should i be ashamed that i told my mum i read illustrated smut??

me and my mum are close, like really really close. i consider her my best friend and tell her everything. we were both out in the city and i went into a manga store that i saw. i saw that they had like BLs and stuff and really wanted to get one but wondered how my mum would react so i didn't. when we sat down to have some coffee, i subtly hinted it to her and then flat out said that i read comics such as BL and she wasn't fazed as much. I told her that i may buy some and for her to not be fazed if she finds them. i for some reason felt guilty and kind of ashamed when i told her? she didn't seem surprised or angry and i asked her if she's judging me and she said of course not and asked why i felt that way and i said because i was judging myself for telling her.
was i wrong to tell her? was it too personal and should it have been kept a secret? i am 20 years old so i can do what i want but i am just really close with my mum and wanted other's opinion on whether i should be ashamed of myself for telling her something like that or not??

shrug not something I'd really want to bring up with my mum - ditto porn/kinks whatever.

If that was aimed at my post, I'm ashamed to say that it's 100% the truth.
If that was aimed at the OP, well nothing surprises me on this board anymore.

I can tell you my own experiences, if it will help...
My mum was a devout catholic woman, so when I discovered the filthy world of smut, I was determined to keep it a secret from her. However, one day I was a bit careless with the downloads and I came back and found her watching a hot lesbo scene on the computer screen, and she just looked at me sternly and said, "I'm not impressed" and walked out the room.
We never ever spoke about that moment ever again... but thankfully it wasn't awkward at all afterwards (although I still cringe at recalling that awful moment lol).
Exactly this.... I think even the closest parent / child relationships have their own rules on discretion

after telling her, i thought it would be awkward, but it was as if i had never mentioned it. she said it was perfectly natural and honestly preferred if i read that instead of watching porn. a few weeks have gone by and its as if it never happened and i think she most likely forgot about it which is a relief

If you go on Tiktok there's a whole side of TT related to spicy books, you just need to find the right group or book club to share your interests with,

I would probably put them in the same category as fanfiction I.e. people do it as a guilty pleasure, but we don't talk about it to friends much[

and sharing with your Mum isn't a bad thing (she is a grown woman )

even though it has been forgotten and buried, i, like you, cringe whenever i think about it and wonder what the hell i was thinking. she said that she is glad that i can talk to her about that although i am cringing back into my spine we had a discussion (before this) about how porn has desensitized every one because we saw the topic on a tv show and i was saying how now its so normal that it is socially accepted but i still find it weird. and then right after that i go and drop this haha, but i do hope that i'll forget about it soon enough because it looks like she has completely
