erections make diapers impossible
by jenn451, Mar 20, 2008 08:33PM
I am the mother of a very irritable 14-year-old child with spastic Cerebral Palsy. He is also mentally retarded and has the mental capacity of an 18-month-old baby. He is incontinent must wear adult diapers. It is becoming increasingly impossible to fit a diaper over him due to the startling size and intensity of his erect penis that extends well past his belly button. A friend of mine who is a nurse suggested the possibility of giving him medicine to shut down the effects of puberty on his body, completely eliminating any further sexual development as well as the natural urges for sex that come with semen production. Because he will always be a baby mentally, she seems to think my pediatrician will prescribe a strong testosterone suppressant that would keep him flaccid and much more comfortable and happy. Is this really a common treatment I should pursue for my disabled son? Are their any long term health risks related to this kind of body alteration. I just don’t know what to do any more to keep him in diapers. Please help.

I remember in school when I would get uncontrollable erections like most boys I guess, I would put my belt over it and pull my shirt out to hide it.
You can do the same by belting it close "not tight" to his body and buying him some extra large T-Shirts, that should solve the problem for the him and you.
Be fore-warned though that he may ejaculate at any time due to the fact that it has to come out. Thats what we boys called "Wet Dreams" before learning to masterbate to relieve that problem. If that becomes a problem you may want to try a Condom.
Hope this helps, sounds like you have your hands full, but again I say no to drugs. :)
