What would you do if you caught your son masterurbating?

[Dog19]

Lets say you have a 13 year old son. He's kind, friendly, and talkative. One day you walked into the bathroom and you saw him jerking it. He looked shocked and scared. What would you do

[Anonymous]

Uhm... act like nothing happened. Its normal for boys to do things like that at that age. But you need to start making some rules and warn him about safe sex and all that. Make sure he's at least 16 to have sex later in the future.

[Joe_Dee]

I would quickly exit.
Try to not show any emotion towards it.
But maybe talk to him later on down the road.
Just so he knows to lock the door next time, or do it while no one is around.

[Hannajenky]

Apologize and not make a big deal about it and let him know that it is completely normal

[Reggieray]

I'd do these three things:

1. Go away.

2. Let him finish.

3. Tell him he's responsible for washing his own undergarments, towels, and bedsheets from here on out.

Problem solved.

[Dog19]

What if he looked at you like he was going to cry when you first saw him?

[Reggieray]

Just close the door, turn around, and walk back down the hall. Don't overthink this. Never speak of this again.

[Dog19]

What if he saw you then looked guilty and worried

[Reggieray]

You're overthinking this. He definitely doesn't want a goddamn hug or to "talk about it." No 13 year old boy wants to have a fucking "Heart to Heart" about masturbation with their mother, which, from the tone of your inquiry, is what you're trying to push for. Big fucking mistake - unless your goal is to give your son a major sexual hang up in order to appease your own need for validation, then by all means have a long involved talk. If he was horrified from two seconds of eye contact, a 20 minute conversation is going to be mortifying and counterproductive.

I've looked up and down this thread and your getting variations of same answer I gave you over and over and over with "Hey lock the door, pal" as the only other major piece of advice given. It's good advice, take it.

[madhatters4]

leave. and have a conversation with him later telling him that masturbation is normal. maybe offer advice in not getting consumed with masturbatory practices though

[madhatters4]

thanks for mho

[Logorithim]

I'd tell him it's OK to wank off but to lock the bathroom door next time.

[On_the_other_hand]

Throw him a box of Kleenex and tell him don't worry about it, it means you are normal, we never need to talk about it

[funexplorer]

I`d tell him its normal and not to be embarrassed. Best to be honest with him and talk about sex now then later.

[MTC29]

Say nothing, which is what my own mother did. I'm over 60 years old and I doubt that my mother even recalls the event.

[MarilynMansonsSlvt]

It's natural, so I'd be fine with it. What was he masturbating to?

[Dog19]

Nothing

[nitexdest]

I mean I started masturbating at 12, so I think it’s okay, just tell him to lock the door

[jackinoff]

Its natural right?

[ChronicThinker]

"Sorry buddy, don't stop on my account." *close the door quickly*

[jacquesvol]

I'd look the other side and pretend nothing happened

[mrkdvsn]

Assuming the door was closed, I'd apologize for just walking in, and advise him to lock the door from now on.

[name_is_eric]

Turn away, close the door behind me and pretend it never happened.

[Anonymous]

Take him right away to a beautiful prostitute. Pay big and get him some.

[Frankenstein99]

Well i wouldn't ask if he needed a hand.

[vishna]

why is he bating my master?

[Dog19]

What?

[laurieluvsit]

Tell him to hurry it up before dinner gets cold :)

[6942Dom]

Why not help?

[jackinoff]

Lol to funny

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Nothing just walk out give him privacy.

[call_me_scar]

Say Oh sorry, close the door and walk away

[Dog19]

Would you be shocked or disgusted

[call_me_scar]

Nope I would just feel awkward next time I see him what about you

[Dog19]

I'd be happy that he's growing up

[hellacray]

I'd say "room for one more?"

[Dog19]

He looked like he was going to cry when you saw him

[Leviathan_Charmer]

I'd say do that in your own room, I gotta piss.

[Rangers]

I would tell him to lock the door next time.

[benjamickie]

you must like unseen him

[Dog19]

He also looked at you like he's going to cry

[benjamickie]

then you must say him that is normal
