Like you, Yvonne, many mothers are first not aware of the necessity to excercise their maternal care also in this sensitive part of their son's live. This can be also due to a misunderstanding of the promotion of the independence of young people. But the simple fact of the matter is that boys at that age cannot be left alone with matters of their sexual health. It is a common experience for mothers, as you have made it too, that their son will protest the necessary control of their genital area, be it during a medical exam or at home. Would one leave this sensitive and highly critical area of medical care soley to the boy, it is very likely that he, due to hormon-induced shame, would not seek the advice of a medical professional in time, with possibly severe consequences for his sexual life. Therefore, it is unfortunately sometimes necessary to excercise coercion on the boy, where he does not understand the need to control and resists it. I have a friend whose son also had to be held during the inspection of his genital are in his puberty. These are painful moments for any mother, as one only wishes the best for ones son and does not want to see him in tears. But in these moments the need for control is more important than to let him have his way. A mother can comfort herself with the thought that, once the young man has matured and seen the error of his ways, he will be thankful to her for keeping his best interests at heart.
I think it is therefore that promoting the mother's right to oversee her son's sexual health is an important issue.
