When my sister and I were kids, my olds had a drawer in their bedroom that was locked, and a room under the stairs that was locked. Needless to say, every time the folks went out without us (I might have been about 11 by this stage) we were trying every key we could find, bits of wire, etc to try and unlock them and see what was in there!
Turns out my dad kept dental records under the stairs (he has to, in case there is ever a body to be identified) but the drawer is still a mystery and my sister and I still think it must've been porn and "marital aids". Our imaginations did run wild, and we imagined they must've had the kinkiest things in there and it was horrifying to think of your parents in that way

Since I was able to break into all my parents stuff... I have chosen to remove every thing I wouldn't want seen from this house.

As an adult with kids now, I feel the same as you. Who knows, maybe my parents kept chocolate in there

My dad subscribed to "Sexology" magazines when I was a kid. It had all kinds of great stories and tips in them. And under the bed he kept a suitcase with porno tapes.

When I was 12 I used to borrow the materials and enlighten myself all the time. Freaky stuff. Then I could tell all my stupid friends about it -- they just knew regular parent-friendly sex stuff.

One day my friend came over and we were looking in a sexology magazine. As I walked her out I laid the magazine on my dad's dresser. I was going to put it back later but I forgot and my mom found it.

She said "When we want you to know about this stuff, we will tell you!" Whateva, mom.

I took one of my dad's tapes to college with me -- Double Pentration -- and I still have it to this day. It's good.


I'm sure him didn't keep track of 'em since he was always getting the tape stuck in the VCR and embarassing himself with the repair man. Stupid ass.

A couple of years ago, my mom and I were cleaning out his room. They were moving. And we found so old film reels of silent sex movies. And we found old black and white photographs. I wanted to keep them and send them to that new sex museum that opened up on the East Coast.

But she threw them away. That was a bad move. I almost certain they were valuable and worth a lot of money. I mean film reels. Who has that?

oh my god, this reminds me of my personal story. It's very similar to yours. When I was 12, I discovered the "stash". I really wasn't looking for it though. I was looking for the remote that controlled the "big" tv in the family room. My parents used to hide the remote for that particular tv from me and my brother because we'd always put closed caption on it and they got so fed up with it that they hid it in this trunk. Well, when they were at work one day, I decide to go snooping for the key to unlock the trunk to get the remote. Not only did I find the remote, but I found a bunch of pornos stacked nicely beside it. Out of curiosity...I had to watch them before they came from work. I know this is embarrassing to admit, but the first time I saw a cum shot, I thought it was some sort of camera trick I just was amazed that it could shoot out that far. But at that age, what I was I think. I eventually got caught snooping in the trunk, so now they probably think I'm some kinda of pervert.

You better lock it up good if you got it, kids are determined little people

charlottegelin said:

yup, cause i know i was. me and my sister used to always find my father's shit.

you mean sauna, don't you?

Whenever I have kids, I just don't know if I could get rid of them forever. Maybe my mindset will change when the time comes.

We have one DVD and I wouldn't even like my kids to see the cover of it "mummy, what are these people doing?"

Found my parents stash at about 7yrs. The very 1st book I ever read was the anatomy of sex, better sex or something like that it was a top seller in the 70's (yes I actually read the book) Fascinated by the drawings and few pictures, I read a chapter a day until it was done. The techniques I learned I still use to this day. Hasn't led me wrong yet.

My stash is in a hidden cd case with a lock on it. Books on Tantra and Kamasutra aren't as well hidden but they contain more words than anything else. So if I find that my daughter locates them we'll talk. I've had some conversations about sex w/her and find that it gets easier for her to listen and ask as well as easier for me to listen & tell. The first time was difficult b/c I didn't know what she did or didn't know...far be it from me to plant any ideas. But I always said I'd let her know the truth from me (remove the mystery and it becomes less exciting,,for now).

well, at least you're willing to talk to her about it, rather than make her feel guilty about it. When I was younger, sex just seemed so forbidden in my house. My mom never sat me down to have that talk.

AnckSuNamun said:

i never had that talk either with my parents. but whatever my kids want to know i tell them.

I forgot how old I was When they made us take SexEd classes, and I'm not sure if they're still doing that now. If they are, I think they should start at an earlier age, since girls are getting pregnant at 12 these days.

We don't have any real porn. We do have some sex dice and another game called "More Foreplay," but that's it. Oh, and a pair of Nipple-Huggers for my wife, but those look innocent enough by themselves. I suppose pretty soon here I'll have to hide the stuff a little better. Right now it's just in the bottom drawer of my night-stand.

I got into my granddad's porn all the time. I got caught more than once.

"The Joy of Sex"? I read that at a neighbour's house when I babysat. I'd get the kids into bed and then climb up to the top shelf to get it and read it. Every time a car would drive past I'd have a near heart attack thinking the parents were home. It's an informative book, not really porn, and I wouldn't mind my kids seeing that, no violence or degradation

The book was The Joy of Sex...I must be slippin in my old age. I reccomend it to anyone...dated naw sometimes you gotta get back to the roots to make the tree grow...

Daddy, why is there such a big hole in these frilly undies?

charlottegelin said:

My wife doesn't even buy nor wear frilly or lacy stuff anymore. Says it's too uncomfortable, and they end up not staying on anyway.

AnckSuNamun said:

The most my mom ever told me was
"baby you can't whip on everybody because not every woman can't handle it"
I was like MOM...
She was like I'm only telling you the truth...


I really miss her...

TMPletz said:

yeah, all that lace is so itchy! Don't YOU buy it for her anyway?

charlottegelin said:

Nope. Not that I wouldn't mind, but....

I found a box of Playboys in the basement when I was a kid. That's how I learned that there was a word for masturbation, and that other people do it too! Very educational.
