That had so many unexpected twists!!!

Hopefully you'll be able to see the funny side of this one day

Dat pegasus.

Fingers crossed that day comes sooner than later! But first I need to get through what will no doubt be an awkward festive season for my family.

Dream me should've invested in straps instead of hanging onto horse hair.

"...um...do you do the things those guys are doing in the video?"

"not yet..."

That was quite a ride (much like you on the Pegasus, or like the video on the phone).

Your folks sound like they want to be supportive but just got you in an awkward position. Luckily it wasn't with your pants down, so to speak. Be glad they were open to finding out who you are instead of berating you for it.

Some day you will be able to look at them in the eyes again, and maybe even joke about this, but for now be glad it went as well as it did and always put your phone face down with sound off when going to sleep.

Sounds like your parents are being the weirdos. Sorry kiddo, how awkward :(

Lol I can't even imagine how my mom would've reacted if I said that. I could tell when she asked that question how completely baffled she was at the realization that it's possible for guys to physically have sex with each other. I don't think she ever thought about it or seen it until she got exposed to my porn.

I don't blame them to be honest. I've been trying to figure out who I am for years and I still don't really know what makes me me. But I've had time to live with the questions and find some of the answers, whereas my mom and dad had to discover and absorb all of that information about me by accident 17 years later. I can understand how that can be a lot for some parents to process, so I can forgive them for being weird, as long as it's not forever.

Fair! Also don't worry bout figuring out who you are. I'm 33, 10 and 11 yr old boys of my own, and I still don't know lol

>always put your phone face down with sound off when going to sleep.

And also stick to porn that's not longer than Titanic.

I mean, "no" was an honest answer but "not yet" would have been the more accurate answer lol. You're right that she probably didn't think about gay sex much but for sure she knows that it's possible. It might be hard to imagine but your mom was young once too and did all the things young people do so you have to give her some credit. Her baffled look was probably more of her processing that you might be/are gay, plus truly wondering/concerned if you've been doing the deed with other dudes. Anyway, I can't begin to imagine the awkwardness you must be going though but hopefully it gets better from here. Good luck my man...

Um, headphones?

It sounds like they could see the screen

💀

So are you gay or Bi? Cause you owe your gf an explanation.

Edit: he owns her an explanation if he is gay since they probably wouldn't be in a healthy 2 way relationship.

But since OP said he likes both I don't think it should be any issue. Maybe it would just be nice to know for her if you guys want to have a threesome sometime.

just say you feel asleep and it might have played automatically (or mistakenly pressed when asleep)

Wiggling your toe?? 💀

who tf puts on a 4 HOUR porno? better yet...WTF makes a 4-hour porno. wtf. omg. people need to know when to stop. this is too much.

It is an uncomfortable constant in life that, outside of exceptional circumstances, one can be confident that their parents had sex. Usually with each other. Possibly multiple times.

I mean that's one way to explore new kinks...

Things will probably be awkward for a while. I don't think that your sexual preference has anything to do with it. It's simply because your parents caught you watching any kind of porn. The seem to be open minded people. But they are probably embarrassed by this too lol. I know that I would definitely be embarrassed if I caught my kid watching porn. Or vice versa. It feels intrusive for both parties.

He doesn’t “owe” his girlfriend an explanation for what porn he watches. That’s not something he needs to justify.

Son screaming in his sleep while porn is playing on his phone... mom might have thought the toe was the safest approach.

Or you’ll go down with the ship, so to say…

I'd like a porn of someone going down on the ship.

Not for his porn, but for his sexuality if he is gay.

If I had to put a label on it, I would probably pick bi. I feel like my sexuality is for me to know and for everyone else to learn about me if I'm comfortable sharing that part of me. My sexual attraction towards guys has had no impact on my relationship with my gf. I'm romantically and sexually attracted to her. We're both pro porn in our relationship, so it's not a big secret that I watch porn when she's not present. She does the same. Gay porn gets me off as much as straight porn. Last night just happened to be a gay porn night. That being said, now that my parents know, I do feel pressured to tell my gf about it.

He said he likes both

Yeah, something tells me 4 hours of gay porn playing automatically while I was sleeping would not have traumatized my parents any less.

It's a video I keep coming back to. I never watch the whole thing. No one's got time for that. I usually skip to the part I enjoy the most.

This is more acceptable, lol.

I know he said to his parents that he likes both, that doesn't mean that he's bi. He might've been too afraid to say he's gay.

OP, don’t feel pressured. This is your decision to make and you’re right about that. You’re not obligated to share it with your girlfriend. What parts about you that you share, and with whom, is your decision.

That being said.. if you really love your girlfriend and you want a deep relationship with her. If you see that relationship lasting. Part of a successful relationship is opening up to someone and being vulnerable. Sharing those secrets you wouldn’t share with others. This is the whole intimacy “in to me you see” kinda stuff. The difference between roommates and partners/lovers. Is that your partner/lover gets parts of you that no one else does.

Maybe he is and maybe he isn’t. However OP didn’t say anything indicating he’s gay as we shouldn’t assumed that he was lying to his parents. Straight people watch gay porn and gay people watch straight porn, it’s not always an indicator of someone sexuality.

To me as a parent, sounds like your parents are supportive and also want to give you your own space so aren't about to bring it up again the next morning. So kind of awkward but at the root not a huge deal for them?

I'm sure if you aren't up to it they will take the lead at some point and bring it back up. But if you are up to it and want to broach the subject you have the opportunity to kind of set the frame for the conversation where you want it. I.e. less on trying to pin you down on your sexuality and safe sex practices. And maybe more on how they can support you as you continue to figure out and live your life.

You didn't 'f up'.

You're now freer than you've ever been. Unintentional as it might have been, the result is you had the bravery (which shouldn't be necessary, it is & should be a non issue, but times are hopefully changing) to be free, confident & honest to ur parents.

And true to yourself.

Sir, you thus dun succeeded!

>Part of a successful relationship is opening up to someone and being vulnerable. Sharing those secrets you wouldn’t share with others.

Thank you for pointing that out. This is my first relationship. I'm still learning how to be 100% comfortable sharing parts of me that I don't usually share. I completely agree with you. I want my gf to be in my life for as long as possible, and if I want our love to last long term, then I need to get used to being vulnerable from time to time. I think I'm gonna tell her.

Haha. I’m the dad in this scenario. 17yo kids jerk off. Dads know that. Mom probably jerks your dad off. They also probably knew you might be gay before you did. You will all get over it.

My only concern is who the hell watches 4 hour long porn? WTF?

Just put some playboy mags underneath your bed, that would do the trick. Or just come out, better to be open than to hide for eternity.

Also who can perform for that long, especially on camera.

I didnt know porn movies can go on for 4 hours.

Can confirm, partner is a combat vet. Shaking people awake is the best way to get tossed and end up disrupting them a lot more. The least disruptive way you can get their attention the better because when someone is asleep, it doesn't matter who you are because their unconscious mind won't recognize you until awake and that might be too late. Mom did the right thing.

Should have just told em it was porn TikTok, when your using it you just swipe past the gay stuff. Rents don't always want to know, mostly just don't know how to help.

Porn is mostly entertainment sure, but man, it's gotta be physically exhausting to keep at it for 4 hours on camera lol

I’m 30F and my parents caught me looking at Playboy when I was like 10 (I didn’t realize internet history was a thing). I blamed it on one of my friends. The whole thing was super horrifying for me, they are very old fashioned.

I’m bisexual and I didn’t feel comfortable coming out to anybody until I was an adult. You don’t need to disclose this to anyone until you’re ready, either. Including anyone you decide to date. Just because we’re bi, it doesn’t mean we’re more prone to cheating or that it says anything about our attraction to our current partners of any gender.

No tf he doesn’t

> And also stick to porn that's not longer than Titanic.

Mom, dad. Yes, I was watching gay porn. But it was for the plot. It was 4 hours long!

I knew somebody you had to wake by poking them with the end of a broomstick, because he always, always, came up swinging.

Loud horn noises

Unexpected ASMR

Yeah, my partner isn't usually like that unless things are bad, but if he gets startled awake it takes him an hour or two to fully relax after so it's definitely not a good way to start the day, especially if i need something urgently. I usually get in bed next to him and rub his back, that way he sort of understands it's me.

Apparently, a little while after he got back, his ex wife thought she could wake him up aggressively in front of their friends (he was dozing on the couch or something) and they all fold her not to but she thought it would be different for her. It was not. Apparently it didn't end well. He's not usually violent though, just easily startled.

Well, clearly OP doesn't. Sleeps right thru it!

Must've been a collaboration of numerous actors.

OH

At least it wasn't midget porn.

I'm sorry that you're a victim of underaged porn, I hope that you can break away from it. I promise that you're better off never watching porn again

Breakfast could have been a lot more awkward if breakfast sausage was served.

Straps would be key for the Pegging-asus

When I was in the Navy I (a 5'0" female) I would have to go into male berthing to wake up my watch relief pretty often. We had one guy who would wake up swinging so I would just pull back his curtain and swish a flashlight beam across his face until he woke up. Light is the safest tool for that job IME. wholly effective and provides lots of distance.

>“I said sometimes I like girls and sometimes I like guys.“

You are probably bisexual then

That's a good idea! A couple times things have gotten ugly or he's been hard to wake up, I've had to throw water on him... Wakes him up every time to the real world, but never in a good mood lol.

Lol, now I’m just imagining you squirting him with a water bottle and him running away hissing like a cat.

Hahaha that would be funny! The one time I just wet my fingertips and flicked toward his face so it was pretty minimal, another time I put a cold rag on him, but there was a time where things were more dire and I was starting to get pissed (he was moving and speaking but not really conscious) so I did actually kinda throw water from a distance and move away. He has a very aggressive face when he first wakes up just normally (baby sis stays with us sometimes and calls it his Murder Face) but he was definitely more angry than normal those times!

What parents should have done:

"Hey son, can you please turn off your porn. You're not in trouble but we still need to discuss this later, but for now, turn it off and get some sleep."

Regroup and have the conversation about the content the next day. Also about porn consumption in general.
