So may lies concerning sex!
My Mum is a strict Catholic, and I've convinced her I'm still a virgin at aged 21...(let me explain, it took a LOT of lying!) I tell her I have a "phobia" of sex due to my mild germaphobia, as she knows I'm agnostic and wouldn't let me have anyone over otherwise...but I'm not germaphobic about sex, only GERMS so I guess this is a guilty pleasure.

She's secretly relieved at my blatant lies, and I take perverse pleasure in the fact that I've had sex in nearly every room of our house without anyone knowing.

I shouldn't have to cover up the bruises at aged 21 it's like being a fucking schoolkid again but it's all part of being an irish catholic I guess. It doesn't help that I like it rough and keep having to explain my ribs, shoulders, back etc are bruised as can be...I once had to put a plaster over one as it showed blatant teeth marks.

She found an empty condom wrapper under the sofa once after me and my ex had slept on it and I convinced her it must of been my sister's or I'd stepped on it at the pub. She actually believed me or is in serious denial.

This is a guilty pleasure of mine I suppose...am I a bad person or a normal youth not wanting the Mum to stick her bloody nose in?

The missus is Irish Catholic
I sympathise. Plasters just don't stick like they used to :).

Hmm
My Mum's a hardcore catholic and I had to cover up my love life while at Uni - "No Mum, I didn't have sex at Uni" - actually I didn't :-(

Saying that, she's deeply disappointed that I'm getting divorced....

I hate it when they ask questions supposed to trip you about about it lol, bloody Catholic parents...

I'm going to need to cover this up for years.

My mum is a lapsed Catholic
so she genuinely doesn't care what I get up to sexwise as long as I'm careful (it helps that she likes my other half, I guess).

On the other hand, I'm going to have to keep my dad convinced I'm still a virgin till I get married. Woe.

She doesn't want to know...
My parents are Irish Catholic too. Irish Mothers have a fabulous ability to simply ignore anything they don't want to hear or know about.

If you had a same sex partner, they'd either excommunicate you outright, or simply receive the partner into the house and family without ever acknowledging that they are your sexual partner. Even if they knew it deep down.
