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?????

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.
