My father-in-law who we care for has parkinson and he plays with penis all the time and will ejaculate three or four times a day no matter who may be there. It's terribly embarrasing. He has a huge penis for an old man and he's proud of it. Is there any thing I can do about it or should I do anything?...........Thanks 1967jim
Don't be embarrassed --we pretty much all have had embarrassing moment with our loved ones!
Does your FIL take Requip (or ropinirole ) for his Parkinson's ? I think that is a common drug used for Parkinson's. That can cause sexual side effects and lack of inhibitions. Look it up on the Internet. My suggestion is talk with his doctors! I bet they can help!!! He should get off Requip if he does take it, I think.
Good luck!
I understand about embarrassment with the inappropriate sexual behavior in a parent. My Dad had dementia and it was so shocking at first but I kept reminding myself it was the disease not my Dad. He was given medication, seraquil, (sp?) which helped to calm him. The psychiatric nurse helped to explain the behavior. I learned I had to keep asking for help until I finally got it! Hang in there and remember it is the disease.
Second, don't be embarrassed all of us have parents that do something to embarrass us. I have to keep an eye on my mom or she lifts up her shirt to play with her clothes. I mean she doesn't care who sees what. Of course she says no one is watching. I tell her if she keeps it up, then she doesn't get to go out in public and she will have to stay at home. My mom likes to go and I know that, so that is my black mail tool.
My mom plays with her dentures and I have no idea how to prevent it or stop her. So far none of my techniques are that way.
But it sounds like there might be a drug out there to help your dad, so ask the doctor.
I would just stay away and don't help him clean up. If he has to sit in his mess after 3-4 times a day, maybe it won't be so fun anymore.
Joycews, what a bad situation. Ugh--- wish I could give you some advice but I just don't know ....:0( (((((hugs))))
It is too bad your little girl cannot have a relationship with her grandpa but good decision there. Better to keep her safe.
Well, Ferris, what can I say---good to know that you think it is OK to sit in the family room with company and go at it.
