| My kid is a late bloomer, and has fallen in love for the first time. He and his partner are in their mid-twenties. When they are together at our house they are always in top of each other. It is not really sexual but hanging on each other, leaning on each other, under a blanket on the couch watching TV. Is this normal? Immature? Inconsiderate? I don’t really have a frame of reference, since it is his first serious relationship. |

Of course it's normal. Don't you remember your first real relationship?
You can set rules for the house- everyone must be on their own cushion on the sofa, no lap-sitting, etc. |

| I’d give them a little grace on the PDA front ( do you remember new love? It’s so wonderful and you just want to have that person in your space all the time!), but I also think it’s ok to let someone know when something makes you uncomfortable in your own house. Personally I wouldn’t approach it as “rules” but just a chance to give your DS some feedback to help him grow. If this is his first relationship he doesn’t really know what’s normal either. |

Jesus Christ. They're adults, not 12-year-olds! |

Mid-twenties? Home from college? Romance is the reason most young adults move on, out of their parent's house.
We need more info. |

| I don't understand why there are still so many prudes in the world. Do you not remember the intense feelings? It's beautiful and magical. Let him enjoy it and don't shame him/them over snuggling on the couch!! This is a once in a lifetime feeling for many. Please don't ruin it for him. I also think it's WONDERFUL that he feels secure enough to show his affection to his partner so openly. Many do not. That's not a nice alternative. |

I wouldn’t say anything, unless it got uncomfortable for me (like making out) in which case I’d probably just jokingly address it “get a room, guys!!”
Be happy your son is just a late bloomer and not some lonely incel |
