Dear Betty is back....

Dear Betty,

For the second time in two weeks I walked in on my son being inappropriate by himself with anime on the tv. I had no idea there was a cartoon like this. If it was regular porn, I might have knocked or waited until it was off, but with all the giggling and cartoon noises I was really surprised. I understand it is completely natural to touch yourself but if that’s what he is watching I’ll never know when its safe to come in.

Then the other thing about it, cartoons. Is that sexy? I know Jessica Rabbit is sexy, and maybe those powder puff girls but, cartoons that look real? Is there something wrong with my son? Will he prefer Betty or Veronica? Do I have to hide the newspaper?

Dear Paige,

You should not be alarmed about anime. We all have different ways of reaching physical bliss. For me, it’s jockey underwear ads. I love them briefs (but that’s another story).

Well first of all you should knock. You need to set some boundaries in your home, and he needs his. It sounds like he is ready for some privacy. I would definitely hide your Archie comics, they’re collectibles but you can give him Family Circus.
