was a story about a friend of theirs who wanted to watch it with her own (elderly) parents because in her memory it was just a great funny baseball movie and all the stuff about susan sarandon in a garter belt or kevin costner waxing on about cocks and pussies had left her brain totally. until...

The Big Easy: i'm pretty sure i watched this with my parents and a whole other family? maybe just my mom, and another married couple, who would get together for movie nights every now and again. again i think everybody just tried to be cool, i think i must have been an older teenager, maybe even 'of age' if this matters at all (for the purposes of discomfort it really doesn't fyi). luckily ellen barkin does keep her clothes on.

Double Impact*: i don't remember which "JCVD" movie it was exactly, but after my folks split up my mom and i watched a bunch of them. i was a martial arts nerd and thought she was indulging me and i didn't really get what her angle was until reflecting on it much later. anyway i think it's double impact which has a really gratuitous slomo sex scene with bad music, basically the worst possible. i think my mom just said something like "well!" after it.

Dona Flor and her Two Husbands: this happened when i was a kid, i wasn't actually watching it, but wandered in when my parents were. the lines of dialogue i heard were: "how is she?" "who?" "your pussy!" and my dad leapt off the couch to stop the VCR. i've never seen this movie.

A History of Violence and Eastern Promises: my mom loves these movies. we watched them both in a row last christmas. really wasn't a big deal. maria bello in cheerleader gear, viggo knifing a dude with his dong out, all totally natural.

c. 13 years old cape fear cheek bite rape with high school friend's mum

lol I showed Bad Santa to my parents, too

maria bello in cheerleader gear, viggo knifing a dude with his dong out, all totally natural.

as one does

oh god i forgot i made my dad take me to see Kids in the theater. big mistake in about fifty ways, at the time or ever

oof

watched 'do the right thing' with my mom

yeah that got pretty ugly afterwards, shit

xp

my dad claims that he took his mom to see Psycho at the cinema

― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Wednesday, February 19, 2014

my dad & mom did this! my mom said she hid her face in her hands the whole time

I saw Coming to America with my parents, with the famous opening hottub scene. I think I was slightly pre-adolescent at the time.

when I saw ghostbusters at age 9 and there's that scene where akroyd dreams about the sexy chick ghost giving him a spectral blowjob and his eyes cross, I had no idea what the hell was going on (haha how embarrassing she's pulling his pants off) but I remember my dad saying "uh oh!" and looking like he'd made a huge mistake showing us the movie.

I saw JFK with my parents and there wasn't any "sex" beyond Costner and spacek having a go at it after RFK got shot but that scene where tommy lee jones, pesci, and k-bacon are hanging out in powdered wigs (actually TLJ was covered head to toe in gold paint) smacking the hell out of each other and pesci shouting at TLJ "you're mine Mary!" or whatever was pretty awkward to watch.

teenaged me and my parents in a hotel room, watching the Accused.

Purple Rain w/ Dad

Heh. We were watching Ghostbusters with my kid the other night and I naturally averted my eyes at the dream sequence.

I remember going to see both Kramer vs. Kramer and The Shining in theaters with my parents, at age 10 and 11 respectively, and both featured full-frontal female nudity, which I don't think they expected. They were pretty sanguine about it, though.

Both my parents were pretty cool about that kind of thing, looking back. Heck, my mother took me to see Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip when I was 13. Frankly, by then, my parents were divorced, my mother was working nights and my sister and I consumed much worse fare on cable pretty much all the time.

i watched Top Gun at a friend's house in grade school. when the big "take my breath away" business happened my friend was covering up his face but still watching through his fingers and giggling like an idiot, and his mom (who was otherwise ignoring us) suddenly was coming into the room saying "i don't know about this, boys" but didn't make us fwd it or anything. i thought their reaction was way weirder than what was happening onscreen. i'm pretty sure i'd seen it already, and i know my friend had, he had the damn tape. i got the feeling they did this everytime he watched it. they were pretty religious.

Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian (where Conan sleeps w a witch who tries to kill him and flies away in ghost form).

i watched the hell out of both of those as a kid but my parents weren't into movies with swords

except the branagh henry v. unless brian blessed has his ass out i think that's pretty vanilla.

National Lampoon's European Vacation was my favorite movie when I was a kid and it's filled with sex jokes but I think that I mostly watched it alone or pretended just not to get them. Also, boobs.

I think my parents cared less about things like boobs and references to sex then they did about some other things. For instance, I wasn't allowed to watch "You Can't Do That on Television" or MTV because they were "gross".

I think they were just inconsistent in the strictness.

Never stupid enough to watch more-than-PG films with my parents, but I do have: one of Gilda Radner's SNL characters talking about 'penis envy' when I was 11 and watching it with my dad; was genuinely worried he didn't know what penis envy was (and embarrassed). Also VERY QUICK FAST-FORWARD of Darling Nikki on Purple Rain cassette in grandfather's car.

I nagged my mom into letting me watch Fatal Attraction (which my parents had already seen in theatres), which she finally agreed on with the condition that she watch it with me and that we discuss it afterwards. I suppose this is a fair practice, but when your first Talk About Sex is the result of having just watched Michael Douglas and Glenn Close fuck on a kitchen counter ("you know, that's not how people really have sex" is a phrase forever burned into my memory), it kind of puts most other awkwardnesses that one will encounter in their lives into some perspective.

lol dying

yeah your mom burned you pretty good there

Ever since I was a kid, when I watched a movie with my mom that included a couple showering, she would say things like, "That doesn't really work. Looks fun, but it's not."

I remember an SNL skit where Phil Hartman played Frank Sinatra reading Madonna's "Sex" book for a book-on-tape, and he just kept saying "I like my vagina" over and over again and the channel was changed.

oh man that Hartman/"Sex" sketch is a good one

One thing I find kind of amusing in light of my Fatal Attraction memory is that it was hardly the first time I'd seen sex, or at least nudity, on screen. We were always watching stuff like the Vacation films and A Fish Called Wanda. It's fuzzy, but I even sorta remember watching one of the Porky's films with my parents. I suppose there might have been an presumption of "most the dirty stuff will go right over the kids' heads" at work here, but I also wonder if there isn't a belief that comedy makes things more palatable. I dunno.

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.

the scene in Airplane! when the naked female passenger runs across the screen - v. uncomfortable

went to see airplane at the cinema with my mum, and the plastic automatic pilot blowjob scene was much more awkward viewing than a brief glimpse of boobies

i've told this story before but when i was eight my family took me to see 'ghost,' which i found completely bewildering and impossible to understand because a) my mom covered my eyes during all the 'important' scenes and b) i'd thought we were going to see 'ghost dad' and kept wondering when bill cosby was going to show up.

hahahaha

My younger sister and I watched an episode of "Wiseguy" in which Steven Bauer and Martika have sex, and Mom, annoyed, says, "What a bad actress. She can't even fake it well."

zero recollection of doing this but i yelled "they're naked!" in a movie theater during an r rated viewing of Excalibur. apparently to great enjoyment of the audience.

oh yeah! Our 10th grade English teacher, a Marist brother, showed us Excalibur but forgot to fast forward through Arthur's dad's fuck session in armor.

My parents never watched movies, something that was inexplicable to them as it was to me, so there never were any uncomfortable film situations. But there was one time involving "Weekend," the NBC news program with Lloyd Dobbins (and later Linda Ellerbee). There was an extremely intense segment once about incest and child sexual abuse, and my mother jumped up and changed the channel when a young woman recalling her childhood said "...and then he started masturbating himself on me..." I guess I would have been 11 or so?

My French girlfriend at the time and I took my dad and his then girlfriend to see Marquis. I think my dad's gf weas a little unsettled by the experience.

me too

I don't remember inviting you

he sat behind you guys making moaning sounds

In a dog mask.

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

spoiler warning, guys

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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43wE6j_0Bc8

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?

http://somecamerunning.typepad.com/some_came_running/2015/03/my-own-inappropriate-viewing.html

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

also the murdering and stuff

Early in my pubescence the 'rents took me (and sis, 2 yrs younger) to a double bill of the Streisand comedy For Pete's Sake and the Faulkner adap The Reivers (a re-release) w/ Steve McQueen. Both have prostitution scenes! FPS just skated by, but when the cathouse visit in Reivers came along they took us home.

The Coming to America bath scene with both my parents there, don't remember feeling more flushed at almost anything in my life

oh god i forgot i made my dad take me to see Kids in the theater. big mistake in about fifty ways, at the time or ever

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

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.

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.
