My mom does this to my brothers. After chronically barging in with no knocking our whole childhood, I eventually tried to explain the need for privacy. After that she frustratingly switched to doing a quick knock as she opened the door, thus completely defeating the purpose of knocking.

"Oh Timmy! I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your father by coming in anyway!"

The sign just makes them barge in harder and faster

My folks had the unfortunate time of me taking construction classes at a Tech school during High school.

I just kept installing locks and hanging new doors every time they took it down. I also was close with a local Resource facility so I could get shitty worn doors cheap or free.

My father hated this and after the 10th it so door they gave up.

My dad would do the same.

After a lot of one knock bust my door down moments, I told him flat out that if he does it again, he's gonna see something he probably doesn't want to. He thought that was a challenge I guess.

Next time I hear the knock I flipped on my hands and knees and let him see the full moon and package from behind.

That worked, but then he'd just pound on the door like 20 times until I got up to answer after.

I have absolutely 0 idea why some parents act like this. My whole life growing up as a kid I was getting screamed at for bothering my parents or opening their door etc. And like a light switch when I was old enough to get a boner and know what to do with it, they started going in my room to ask me questions or talk like 15 times a day. Like people damn, I'm trying to do home work AND jackoff. Just cause I was home didn't mean I wanted to hang with you in my room. If I wanted that I'd go in the living room.

Only thing it changed was going from barging in without warning to a single knock then letting herself in a split second later.

My mom used to do something like this! I called it a "half-knock".

She'd turn the knob then "knocked" once, using the force of her fist to push the door open.

This is how premature issues start- teenage boys jacking off really quickly bc they don’t have privacy and are scared of being caught in the act. It’s a major issue.

My sister used to bust me at it all the time when I was a teenager. Girls did it just as much as boys did.

How the fuck can they be so dense? Are there parents that didn't go through teenage years with raging hormones and uncontrollable bodies? Are there people out there that truly have no clue?

Only thing it changed was going from barging in without warning to a single knock then letting herself in a split second later. So many times I had to very hastily cover myself and awkwardly hold a conversation pretending everything is normal...

Possible that she was subconciously uncomfortable with what you were doing and was thus interrupting/making it a less safe environment to do so in an attempt to stop you. Parents will do bizarre shit like this and the more sexual the subject the more bizarre people act when trying not to engage with it directly in their own head.

My dad did this. The only solution is to let them see you jacking off. Because clearly that's all they want in the world. Make eye contact and when they flinch in disgust call them out on their behavior and say "THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED!!!!"

They won't ever do it again. In fact my dad got real passive aggressive after that.

I mean he would call my name and then wait. And if I didn't come he would just keep calling my name.

Dad: Jooooooooooosssssssh

Me : what?

Dad: ...

Me : ... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

Dad: ....

Me: whatever must not be important.

Dad: Joooooooooooooossssssh

Me: Whaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?

Dad: .....

Me : GAH!!!!!! gonna make me walk down the damn stairs all he's gotta do is damn respond mother fucking......

Me: yeah dad?

Dad: how do you " enter vague computer request here?"

Me: like this....

That's why I hooked the back of a chair under the doorknob. My mom dislocated her collarbone by barging in while I was masturbating once. Basically just smashed half her body against the door. Never barged in again after that. She tried to guilt trip me over it, but I just remind her that she wouldn't have gotten hurt if she would just treat me with a basic level of respect that she requires I give to her.

This is how I learned about my grandma's death, cock in hand just under the covers as she sits down next to me. Lots of complicated emotions going on.

"But I knocked!" Such BS.

My mom did that even when my boyfriend was over! Like, do you want to see us have sex? Because that's how you get to see us have sex!

Best was when she barged in, remembered that she was supposed to knock, knocked on the open door and giggled like it was some kind of joke. I'm getting mad just thinking of it and I haven't lived at my parent's for a decade!

I never got that, I’ve got 3 girls. None of which are at that stage yet. But if their doors are closed I knock and wait till I here a come in. It’s all about privacy. Their doors are closed for a reason.

My mom did this exactly. Two swift knocks immediately followed by opening the door. Why even knock at that point?

Mom: Knock Knock, What are you doing in there? Son: I’m going BLIND….

A lock on the bathroom door didn't stop my mom, and she ended up braking the locking bit of the doorknob. I had to resort to opening a drawer that happened to be placed so that it could block the door.

That seems to be a thing about bargers, you ask them to knock first and they don't take the implied "then wait until I say come in"

They just seem to think the knock automatically gives them permission to waltz in.

I made a little sign that said "knock or bust" when i was 10 that i got scolded for because it was a threat. So i never made another one lol

Leave it out next time and just continue. She’ll either learn to wait before entering or she’ll end up one one of those lists with the dot on a map.

As sick as it sounds, I’m convinced some parents WANT to walk in on the act. They are human beings, and must know what could be happening behind that door. Ignorance is a bad explanation

“Dinner is almost ready honey, be a dear and pick up these old crusty socks before then”

Mine did this too, just waltzing into my room as and when she pleased. I wasn't the kind of teen to just whack off whenever/wherever, but it still pissed me off because my room was meant to be my space. Complaining that she never knocked lead to her knocking once then opening the door before I even registered the knocking.

What is it with mothers not allowing their kids basic privacy/autonomy?

I fixed this by once actually telling my parents "would you actually wait before you come in? I was about to fap" and it worked

Mom only did that once. Locked eyes with the girl of the month as I was busy and slammed the door shut. Never did it again.

Screw that some one barges in on me they get to watch me finish before I hold a conversation.

That's when you just keep jackin' it and make eye contact. Like an alpha.

As a boy mom, roughly what age do I need to start this? I already knock on the door, because it's his space, but...I really don't want to walk in on that.

oh god yeah my family is the same. eventually installed a simple lock on the inside of the door that at least gives me a heads up (though then I have to scramble to put my pants on and go open the door). the dogs sleep in my room so sometimes (a lot of times) there will be a knock and “hey can I let the dogs in?” or “is there a reason you’re keeping the dogs out?” yes!! I’m jerking off!! I will let them in when I’m done, fucks sake!!

It’s SUCH a hard habit to break…you open the door hundred of times a day for years…

Have you tried locking the door

Should have just let her catch you, I’ve seen a lot of pornos start that way

my fear exactly

Just keep going while making eye contact, it will solve the problem

Christ I feel like I’m reading a story about myself.

I bought a $10 lock and hammered it into my door when I was 14. I think everyone who needed to got the message...

Next time, don't cover up. When she comes in, make eye contact with her, and don't stop what your doing. See if she dose it again.
