Comments on: A Sight One Cannot Unsee

Your parents are always your parents, and regardless of how open you can be with them about sex (and frankly, I’ve never felt a need to be all that open with my parents about sex… my business, their business, the twain shall never meet) I am not a big fan of seeing parents as just any old jerk walking the street. It seems like a terrible loss, to me, to ignore the unique relationship you have with the people who brought you into the world and nurtured you to adulthood, and if the only “reward” is being able to relate to them as sexual creatures… well, what, really, is the benefit of that? The world is full of people I don’t relate to sexually, and I’m perfectly happy with my parents and my children being among them, regardless of how openly we are able to talk about sexual matters.

Sure Anthony, that would be ideal.

I hope that when my kids see me like that some day, they will compliment me. And I hope that if I ever see them that way, I can take a deep breath and say something polite and supportive.

Unfortunately, when we become used to seeing someone in a certain way, it’s hard to break out of that viewpoint. I’m not saying that it’s right, just that it seems to be a fact of life.

Maybe if we discuss it (not the same as whining about it, btw), more people will be comfortable with thinking of their parents as sexual beings.

Whine, whine, whine!

So what if they’re discussing sex? Or even if he gets to see pictures of his mom at her sexiest? The proper course is to compliment her on it – just like he would on her cooking if she made him lunch.

At a certain point, you have to grow up out of treating your parents like parents, and move into treating them as adults that you happen to know and have spent a lot of time with.

I would not want to see my parents in anything less than fullly dressed.

But I do have a fond memory of my father and I oggling the same half dressed HS girls at Burger King one evening.

…I cannot even imagine.

I think in this case ignorance really is bliss!

Some sights I do not even want to think about, let alone have to suffer the pain of seeing!

That thought certainly crossed my mind. This is one time that I want to be a family that does NOT discuss sex.

Hey Alice, have you considered that he ran his address book and YOU showed up?

My son and I are also on the same adult site. Only he doesn’t know it (I hope). I used their service where you run your address book to find friends and he came up. No, I didn’t invite him or say anything to him and I haven’t seen his page. We have always been able to have honest and frank discussions about sex, but seriously…uh no.
