My Mom Told Me, “Mujhe Blue Film Dekhni Hai”

About six months ago, my mother called me on the phone, and said, “mujhe blue film dekhni hai (I want to watch a blue film). “Wow,” I remember thinking, that term still exists.

"

“Teen maheene se tumhaare papa ne humko chuaa bhi nahi hai (Your father hasn’t even touched me in the last three months),” which was her way of saying that they hadn’t had sex.

I find it interesting to think about my mother because we are supposed to be a sex-positive generation and our parents were from a generation which did not talk about sex.

The Generation Gap

Talking About Sex

After someone in my family got married, she asked her, “Kya tum satisfied ho? (Are you satisfied?)” to ask if they had sex on the suhaag raat.

So much of our understanding of sex comes from porn (and we watch crazy, random things), and envisioning our siblings or parents doing stuff like that is weird.

Sex Talk With Parents

The Porn Conversation

When I had the porn conversation with my mother, and I gave her the link to watch porn, she asked me, “How do you know all this?” I remember being very uncomfortable

There is a need to see the sex positivity of previous generations, as well as perhaps our lack of it. Because as sex-positive we might think we are, when it comes to parents, we still seem to be subject to our conditioning.
