Hi,
My Father is 90 and lives with my husband and I. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year (my mother also had it and passed away nearly 10 years ago).
My father seems to have required a habit which I think has been going on for 2 years where he is constantly watching porn on his computer or DVDs on the TV which I find really distressing and when I try to talk to him about it he says he has no interest and won’t do it again (he always does).
Two weeks ago I came home to find him watching porn at the computer (which is in the dining area) and he was masturbating and again today my husband came home from work and he was completely naked watching a pornographic film and doing it again.
I believe there is a connection with Alzheimer’s from some research I’ve just done online but I just wanted to know if anyone else has experience with this and if there is anything that can be done to help.
I am struggling to cope with this change in his behaviour and find it really distressing and talking to someone in a similar situation I feel would be helpful.
Many thanks
