A Question Posed to All

Post by HemlockGrey »

This is taken verbatim from a question from my creative writing teacher. The third response was how I answered.

I expect full participation.

I think they would be equally embarassing.

But I answered with the third.

I'll answer this query with sex being the act in question and...

I would so rather get caught by my parents than catch them in the act. It would not only be more embarressing for all parties if I caught them in the act, but it would gross me out too much.

I'm 23 and hypothetical female would be age 18-25 and my parents are in their early 50s. 'Nuff said.

My father once caught my girlfriend massaging my vital organ. That taught him to always knock before entering my room. It was a disturbing moment, but my father is very liberal (he has porno cassetes spread all over the house, it's not as if he hides them) and pretended not to notice.

Catching my parents.

At least if they catch me I still get to have sex.

Catching them doing it.

Sorry I can deal with my dad or mom catching me(given I live away from them makes it harder...but who knows...I forget to lock door and that they are visiting...the circumstances could happen.)

But even the thought of them doing it and me seeing it...makes my stomach shiver.

Me catching them. If it's the other way around, they're the ones who have to burn the image out of their brains.

Look, I'[ve had a man have to tell me to shut up so I can hear what my dad is shouting through the door.

My mother's walked in on my sister doing in the kitchen.

We're young, gorgeous, blonde women. Of COURSE we have sex. You're an idiot to think otherwise. My parents aren't idiots.

But as far as I'm concerned they've had sex twice. My fragile mind can't cop ewith anyhting more than that and the porn on my dad's computer...

Shit, I've been in there. What the hell do I care if I see my parents screwing? Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't be enjoyable to see, but one needs to keep some perspective.

Separated parents and a locked door does away with them both now. :D~Jason
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Have walked in on my parents before, fortunately, they tend to stay under the covers, so I muttered a quick sorry, and shut the door. Not particularly embarrassing.

And I'm pretty sure that my parents would be equally unphased by walking in on me either, just a case of walking in, and walking back out again.

Still, as I know when the doors shut and my parents know when the doors shut, there's not much chance of either scenario occurring.

I've been locking my door out of habit for over 10 years and I tend to stay awy from my parents' room.
Don't hate; appreciate!

Not much chance of either...not the first one for obvious age reasons, and for the second one...I doubt they even do it, i don't think they like each other that much anymore.

But, if the first two were applicable, i would probably say the first one, becuase if i saw them, it would scar me for life. :shock:

Not much chance of either because:

A) For the past few years my parents seem to hate easch others guts.

B) I am having the worst luck possible in the area of getting a girl. As i've said in the venting thread: "The whole fucking world's against me i swear to god"

My parents already know the hazards of sex, so that's mot likely to happen. My gf doesn't want to have sex utnil after she gets married, so...

Neither's likely to happen, really.

Due to health problems, my elderly parents no longer engage in sex.

I never had sex in the house. Except for the first time, and that was hours before anyone was due home.

Neither is possible. Thankfully. *shudders*

1. quite possible, although im not currently in a relationship, my parents never knock.

2. my parents hate each other.

3. most likely scenario, i doubt i would have sex with anyone while they are in the house, or likely to get home anytime soon. they would probably kill me, any excuse to start an argument etc etc etc ;)
