One of the important parts of parenting is *individuation* from your child in their teens — they are not miniature versions of you, nor should they be.

(My daughter is AWESOME, and we have a million interests in common, but I am an “obligate extrovert,” she is the opposite, she’s happy with a few close friends and small gatherings, and what made me happy in terms of a social life would have made her miserable.)

I was a lot more rebellious as a teenager, but I also had shitty parents who raised me like veal — she had more freedom and wasn’t saddled with a malignant-narcissist parent, so her upbringing was very different.

But, yeah — LW, leave your kid alone, and stifle the unhealthy curiosity about his sex life!
