youdontknowme Cough, the question should be first, which country the guy is from, but yes, it's abuse in almost all places.
(Even in the GOP ruled US states he should be able to get help, by phrasing it as "help, my parents locked me into a sex toy", let's see if child services doesn't show with a blue light escort from the PD if they get such a call 😆 )
But fact is that cultural approaches to "self abuse" DO vary by jurisdiction.
