Curiosity killed the cat, but for some of us, it also killed our childhood innocence. For me, it was when I was 8 and grabbed a Loony Tunes VHS out of my stepdad’s closet, only it wasn’t Loony Tunes. It was clown porn. Yeah, you read that right. Two clowns getting down. Messed me up good. Now I’m terrified of clowns and one time I was having sex and the lady’s bed made a weird clown honking noise so I started crying.
Anyways, here are more stories like that.
1.
“My dad’s journal from before I was born. He was so incredibly depressed. He talked about how my older sister cried on her way to kindergarten and it was the first time he’d been able to relate to her in years. Totally broke my heart. I’ve never told him though. That was definitely not meant for me to read.” – cedardream

“I found a riding crop in my parents’ wardrobe. I was like “when the fuck did we get a horse??” – WalpoleTheNonce
3.
“Found some old nudes of my mom when I was like 11. I didn’t realize it was her at first, man I have never lost a boner faster.” – walrustoothbrush
4.
“I was going thru my dad’s hockey bag. Found his cup, thought it was a face mask…it wasn’t till I saw the horrified look on my parents face that I realized it’s not for your face.” – rollandfloor
5.
“My parents had this box of unlabelled VHS tapes all with blank white sleeves in their closet. Finally, home alone one day and sneak one into the VCR and what title pops up? VAGINA TOWN” – MeddlingKids1126
6.
“When I was a kid I looked through my parents closet while they weren’t there and found anal beads I didn’t know what they were but they were squishy so I put them in my mouth and chewed them.” – TheHorseIsASpy
7.
“A bright purple dildo and that’s the last time I went in my father’s closet. It also had a hole in it big enough for a finger which creeped me out.” – philswift728
8.
“When I was a kid there was no such thing as cell phones and we didn’t have magazines so going to the bathroom was pretty boring. One way I used to entertain myself was by playing with a round piece of rubber that sat in the medicine cabinet. I would poke it, stretch it, spin it on my finger. Wasn’t until several years later during sex ed that it suddenly dawned on me that I had been playing with my mother’s diaphragm that whole time…” – Lickingyourmomsanus

“The Joy of Sex” book. Illustrated. Some of those hand-drawn pictures… Oh no. My poor innocent childhood brain.” – __WellWellWell__
10.
“Oh my god, yes. I was 8. Wasn’t really snooping through my parents’ stuff, but our family photo albums. Particularly with mine and my siblings’ as babies. First, I got to my brother’s. It was so colorful and bright and filled with notes written by my mom. Same with my little sister’s. Then I got to mine. It was… boring to say the least. Just plain pictures with no notes or stickers or whatsoever. Then I got to the last page. I remember the exact verbatim of what I read in this small piece of blue sticky paper written by my mom:
“Is there any more I can say? No. Because we really wanted a baby girl.”
An 8-year-old boy bawled that day.” – Peanutshroom
11.
“I spent a lot of time in closets as a child. My favorite place to be. In the back of our cedar closet, I found the Santa suit, wig and beard. Childhood ended. Not NSFW, but damn.” – squishistheword
12.
“I found hentai in my mom’s room when I was 13, and I watched it out of curiosity. I was like, why does this cartoon look like it might be a porn? Anyway, I found out I like hentai. But I don’t really like knowing that my mom gets off to the same flavor of stuff as me. Sometimes that still pops up in my brain and I got to forcefully repress.” – Jyvur_Entropy
