My seven year old son seems to be showing interest in bondage. When he was younger,about 4 years old,he went through a short phase of wanting to tie his hands or legs together,or use some plastic handcuffs that he'd gotten in a playset to handcuff himself. After talking with him about it a couple times,he just seemed to lose interest.
Tonight,while he was playing in his room,he used his 14 yr old brothers ipad to get on youtube and watch videos about his video games,which he does a lot. After a little time passed by,i went to check on him,and he quickly shoved the ipad under his blankets,and when I pulled it out from under the blankets,i saw that he had been watching a video of two well endowed women,fully clothed,..using duct tape to tie each others arms and legs up with,and even had tape over their mouths. Although I had the parental lock settings on the ipad,evidently my oldest son has figured out how to unlock them,and my 7 yr old had typed in "girl tied up".
I am VERY concerned about this now,and I don't know what to do about it. I tried talking to him about it,and asked him why he was watching it,to which he replied "i don't know". I asked him if those videos made him feel a certain way,and I got the same response,only then,he started crying. I proceeded to ask if anyone had shown him this stuff or if anyone had touched him in his private areas,and he tells me no.
Im very concerned about this behavior showing up again,and I could really use some input on this type of behavior,and what,if anything,i need to do about it.
Thank you.
