Do you feel awkward to see intimate stuff on TV in front of your parents?

I just change the channel. I know it's awkward but sometimes my parents just ignore it. Maybe they are feeling the same way too.

True, I think both parents and kids get embarrased-we like watching the TV with the kids in the evening, but sometimes some of these soaps are very sexually explicitly, me i like interjecting some off topcs when such scenes appear-but truely, we all get embarrassed.

A few years back, I would feel a little awkward ,especially if my Mom was there and I would change the channel. Now i just let it go if My Dad is in the room and do not let my self get bothered or too concious about it.

I have lived by myself for so long and I don't usually watch that stuff on TV, so it's not a problem with me. When I was a kid, especially a teenager, I would get real embarrassed and look away or walk out of the room. My mom was one that liked romantic stuff on TV and enjoyed those kinds of shows. Now, though, I can watch what I want when I want and I don't really come across those things that much.

Don't be awkward, take it in a positive way. Its part of every humans life. I am also came across such situations,but I didn't change the channel.

Yeah I would feel awkward. But whenever we watch Hollywood action movies or action tv series, it is presupposed that some intimate stuff would happen. I don't change the channel. I just let the scene pass. But if my Paps happen to have the remote in his hand, he would switch the channel.

Well I never really watched tv with my parents but so its less likely to be in that situation. But if I will be in that kind of situation i also don't know what to do.. i might feel awkward but i think its best not to react or walk out of the room that would just make the situation more awkward.

I would be embarrassed with my parents and used to be but the situation does not arise now. However, I have teenage children so am embarrassed when it happens with them around. I tend to just ignore it though as don't want to make too much of a fuss. Unless the program/film is rated 18 it should not be too bad or last too long. I think children these days have grown up with so much of it around on the television that it hardly affects them at all. It is, after all, quite a natural act and families used to all live in the same room or small house and know exactly what was going on!!

I 32 years old now so seeing stuff like that in front of my parents does not bother me but I always wonder what my 12 year old son is thinking when it comes on. Alot of times he just looks away as I think he is embrrassed.

yeah, i hate facing that situation. that's why i prefer watching television alone normally i will keep a book with me when i am watching tv. during the commercial break i will read the book. maybe i can pretend to read book when the scenes is played heehe...

No I do not, although they think otherwise. But hey, I have grown up. But still it actually depends. If it's just a normal smooch and a kiss, then I do not switch the channel. But if its something more intimate than that, then I just pretend to answer a call or something and walk out of the scene. Although i think my parents wouldn't mind me being there and have a look at it. After all I'm a grown man now.. bourne

I don't change channel and i would keep watching except my parents change the channel.I think you shouldn't feel awkward to this,it's normal.If you change channel that means you want to cover some things,you should face it with a right mind.

LOL. Walk out of the room is pretty funny. I never had that experience with my father but with my mother sometimes yes sometimes no!

Yes i do feel very very awkward. I am in my teens and i can understand what is going on there and i dont want my parents to know that i can understand all that as they still think that i am a kid. its a tough situation.

I definitely feel awkward if this happens, but most the time I don't really watch tv with my parents. But most likely in this situation I would just sit there and hope that it doesn't last too long! I know when I was younger and me and my mom would watch movies together, if there was a part that was like this in any way my mom would tell me to cover my eyes and then she would tell me when I could look again. But that was not over a kiss or something.. that stuff doesn't bother me at all.

Absolutely. It is very awkward. I too don't know how to react as I go numb with discomfort. lol. I can laught at it now but its so bad when you are in the situation.

very awkward, i wish i could just disappear when that kind of scenes come on haha. sometimes i walk away, pretending that i have something to do, or just start talking about stuff to distract myself and them.

LOL well if the scene wasparticularly hot ,then I well may have to consider getting up and putting the kettle on,and leave Mum to it!but she would be glued in ,and calling me saying OHHH COME LOOK AT THIS!lol but no seriously I would find it a little bit toe curling yes,but I would be mad that I had to miss the good bits myself!

YES! I cannot stand watching intimate scenes with my parents. It just feels so awkward especially because there's usually a comment from them that comes with watching it. I just feel like I'm being watched for my reactions and i do not like it at all.to avoid such situation, i just try not to watch too many movies or shows with my parents, lol.

Switching channels is one of the best options now with the remote being a very handy tool. The problem comes if the remote is not working and you are unable to switch the channel. You have to walk up to the TV and change the channel or just switch it off and walk out of the room.
