Wattpad & Tick-tock

[atalost]

I'm mortified I'm typing this but just cannot get my head around it.

My 15 yr old son started watching Wattpad and it was stories or photos about other teenagers wearing & soiling nappies. At the same time we established this, we found soiled nappies hidden in the house and laxatives. I kept wondering why his toilet was left in such a mess after use!! We took him to the GP as I was scared it was an eating disorder. GP weighed him monthly, tried to talk to my son on his own, but he wouldn't open up to the doctor. Hubby prevented access so our son couldn't go on Wattpad and kept an eye on the content of his phone. Our son was very underweight and put a stone on, had stopped looking at Wattpad for a few months. He's then been away on 2 holidays and we found the toilet a mess again when we went for a walk after dinner. That made us look at his phone usage and he's back on Wattpad - having never deleted the App in the first place!

What is this about? Is our son weird? I'm at a loss

He probably has a fetish for wearing and using nappies. Try speaking to him in a nice way and ask him if he wants to be back in nappies. But set ground rules if this is what he wants.
You are not alone, there are millions of teens and adults that are into this. Look at it this way, better nappies than drugs and alcohol.

My goodness this just popped up on my actives for some unfathomable reason @atalost

WTF? How the hell did this develop since you started this thread?

unfortunately this does sound like he has a fetish for wearing and soiling nappies. I’d be blunt and ask if he does. fetishes like this aren’t as uncommon as you’d think, and many people have fulfilling relationships and lives while engaging in fetishes, so I wouldn’t worry too much about him being “weird”, there’s always others out there who would accept and understand him. you could prevent him from buying nappies, and block any apps like wattpad from his device but I don’t think that would stop his fetish. there are many reasons as to why people develop fetishes, and sometimes it’s just very random. if this worries you, you could try and contact a psychiatrist?
