My son and anime

[trampledamage]

For all we know he can be a player and having sex every night

If he did, the TS wouldn't be worried, right? So he's obviously not that much of a player.

If he says there are a couple of girls he could have sex with, then he's not doing too badly!

(I agree with An Officer, I never thought I'd read a thread where a mom is worried her son's not watching porn!)

 

[Emher]

^Yeah most definetly not! If I only I could make that claim

 

[Gepard]

I probably shouldn't be -- but I'm getting creeped out.

This is a creepy thread.

 

[Sephiroth]

watch some Anime yourself, MissChicken, Cowboy Bebop's a good start

Why? Why should I consider looking at legal porn a bad thing? I looked at porn when I was in my 20s, I usually watched it with a couple of my boyfriends and I think it helped to spice up our relationship.

Porn has been around since man first started drawing.

I am amused at women who complain about their husbands looking at porn especially when they consider that it is a form of cheating. I think that is strange.

If I have no trouble with my male partners looking at porn why shouldn't I think that it is normal for my adult son to want to look at it to? Am I meant to become a prude and look down on porn just because I became a mother?

You say your son is responsible, just a bit immature for his age. I wouldn't worry about it. He sounds like a bit of a dreamer, and there is nothing wrong with that. Too, he could simply find that porn isn't to his liking because of what it represents; a temporary substitute for the real deal. He may be more of a pragmatist (it sounds like he is more of a pragmatist), and yes, one can be a dreamer and a pragmatist at the same time. Sounds to me like he's rather well rounded, to be honest, and his attitudes seem very healthy.

Well, the whole back-and-forth about how much a mother sohuld know about her adult son's porn habits is...unsettling. I speak from experience.

I'm 30 (in a little over a month anyway) and I like anime but it's not all I watch. I watch it sporadically when I discover a series I like.

For porn: I can only speak for myself, but the huge part of the thrill was that I wasn't supposed to see it. Once I turned 18, it wasn't taboo, no one cared, and the big deal about it vaporized. When I went into the a video store, around the same time, I went into the adult section and at first it felt great that I could finally go into this previously off-limits area, and then the first thing I saw was an old man, probably around 70, who had a stack of five or six pornos that he wanted to rent and that killed it for me. I didn't want to head down the course of Dirty Old Man. So, I haven't rented porn in 12 years.

Didn't stop one of my friends from getting me a porno for a Christmas present when I was in college though.

I think it's great that the lines of communication between you and your son are so open on such matters, Miss C.

I think you will find that most mothers have quite a knowledge of their sons' porn habits but just do not talk about it out of embarassment.

I know one woman who saw some gay sex magazines in her son's room but is too embarassed to ask him if he is gay (he is I assure you). If she had been more opened about sexuality he probably could come out of the closet.

If he's 26 he should even have sex twice a week.

As a 26 year old, I find that just . The "should" part, I mean. Obviously if the circumstances were right some people would, but.....

As a 25 year old, I like the way DiSiLLUSiON thinks. Too bad I'm having no sex a week.

 

[Newski]

My son who is 26 years old loves to watch anime. Except for the occasional sci-fi movie, a handful of TV shows (Dexter, Supernatural and Heroes) and wrestling, anime is about all he watches.

Now I don't look at anime because the characters big eyes freak me out. Therefore I don't know much about anime. Some of the anime he likes is

Ghost in a Shell
Bleach
Black Cat
Full Metal Alchemist
Inu Yashu
ChronoCrusade
Dragonball Z

Is it normal for a young man to be looking at anime (rather than porn)?

Anime is the latest annoying pop culture fad. I got out of it a few years ago. It's totally okay, as long as they don't start making statement like "It's not cartoons, it's anime" or "Japanese Shows are better than American ones" and other obnoxious stuff. Make sure he doesn't start using Japanese words in his English sentences.

The moment he starts saying Anime is not a fad, it's a lifestyle, it's time for an intervention.

As long as it doesn't control his life, and Girlfriends remain more important to him than Goku's Power Levels (which are, I believe, quite hight), he's okay.

 

[Lindley]

Oh, I agree it's a nice idea in theory. Just like finding the right girl and settling down is nice in theory. The practicalities are always a little more difficult. For instance, it helps to actually be attracted to someone now and then.

Moa Newski-chan, you're so baka. Anime is totally kawaii

Your son is 26, this is none of you business.

If you REALLY want to do him a favour, give him 60 days notice and then kick him out of your house. He will thank you eventually.

Well, he did say he's got multiple options open to him; he should make use of them.
