What Causes A Male Teenager To Use Pantyhose?

My son is 16 and he steals my pantyhose and cuts them up and attaches them to shorts he has also cut up into a skirt...I also found a dildo in his room just yesterday. I do not use anything like that and have no idea where he got it. Is this normal?????

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
From the description you have posted it appears that your son is having a disorder called 'transvestism'.
Transvestism is the practice of dressing and acting in a style or manner traditionally associated with the other sex. It is not a normal phenomenon. He needs to be treated by means of psychological counselling.
Kindly consult Psychiatrist in this regard for appropriate management.
Wish you all the best.
