my parents divorced when I was 5 around '72, my mom started dating again right away. After a series of guys, she wound up with a guy moving in who just back from two tours in Vietnam, 11 years younger than her.
I'd get awakened at night by her moaning... I thought she was in pain the first few times, and called out to her, but she didn't hear me, and I'd go back to sleep. But finally one night I got out of bed and they wouldn't answer me, or my knocks. So I opened the door, to find him naked between her legs, giving her oral. They both yelled out at me in surprise to get the fuck out of their room and I ran off crying, not understanding. I heard him say after I was back in bed that they needed to lock the door.
I should mention that the one thing they had in common was heavy drinking.
He worked third shift, but would be home some weekends, and they'd tell me to leave and not come back for the day. Or one would ask the other if they want to "fool around" and go upstairs, telling me to stay downstairs. Moaning and howling would follow, and pounding of the bed on the floor.
I didn't have to use my imagination much, as he soon started taking lots and lots of polaroids that they left around, along with their sex toys. I saw my mom and him, and the two of them, doing pretty much everything imaginable.
My friends saw the polaroids, too, when I'd occasionally have them over. I even let them take some home. This was a really, really bad idea. But that's another story.
And of course I stole some, too, and jerked off to them. Plus, he had plenty of porn --Playboy, Penthouse, Oui, Hustler-- that I helped myself to. I had no lack of jerk-off material, although I was always on the lookout for more.
I got to try their vibes and even a portable pussy as a kid. I was pretty young when I started masturbating I guess. Lots of stimulation and how-to materials.
All-in-all though, going on forty years later, I'd describe it mostly as scarring. With my own kids, we are very, very discrete. But give the message that sex in all it's variations is healthy. But I'm pretty sure they haven't had to listen to us, and I've kept our toys under lock and key. If they knew all this, I think they'd thank me.
