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. 🤣

  • I won't even dare trying...

    • Lol ok

  • Sounds like your mom grew up in a very sheltered and religious household. It's unbelievable that she still believes that all porn in itself is somehow illegal in the United States!

    Definitely a lesson learned about how we are raised can affect our belief systems even decades after adolescence.

    • She doesn't think physical copies are illegal but apparently she thinks internet version is 😂

    • Hopefully she'll learn! :-P

  • Luckily this discussion has never come up in my household with my parents. After reading your story i'm glad that its just something we don't talk about lol.

    • Hahahah

  • Well porn actually reduces your attraction towards real human existances of opposite gender arround you. Some say it helps reducing sexual frustration so allow it. Some says ban it.
    I guess it would be bad if you don’t feel for your sexual partner.
    What I think? people should be married quickly. If there is a need fulfill it. Why block it? 👀

    • Dude read the paragraph. She thinks she's goin to jail

    • Yeah I read It. And thus didn’t think that I had to take it seriously. 👀 She just found out your sister trying to reduce watching porns and freaked out knowing she watched it. Say ur mom what? Maybe if you are elder you can say that It's natural at their age or something like that

    • I can't say that cause she dont know i watch it too 😂

  • Well, with my mom ( late) I was older ordered one of those Adult movies she just laughed it off she said there are no stories line behind these but when I was young doing the naughty stuff under the blanket one time she caught me wow was I embarrassed she yelled and said what you doing well, of course, I felt like a hill and from that day on my compulsive masturbation habits was always with an eye open and my mom wasn't too religious but I never really got into porn to like 2006 when I first got on the Internet then I saved all this porn that carried viruses like a dumb ass I didn't know better but I experienced masturbating in grade school, in JCPenney dressing room while trying pair of pants on, still to this day I don't know where that cum when I blew my load

  • Ooo that's not something I'd like to talk to my mom about. That'd be a dead end. And yours is already deleting like crazy, freaking out... I don't know her, but it sounds like you might not be able to get through to her. She should get the confirmation from a "confidential non porn watching person close to her" (who probably also watches porn, but she doesn't know that). Like me and my dad can tell my mom something simple and she won't accept it, and then months later she's like "I talked to the neighbour, she told me to "exact thing me and dad suggested, same words too" so that's what I'll try! And me and dad feel like slamming our heads in the wall.

    • Lol yea my sis doesn't even know my moms seen the journal

    • to be continued

  • Really crime? Lol! Just tell her that the law has a clear line. And you haven t crossed it.

    • Exactly lmao

  • I don't know because I do find to be bad. And it does have proven negative side affects.

    Also lol you don't. I mean what parent wants to have that conversation with their child?

    • I know its bad. I said “that bad” cause she think she's goin to jail

    • I mean she's not going to jail /=

    • I know but she thinks she is 🤣

  • There are certain subjects where Mom isn't the wisest choice of someone with whom you'd have a discussion. It's kind of in the category of when you kiss your grandmother goodbye, keep your tongue out of play.

    • She came and asked me about it

  • What is more cringy then giving your child the sex talk? Talking to your adult child about porn😬.. it’s not a conversation I even want to acknowledge to exist

    • Lmao

  • Lmaoooooo she's going to jaillllll

    • Loll

  • my mom is a damn holy roller dont even know my birthday cause all she cares about is her church i put porn on in my bedroom she be like the 😈 is coming for me i say well i have been waiting please take me

    • Brooo

  • I am addicted to porn, and it makes me sick and guilty every time I have finished watching it. I have to find a way to stop. How were you able to quit it?

  • I wouldn't do that ever

    • Shit im tempted

  • Unless it pedophile stuff the police literally do not care. It's funny that you say she's not religiously conservative or anything, because it sounds like she has some deep-seated trauma related to sex.

    • What is sad is how some people think nudity and porn are the same thing... they'll freak out as seeing a naked person and be like, its porn.

    • @nalix we are religious and have some conservative views but i meant she's not a religious nutcase

    • The worst religious nutcases don't think that they are religious at all.

  • You can tell her all you like, but she won't believe it, so why bother? I don't think I'm addicted to porn, I'm just addicted to the sex I can't get !! LOL

    • She came asking me

  • WOW... I have never that convo and thank god... somethings are better to be left unsaid..

    • Lol she approached me

    • How in the world did you handle it.. I would jump out the window lol and never come back

    • It wasn't about me. She asked about my sis watching it. I laughed and said it isn't thatbbad. Then she replied that it could send someone to jail lmao

  • You don’t.

    • I just mean in terms of her thinking youmll go to jail for it

  • Everyone is entitled to their opinions, so you don't have to tell her.

    • But she came asking me

  • No matter what you tell your mom, you will never convince her to see your point of view. She sounds like she is old school where you just have intercourse and nothing else.
    You could always just turn on porn when you know she would come in and see it. I don't think it will end well but you might get a kick out of it.

    • Yea she old school. But not more old school then my grandpa. His dad was a preacher who told him dancing is the devils work. My grandpa dont even dance 😂 and my mom knows what porn is cause her ex used to watch it

    • He's not in jail for watching porn is he? Did you go to jail for watching it? I know I was never in jail

    • She doesn't know i watched it. And yea he went to jail 😂 for drug use
