I caught my 10 year old son masturbating on one of his friends!?

Question

I came home from work and I went into my son's room and he was in their with one of his friends (who is a boy) and they were masturbating all over each other! What should I do!!!

Answer 1

dont worry....its ok just ask him thou why a boy? but if it was solo i understand give him the talk but try not to embares him ...if you do he might not be so open to you good luck being a father.☺

Answer 2

 I disagree with the guest's statements on "programming". I have to say that this situation sounds fairly normal. You read about this in most normal, non-faith based parenting and medical literature. i think the key here is to use this as an opportunity to let him know you are there for him, and that if any questions arise, that you will try your best to answer them for him. Banning the friend from the house would be a terrible mistake. I have a friend who had a similar situation arise, with his then best friend's parents, who banned him from their house for this sort of thing. My friend is indeed straight, and the childhood friend ended up growing up to be a bit homophobic...and then later came out of the closet in college. The issue is not sexual orientation, but the impact of the reaction of parents in this sort of situation. It would also help to talk to a physician about this if you need some additional thoughts, from a professional. Good luck, and God Bless!!

Answer 3

your son is on puberty stage and he is now trying 2 explore everything that he wants 2 know and would be very anxious of having those experienced. since his age also a start of getting into peers,no wonder then he would like 2 share what he wants 2 dscover with his trusted friends.doing this with trusted friends is normal but parenting must take in so as 2 guide them 2 d right path as they grow.never reprimand or you may put your son on great confusion and timidity that would result in gender annoyance later.have a father talk with him coz he(father) had surely been through this before.

Answer 4

I don't understand what the fuss is about... this is expected at his age... it's part of his psychological development and I'm surprised at your reaction.

The guy who suggested counseling needs counseling himself. A grown adult should not be so uncomfortable with sexuality that he suggests treatment for a healthy child.
