Hi Rolan,

I'm sorry you're going through this stuff. I can kind of relate because when I was about 19, I had a similar problem, but I'm wondering what you feel along with your anxiety: I found myself going through changes and feeling guilty or somehow ashamed when a sex scene came on and my dad was in the room. Are you somewhere embarrassed? Awkward?

What helped me, at the time, was to talk to my father openly about it. Or as openly as was possible. But I have always shared a very honest relationship with my dad so it's easy for me. Is there any way for you to talk to your folks about this? Like, perhaps even during some such scene, you could say, "Hmm, I always wonder what I should do when these scenes come on and we're all watching them together. I feel really awkward because ".............". How do you guys feel?" Or something like that?

Hope you can work something out..
