My son had sex with a man, what should I do?

My son is 16 and had oral sex with a 28 year old man. I asked him who it was and he said his soccer coach. I had a look at the guy and talked to him and he seems like a good guy not one with bad intentions. My son seems to enjoy it a lot too and he is legal. My son seems a bit different tough. He is quieter but maybe he is maturing? What would you do?

  • At 16 people are old enough to decide what to do with their own bodies. They won't always make the 'right' choices, but no one ever would when they first start trying. 16 SHOULD be the age of consent universally and I'm glad it seems to be so in your state/country! That said, he probably just is unsure about things and needs to know you support him and are there if he needs anything - but that you're not pushing your support on him. The advantage of consent being legal at 16 is that he's still in your house and you can guide and support him instead of him making the exact same mistakes 2 years later when you're not around. So try to take advantage of that small victory without abusing it.

  • I'd tell the coach that if he ever touches you son again, you'll out him very publicly and then make good on it if he does. He's completely out of line and you're well within your rights to report him to the league.

    • It's not about that it's gay--it's about that your son is underage and a coach is an authority figure that kids need to be able to trust.

    • I made up mind, i'll let him have sex with him. He is not 10, he can take care of himself

  • Okay, so your son is gay. He still needs to be very careful about STDs. And since he likes oral sex, that means ensuring the guys he has oral sex with don't have STDs. In other words, getting tested before having sex and not just having sex with any guy at any time. It may seem obvious and you might think he already knows this, but you might be appalled to learn he may be thinking with something other than his brain. Please have a talk with him about this. Have the talk even if you think he already knows it. It can't hurt.

    • could be experimenting. teen girls experiment too.

    • Taking it into account

  • stop my son, he is 12years older... it doesn't matter how nice he is
    i dont care how people would be triggered but i would try to stop it somehow

    • he is still a child, it doesn't matter that he is legal

  • tell him he can keep doing it, but only if you get to be there too.

    • Enough with the jokes...

    • I'm totally serious. That way you can make sure he's ok.

  • I doesn't matter if your son consented that 28yr coach took advantage of your 16yr son, are you ok with that? because he seemed like a good guy? pedophiles are always nice

    • Uh look up the definition of pedophilia before you say nonsense.

    • you asked for opinions well he's a minor that coach is a grown man 28yr took advantage of a kid, he might do it to another child but guess it's OK because he's a good guy

    • if my child is happy I don't care

  • 😑 well you should take it to court cause a soccer coach should not have sex with a minor. Your son may have enjoyed it but thanks to him the soccer coach is going to get creepier towards him and others. I hope I didn't offend you -William

    • He told me it's purely sexual.

    • It could be but its still not right and another thing if a grown man is willing to have sex with a minor is a pedo. He may act normal but it's not. Psychologists say some pedos act nice and normal until they have their chance.

    • This is not pedophilia. You got it all wrong. And just for your info pedophilia applies to people of both gender

  • Are you by any chance going easy on your son, due to the sensitivities that him being gay adds to the situation?

    Look, this has nothing to do with him being straight or gay. Someone who is 12 years older than him is taking advantage of him. Even if your son is the age of consent, there is likely a legal limit placed on the age difference. A typical limit would be no more than 3 years older, and the age difference in this situation happens to be quadruple that amount.

  • I think he is not straight. Hope you r comfortable with it

    • I got no problem with that

    • Why?

    • Why should I?

  • not sure where your from but here that's statutory rape.
    consensual or not.
    regardless if your ok with it then it doesn't matter.

    If he's gay then he's gay and all you can do is accept him for who he is. don't treat him differently.
    on the plus side you can talk to him about guy.

    • Yeah he is telling me everything about men...

    • Haha well it's something to bond over :)

  • That's not good. I would tell your son to stop and get him off the team.

  • Nothing wrong with being gay, but why was a 28 year old man sleeping with someone who is 16! He should know better than that :/

    • It might be legal where you live but still doesn't make it right u_u

    • He just have the coach oral for now.

  • Put a bullet in the coaches head, just because it's legal doesn't mean someone has the right to destroy some childs innocence. 12 damned years older, I'd at least take him out back and cut his damned nuts off.! Adults need to leave kids the F alone!

    • You have problems.

    • To be fair if it was a 28 year old woman with my 16 year old son, I'd feel the same way. Also if it was a Man and my female child, or a woman and my child... 16 year olds need to stick with other children, not some pedophile that is almost double there age, my issue is not the gender, but the age gap.

  • Ewwww that is disgusting. He should stick to men in his year. Ewwwwww

  • Nothing, he's just gay

    • should I let him continue?

    • sure

    • we have a saying in greece. mother hoe= gay son and slut daughter. I don't know if thats the case here though.

    • Open sue?

    • So You will go to the law office. That is crime.

  • nothing <3

  • The coach should be in prison... not sure why you haven't called the cops yet? Maybe there are some issues with you as well, any normal parent would have called the cops or beat the guys Ass right away!!!

    • You are overreacting.

    • I bet you are also saying this because it's a guy. That says a lot about you.

    • It is because he is a minor and was molested by an adult. It amazes me that you think this is ok... and you are defending it. What an awful parent, you should also be reported to child services.
