Do you keep your perversion a secret?

From your family? Friends?

I don't. Then again, I hate my family and my friends don't give a shit. Either way, I don't think you should. Sure, your family may disown you and your current friends may expel you from their group, but that will give you the opportunity to meet the right friends. Not necessarily friends that share this particular interest, but ones that will be cool with it.

"Oh, him? That's Dave. He likes big asses, that scamp."

My family know I'm a pervert, though they have no idea to what extent, nor want to know, and it's better taht way. My friends, yes, they do know, I mean, I even brag when new Fakku books get home XD

Pretty much this with the added "watching hentai with friends with the dub and lots of beer" part.

My porn is in my room and my office. Everyone know my chinese drawing porn.

I don't really talk to my family about the stuff I'm into sexually because why would I? I have told them amusing stories, however. And if my friends want to talk about sex and such I'll tell them. I figure that if they are horribly disgusted then that's their problem and I'm generally not the topic initiator. Usually it works out fine. The worst that's ever happened to me is that this one girl started talking about all this kinky shit I had shared with her in the middle of a nice dinner with a mutual friend's parents. I was eventually just like, "Ok, what are you doing? This is not appropriate dinner conversation, shut up." Everyone else pretty much agreed and she ended up looking like the socially awkward odd duck but I felt a wee bit violated by the fact that my sexual exploits had just been brought up out of nowhere over fondue in front of people who knew very little about me besides the fact that I was friends with their beloved daughter.

I don't make it public knowledge but if someone was to, for whatever reason, ask me what type of porn I like I wouldn't lie.
But then I have some pretty open minded friends.

Pretty much this for me too. Besides, the topic of porn rarely comes up among family and close friends. Plus, they've known my interests in anime and manga for years, and I think it was only natural for a few of my friends to conclude that I'd be into the adult-oriented genres of both. I'd be annoyed by the stereotyping if it weren't true...
(-_-;)

EDIT:
On the otherhand, now that I really think about it, there are one or two personal fetishes that I would probably not want to really share or try to skate around the issue if they ever came up, simply because of how easy it would be for some of those close to me to get the wrong impression. But as far as general things like my porn-viewing habits or favorite sites, etc., I've got no problem with sharing that sort of thing.

I'm selective about whom I share this with, directly or inderectly, meaning: I have books laying around, but not the hardcore or NTR ones.
I've been a bit obsessed the last two years, so I've been talking to some people about my "hobby." I explain to them that they associate hentai with anime, while I prefer eroge and manga. and a bit of what's behind my liking of the stuff.
Two things usually blindside them: that I read it primarily for the story, and depending on who it is: some of the more unusual fetishes. I have explained to a few people what scat is, the reactions were priceless.

What irks me most is that I don't know anyone else in person that's into hentai, so I try to spread the corruption little bit by bit by just being open and clear about it. I've let a friend of mine read some vanilla comedy chapters that I picked out. They didn't seem very interested and I was annoyed by that.

No not really. If I'm by myself in public then yeah, I keep my dirty sense of humor to myself. With friends, I'm more open about talking about perverse subjects and making quips and stuff, even in public (though in public I still limit myself. )

When drunk and with friends, it seems all bets are off. I've done things while hammered such as...

I don't talk about my perverted side, but I don't try to hide it either. My parents already know i'm into hentai, me and my brother shared a hentai key account at one point (We both hail Front innocent as the best H vid ever created). As for the rest of my family, I'm sure they either don't know or don't care. I don't have any friends to share my interests with.

If you're talking about gaming,anime,manga,doujinshi,foreign movies & foreign shows and if you're also talking about that i love hentai & i love hentai stuff then honestly i don't know should i keep it a secret from them and i don't know how much do they know and hopefully they never find out & hopefully they never find out about my other collection of gaming,anime,manga,doujinshi,hentai,Final Fantasy,gaming stuff,anime stuff,manga stuff,hentai stuff,Final Fantasy stuff,foreign movies and foreign shows including adult games,eroge games,hentai games,varies visual novel games & otome games even though i love other games,anime & manga other then adult games,eroge games,hentai games,varies visual novel games & otome games.

so for now so far I'm keeping it a secret about me from my family,my friends & sorry i might as well and include I'm keeping it a secret about me from girls & women when & if i put myself out there dating again & if i choose to anyway like i said i don't know should i keep this a secret about me don't i don't know yet and to end it here no i don't know am I in the closet or open about this about me before you ask me :).

When I was in college, yes, I had tried to "keep it a secret", due to very troublesome reasons.

First, my parents are pious Catholics, and both of them are involved in some church works. It would be a big shitstorm if they knew of my inclinations from a religious point of view, and more troubling if it leaked out to the neighbors. Got to keep appearances. Well, especially as I ended up as an altar boy I had to keep a clean slate. Nobody will know shit, because if I had to confess it, some priests would freak out.

As well in college, I ended up studying at UST. It's the largest Catholic university in Asia, and most of my classmates are saintly types involved in religious and charity works in their offtimes. I'm surrounded by dainty little saintly dipshits. Although I was able to identify some classmates who I can share my h-movies early on, safely vetting who to trust was a long row to hoe.

But when I graduated and started working, I realized that I had obsessed over the secrecy thing too much, and I had to adjust. Thankfully the pesky restrictions fell in one big swoop.

Which was why I reframed my approach to keeping my perversion to myself. I termed it now as a combo of "none of their business" and "keep a lid on it". I don't keep it a secret anymore as much, but I never blurt it out in public or start viewing GetChu eroge pages in public cafes. I kept some of the old tech habits I had in college, such as using a portable browser in my USB stick for my browsing habits. But I do keep a lid on it. It's not like my coworkers don't know some naughty bits of my preferences - drinking paydays get those out quick, and it's all within adult talk - but I don't let it all spill out.

But probably when my personal situation changes, I think I'll have to resume keeping it a tight secret until a certain point. Until then, just keeping it steady.

I have only told a few people, but I already knew beforehand they also were into hentai. Otherwise it is a secret. One of my friends is quite vocal about how gross she thinks it is. She is missing out though ha ha!

One of my guy friends knows most of the extent, but otherwise I keep it under wraps, I am vocal of my love for Trump so, it'd be too much.

Only the lady knows cause she experienced it first hand.....huehuehue

I keep it a secret from people that wouldn't understand.

This is the first episode (out of six) of a cool anime about sharing perversion with friends:

R u talking 'bout animus n leaving the closet n shit?


Also, my boss at work and I talk all the time 'bout good looking or bad looking clients and coworkers. The dishwasher guy and I are always showing each other videos of 11/10 asses. A coworker who got fired used to show mini sex vids of delicious chocolate hoe's he was dating. Lifeisgood.jpg

I don't share hentai with those who hardly even know what anime is. Explaining things from ground zero can be frustrating. I've posted lewd, yet sfw things on facebook, which my family are on, so they kinda have an idea that my interests can be out of the ordinary at times. I even explained to some what futa, and bukakke are, and they never asked "why do you know that?" I don't go into details of some of the things I indulge in, much like I wouldn't share details of my private sexual experiences with them either. Some things are best left private.

My friends, I'll share whatever. Most of them are just fellow weebs whom I met at anime cons. I was surprised by how many attractive girls are into hentai. I know more girls who are into it than guys.

I'm not one to hide things. Iv'e had more than 1 family member stumble upon some pretty weird shit. For example my onaholes and over the top sex toys. I don't delete search histories. I bookmark hentai sites etc. As a matter of fact my mother recently discovered one of my more prized devices. A very hefty, lifelike Ass with butthole and pussy included. I have pretty much stumbled over the same shit with my family over time. Found my bros porn mags at a very young age. Found my parents LARGE COLLECTION of various foreplay devices, material etc. I guess my family is pretty freaking perverted. I mean I think it's human nature ya know? We are all pretty perverted. Society is the disease that breaks down our nature. IT tries to make us conform in ways to hide things that is common. I guess I'm saying society really divides us more now than it ever has in the past. I mean ffs (not trying to go too off topic) its considered weird or unlady-like for ladies to fart, burp, shit. Like seriously? its nonsensical. People are supposed to hide their libidos and sexual fantasies as well. Society in general needs to be more open about A LOT of things. As far as open discussion is concerned with family. I've made plenty of jokes to close family about the shit I have. I make super gay jokes, stuff about me having anal beads so on and so forth. Its a great way to lighten a mood, bring down some intensity or stop an argument. I've had more serious discussion with my brother more than any of my other family members. I mean we are bros so its probably a lot less awkward that way being 4 years apart and all. We go on and on about nasty sex videos like cum omelette and 2 girls one cup to nasty cumshot vids. I tell him about the hentai I enjoy. along with the different tags I prefer such as futa and forced for example. Most of my friends in life have been fellow nerds or anime fans. I think most anime fans also enjoy hentai. So, I've had plenty of friendly conversations about my perversions. They are fairly on par with the brotherly talks. There are a few things I keep secret. A lot of people don't know I'm a fan of forced. I'm looked at as a fairly timid, caring person. I think people would get the wrong message with that one. "MAN THIS GUY IS A RAPIST" people can get easily confused with the difference between fantasy and reality (yet we have 50(ier) shades of grey, which is pretty bdm forcey from what I hear, so maybe people are opening up more to those sort if fantasy ideas.) I personally think there are certain things such as forced, yaoi, trap... things that can blend over to reality, keep that stuff on lock down. You don't want to give off wrong impressions to 21st century man. People are too quick to judge, non understanding of differences, etc.

I only talk about perverted stuff with close friends. Most people that don't really know me, including my family, have no idea I'm even interested in anything sexual. That isn't to say I'm trying to hide it, I pride myself in my honesty, but I'm not really asked and I don't bring it up first.
