How do you tell your mom that porn isn't “that bad”?

My mom is by no means “a religious nutcase” but she and her parents always saw porn, masturbation, and oral as bad. In HS, she always told me “dont do anything you have no business doing.” OR “We dont go down there *points* on anyone. Mouths dont belong there.” But yea aside from that, i pretty much never got the sex talk. She still thinks I’m a virgin and i used to blamed her boyfriend for the porn I accidentally bought on tv. So i had to hide my sexcapades and past porn addiction from her. Anyways, she read my sisters journal today and saw it said “You will not watch porn again.” I laughed on the inside. My mom freaked out and was like “She cannot be watching porn! I will go to jail if the police monitor what she's watching.” Lmao. I didn't know what to say. I just laughed. But my mom is legit clearing all the history rn and thinking of taking my sisters devices away. 🤣

  • Show her the porn where cops fuck the detainees and she'll go crazy 😂😂😂.

    If she thinks porn lands her in jail, get her some legal knowledge.

    But the best thing to do is to leave her alone to her , she's an adult and why change her?
    You and your siblings can always move out.

    Actually her dislike towards it is quite ironical.

    • Ironic how

    • You have, in your previous posts said about how she gave more attention to her boyfriends rather than you, in your childhood. So she definitely knows the power of sexual needs and yet she bashes a safe way to get off.

    • Lmao exactly. Maybe thats why i just laughed cause i wanted to say that to her but i didn't. Like at least we’re watchin porn quietly. She was moaning and we had to hear her havin sex

  • Honestly, my sex life (and yes, that includes watching porn) is none of my mothers business! Not everyone who watches porn will become an addict, just like not everyone who drinks alcohol will become an alcoholic. Some people just have addictive personalities. Although I really do feel bad for those who become addicted, I don’t see what that has to do with me. I don’t watch it that much, and I never have. I don’t feel “driven” or “compelled” to watch porn, basically I could take or leave it. I do enjoy it but, it is most definitely none of my mothers business either way!

    • Yea but not she thinks its gonna send someone to jail lol

    • Well, there’s definitely no porn I’m jail… Lott’s of lesbian sex, but sadly no porn! 😉

  • I don't think I would have to Lol But I don't really know what her thoughts are on porn and don't think I want to 😱 lololol

    • Lol my ma think she goin to jail for my sis watchin 😂

    • Well as long as it's regular porn and not anything illegal, she should be fine lolol

  • Question is missing context. How old is the sister?

    Furthermore, sometimes you can't "convince" someone of anything, sometimes you just have to bite your tongue and abide by the house rules or do what you do in secrecacy.

    If it's that pressing of an issue, sit your mom down and talk to her. If not just tell your sister to be me covert and private about it.

    • My sis has graduated HS

  • "How do you tell your mom that porn isn't 'that bad?'"

    You don't.

    • I know but still

  • I caught my mum watching porn before she caught me.

    that sort of gave me a big get out of jail thing

    • 😂😂

  • Maybe some great looking guy needs to convince her how hot she is and interest her in porn type things.

    • lol, how does she look?

    • Her ex tried to get her to watch porn with him and she was like no 😂

    • Maybe I should send her a dick pic or two. lol

  • Tv really changed in 80s. Used to have some class and modesty. She fed u garbage and its all relative.

    So dirrct her to albert einstein.

    • Yo those shows aren't garbage 🙄

  • Porn actually is bad. I watch it, but there are studies that have proven it dumbs us down, numbs us to intimacy, creates unrealistic expectations, and etc.

    • I know its bad. But she thinks its bad enough to send you to jail just for watching it online 😂

    • Oh no. Lol! I think child pornography should go to jail, but other than that... I wouldn't even bother trying. Just appreciate that she is adorable. lol

  • she's too old and set in her ways, I dont think you'll change her.
    Sense she seem to think the government is watching and she'll get in trouble for letting a minor see it maybe,
    And this is a big maybe,
    You could go buy physical porn (DVDs or magazines) so she shouldn't worry "they" will monitor it and see if you can get your mom too watch it.

    How does your mom have a boyfriend if she dosent do oral?😂

    • My mom still in her 40s. And yea her ex watched physical porn and she didn't seem to care but she cares about goin to jail over internet porn 😂 and I don't know ig her boyfriends didn't like oral.

  • How old is your sister?

    • Lets just say i was 23 before anything remotely close to the sex talk. So age dont even matter here 😂

    • I thought your mom used to bang her boyfriend and you would over hear it. I wonder why she's so uptight about porn?

    • @dizzydesii she didn't give you the sex talk until 23 years old? If You're anything like me you probably had sex way before that

  • Open up links on Google about how porn had benefits/advantages.

    • It doesn't but im saying, she thinks she's goin to jail lmao

    • Maybe get someone older than her to talk to her about it. If you want to prove to her that porn ain't illegal, maybe get an expert's opinion.

  • I don't think that is a battle you can win. My roommate right next to me has that view along with my whole church and there is nothing you can do to tell them otherwise. My advice is to avoid the topic and if at all possible agree to disagree but keep in mind her pastor has probably instilled that porn is sinning and as much as you can get them away from that sin and tell them to repent. So no matter how much you avoid her or try to change the topic she might continue to come back and get you to stop sinning. I have this issue with my mom sometimes too 😅 I think what does seem to work is walking out of the house and or going home if things get to be too much

  • I am against porn for different reasons. Nothing wrong with masturbation thou. The main reason I am against it is there is a lot of violence against women depicted in a lot of porn out there and rape porn which I find severally disturbing and it has definitely helped influence men to be interested in anal with women. I have had the unfortunate experience of being with someone who was violent during sex even when I kept telling him to back off and someone suggested he was “fullfilling his porn fantasy” there was probably a lot more to it then that but it definitely made me think.

    Also there is a lot of research that shows how people get addicted to it and it rewires men’s. I also think it has dehumanizing affects.

    I think your poor sister thou is going to end of traumatized she needs someone to talk to her about sex in a real way not just shaming her but the fact that you got addicted paints a cautionary tale.

    • Man im so sorry you went through that. And i know porn isn't good. Yea i was addicted to soft porn at 13. But i was fine after that. Yea my mom just thinks watching porn on the internet will send someone to jail

    • Well good luck to your family glad to hear you are better

  • I have never spoken to her about porn tbh 😂 it’s just a secret thing.

    • I agree but she think she goin to jail 😂

  • You are 26. Why are you even discussing this with your mother? How does she even know? And why is your sister allowing your mother to read her journal? Maybe you should move out together.

    • My mom found pages of my sisters journal in the trash. So she dug it out and read it lmao. My mom brought it up to me. And nah my sis doesn't listen to me so she can't move with me

  • There is no way I could have told my mom that, even though she was a liberal Democrat

    • Yea mine is a democrat too but hardly.

  • I would just tell her that it's not criminal to watch porn.. If it was it wouldn't be on the free internet where you can freely access sites with a Google search.. 😂😂

    • Exactly! Lmao she literally lookin for cop lights 🤣

  • Your likely not going to be able to convince her, all you can do is tell her its not illegal in most cases.

    • Ok lol

  • Porn is way safer than hooking up and sometimes gives you a better orgasm

    • Exactly lmao

  • I think you will find, that generation and the ones preceding that had very different sexual behaviours than the modern generation. Yes porn has existed for a very long time but it wasn't easily available as it is today. And also porn in the past wasn't as explicit as the modern ones.

    Certain sexual behaviour Like blowjobs and pussy eating is also a modern thing that was advertised by porn. Of course it is not a new thing because century old books like the Kamasutra already had all those aspects of sex in them but these were not a common thing as it is in modern times.

    Without porn, things like blowjobs and pussy eating, 69 and all that would be a rare thing that only people who truly explored sex and erotica would endulge in.

    And without the internet, porn would not be as common as it is today. And without it's demand through the net, porn would not be as explicit and hardcore as it is today.

    So I am not surprised at your mum's reaction not even for one second.

    I can truly say that generation is somewhat innocent in a few ways.

    • Lol have u not seen 80s porn 😂 that shit was wild. Bad graphics and super hairy bodies. It was even more explicit i’ll say

    • I have seen them and still disagree. Morden day porn is definitely more explicit

    • I must say though that porn has become more explicit following the decades. So yes the 80s was more explicit than the 70s for example
