| How would you react if you found Durex condoms in your 16 yo DS’s nightstand? |

Stay out of his private space.
I wouldn’t react at all. |

| I'd be glad he's at least using protection. |

| Could be aspirational, but if not, at least he’s being careful. Pat yourself on the back for having done a good job. |

| I'd be glad he's using protection and move on and not mention it. |

Before you get to pissy and assume mom is prying, maybe she was just putting laundry away. At least in our house, that's part of doing laundry, no matter who does it (I do my own delicates). |

Laundry doesn't go in nightstands. |

| Think it through, OP. If you say something what is the outcome? Do you think he will stop having sex? Or simply get better at hiding things and not speaking to you about it? |

| I’d feel relief. |

1) do you go through his drawer regurally or were you like putting away a charger?
2) be glad he’s using protection. In these times I’d be worried who is he having sex with because of COVID exsposure, but agree with PP, confronting him won’t make him become celibate. |

| He also might just be... practicing. Seriously. |

| I'd have a conversation with him about the related issues - let him know that I am there for him and he can always come to me with questions or concerns, talk about making good decisions, let him know that his safety is my top priority. I wouldn't mention finding condoms. |

This. Same for a daughter. |

| I'd be glad he was prepared and planning ahead. Would make sure he has access to more if he needs them.l,.maybe put them in the bathroom he uses. |
