I recently posted in the teen board that I suspected my 13yo son might be gay. After a conversation with a friend, I decided to talk to him about stuff in general, and he told me he had looked at some porn on his friends phone and was worried I'd be cross. I reassured him it was OK to be curious, and that he could talk to me about anything, and I would never judge him.
At this point, he said "even if I was gay?". I said of course, and that's how it was left.
This morning he asked me what its called to like both girls and boys, and I told him bisexual. He then said he think he might be.
Bearing in mind he has a best friend now for the first time ever (he is on the autism spectrum and finds making friends really hard) and this best friend came out a couple of days ago, so I thought possibly my DS is just confusing friendship feelings for something more...
So I said, you might look at a boy and think he's cute, or want to kiss him. But just think ahead long term. You know about the birds and the bees. Two men in a relation are going to have sex at some point. Do you know how they do this?
He replies " they bum each other".
I said, exactly. Just some food for thought. If you don't like the idea of that, your probably not.
Then we started talking about other stuff.
I'm worrying so much now that I said the wrong thing, can anyone give any advice?
Thanks xx
