Why are people weirded out about their parents being intimate

So my bf and I are on the way to his parents house. He called both and no one answered so I was like maybe they’re sleep or showering. He’s like I don’t want to think about them showering together. I reply well don’t but it’s normal for couples to do that. He’s all I don’t want to know about them showering or having sex. He said it as if sex is so gross. I’m like how the fuck do you think you got here? 😂

Why are people so grossed out by this ? Like sex is normal. His parents are very open like they’ll have dirty conversations at the dinner table.

Yeah sex is normal but the last thing someone wants to think or hear about is their parents fucking.

I don’t want to think about my parents having sex and they don’t want to think about me either. It’s normal but doesn’t mean you have to sit and think on it.

It's just awkward. Most adult children don't want to think about their parents having sex and guaranteed most parents don't want to think about their kids having sex. Of course sex is normal, but it's generally not everyone's most comfortable topic of conversation.

Lol my husband accidentally walked in on his mom giving his step dad a blow job once and he still hasn’t talked about it until this day it’s been 2 years now it traumatized him. and he’s not very shy he’s open about sex but just don’t like to know his parents have it. I’m the same way though lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would need some hot chocolate and a zanny if I ever walked in on that. Every time I saw them I’d burst into tears, make a finger cross and yell SINNERS!

I’ve heard my neighbors having sex when I was coming home from school. Like she was screaming that I thought she needed help until I realized why she was screaming. I quickly went into the apartment and just turned on the tv cause the walls were thin 😂

Honestly, I’ve never been bothered with the concept of my parents fucking. They’re so close and still so in love that they’re always holding hands or cuddling. It just feels natural and beautiful that they’d express it sexually as well. Obviously I wouldn’t like to hear it or be present while it was happening, but the thought doesn’t bother me at all

Them having “dirty conversations” at the table might weird me out, depending on what “dirty conversations” means. But I’ve never really cared about my parents having sex. I do have a very close, best friend type bond with my mom though, so that’s probably why. We have boundaries when it comes to what we talk about, but knowing she has sex doesn’t gross me out.

I don’t want to know details but I’m 100% aware of the fact that my parents have sex. Fine by me. I’d rather they do and stay happy together than not.

I’ve heard my mom have sex before & it completely grossed me out 😷🤢 It’s just not something most people want to think in regards to their parents. Yes, it’s completely normal & how we get here, but still, I don’t want to think about or know anything about my parent’s sex life... just like they don’t want to know about ours (their kids’ sex life). Just keep that shit more private lol.
