“Is that your mum?”

Reddit user ‘ToFat2Fish’ nearly broke the internet this week when he posted the following question: “Children of porn stars. How has this affected you growing up?”

And there definitely was no shortage of answers, with 3897 people responding to the thread within 48 hours. But it wasn’t the number of responses that has people talking. It’s the things that these so-called ‘children of porn’ had to share.

And many of them, as it turns out, are decidedly more normal than you may have expected.

Like this guy, who found out his dad was heavily involved in the adult film industry from a young age:

There was also this girl, who has clearly benefited from her mum’s, umm, flexible career moves…

But we started to feel sorry for users who shared their less-than-desirable parental-porn experiences. Like this poor soul…

Yeah, sorry but that’s pretty hard to imagine.

This guy even had to change schools …

Aaaand shit started to get really weird with this bunch of comments that made us scratch our heads. Because, ummm, well you’ll see…

Yep. Don’t know if that rates as “kinda funny” or just “kinda strange”.

But we think this dad takes the cake for managing to keep his long list of accomplishments under wraps for so darn long. He shared his experience of being a parent of four, with a history in the adult film industry. And we definitely like his approach to the situation for his youngest…

Don’t worry Mr. X, we think your youngest will try and steer clear of the internet too!
