My mother knows that I read / watch ( but doesn't know that some are quite extreme with rape, etc..) and is totally open to it but there's no way I'd watch it with her. Even though I don't have any taboos subjects with her, I wouldn't even think or watching one with her nor even talk to her about it because I know that she doesn't have any interes...... reply

When she asked me if i read mang...... 1 reply

It's an acronym thatbmeans "plotless & meaningless." One does not watch porn with their parents. I can't even bare to watch straight people kiss on tv shows if relatives are in the same room.
