My son has become promiscuis?

I just found out my normally reserved 19 yr old son has recently become promiscuis (sp?). I thought we were close, but his sister, 24, shared with me that he has been getting hickies, and has a box of condoms at the ready.  (They live with their mother).  I meet with him for breakfast every week. I cannot share anything i know of course. Other than listen, is there anything i can say or do? Are there any gay men that can provide insight? Thanks in advance.

    Don't do or say anything to your son. He's 19 years old; he's an adult; and his sex life is no longer any of your business. He being mature enough to use condoms, so you can thank your lucky stars for that.

    i'm a gay male and I remember in my late teens my mom finding a profile I was looking at online. i made up a lie when confronted about it but it just made me embarassed. If you try to talk to him about it, guaranteed he will share less with you, and he will only be angry with his sister, and that relationship will suffer. I get the concern, but the fact that he's using condoms shows he is reducing his risk enormously and that he's actively thinking about his health.

    Just because he has a box full of condoms also doesn't tell you how many people he's sleeping with...and maybe he's just trying to get it out of his system before he finds the right one for him.

    Don't try to figure out what to ask him. I actually feel bad for your son that he's basically trapped - you know something embarassing yet he doesn't know that you know that... but then yet again, he wouldn't want you to know if he had a choice. Which is why, his sister shouldn't have told you about it in the first place.

    If he's using condoms, that's the best you can hope for. Count your blessings.

    so he is of age , uses protection and knows what it is all about. Why do you still want to control his actions. Maybe the problem is that you have been too judgemental in the past and now he feeld that your opinion is of no importance any more
