Not sure if the mods will lock this, but this is a family-discussion type of thread.

So my friend tonight tells me his 16-yr old cousin is addicted to pron... gay pron!!  The family has turned off all internet access, but they caught him at a relatives house looking at guy on guy action films.  Blagh!!

They can't stop him apparently, but check this out...

The dad refuses to talk to the kid about it.
The mom refuses to talk to the kid about it.
The sister just deals with him stealing her college laptop and getting into the pron. They lock down the PC's as best they can.
Very religious family, would probably disown the kid if it came out he was gay, so I think that's why they aren't confronting the issue.

They are convinced it's an experimentation "phase" he's going through, and he's not really gay.

What say you?  Phase... or gay?  
And shouldn't the dad say something to the kid?

phase or not, someone needs to sack up and talk to the kid.

if he's gay, deal with it.

If he's addicted to gay porn , I'd say hes gay. If it was a one time thing I wouldnt think much of it, but seeing as they had to lock down computers to keep him away from it, I'd say there isn't much chance its just a phase.

I have to say that I started looking at gay porn when I was around 14ish.  Very similar situation actually, religious family, etc.  They talked to me about it, and I denied it and was able to hide things for awhile (computer illiterate family).  I didn't come out until I was 19ish.
The kid is probably gay, but he isn't going to come out until he is ready.  After I did my relationship with my parents improved 100%, best thing I ever did.
Just give him as much support as possible, and he will turn out OK.  Being gay hasn't erased the values I was raised with.

You can thank Enigma for showing me this thread too ;P

At 16 he probably isn’t just "curious."  He's gay; so what?  Although the fact that he is obsessed with it is odd.  I'm pretty sure the average homosexual is no more interested in porn than the average heterosexual.  Any family that would disown their own child for this sort of thing has bad values no matter how religious.  It is the ultimate failure of a parent when they disown their child for any reason.

If they try to suppress his access to the porn without talking to him, how long do they think it will be before he's sucking cocks through glory holes at adult book stores?    

They need to have a talk with him, the porn/sex addiction is clearly the bigger issue here (not the gayness).  The gay shit might be part of a progression toward harder core stuff but I wouldn't bet on it.

His parents need to be parents, and deal with this within their family. He is still their child.

Sounds like a counseling candidate to me.  


Eta: You know...You heard from a friend...

Its entirely possible that you don't know the whole story here, and the parents MAY be handling it, just not talking about it to everybody...including a cousin who gossips to his friends...

He's gay or bisexual... no doubt about it.

And internet or not, he WILL get his hands on some pron if he wants it.  Taking away the internet is kind of a stupid gesture.

What the kid needs is A)  A little support and B)  A understanding about stable relationships.

If he goes secretive or underground about the whole affair, he's going to be in a tight situation.

The happiest LGBT folks I know are the out ones.  The closeted ones are miserable.

EDIT:  A friend of mine in high school was gay.  His parents ignored it and finally said that he was messed up and that he could either go to the prom with a girl or couldn't go at all.  They also swore that they wouldn't pay for his college tuition if he didn't "straighten up."

They got their wish.  They don't have a gay son anymore.  He killed himself late in his senior year in high school.

But, comon.  Being queer is a choice, remember?

Yep he's gay and the only thing you can do about it is accept it.

Or send him to one of those religious workshops where a little electrotherapy is used to make the kid's family think they are doing something to help it...

I was addicted to porn at a very young age, 13, I looked at nearly everything, straight porn, gay porn, midget porn, etc. I was masturbating like 4 times a day.I thought that I was gay because I had never slept with a girl and was looking at gay porn, which really messed with my head.  Well I learned that I wasnt gay, but instead I had an addiction to porn/sex, which is far worse. Well it was getting to the point where I didnt have a televsion, the computer was locked up at night, I didnt have easy access to a computer. But all that did was to make the addiction dormant. I would go for a few weeks/months or whatever without looking at porn, and then once I had easy access I would go nuts and not do anything productive.

Well fast forward 6 years. I still have an addiction to porn, but I do not even start looking at it. I know now that one boobie or twat will basically start this cycle of me looking at porn for hours on end. I was spirtually dead inside and miserable as a person. I no longer want to feel that way so 30 seconds of relief is not worth the feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse that would follow me around the rest of the day. If you would like me to talk to him I would be more than willing to.  I dont know if I could help but  I am willing to share my experience strength and hope. im me if you would like.

What part of the above post says he should kill himself.  I said in my opinion it is wrong to be gay, and he needs help straightening out his life, which ever lifestyle he chooses to live.  Why don't you try not reading into things and practice your pushing of aceepting alternative lifestyles on some one else.

Right I suck because I think its wrong to be gay.  I never said anything about locking him up, or killing himself.  When did this site and the country as a whole as a matter of fact become so complacent and non chalante.  Just because I'm a christain man and do not believe in homosexuality, and feel as though his life style is wrong makes me a bad person.  I think I even said more than once that if thats the way he wants to be let him.  I would be concerned that a child of mine was addicted viewing pornography, whether it was gay or hetero.  And yes I do have children.  And I would never disown them for any reason, as no father should do ever.  But why do I suck because I won't accept his beliefs as right.

So, it appears he is gay. Not much to do about that but wait.

As for the porn, his parents can just work hard to keep him from getting to it.  Do they have so much trouble controlling him that they can't restrict his internet access?  Maybe I'm confused.
