New here and I am really just looking for some advice. My brother has aspergers and he's a great guy, I love hanging out with him, we go shopping together, out to the movies, play video games, etc.
But there is one thing that bugs me, our whole family is on Discord and he tends to put sexual pictures as his avatars. He also looks at these things in public on his phone where I can see sometimes. My sister and I try to tell him that it is very awkward and uncomfortable but he says flat out that he doesn't care and doesn't want to be regulated.
We don't mind talking about sex or sexuality, but nobody, especially my mother, wants to see the kind of porn or fetish comics he likes to look at, that is a private thing to us. Nothing wrong with it, just not something you want to share with your family! I don't know what to say that will make him at all empathetic to that perspective. I certainly don't want to stifle his sexuality or creativity, but I don't want him to alienate the people around him.
Advice?
