The parent's solution to their son's problem seems superficial and a bit off target. Having sex doesn't guarantee any degree of social skill development or later life success, especially as it could involve unwanted pregnancy or confusion about emotional entanglements.

Imagine if the son's character were to find out his parents felt it necessary to pay someone to have sex with him, as if he could not find a willing partner on his own? This seems more problematic than simply allowing him to become sexually active when he chooses and to not use Maddie's desperate circumstances to alleviate their anxieties.

My point, weak plot that doesn't work for me.
