My parents

[avalon_falls337]

I'm 13 years old, and I love my parents so much, but I found my dad on porn a few times and my parents have some gross lubricant by their bedside for sex or something. I don't know if this is normal for 47 year olds, but it kinda freaks me out. I know it's none of my business, but I don't know... Help?

Or they might give you "the talk" and send you away with admonishments for confronting them about personal matters (do parents still give the talk? mine never did, but I was always obedient and helplessly single as a kid).

I don't want to sound condescending, really--that's the last thing I want. You're young and it's normal for you to recoil at your findings. I did when I found a big 'ol bottle of anal lubricant in my mom's nightstand (I was looking for bandaids, by the way--she hides them to stop my sister from being stupid).  But you should be far more concerned if your parents don't have an intimate relationship, if one or both of them is abusing the other emotionally or physically, or if they have resorted to always sleeping in separate rooms (I have met a middle-aged married couple who does this, and I've known them for three years, they still do it, and it still makes me uncomfortable), et cetera.

All I can suggest is to try and forget what you've seen. Try and turn a willingly blind eye. I don't want to be *that* guy, but it really will make more sense when you're older. I know that's terrible advice, it's the worst advice to give young people. I'm still a young people myself. I'm 21. But already I'm finding a lot of those "when you're older..." statements are coming true.

Actually, if you confront them about it, they might help make it less or much more awkward. They're human, they have desires and yet-functioning bodies. But it might bring to their attention the fact that their child is aware of their amorous adventures. They might try to be more discrete about it.

Here's the opportunity  for you to grow up. What you are witnessing is the human expression of love.YOU ,sir were born of this love. Dont bother what they do.People have sex even when they are 75 years of age. Dont let this worry you. you are already  precious  because you love your parents.
let me put it like this.Responsible adults also like to play. but they know their limts.hence they seek satisfaction (just fun and variety) by  looking at porn etc.No harm done.See the difference is  that you are young and you are making judgments beyond your age,wheras for them its all play. Dont bother.trust me you are one of the lucky ones.there are kids whose parents cheat each other  and their kids too.you neednt bother,at this age you just need to focus on your career and make them and yourself worthy and proud.
