Hello everyone. I am really needing your thoughts on this please. My husband is 29 yrs old and has been making collages for about 15 yrs now. The collages consist of pics of women cut out of magazines, animated naked women, video game characters, etc.  I was looking through one of the collages the other day and found a very disturbing drawing of a young boy sucking on his mom's boob and jacking off. When I confronted him about the pic, he admitted it was out of line and tore it into pieces. My husband is an artist and said he put the pic in there because he liked the drawing of the woman. I am very concerned about this pic though. I would love to have a family someday but not sure if I want to bring a child into his world. I am not jealous of these collages but just concerned. He is almost 30 and still doing this and probably always will. Ladies-- what if your husband was doing this?? Would you be ok with it??  He thinks that what he is doing is normal but I disagree. Do you think it's normal? I appreciate all your input!

Is he an artist for a living?
I am an artist. I don't do it for a living but I went to school for it.
There is a fine line between what he might've intended to make a point of through his art, and what he personally feels.
I think you should ask him what that artpeice meant to him and discuss more his ideas about human sexuality.
You can use his art to gain some insight into his soul, but you shouldn't let it be the sole determining factor in judging his personality. In fact, you should trust your husband enough to not wonder if he'd be a safe parent, so maybe you've got some gut instinct telling you otherwise?

I agree w/ Sandra. Talk to him about it but when you do don't do it in a threatening way. Give him permission to be open and honest with you. You may find out a lot about your husband and be able to resolve this feeling you have.
