My guy knows about my fetish (he's actually the one who first gently suggested I might have it, but that's a story for another day), and he is AWFUL during cry-scenes! He makes so much fun of me! Every time a male cries, he goes, "Ooh, look honey, there you go!" or, more often, "Look, it's Evan Peters!" even when it isn't. For example, he recently said that Bastian from The NeverEnding Story was Evan Peters because he was crying when Atreyu's horse sank in the swamp. The poor guy wasn't even born yet!!

It's become a bit of an inside joke that I enjoy, tbh. It gives me something to do other than squeal and swoon over the crying character, which might make him feel bad. I know I'd feel hurt if he swooned over a female character in front of me.

Now with my mom... I let it all hang out. We watch TV together and during my favorite actors' cry scenes I hug blankets, squeal, and pretend to bite down on my own arm. And she laughs and teases me and it's a good time all around. She knows about my fetish because we are really open with each other.

With others I'm not really bothered either way over crying on film or TV. I'm not attracted to a lot of people and I only become excited by crying if it's a guy I find attractive.

I have one infamous cousin who, when a crying scene started, had the tendency to say "ehh, this is rubbish" and change the channel. I used to dread watching any crying scene with him when we were younger.

While no one really knows about my fetish, I get embarrassed every time I'm with someone (especially family) and a character in a movie starts crying (especially if they're being comforted). I have no idea why I'm like that. I guess you could compare it to viewing sexual content with your mom.

YES. My boyfriend knows about my fetish, but I still feel uncomfortable when we watch a crying scene together. I don't know if it's because I feel as if he's thinking about my reaction to it, but the more intense the crying, the more uncomfortable I feel. Even more so around, say, my dad.

Does your father know about your fetish?

I have the same things and sometimes it bothers me when i'm with my female friends at a cinema and the male actor cries. Some of them look insidious at me , teasing me : Look, look ..see !!! male tears , how do you feel?'' but it's not a big deal after all. It's just that i can't get immersed into the scene like i do when i'm all by myself. I remember when i watched Interstellar and there was the screen sobbing scene, a friend of mine let out a heavy '' Whoah..'' when Mathew Mcoughnahey teared up heavily and i felt embaressed.
It's not the same thing when i watch the scenes with my mum , she doesn't really care about my fetish as i do so very rarely she comments on those emotional scenes. There were times when she remembered i  used to like a particular scene and she called  me to watch it too.
I would rather watched the by myself, mostly if it's an intense sobbing scene. If someone, even my mother sneaks on me while watching such scene i feel very disturbed as if i'm caught masturbating or something..I think i'm scared of being caught so engrossed in this. I know myself to even gaze at those scene, to make a special event out of it and i like to be alone meanwhile.
