Do your parents know you look at hentai?

[Hyperguy]

If so, what do they think about it?

If not, do you plan to tell them?

Also, how old are you?

My parents know I look at hentai.  For the most part they're cool with it since they see me as an adult and being able to make my own descisions about what to beat off to. look at for artistical value.  I'm 22 now, though I think I've been viewing hentai since I was 15 or so.  I never really knew what it was when I first saw it.  I honestly thought that the first hentai game I played would contain no nudity and just be an adventure game with a happy ending.  That game was Tokimeki Check In!.  Throughout the course of the game, Ayumi gets raped in three seperate story arcs.  Holy crap.  To this day, Ayumi's my favorite character from that game, though not because of the H scenes(She's actually got a great personality).  Before that, when the internet was just getting started, I'd check out some stuff at CG Shrines.

Ah, then there's Hyperguy.net, which happens to have hentai on it(It was never meant to be a hentai site, and for the most part, still isn't one).  To the nonanime fans (people above 25 years of age) I've show the site to, I've mostly gotten positive feedback.  People'll usually ask me where I got my images from, which is no easy question to answer since they've come from all reaches of the internet.  Because of the hentai that is on my site, my Dad doesn't visit it when he's at work.

I like hentai.  It's nice.  I'm pretty decent at chess.  I won't post a list. xD

[Ellendesu]

Yeah, my parents know I look at hentai.

They're just like "WTF" and don't care as long as I do the laundry and the dishes.

[Meat]

No, they don't know and I'd like to keep it that way.  I'm not really comfortable with my family and friends knowing what I fap to and I sure as hell don't want to know what they get off to, either.  I guess the Internets allow me some measure of anonymity so I can freely discuss my affinity for erotic artwork, whereas in the real world I'd have to worry about being stigmatized and ridiculed.  Not that it would hurt my feelings or anything, but I'd rather avoid a confrontation whenever possible and if keeping my fetishes to myself will achieve that, then so be it. 

[Kiinan Yamasu]

Been looking since I was 13, I'm 19 now. My dad knows, not sure if mom does. But dad thinks it's perfectly okay.

Alright for understanding parents.

[Meat]

Quick question for you guys:  How did your parents find out?  Did you tell them or did they "catch" you?

[Ellendesu]

Heres the exact conversation.

Dad: HEY BILL!
Me: *peeks head out from bedroom, puts whatever RPG I was playing at the time on hold for moment* Yeah man?
Dad: I'm leaving for a while, I fucking gotta get some air.
Me: Alright, have fun. But what the fuck am I gonna do?
Dad: Go beat off to some cartoon shit or somethin', or make a pizza
Me: Fuck it, I'll do both.
Dad: Love you
Me: See ya dad, love you too. Can you preheat the oven? I'm in a battle right now
Dad: Goddamn video games. FINE BUT YOU BETTER DO THE DISHS
Me: I'll do the fuckin' dishs dad, just preheat the oven, do we have any Jolt left?
Dad: No, your brother swiped the last one. Can he get to that porn shit on your computer?
Me: Hell no, I'm smarter than he is. Besides, he's seen worse than what I got.
Dad: Yeah, you're probably right. See ya.
Me: Peace.

Yup, I love it.

I have doujinshi scattered all over the house... my dad happened upon a Hellabunna one.  Awkwardness ensued.

[ROMate]

They probably suspect that I have, if they don't know that I have. If they do know, they don't care.

[boshy]

NO, but they suspect

[scarab]

No and why would the parent care?  I'm 25.

[tetsaru arigashi]

I always try to look at porn/hentai in private (i.e., I haven't ACTUALLY told them), but I assume my folks know that I tend to like looking at sexy women, at least, and I KNOW that they know of my big-breast fetish.  If they did find out, I think they'd be okay with it and everything - I mean, c'mon, I'm nearly 21 now, and me and my dad both are art-oriented people, so we look at nude models quite often - but yeah, I figure they'd probably be quite freaked out at the content involved in hentai...  >_<;  They got a chuckle out of some of the images in my Amazing Nurse Nanako art book when it came in the mail, lol, but other than that, they're pretty oblivious, unless they've completely raided my room or browsed through my files on my computer when I wasn't aware...

[Muhznit]

Mine probably know that I look at porn in general, but I'm not sure about hentai. I wish the best of luck to them in fining mine though. My pr0n folder has been renamed to just a space and itts icon is transparent. My folder's basically invisible 24/7! Like Tetsaru, though, my friends DO know of my Breast Fetishism, but don't really care.

[Snorlax.RAYZR]

I don't think so. However, I was playing F40 once with headphones on, and the beer's downstairs, and I heard the fridge open and close, but I didn't hear my dad come down. Sometimes, the fridge just shakes randomly. It was either him, or that. So I dunno. Haha.

[MMX]

Yes.

When I was real young, like I dunno... 16-ish?  Father found my personal stash (I used to print out the pics I really liked, back before I had my own computer) and one time while I went out with me mum and me siblings to get ice cream or something, he was waiting by the door with it when we walked back in.  Thankfully I was the first one in and I grabbed it out of his hands and hit it immediately.

Then there was that time my family was helping me move into my new apartment and me pa and me bro and me went out to get something to eat and came back to find me mum and me sis had already unpacked all my bags and put them away.  I immediately knew they had found that very same stash (at this time I mostly just kept them for nostalgia purposes), since I had brought it with me so as not to keep it in the old house and let them find it again.  D'oh.

I didn't want to, I mean Inever looked at the pics anymore but I liked keeping them around, some I didn't have on my HD, but I got rid of the stash after that, even though I was out of the house.

And they didn't really give much of a shit.  I mean the first time my father found out about the porn in general he was just like "well I'm just worried it took this long I was beginning to wonder"

In fact first time we had "that conversation" he was like "do you masturbate" and I was like "no" and he was like "why?  are you sick?"


My mother still asks me if I'm gay.  All the fucking time.  Just because she knows I seem to prefer hentai to real porn.  DON'T GET ME WRONG BEGGARS CAN'T BE CHOOSERS ora t least this one won't be U_U
I guess if my "stash" had more "real" pictures in them she'd feel more secure about me not showing an active interest in pursuing an automated annoyance machine i'm sorry I meant a girlfriend.

[Mirai Doft]

No, they don't, although they think that I look at porn =P
They would probably take me to a psychiatrist if they found out...
I'm 16, and I first saw hentai when I was 10 lol. I prefer hentai to regular porn, and a lot of my friends think that I'm weird, even though they've also seen some hentai.

I've almost got caught once. I had printed an image that i liked, but after some minutes I realised that it was a stupid idea, and tried to burn it, what was an even stupider idea, since my mom heard the sound of matches and asked me what I was burning. I ran to bathroom and flushed it lol. She then talked to me saying that no matter what it was, she wasn't going to be mad at me, and I said it was a paper with cheat codes to a game and that my brother was using them against me. I think that she thought it was a bad grade at school.

God I was so idiot at that time ~.~

Your mom gets off to

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

your dad.

Since hentai isn't a commonly known word, you could tell people that you're into hentai and if they don't know what it is, tell them that it's a form of Feng Shui.  But in the case that they do know what it is, you'd be able to discuss it freely with them depending on your comfort levels.  You could be all like "Gee Roger, that Arale's got the nicest ass!  It's so tight you can bounce a rice ball off of it!"

Suppression might be worse than ridicule.  Being able to talk about it comfortably is actually a lot of fun.  "Hey Gina, did you pick up the milk and those La Blue Girl DVDs?  I'm off this weekend."

Quick question for you guys:  How did your parents find out?  Did you tell them or did they "catch" you?

I was visiting from college when my parents asked to see my website.  This is my stepmom's favorite picture in the gallery: http://www.hyperguy.net/h_gallery/displayimage.php?album=4&pos=13

I have doujinshi scattered all over the house... my dad happened upon a Hellabunna one.  Awkwardness ensued.

What would have been really funny would be if he had asked to borrow it.

No and why would the parent care?  I'm 25.

Because they want to maintain a healthy parent-child relationship by taking an active role in your interests including but not limited to financing a trip to Japan to visit Comiket with an additional $250 spending money for buying doujinshi(and possibly tissues).

I mean, c'mon, I'm nearly 21 now, and me and my dad both are art-oriented people, so we look at nude models quite often -

I think there's a big difference between saying "This post-Lapsarian painting has fine lines and the orange triangles represent man's plight in trying to understand aquaducts," and saying "This disproportionate fictional character drawing gives me a raging hard on."

That juxtaposition is hilarious.

[MustardMaster]

I don't think they even know that such a thing exists. Some of my wallpapers might have given some hints about it. Well... not my problem.

I'm 18. But hentai is nothing new. ^_^

[R-9]

That juxtaposition is hilarious.

Bah, given enough time, the second will become the first.

[CharliesX]

My mother knows what exactly is while my brother knows it as anime porn and I keep my father out of the picture completly. following that trend, my mother also knows a lot of these have excessive rape in them, while my brother.....knows it as anime porn.
