Am I the only one who finds it EXTREMELY icky when parents and stuff make sex jokes to each other around kids?
Like this has happened to me and I’ve seen a bunch of people doing this online where parents or parents and their friends make sexual joke using ‘porn talk’ in front of their kids and teenagers completely expecting them to have absolutely no idea what any of it means.
I remember when I was like 12 or 13 my parents and two of their friends just came back from a bar and I was doing something in the living room and my mom’s friend said ‘im drunk and horny’ and my mom said ‘me too’ and they all laughed and I was just standing there being like what the fuck is happening.
I was a kid brought up on unrestricted access to the innernet so I completely knew what all of that meant, and most kids raised by gen X parents and some melinial parents just give their kids completely unrestricted access to the internet so they mature way way way faster, aka starting to watch adult content when they are 9-10 years old. And then they expect their kids to just be these pure virgen eyed saints? No.
I think the problem is mainly parents overestimating the innocents of their kids and feeling comfortable using ‘porn talk’ expecting their kids to not know anything and not be super uncomfortable.

Have you considered therapy? My mom used to do something similar. It might be good to talk about this with a professional.
