Teens and Sex

Quote From: jenoc99

Just because he bought the computer with his own money doesn't mean he should have free reign of the internet. You are 100% right to be concerned that his porn habit could lead to him disrespecting women and feeling that sex is no big deal. He is only 15, of course he is going to deny that he has a problem!! But you are the mother, you must take this matter very seriously and contact a therepist for him and tell that person the whole story, including the underwear incidents. The underwear wearing, soiling, and hiding in itself is a complicated issue that he needs professional help for. If you don't make him go to see a professional, you are denying him the opportunity to become a healthy and well adjusted adult. He isn't going to want to go, but its up to you to make that non-negotiable. You've got to get tough.
communicate with him, i am a teen and i know that the way to help us is by talking to us. it is inevvitable that he will deny having such an ebbarrassing problem, but he does and he needs help for it. YOU are the parent, and it is your job to get him help whether he likes it or not, sure he'll be mad at you for a little while, but in the long run it will do much more good than bad <3 good luck

Thanks for your replies. They are "shoring" me up for the confrontation for psych care. I have given him an article explaining the problems with porn and a list of psychologists in the area. He, of course, has not read them. I am making a appt. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know what happens

You should probably stop paying for the internet.

Absolutely right!  You have to step up and be the tough parent.  It's not pleasant, and he'll likely say he hates you, but you have to be strong and do the right thing.  He might hate you for the short term, but in the long term, after he's gotten help for these issues, he'll thank you for loving him enough to do what was right. 

 

Be strong, and hang in there!
