When cleaning my son's bedroom recently, I found some disturbing items. What should I do?
Next to some personal lubricant was a small battery-powered egg on a string, and another item that I believe is designed for male use, not female. There were also two magazines showing men posed explicitly. My son plays football for his college and I know for a fact that one of his friends, on the same team, is gay.
Obviously, my son's been storing these items for his friend, as his friend has very strict and religious parents who would not approve of his homosexuality. While I don't approve either, I at least accept that that troubled young man is a good child at heart. I don't approve of my son assisting his friend in deceiving his parents, however, and want to raise the issue with him. Should I be up-front or subtle in asking him to get his friend to take back his items?

I find it hard to believe that those "THINGS" BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE.
Maybe they're your son's - who knows. Confront your son in a nice way and ask questions.

u sound like u scared to believe u son might be gay. it is not that bad. the best approach is to sit him down and confront him about it. secondly u soounnd like u have too much high hopes for him.u even clean his room not to be rude. u got to make him man up now. face his problems and be open to him and i guess he will be open to u. no hiding under religious belief this is what u have deal with it

it is better to counter check because your son and his friend are influencing each other in their crises of identity. the things that you discover are just manifistations of deeper involvement. you have to be very prudent and consider the sensitivity of your son. of course you have to confront but in a very mature way.

Since your son is in college, he is obviously a young adult. Butt out! The things just may be his, but it is none of your business either way.

Are you sure your son isn't gay?
And why are you cleaning your son's room anyway? Surely he's old enough to clean it himself.

WHY WERE YOU CLEANING HIS ROOM? At his age, he needs to be responsible and clean his own room. He also deserves some privacy.
