I'm a 37-year-old father. I recently discovered my 14-year-old son is jerking off. He was in his room and really quiet so I opened the door and saw him. I was shocked! I told him that we need to have a talk later on but I have no idea what to say. What on earth do I say to my son?
Shocked and Upset
Now, maybe someone who hasn't read Savage Love before might expect some kind of sympathetic response, but presumably someone who's writing in has read the column, right? Maybe Ann Landers or Dear Abby would have some kind soothing words for this writer, but Dan is just forthright and honest:
Your son is 14 fucking years old, you moron, OF COURSE HE'S BEATING OFF IN HIS ROOM. Where did you beat off when you were 14? Buckingham Palace? If you don't know what to say to your son, SAU, I have a suggestion: "I'm terribly sorry I walked into your room without knocking, kiddo. I promise to respect your privacy in the future. Forgive me. What I did was wrong."
What in the world was SAU thinking?
