[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you be less distressed that he is sexually active if he weren’t gay?  I am not sure what your specific concerns are here.

As a generally matter, though, there is fairly little you can do to stop a sexually active teen from continuing the activity.  Make sure he is fully informed of the risks and how to keep himself safe, and make sure he has access to condoms.[/quote]

Just stop.

It depends on the situation and OP is wise to be concerned.

Is he in a good mental place? Is he depressed? Is he having random hookups with older men?

I'm sure many gay boys have a sweet experience of meeting a same age boy and having "firsts" together. But, many don't and feel self-destructive and have run-ins with older men that parents would not consider healthy.[/quote]

All of this should be a concern for heterosexual sex as well. [/quote]

Having sex with men is inherently a more risky than having sex with women, the considerations are different and men are more likely to be scumbags. And before you call me a homophobic misandrist for saying this, I am paraphrasing Dan Savage advice to a parent with a gay son from a Savage Love podcast. [/quote]
