My nephew (my sister's son) is a senior in high school and since his dad died in a car crash a couple of years back, I've been trying to help out -- just visiting a lot, taking him to ball games, trying to be there in case he needed an adult male in his life...but without trying to replace his dad or get in the kid's way.
I've really grown to like him and I think he likes my company. He has confided in me on a few things that he'd rather not tell his mother but nothing very heavy until now. We went to a football game yesterday and he started talking about the cheerleaders in a suggestive way and I got the sense he wanted to talk about sex but was nervous and I wasn't sure exactly how to help him get around to it.
Then on the way home, he burst into tears and told me he thought he might be gay. Why did he think that? Well, because he and his girl friend had tried to have sex and he'd been impotent (his word). It was the first time for both.
Well, I did my best to explain that didn't mean he was gay -- that I was sure it was nerves more than anything and that this wasn't all that uncommon -- especially for a first attempt. I don't know whether I helped him or not but I keep thinking maybe I should do more.
A buddy at work suggested he might benefit from talking to a therapist but my buddy doesn't know about the hobby and -- yes, I'm wondering about treating him to a provider. Someone who can put him at ease and help him through what I'm sure will be a successful encounter. Is this a bad idea? Should I just ask him? Does it make sense to try to arrange what looks like a chance encounter with someone who will "seduce" him? That's probably pretty hard to do (and more my fantasy than his) so I guess I would just play it straight and take him to an understanding provider who's been briefed on the background. I know he wouldn't want his mother to know and I'm not sure she'd understand. And of course, she'd want to know how I know about hobbying.
If that's not a good idea, anybody know what else I can do for him? I don't have any kids of my own so I'm working in the dark on this and can use any help from both ladies and gents. Thanks in advance.
did a quick release, the recovery time will be short and fast. (It is a lot cheaper even if you have to order a new batch online.)
Just tell him that it is like learning how to ride a bike. Viagra is the backup training wheel. With his young body, once he got the confidence and the experience, he will be fine without it.
JMHO, this is better than introducing him to this hobby. In general, there is nothing wrong with showing a young adult the joy of hobbying. However, since hobbying requires quite a bit of money, if for some reason he got hooked onto the BBBJ, CIM, etc., he might do something stupid or detrimental to his future to get the quick buck.
In addition, since he has a girlfriend, hobbying might change his outlook on woman and destroy his relationship. If he really loves that girl, he might blame you for the breakup.
Let him know that it is all right to move slow, and stay on third base for a while.
He is still young and does not need all of the intensity that "going all the way" brings. That intensity is more than he can handle right now, that's all. And maybe fear of pregnacy.
You can tell him that it is OKAY to not have sex yet (Gee, actually wait until he is out of high school? What would Madonna and Christina A. say!). Less intense "safer" sex that he could have would be HJ only, or his girlfriend could show him how to fondle her clit properly (by giving a show, or by holding his hand).
If this is still too fast for him, let him know that it is okay for him to just kiss and cuddle, (she can wear lingerie if she wants) with NO SEX ALLOWED. That will take off any pressure. No performance anxiety. And if he is not mentally ready for sex/ mature enough, tell him it is okay to say he wants to wait a while.
If he is a MINOR do not take him to see a provider.

other then to tell him things that may reduce his concerns. All the best to you both. Harry
I think there are more issues that lie beneth what is really going on.
He is not ready for an escort. The issue might have to deal with sex, but setting him up with a woman will not help, not at this time.
Shaye
Holy shit~
Teach him about being safe. He is only in High School for crackers sake!
Going soft on a woman is not about being gay! lol. The first time is filled with expectations and nerves.
Tell him not to worry, nature will take over. By the end of the second time he will be able to pound nails with that thing! (Oh to be 17 again!)
If he is still having problems after a few more times, maybe then you get medical intervention, but after one time... please!
I'm no expert in child psycology, so I will save my long winded BS.

I agree with some of the others, do not get him an escort.
Be ther for him. Give him advice. Let him know you love him and are there for him, but don't get him an escort. As cool as that sounds, it's not cool. If he lost his Father, and you are his uncle, this is not condusive to that relationship. He will ultimately lose respect for you, and the relationship will be changed permanantely.
It sounds like you've been a good role model for him. Not replacing his father, but still there for him in that role. Ask yourself, would his dad do this for him?
in the old country (across the pond), taking young men to a brothel for proper "education" was almost a right of passage, reserved for the upper-middle-class and aristocracy even ... the infamous brothels of Paris were famous for their tutelage to some of the most famous men of arts and letters
but dem dayz are gone (sorry, lost in reverie
... who knows anything anymore ... but hearing a little guy cry over the fear of being gay is heart-rending indeed ... still, you don't know what can of worms you're opening up in his life by taking him to a provider ... touch call
i'd play it safe and send him to a counselor first
Ugh, don't take him to a provider. If he's inhibited with his girlfriend, he'll be even more nervous with a stranger in a contrived situation with a clock ticking.
