Sorry, I can’t seem to get past the ‘looks like’ erection. Very squicky, even if they are completely innocent. Blech. ---

All I can say is that it would be pretty strange to be a teenage boy and have a mom that hot. ---

> [@cjepson](#): > > All I can say is that it would be pretty strange to be a teenage boy and have a mom that hot. Do normal boys really think about their mothers in that vein? I remember making the observation that my father was loads better looking than all my friends fathers, but it certainly wasn’t a source of arousal. No one is analyzing photos of her with her daughter playing in the surf where they have their hands all over each other. ---

It seems to give a whole new meaning to MIFL. 😃 Honestly, it is probably a whole lot less titallating if you were seeing it live then in a series of random stills. ---

I presume a typo of MILF wherein previously it was _someone else’s_ mom. ---

I really don’t understand the icky comments. What, should mothers and sons maintain a 10 foot distance barrier at all times after 12? He’s her 17 year old son. The more I think about it, the more I think this is just poorly timed photos coupled with the public’s tendency towards mountain making. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > I admit that they look overly affectionate at first glance, but I can easily visualize perfectly normal situations that would would involve those same images if snapped. Number 4, for example, looks very motherly, and the worst pics: 1 & 5 both have them intentionally doing a side hug and stand offish kiss that is typical of familial relations. > > I agree that, in the other two, the mother looks drunk, and the son is carrying her. I thus assume it applies to the others. Sorry, but I just can’t see how these pictures are not sexual to at least some degree. In the first shot, his right hand is on her breast, about an inch from her nipple, and her left arm is so wrapped around his body she looks like she’s trying to reach his crotch. He’s holding onto her right arm in a way that’s pulling her closer. That is not mother/son-type of contact; it’s lover-type contact. It would be a little strange if he was just a young guy she was cougaring for, but if he is in fact her son, it’s pretty oogy. Of course, none of that has any effect on how sexy I find her. I always thought she was the most spectacular of the Victoria Secret models, and she has aged extremely well. I’d just prefer to imagine that she’s not in any way related to the kid. ---

They’re also walking on sand which tends to shift and could cause people to hold on more tightly than they otherwise would. Whee. And you really only see sexualness in those pictures? That says more about you than the pictures, in my opinion. Different families have different levels of physical contact that they find appropriate and comfortable. I am loving the diagnoses of autism and drunkenness. Don’t ever change, dopers. ---

I think this would be more like if your father was built like a Chippendales dancer and liked to wear a Speedo to the beach. (But I think it still wouldn’t be quite the same, because guys’ brains work differently.) ---

So would it be more like if your dad was nonthreateningly attractive, a good listener, but at the same time also good at negging? ---

> [@corkboard](#): > > . I always thought she was the most spectacular of the Victoria Secret models, and she has aged extremely well. ## Amen to this… While on the surface, the pictures do seem a bit “off” to me as well, I am assuming that they were just taken at a split-second when the two of them were at a strange angle or position relative to one another… (If mother and son were actually up to something, would they really carry on so at a public beach?) ---

What the hell was Axl Rose thinking?!? Talk about a fine wine… This is just another example of the damage Heroin can do to your life. As for the pics- she is walking on sand, she has probably had a few vacation martinis, and her 17 year old son is helping her through the surf. I did the same thing with my Mom, and certainly didn’t have any “Feelings”. ---

No. Kissing your mom’s hand doesn’t have to be weird at all, I guess. But considering it’s just one in a lineup, it seems squicky to me.
