History Main / ParentalSexualitySquick

* After peeking through the key hole into his parents' bedrom, the kid sighs and says:"And ''these'' people give me crap for picking my nose!"

* ''Film/BillAndTedsExcellentAdventure'' uses the "give him money to go get himself ice cream while we do it" variant. Also gives Ted a way to annoy Bill over the MayDecemberRomance between Bill's dad and [[AdoptivePeerParent a girl just three years older than Bill himself]]. Of course, Bill is presumably also put out because his parents are kicking him out of his own bedroom to do it, which is perfectly understandable.

** This is weaponized by Ruby and Yang's [[CoolUncle uncle Qrow]], who tells a story about how he was [[DirtyOldMan "defeated"]] by a waitress' skirt to distract them while they're playing a fighting game against each other. Then when he brings out a photo of the team he was a part of with their parents, Team STRQ (Stark)...
-->'''Qrow:''' We were pretty well known back in the day.\\
'''Ruby:''' Well known for crummy fashion sense.\\
'''Qrow:''' Hey, we looked good! And I have a number of inappropriate stories that'll back that up... but I'll save them for when you're older.\\
'''Ruby:''' ''[shuddering]'' Eww, gross.

* ''{{Series/Cursed}}'': Nimue looks away hurriedly and begs Merlin to move the vision along in time when it shows her parents embracing passionately, clearly about to have sex (quite possibly when she'd been conceived), narrowly avoiding an unwanted {{primal scene}}.

* ''Literature/LoomingGaia'': In "Hereditary", [[spoiler:Evan tells Connor, who recently contacted lycanthropy, to think about something disgusting every time he sees blood so he won't crave it as much. Connor tries thinking about his mother's squash soup, a through full of pig slop, and a maggot-infested horse carcass, but Evan gets him really disgusted by mentioning that his parents had sex at least once.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' runs into this with his and Shiklah's daughter, Warda in the 2099 story. Warda hates her father but thinks highly of her mother.

* ''ComicBook/MsMarvelBeyondTheLimit'': Downplayed as Parental Affection Squick -- in the first issue, Kamala finds her parents being mushy and affectionate to be very off-putting.

* In ''Comicbook/SuperiorSpiderMan'', when Peter discovers he is able to rifle through Octavius's memories, he finds one of the night before Doc Ock's planned marriage to Aunt May (the plot of a real comic from 1973), and quickly tries to convince himself he hadn't.
* The 26th issue of ''ComicBook/TomStrong'' has Tom's daughter Tesla Strong express disgust at the realization that her parents are having sex as they are returning to Earth.

-->'''Harry:''' My Dad is uch a perv. Can't portrait people shag other portraits?\\

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', Timmy, having wished he was adult, watches an adult movie and is squicked when he sees the characters on screen kissing. He then sees his parents making out a few rows down and is even more disgusted, screaming "IT BURNS!" while covering his eyes.

'''Trunks:''' [[FunWithSubtitles [=[External]] [[BrickJoke Screaming]=]]]

* ''Fanfic/TheSecretReturnOfAlexMack'': Alex is incredibly grossed out when her mother mentions using a diaphragm. Given Alex's novel biochemistry, though, it's important to consider her contraceptive options...

* There is a ''WesternAnimation/MeetTheRobinsons'' [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4130634/1/Dating-Advice fanfic]] where Lewis [[ItMakesSenseInContext ends up swapping dating stories with his]] KidFromTheFuture Wilbur and mentions that one of the girls he dated prior to Franny (Wilbur's mother) helped him realize how much he liked kids; Wilbur comments on how disturbing he finds that. Lewis points out that he needs to like kids for Wilbur to exist; Wilbur counters "There are many things necessary for my existence that I don't like to think about." Lewis can't respond because he's laughing so hard.
* In ''Fanfic/MassEffectEndOfDays'', a human boy born to an Alliance AI and a human (ItMakesSenseInContext) hears his mother discussing sexuality with Legion. Reaction... predictable.
* ''[[https://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/s/legend-of-zelda-fan-fiction/the-legend-of-link-lucky-number-13/19769 The Legend of Link: Lucky Number 13]]'':
** Link -- using his godly insight -- accidentally witnesses his parents having sex in a bathroom.
--->'''Link:''' Today's life lesson: seeing your parents have sex is gross, even if you're a god.
** Later lampshaded by [[TopGod Fate]]:
--->'''Fate:''' ... and children, lest you want to [[PrimalScene see your mothers naked]], I'd turn away.

* ''Fanfic/ABoyAGirlAndADogTheLeithianScript'': Elves don't find discussions concerning sex inappropriate or squicky, not even when it's about family members' sex lives, and they find funny how humans make a big deal of it.
-->'''Soldier:''' [nodding] I don't see how she could have been right about it: he was able to touch the Silmaril, after all, and if mortal flesh were inherently corrupt that oughtn't have been possible. -- How come Men are so peculiar about something as normal as the conception of their own offspring? I've never understood why you all make such an issue of it, especially since you need so many of them. Why would mortal parents want to pretend to their children that they just happen along out of thin air --\\
'''Ranger:''' -- or under rocks, don't forget under rocks --\\
[Beren covers his face with his hand, laughing in spite of himself]\\
'''Soldier:''' -- even when everyone knows it isn't true?\\
'''First Guard:''' [musingly] I think for the same reason that mortal children want to pretend the same thing. It's like the time we were visiting Eithel Sirion and there was a new human guardsman there who wanted to know what the celebration was for, and we told him, and after he finished coughing and someone fetched him a new drink, it turned out he thought we were joking.\\
'''Third Guard:''' You saying back, "You mean you don't remember it?" didn't help convince him otherwise. It was funny, but we never understood why the High King's Men would rather congratulate the Prince on his birth than his conception. It seemed like silly semantic games to me.\\
'''Second Guard:''' We could ask Beren instead of speculating.\\
'''First Guard:''' We could, but he'd just get even more embarrassed than he already is.
* In ''Fanfic/UnexpectedSurprise'':
** When Adrien tells Nino and Alya about him and Marinette using condoms which were already inside the room, Nino points out that, since the apartment used to be his mother's, they must have been intended for... at which point Adrien asks him not to go there.
** Emma, when she sees Adrien kissing her mommy's neck, acts disgusted... and points out that when a guy wants a girl to like him, he's supposed to kiss her lips.

** In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4552342/1/One-Stressful-Week-in-Sunyshore One Stressful Week in Sunyshore,]]'' after learning about Riley's crush on Byron, Roark goes home and promptly has a nightmare where he walks in on the two of them having sex and completely loses it.

'''Riley:''' [[NotHelpingYourCase Only seventeen years!]]
** In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/5999638 That's Why I Love You,]]'' Byron prepares a Valentine's Day gift for Roark and another for Riley, but [[HilarityEnsues gets the packages mixed up,]] resulting in Riley receiving a bag of candy and a stuffed Cranidos, while Roark gets a box containing imported dark chocolate and a man thong. He is not happy when he finds out who it's for.

* ''Fanfic/MultiversalConstants'' being an AlternateDimension fanfic, it gives [[KidFromTheFuture Jon and Damian]] the opportunity to react like this.
** Jon actually was a huge ShipperOnDeck for his (alternate-future) parents, but when they finally get together and Conner jokes about Jon's counterpart being born nine months later, his reaction is a big pile of NOPE.
** To explain how wrong he finds alternate Dick crushing on Zatanna -- who's MUCH older in his home dimension -- Damian says it would be like his eldest brother was dating his mother.
* In ''Fanfic/TheShoeboxProject,'' the Marauders get TheTalk. James gets it from his mom while his dad gives it to Sirius, and they argue over who had the worse experience.

* In ''Fanfic/AFewNeededAdjustments'', Keisuke is uncomfortable hearing Kyubi describing his past affair with Fumi. By contrast, Natsume (who just learned Kyubi is her biological dad) is just bored:
-->'''Kyubi:''' She was so much more polite, kind, and beautiful than any other lady.\\
'''Keisuke:''' OK, I'm not listening to you gross people anymore.\\
'''Kyubi:''' I didn't know she was married at first. I just saw, conquered, and came.\\
'''Keisuke:''' OK, Natsume, I'm just going to bed, my fingers are not working.
* In a ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' fanfic, set in the future, the original Rangers are now middle-aged, and their children are serving as Rangers. Kimberly is married to Rocky. They have seven children, including a set of twins. The oldest, 18-year-old Billy, finds out that the original Billy (now deceased) is his actual father, and Rocky isn't. In the end, that makes him feel ''relieved''. Why? Because now he can imagine that Kimberly and Rocky have had sex only five times, instead of six.
* In one episode of ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged'', Serena, after being drained and trapped by a monster, awakes (naked for some reason) in a mental world with Luna. Believing she's dead (and therefore free from being Sailor Moon), she hugs Luna in joy, just as Queen Serenity shows up, leading to this conversation:
-->'''Queen Serenity:''' Hello, my daughter!\\
'''Serena:''' Mom, [[NotWhatItLooksLike it's not]] [[BestialityIsDepraved what you think!]]\\
'''Queen Serenity:''' No, trust me, I get it; [[OpenMindedParent we each have our own kinks]]. I remember when your father....\\
'''Serena:''' [[TooMuchInformation Mom, I've had enough emotional scarring for one day!]]
* The Season 3 Epilogue of ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' has deleted scenes where Trunks talks to Bulma about how little she prepared him for Vegeta. She proceeds to, in this deleted scene, talk about how she and Vegeta had sex and Bulma went along with it.
-->'''Bulma:''' At that point, I figured "in for a penny, in for a pounding", and I ''really'' was.\\
'''Trunks:''' [[FunWithSubtitles [External]] [[BrickJoke Screaming] ]]
* ''Fanfic/SodaAt70Proof''; Rachel gets grossed out when her parents tell her about how her mother ExperimentedInCollege:
-->'''Dad''': "Cut your mother some slack. She means well. There was that whole phase she went through in college…"\\
'''Rachel''': "Uh, [[IgnoringBySinging la la la la la]]."\\
'''Dad''': "Heh, sorry. It's just that seeing her all over that other girl made me realize how jealous I was and how much I loved her."\\
'''Rachel''': "Ew! Can you censor yourself? Censor yourself in front of your daughter? Please?"
* Inverted in ''Fanfic/BackToZero'' when Cassidy casually talks about Jessie's sex life with their boss Giovanni. Unbeknownst to either Cassidy or Jessie, Giovanni is Jessie's father. Giovanni isn't exactly interested in hearing about his child's intimate life.
* Downplayed in ''Fanfic/AmazingFantasy''. After an ImagineSpot gives Izuku a RagingStiffie, he desperately tries to get it to go away by trying to ThinkUnsexyThoughts. One of the images he brings up is his AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents kissing.
* In ''The Fanfic/OfficialFanfictionUniversity of Literature/{{Redwall}}'', when the infamous "Of Warlords and Pleasures" fics come to the staff's attention, Veil Sixclaw is subject to this despite the Swartt Sixclaw fic being the least bad of the bunch.
* Played with in ''Fanfic/RecoveryNone'' as Church and Tex aren't Carolina's parents but are AI based off them. While fusing back together, they sound like they're having sex. Because Church was still connected to the comms system, that meant poor Carolina heard every detail. When Tex confirms that she and Church had sex (or the closest thing to it for an AI), Carolina is visibly queasy and nearly throws up.

* ''Fanfic/PathOfNeedles'': Sarada is grossed out when her parents reveal that they're having another baby. She thought they were "too old" to still be having sex, despite that Sasuke and Sakura are only thirty-three.
* ''Fanfic/UsAndThem'': Aeris does not want to think about her parents doing the deed, ''at all''.
** Her response after getting the haul of sexy items that were foisted on her by a bridal goods shop ready to take back and realizing Ifalna kept one pair of black panties: "Eww."
** After she laments how hard it must have been for her parents after she and Seph got married, he points out to Aeris (who has just given birth), that since her mother is as far along as she is, they probably had other things on their minds. Aeris promptly buries her head under the covers and starts singing until he stops.
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20561096 Rising Heat]]'' by Solcane (NSFW), Adrien, when speaking to his father, keeps remembering how him and Marinette had TheirFirstTime during a class tour. It's a rather embarrassing case of arousal he struggles to keep hidden... until Gabriel drops a few words implying Adrien was conceived during a similar trip, and possibly even at the same place.
* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Happens a few times in these stories, in all cases expressed using the phrase “TMI.”
** In “The Autobiography,” Penny is disgusted by the possibility that her mother may be looking at porn on her laptop.
** In “The Cameo,” Bolt is embarrassed by his father’s dissolute sex life.
* ''Fanfic/SonOfTheSannin'': When Kurama is explaining to Naruto why he fears being sealed in the Gedo Mazo statue so much, he tells Naruto to imagine if someone tried to shove him back in his mother's womb, a comparison that makes Naruto scream in disgust.
* ''Fanfic/TheBlackSheepDogSeries'' has a disguised Sirius completely ''mortified'' when his aunt Lucretia loudly discusses of the fact that his parents vigorously tried to conceive an heir every day, for four years, before his birth. At a party.
* ''Fanfic/{{Unchained|UmeiNoMai}}'' zigzags with the trope. Uchiha Tajima is pretty chill when his daughter decides to steal a man for herself and Senju Toka mercilessly teases her younger cousin over his sex life, but Izuna's brothers are horrendously awkward and embarrassed by every reminder of their sister's marriage.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/15484335?view_adult=true Sakamoto vs. Takamaki]]'' has Jean Takamaki (Ann and Shiho's son born from insemination) invoke this on Natsumi Sakamoto (Ryuji and Hifumi's daughter) to get her to stop attacking him, by pointing out that since Natsumi's birthday is exactly nine months after Ryuji's birthday, she was essentially conceived as her father's birthday present, much to her horror. Unfortuently for him, it only lasts a few times before he jokes that she wore ribbons in her hair as a kid because she was her dad's birthday present, leading her to punch him in the face and runs off. He admits to a confused Yoshio Sakamoto that he had that coming.
* ''[[Fanfic/DescribingTheSeriesViaReferences Describing The Series Via References]]'' features the main cast of ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' reading their series' [[Memes/{{RWBY}} memes]]. Several of those memes relate to either how sexy their parents are, or the sexual escapades of Ruby and Yang's father. The characters are suitably mortified.
* [[https://www.instagram.com/p/CWd8yyehwC_/ This parody]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' has Amity discovering a hickey on her mother's neck, to which the twins quickly put two and two together; Amity is mortified, Edric is disgusted, but Emira is hopeful that they might get another sibling.
* ''Fanfic/HeroChat'': The heroes discuss Hawkmoth having a bird kink after he Akumatizes Jagged Stone into the bird-themed "Canary", complete with Glam Rock makeup and fishnet stockings. Luka asks if they can kinkshame Hawkmoth another time since said Akuma was his dad, but to no avail.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/31320704/chapters/77442398 Just The Three Of Us]]'', an WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} fic, has Anne dealing with this in her twenties when she and her girlfriends Sasha and Marcy accidentally get some of her parents 'private photos' mixed in with some Halloween stuff. This trope is not helped out by the fact that Sasha and Marcy think Anne's mom's still pretty hot, so Anne's both mortified by seeing her mom in sexy poses for her father ''and'' by Sasha calling her mom a 'caramel milf-shake'.
* Inverted in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/42003537 Gabriel gets used to... (Adrien having a Girlfriend)]]''. There, it's Gabriel who is forced to order extra soap to wash out his eyes whenever he encounters evidence that his son's relationship with Marinette progresses as expected for their age rather than seven to ten years younger.
* Inverted and PlayedForDrama in ''Fanfic/StrategySetsTheSceneForTheTale'' with Alicent Hightower, in order to show how deeply repressed and smothering she is. Being horrified by your son cheating on his fiancée with prostitutes might be justified, but feeling disgusted because your son has consensual, loving sex with his bride on their wedding night certainly ''isn't''.
* Raz seems to find Milla and Sasha being affectionate with one another rather exasperating in ''Fanfic/RazputinVodelloAU''.
* ''Webcomic/NaruHinaChronicles'': In Chapter 96, Naruto stumbles upon one of his dad's equipment satchels, which contains pictures of Minato and Kushina together... along with a picture of his mother naked. He's understandably mortified at the last one.
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14174734/12/My-Old-Kentucky-Home My Old Kentucky Home]]'' Pandora Lovegood has an encounter with Narcissa Malfoy after feeding her marijuana brownies.
-->'''Lily:''' Well as long as you didn't catch anything.\\
'''Pandora:''' She is very careful and I made certain I was as well.\\
'''Harry:''' Can we not talk about that. Parent sex is not cool.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/23305792/chapters/63023899#workskin Love Isn't What You Always Think It Is]]'':
-->'''Snape:''' True. We have had some epic fights. I think the longest we went without speaking to each other was a week and it only lasted that long because someone was hurt and unconscious. I did thank you properly for quitting after that?\\
'''Harry:''' Yes, you did. Once I recovered, I believe you prescribed three more days of bed rest and we didn't do much resting.\\
'''Septimus:''' Ohhhh yuck, so didn't need to hear that. It's bad enough watching the two of you kissing but to hear you discussing that. Sorry, my parents are virgins.
* ''Fanfic/TheDarkLordsOfNerima'': In the last chapter of the sequel, Sailor Pluto mentions that the new timeline they've created will result in Chibi-Usa being conceived sooner. She glances over at Mamoru and Usagi and winces at the thought.

-->'''Pacha:''' Oh, you two can stay up. We're just gonna be sitting here talking about how much we ''love each other.'' ''(snuggles Chicha)'' Right, honey?\\

Compare IBangedYourMom, AffectionHatingKid (though most affection that kids gag at in media is SFW), OldPeopleAreNonsexual (the belief that aging should kill sexuality). Contrast TheTalk, which can be used to prevent this.

* ''Series/OnceUponATime'': Despite having SupernaturallyYoungParents and not being raised by them, Emma is still perturbed by walking in on Snow and Charming post-coital early in the series. She [[INeedToGoIronMyDog awkwardly exits]], much to her parents' amusement. Charming remarks that it's "impressive" that they can "still give her traumatic childhood memories at this stage in the game."

* Inverted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDea7laHD4E "Batmetal Forever"]]. When Batgirl starts stripping at the rock concert, her father Commissioner Gordon awkwardly shields his eyes.

* ''Series/{{Wednesday}}'': One of the most endearing aspects of [[Franchise/TheAddamsFamily Gomez and Morticia Addams]] has always been how passionately affectionate they are, but on ''Wednesday'', it's a running joke that their teenage daughter finds their endless making out to be gross/annoying.

* You could be the product of In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), informally called a "test-tube baby." But then, IVF is expensive, even when covered by insurance, and is generally only done after couples have been trying to conceive via the "natural method" for a long period of time.
