Sex and family are two facts of life, which many prefer to keep separate. Even if you are an adult, sex scenes in movies remain an embarrassing situation and in many cases, parents change the screen or move out of the room.

Why is it so difficult?

"No matter how old you are, accepting the existence of sex in front of your parents can be difficult," says Aimee Daramus, a clinical psychologist.

"Many families are still influenced by tradition or other cultural norms to keep their children 'as clean as possible' for as long as possible."

"Sex is private to many people and not something you share with others," says psychotherapist Melissa Thompson. "Showing such scenes in front of the screen can seem uncomfortable when you are close to other people."

Meanwhile, there is no problem even if you feel comfortable or at least not embarrassed when you watch sex scenes during movies with your parents. It has to do with the cultural relationship that your family and you have with sex, your level of comfort, personal feelings as well as the way it was discussed (or not discussed) during growing up.

However, all of these are relevant, but at the same time they may not be relevant at all.

You may be the most liberal family, but you can still feel embarrassed during a sex scene in the movies. Each of us has a "personalized embarrassment barometer".
