by debbie304, Nov 10, 2009 12:26PM
As a mom I do become aroused when seeing my son in the shower, erect that is.... he is very handsome., does he want me to see him, ??? He has even watched me shower by peeking in the outside door... I have also 'caught him jerking off upstairs after school.... and seen semen on my panties... could this get seriously WRONG...?

Hi Debbie.

This is a very complex situation, and I can't really give you a comprehensive response within this brief format. Suffice to say that both of you may have some boundary issues. You may be getting turned on by looking at your son because you're lonely or feeling neglected in your other relationships--or other possibilities too numerous to mention here. And your son may be eroticizing you as well. I say "may" because without an in-depth interview, it's difficult to tell exactly what's going on.

It's not uncommon for young men to go through periods of time where they use women's lingerie during self-pleasuring. This doesn't necessarily indicate he's turned on to you specifically--it may just be that your lingerie is close at hand. It's also possible that he's picking up on some signs of interest that you're showing, and following your lead.

At any rate, it's time to talk with someone about this. I suggest you find a clinical sexologist who specializes in helping people talk about sexual issues. Once you're able to understand what's going on with you, then you can consult your therapist about your son's behavior as well. Best of luck to you. Dr. J

I have posted to your other threads in response to this and yes this is WRONG. this is NOT normal. You need professional help, asap, and so does your son. this must not continue.

What you have explained is very disturbing both on the part of you and your son. A mother is not supposed t o be aroused by her sons' nakedness and should never in anyway encourage sexual advances from him no matter how subtle they are. Both of you need to seek help before this gets to a point of no  return.

I agree. This is NOT normal! It mad my stomuch turn reading it. I am a mother of 4, two girls and two boys. I have NEVER thought that about my children. Do yourself and your son and HUGE favor and GET HELP! What you are thinking about when you see him is extremely wrong.... please, please, please get help NOW!

Yes....This is very wrong, but i sense that Debbie is very,very lonely. Mabe you dont have a healthy social life etc. Remember that your son look how you handle the situation.
Once you two crossed THAT line, it cant be undone. Make the right choice, you can, thats why you asked for help here.

ok i'm a teenager (is your son too). put yourself in your sons shoes, how would he feel knowing you watch him in the shower. I know if my mum was watching me i couldn't bear to look at her. either try to seek proffesional help or try to get a partner because the problem is either lonlieness or in your mind
