More embarrassing then porn

[The Almighty Aardvark]

So does anyone remember how, when you were a kid and thinking up some imaginary world or characters, you'd pretend to be in the world/the character, complete with prancing around the room and sound effects? It's just me? Super.

Let's just say that one day I was doing this when I was convinced I was alone (and probably older than I had any right to be prancing around in imagination land making sound effects). For whatever reason, my brother had decided to hide from me in the corner of the room when I came in, and mid prance I hear a "Uh... what the hell are you doing?" coming from under a chair.

There is no answer to that question. Just crawl into a corner and cry, praying to god that nobody's hiding in this corner as well

Oh god I thought I was the only one!!! This has happened to me so many times. What makes it even more sad is that i'm 18 years old and I still have that active imagination in my head. I'm afraid people think i'm crazy when they walk in on me talking to myself/acting out my imaginations.

Whenever I'm convinced I'm alone I like to sing. Not songs by actual musicians, but whatever words pop into my head in a sing-song manner. Like if my cat walks up to me, I might serenade it with some lovely impromptu lyrics.

There's nothing worse than realizing you had an audience the entire time...

HaHa exact same situation happened to me more than once, sad really but it's the truth

Watching anime around my parents is hard.

My mother either finds it dumb or porn (Don't know why) so I pause it and hide it if she enters the room. Really doesn't help that I like romance in my anime, so watching something like say Kokoro Connect is hard.

Also -monogatari. I love that show to death, but damn Koyomi's perspective on everything.

Aha! Fellow comrades in arms! Feel free to join me in my corner of shame any time.

Alas, I don't really do it anymore out of fear of being observed. I still have an rampant imagination though and it sometimes requires conscious effort not to "Pssh! Neeooww!" and act out what's going on in my head.

Personally? I find cosplay, that animal one (dressing up as humanoid animals) and larping fucking mortifying.

you see the anti motivational posters with guys wearing cardboard and "this is how I protect my virginity"or some shit but a guy/gal puts in a hundred hours and an equal amount of cash and they're cool?

Like didn't the escapist just hire a cosplay "expert"/journo/something? And then there is that Jessica nigri girl whose "famous"for dressing like the DOA roster (she might not have actually done the DOA roster but I mean as sexually explicit as).

The larping stuff is just like cringe comedy to me but they aren't doing it for comedy, which makes it all the more cringe worthy. Same goes for the animal one.

I know I've come across as an asshole and I'm very sorry for that it's just not what I'm into.

I'm all for letting your freak flag fly, indulge what what makes you happy and all that but it's like freedom of speech ... you can say what you like but don't be surprised when you're forced to sell your NBA team (was it NBA?) or get fired from your job.

ohhh I remember this happening in a similar way!

le me, in my room, door shut, in 4th grade...had some of those zoids you could build with kits:

Spoiler: example

and I didn't feel like playing video games, so I sat down with the zoids and some of my other toys, and just started roleplaying hardcore, with awesome sounds and plenty of crashing into stuff and setting up chairs/objects to be mountains or vantage points. Some serious toy story shit goin on.

Well in the mean time, I didn't realize that the window was open, and due to the air pressure difference my door had swung open (not hard enough for me to hear it) and probably for a solid minute or two my mom had been standing there watching me...it was embarrassing to the point that she didn't even laugh, she skipped that stage straight into "mortified what the fuck" stage. She tossed me some socks from the laundry load she had just ran and walked away...

I have some MUCH worse stories then that, ones that don't even revolve around jerking off and such, but I might hold onto those so I don't look like a complete freak

I watched Final Fantasy: Advent Children. Some older people who didn't know the franchise at all walked through the room a few times.
I haven't felt comfortable watching that movie ever since.

 

[Shanahanapp]

I dunno, somehow I feel that my mother discovering...."stains" on my bedding is more embarrassing than actually being caught in the act....

Other than that my parents decided to watch Death Note with me (they don't even like anime so I don't know why) which was fine except for, well anyone's who's watched it knows some of Misa's outfits are pretty interesting.

We all dreaded it in our youth. Our parents would walk in and catch us strangling the anaconda (or inchworm, as the case may be), and we would be forever shamed. For all intents and purposes, this would be one of the most embarrassing moments a normal individual could face.

But then there are those moments. You know the ones. The ones that would be even more embarrassing then taming the dragon. They may be completely inoffensive, and not as taboo, but those things are somehow even worse then porn. I've felt that way a few times. The first instance I can think of is playing the opening to FFX-2. It's just that bad. I didn't make it far, but I honestly dreaded that my dad would walk in and disown me if he saw me play this:

What are those things that are so weird, or so bad, that they would leave you more embarrassed then bludgeoning the cat with the tree trunk (I may have weird fetishes). The things so bad, that you would lie and claim that you were watching porn, just to avoid getting caught. Double points if the things aren't really offensive or taboo, just mortifying. Quadruple points if it's a guilty pleasure that you love, that no one can ever know about.

Depends on the porn. I'd be absolutely horrified if anyone I cared about delved into the contents of my harddrive...

I've somehow gotten into this awful cycle with my parents and other elderly relatives. I'm pretty introverted, even (or especially) around them, so whenever I show even the SLIGHTEST outburst they all treat it like it's a HUGE deal, which I HAAAAAAAAAAATE. I tell a mildly funny joke out of nowhere, they laugh way harder than any of my friends would. I start tapping my foot to a song, they treat it like I just started break dancing. It makes me want to express myself even less around them, which makes them even more ecstatic when I do, et cetera. If anyone else started treating me like that I'd just stop talking to them, but obviously I can't do that with my folks.

And of course I did have the one time in my teens when my mom caught me jerkin' it. Oy. I just denied and denied that she saw anything until she dropped it.

 

[WhiteTigerShiro]

What about being caught having sex ? That's definitively worst than watching porn

That depends on who's walking-in. If it's a parent, then yeah, pretty awkward. If it's nearly anyone else though, and it's like "Pull up a chair and have some popcorn, watch me work my magic."

Anyway, for me it'd be while watching an anime. I was able to watch the ENTIRE FUCKING THING in complete privacy, but of course once the series gets to its (admittedly a bit overly-dramatic) emotional conclusion, NOW there's a shit-ton of foot traffic.

 

[kasperbbs]

Anime, most of it anyway. The last and probably the only ones that i didn't care if anyone saw me watching was 'Monster' and 'Ergo proxy', most of them have fucking ten year olds as the protagonists and i can't be bothered to explain that the story is good even though it looks ridiculous and Monogatari might as well be porn.

What about if she doesn't know what they are and asks?

Snip

Snippity snap

I guess I should have put context into my other post.

Me and my girlfriend at the time slept over my parent's house. So we go to bed until hey, we start kissing and we're getting horny OH NOES.
So we tried to have some ''stealth sex'' trying to do as less noise as possible.

It didn't work basically.

Somebody needs to make this into a game. You have to keep an escort alive by getting the odd release in there, but you must do it in shadows, away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi death guards.

in broad strokes, that description sounds more than a little bit like "Custer's Revenge" XD

When I was a child, I would have been infinitely more embarrassed to be discovered watching "digimon" than to be caught watching porn. the "poke vs. digi" was hardcore at my elementary school. you either liked one, or you liked the other, and devil take you if you were in one camp and said anything good about the other.

Ah, to be a child again... I tend to miss arbitrary distinctions separating similar-minded people... now I'm an adult and have proper divisions. Like "PC vs console" or "SJW vs MRA".

Definitely music I've listened to when I was a kid.

"How could this happen to meeeeeeeeeeeee?"

"SON, IF I'VE TOLD YOU ONCE I'VE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES! NO GOOD CHAROLETTE IN THIS HOUSE! NO NICKLEBACK IN THIS HOUSE! AND ABSOLUTELY! NO! JUSTIN BIEBER!"

"But daaaaaa-"

"DON'T YOU WHINE TO ME YOU LITTLE INGRATE! NOW YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS COPY OF LATERALUS, YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO LIKE IT! GOT IT?"

"Yes father..."

...I kid you not, I was actually going to say Nickleback. I'm to understand that Canada 'honors' him with a holiday where they lash him to a post and all take turns slapping him in the face. They call it 'Everybody Slap Chad Kroeger Day'. And if they can't find him, they use Justin Bieber. And sometimes they use Tom Green instead, but they haven't been doing that as much since he got cancer.

Porn watching embarrassment? How about this when I was about 13 (this is pre internet porn and porn movies came on VHS) one of my friends older brother used to get some porn movies on VHS and they would do the rounds in our circle of friends each of us borrowing it for a few nights etc..

One time I caught my mother coming out of my bedroom and when I looked in my hiding place the VHS tape was gone only to be returned the next evening. Then the following day my mom sat me down and gave me the "talk" but she also told me that if I watched these films that it was all fantasy and I shouldn't think that things like that would ever actually happen.

Now that sounds pretty normal and lots of people have experienced it but about 20 years later when you could find any porn film online I went searching for those films that had given me such a thrill as a kid. I didn't recall movie titles or actress names I just could remember my favourite scenes. I then found out that my two favourite women were Kay Parker and Ginger Rodgers and I found various movies with them in. Eventually I found a very memorable clip with Kay Parker because that had been the scene that played on the tape my mom found when I finally got over the embarrassment to watch it knowing my mom knew what I was now doing it my room.

The scene was from a certain film beginning with T and featured mother and son action, I obviously didn't notice as a kid but when I found out I almost died of embarrassment just thinking what my mom would of thought of me and how embarrassing that "talk" was for her as well. She's probably forgotten that long ago but I still avoided her for like two weeks.

Simple Plan is also Canadian. There's that.
