I'm in my mid 20s and still live with my parents. I have a great job with a decent income and I'm even looking forward to a raise in a few weeks... but I'm still not ready to move out yet -- at least not for another year or two -- so this is an issue that's been nagging at my brain for way too longer than it should have.
Um, I want to start drawing yaoi and collect the actual dojinshis in their original hardcopy formats. Yaoi is a hobby of mine and I love the artistry behind most of it -- I've been into yaoi since I was a teen in the mid 90's. I want to be able to draw kawaii bishies on my bigass drawing board and not have to worry about hiding it out of sight due to some weird irrational sense of unwarranted shame. It's annoying that my phobia-addled mind tells me it's okay to whack off to women in the magazines I have (which I'm sure they've seen on my bookshelves), and have my walls pinned with my drawings of females (and even drawings of lesbians fucking each other), but if I want to whack off to some kawaii bishies in a nicely-drawn dojinshi, I have to go to 4chan /y/ or some other yaoi-themed site on the web to get my fix.
they aren't really conservative parents nor are they very religious. is there still any other reason to think they will probably disown me? or am I hanging on to an old paranoia I had when I was in highschool (very ...pressure-istic atmosphere) and should have shedded off when i was in college? i'm still a virgin for crying out loud =(. I've always practiced drawing the male form, but I always destroy them when I finished.
...on the other hand, I'm thinking maybe it's not their business at all. I don't want to know about THEIR sex life (ew), so is it really their business what MY sexual preferences are? then again I don't want them to -- when I have my own place -- impromptu-visit me and come across a heart attack inducing surprise with some unexpected naked man on my couch (although I doubt it... I never really have been attracted to any real-life dudes, but you know what I mean for the sake of hypothetically-speaking my point).
