Not sure how it came into conversation, but my mom asked me at dinner why I liked watching Nazi movies. I have thought about this conversation for a long time, but all I could say was "uh...I don't know."

I should have said something like "Do you really want to have this conversation now at dinner?" or "I'm not ready to talk about this now."

But I get so caught off guard when they ask why I'm into WWII and Nazis.

To me, it's like coming out as being gay. It's not something you can answer in 30 seconds. "I'm a Nazi fetishist. I get off by watching Nazi movies and dressing like a Nazi."

I don't know when the right time to tell them why I'm into Nazis, if at all. To me, it's a sexual thing, and do my parents really need to know about what gets me off sexually? But they worry about me and don't understand why I feel this way.

I tell my parents everything, but this is so personal, and I'm so worried they'll try to convince me out of my feelings or be mad or make me feel embarrassed.

What should I do? This is the third time they brought this up.
