‘Is it wrong?’: A woman who sleeps naked in bed with her teenage son looks to internet for advice

The question posted on Q&A website Quora has left audiences outraged.

A woman’s query about whether it’s wrong for her to sleep in the same bed as her 16-year-old son while naked has been met with shock and confusion from people of the internet. The question, which has since been deleted from Quora, had been viewed over half a million times and garnered dozens of responses.

The question read: “Is it wrong for me (a mother) to sleep naked with my 16-year-old son?”

Most of the responses were unsurprisingly negative, with a lot of people asking why the woman has to be naked.

A user by the name of Shannon Gilles answered bluntly while warning the woman of the legal issues to consider.

“From a US perspective it’s pretty f*cked. If your son were to casually mention to someone (friend, teacher, relative) that you and he share a bed and that you also are naked this person could potentially cause a LOT of legal issues for you, at least here in the US,” Shannon wrote.

Chic Mendoza told the mum her question was “nine years too late” as children conventionally stop sleeping in the same bed as their parents from before the age of seven, let alone naked.

“Thank you for asking this question as it indicates that you too are uncertain of how to act within the boundaries set by society. Even if you are uncomfortable sleeping with your clothes on, it is an adjustment you have to make to accept that you already have a young man in your household,” she responded.
