The answer

Many young people have been afflicted with pornography addiction due to its easy accessibility, which prevents them from being content with their wives. This addiction is a disease that requires a cure, and the greatest cures for addiction are voluntary or involuntary abstinence from the source of addiction, occupying one's time with what benefits, and visiting a psychiatrist. The matter requires effort from you to help him get rid of this addiction, by trying to distract him from electronic devices that open this door to him, and by talking to him about studies warning against the dangers of addiction to these devices, as well as by trying to occupy his time with everything beneficial in worldly and religious matters, and helping him to work in obedience to Allah. If you find aversion from him, suggest that he sit with a psychiatrist. We also advise you to consult a trustworthy and religious female psychological counselor for advice on the details of your interaction with him. It is not permissible to delve into the details of the marital relationship and its related matters with any man other than your father, due to the opening of doors to temptation or falling into forbidden attachment that may result from it. Your task here, in short, is: to occupy him with yourself rather than others, and to make him content with what is permissible, preventing him from looking towards what is forbidden. His viewing of third-gender pornographic clips is an abnormal behavior that does not necessarily mean the person is abnormal.
