The Problem with Mothers Sexualizing Their Sons on Social Media

In the above post, a mother expresses to the world her raw anger over catching her son masturbating at the unacceptable hour of 1 pm. As this post shows, oversharing on social media is a problem, but mothers sexualizing their sons is an even bigger problem. It’s become borderline incestuous. Masturbation is normal, and no boy should have his business spread across the internet to his family, friends and strangers, least of all by his mother. This is problematic for several reasons.

Victim to the Freaky Mother

When describing the events following catching her son masturbating, Bri wrote, “I walked out and [he] finished and we talked after.” The image she has painted for the world to envision is one she already has in detail: her son “finishing”, ejaculating, during masturbation. It’s a grossly grotesque detail that didn’t need to be included, but it begs to be asked why she included it.

One could say she included the part about her son’s “finishing” to show it was no big deal to her or to him, but others see it as an unnecessary detail that serves no purpose. How did she know he finished? Did she ask him?

Imagine being a boy and having your mother “set boundaries” around your masturbation…

She also explains that she and him “talked about it” and “set boundaries”. In the previous post, she says she was “furious” after catching him and that it was “1p in the afternoon…” So, masturbating is restricted to certain times? Is this the boundary she set? That he can’t masturbate during certain times? Also, did she tell him where he could and couldn’t masturbate?

Imagine being a boy and having your mother “set boundaries” around your masturbation as if you need to be told how and when to do it. Imagine having that conversation immediately after committing the act and having to agree to do it under her regulations. What this does is alert her, Bri, to when her son is jerking it. For instance, if she tells him it’s OK only between 7 pm and 8 pm, if she doesn’t see him around the house during that time, she knows what he’s doing. Why does she need to know this? This is masturbation surveillance.

With seeing [her son] compromised and then painting the rest in her mind, she had enough to get off.

It seems that Bri gets some sort of sexual arousal from sharing this information to the public. It feels like exhibitionism. In her first post, she wrote of being “furious”. After people in the comments expressed concerns about her sharing this information, she wrote a longer post in greater gross detail. It left commenters with more questions than answers, as previously noted. The primary questions being, how and why does she know her son “finished”?

Also, the fact that she chose the word “finish” says a lot. She could have written, “He finished masturbating.” But she just wrote, “finished”. She means he ejaculated. She’s imagined her son ejaculating and then summoned him to have a conversation with her right after the act. Why couldn’t she give him some time, space and distance? It seems that her son wasn’t the only one who might have finished. With seeing him compromised and then painting the rest in her mind, she had enough to get off. And she chose to turn to social media to heighten that exhilaration. It reeks of incestuous thoughts.

The Takeaway

Mothers should stop oversharing about their sons and sexualizing them, and Bri Sherrelle is a case study in incestuous posting concerning her son. Putting his story out there for the world to see, including friends, family, strangers and future employers is an unforgivable betrayal. Hopefully after seeing those posts, fewer mothers follow behind her.
