Oh Lordy yes. My son consistently steals my VS catalog. :) Relax, it's uncomfortable to think about, but he's getting aroused by it. I suppose it depends on how old he is as to how you want to handle it --- I had my husband just briefly discuss the private issues associated with his actions -- because we don't view it as wrong, just something you make sure you're private about. Our son was embarrassed, but it was fine (he was around 13 at the time).
Well, relax -- it just goes on forever... think about men in your life & how centered their minds are on sex :) So, now you need a funny story .... my son is now 15 and about 6 months ago we were emptying his room to prepare to paint and put new carpet in. When we moved the mattress, we found something like 5 empty bottles of lotion (from Bath and Body Shop no less!!!) under the mattress !! I started cracking up laughing and told my husband, geez, I kept wondering how I was going thru all that lotion so fast, now I know!! Then my son walked in and saw what we'd discovered and all he said was ... "Wow, this is awkward..." and walked out of the room. :)

Just be glad he is looking at girls. If he was gay you would need to do way more then letting him continue. School kids would pick on him and he would have issues for life.
So yes this is normal for a male teen.
Just make sure there is a tissue box around, you dont want that stuff in that "special sock."
Oh and some nice lotion, some stuff might start to give him a rash and he would not want to come to you about it. No rash = no problem.

YOUR SON IS GOING THROUGH A STAGE IN HIS LIFE WHERE HE IS TRUNING INTO A YOUNG MAN.
HIS BODY IS GOING THROUGH CHANGES THAT WE ALL GO THROUGH. BOY AND GIRLS GO THROUGH THIS.
ALL YOU CAN DO IS HELP HIM WITH THIS. TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON.
GIVE HIM THE SUPPORT HE WILL OR MAY NEED.
GET BOOKS THAT WILL HELP THE BOTH OF YOU IN THIS.
GIVE HIM SUPPORT, LOVE, AN OPEN EAR, AND LOTS OF PRAYERS.
MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR SON, AND GIVE YOU PEACE ALWAYS, AND BLESS YOU BOTH.

as a guy who has been there, it is definitely normal behavior, but I am guessing that you don't want them back. You might be better off asking him about them, and if you really want to use them, ask him not to take them. It's a bit embarrassing for him, but at least you will still get to order your bras!

I don't have a teenage boy.. but boys will be boys. I would rather not know what he is doing. he is not hurting anyone. If they were kid magazines, I'd be worried
