I honestly thought this was going to be the joke that when you turned the lights back on there was a cup of tea left on the bedside table.
I think you’re overthinking it, but it doesn’t make you weird IMO. In all likelihood, everyone in those photos has done what you’re doing. There is absolutely no shame in masturbating, it’s completely normal and natural. As long as you’re doing it in private or with other consenting adults, you have nothing to be ashamed of.
I’m not sure how to get you past the mental block of doing it around photos of family members, I honestly have never considered that, but just know what you’re doing is completely acceptable and not something to be embarrassed about.
everyone in those photos has done what you’re doing
oh great something new for OP to consider while just trying to nut 😆
'What's Granny doing?' is the big question.
same as she's been doing for decades: two fingers, left-right wiggle
I didn't even need to finish reading to know you're over thinking it. It's normal to feel awkward doing stuff like that in a situation like that. Just breathe. It'll probably take time for the house to start to feel normal
It's ok to feel awkward about it. Even if you are "overthinking", it's a perfectly valid reaction to the scenario. It would make a good number of people out there uncomfortable.
I can't masturbate so I don't have a ton of advice, but I think the shower is going to be your best option like others say.
Yes, you’re overthinking it.. It’s just rubbing one out.
Go to the bathroom.
I considered that, but I typically always lay down and look at my phone
Get used to standing in the shower? That's what I do so I don't make a mess.
Making a mess has never been an issue for me but I see what you’re saying.
- Use your phone to take overview pictures of where the photos are located.
- Put all the photos in a drawer
- When you are ready to move out, use the photos from step 1 to put everything back where it was.
That Would be a good idea, the only thing about it is, though I don’t think it would likely happen while I’m inside, she could technically walk in anytime she wanted to, Recently, she talked about moving some storage out of the closet space to give me more room, so that’s another thing that she might try to do as well.
Any hot cousins? Maybe just focus on them for now
This is sick. To much xxx for you.. already brain is damaged.
Wow. You've given me a lot to think about here.
Hey you wanna maybe grab a drink and talk about it?
