Hi.
First and foremost, I want to introduce myself. You can call me Cassandra, though that's not my real name. I'm a mother, 40 years old, and I've been reading your stories for a while now. I've been nervous for a long time coming, but I finally decided to work up the courage to write to you.
I've loved reading all the conversations you've had with other women online, especially how you helped them sort out their issues with incest and their sons. So I thought perhaps you could help me too. I'm not sure if these conversations are real or not. I would hope so, because I would really like advice from someone, and I mean advice from someone who would 'encourage' me to pursue my passions rather than go against them as a counselor would probably say.
The thing is, for about four months, I've been really attracted to my one and only son Elton. He's 18 and he's a really sweet boy. He's a very cute young man, a little on the skinny nerdy side but I love him very much.
About half a year ago though, my husband's sex drive started lacking. I don't know why but around six months ago he stopped making love to me as much as he used to. My husband became more absorbed in his work than in me. I don't remember how it happened or when, but sometime after he became a workaholic, I started masturbating by myself again. Without him to please me, I just had to do it myself. And one night, while I was rubbing myself, my thoughts switched to my dear son. I don't know why but it just happened and before I knew it, I became addicted. I was seeing Elton in a whole new way, masturbating to images of him, imagining him and I having sex.
It's gotten so bad that my husband can no longer satisfy my sexual needs. I know from your stories that most boys are supposedly feeling the same way, but Elton seems perfectly normal. He hasn't shown any sexual interest in me, or in older woman, from what I've observed. I don't know if I should try and act on my feelings for him, or if I should try and ignore them. And if I do act on my feelings for him, what'll I do if he rejects me?
I do hope you'll give me some advice.
ME: Hello Cassandra. That's a real cry for help darling. I can really understand your frustration and your growing obsession. First of all, let me say that all my conversations are true. They really took place. A bit of editing here and there, but I did have those conversations.
I'm sorry to hear that your love life has dwindled to nil. But it happens! Mine is just about once a week now, but then I'm rather older!! And I have to 'finish myself off', even so. I masturbate quite a lot. I love the feeling of contentment orgasms give me. Please, don't feel embarrassed, or 'dirty', at having these thoughts. It happens a lot. I don't have any children, but I would probably feel the same if I did. Sex is just so normal and natural a feeling.
Well, perhaps you can tell me what your relationship with your son is like. Do you confide in each other for example. Are you close. Do you hug. Has he got a girl friend? I guess he gets on the internet quite a lot. Does he watch porn, do you think? Most children do. Have you checked his recent browsing list? That would give you some idea of his sexual interests.
Do come back to me Cassandra, and I'll see if I can take you further.
CASS: Oh my gosh, Sarah, thank you for replying to me ... it means a lot to know that someone out there is willing to help. I'm glad to hear your stories are true ... I was worried.
Recently, my sex drive has been rather active. Before, I used to be 100% faithful to my husband. I didn't try to get off unless he was willing to help me out too. But he's been losing interest, and now that my own thoughts have strayed to my son, I can't stop myself. My son and I share a normal relationship, if you ask me. We've never acted sexual or anything like that before. Before last year, I'd never had the thought of seeing him in a sexual way. He's always been very nice and filial with only the occasional argument. It was my husband who gave him 'the talk', you know. I figured it was a 'boys' sort of issue so I let him handle it.
My son's only 18 and doesn't have a girlfriend yet. I've wondered if he was gay but my husband assured me he wasn't.
As for whether he watches porn ... I don't know why, but thinking about it turns me on. I imagine he has to have watched porn at some point in his life surely. I don't know if he does it regularly or not. I'll check his browser history when he goes for school later today.
In the meantime, how should I go about handling this? I've read your stories and now that I know it's true ... do you think I should try for a relationship with my son, or should I just forget it and move on? I know how wrong the first option is ... he might not be receptive to it, and I'm essentially cheating on my husband AND depriving my son the chance of getting a girlfriend and starting his own family ... but I just can't help it anymore. I really want him ... I'm masturbating to him almost every day now. Him living so close in the same house and yet not letting me have him is such a tease...which course of action should I take?
