Family tries to stop son from becoming priest

[Strangebuddy]

Our lead is a good looking guy who's well liked but very straight laced. At the end of high School, he finally admits that he intends to begin training to become a priest. Parents and his family are shocked: yes they go to church and are fairly religious but they never thought their son would want to actually be a priest.

Mom is ticked as well: she dreams of grand babies and his older siblings are either unable to have kids or have no interest and she was hoping he would break the mold. Dad wants him to financially sound future and the family doesn't want a priest weighing down their crazy reunions or morally questionable enterprises.

So they need to find a way to convince him to change his mind or ruin his chances. But how? Disowning him would only be an emotional blow and his parents don't hate him. He's done his reasearch and all the paperwork so they can't trip him up there. So what can they do to either make him look bad or get him to follow a more traditional career path?

try to revive his needs

so the mom does whats needed... as she always knows whats best for his baby.... she decided to put him in the cycle of never ending... needs.. arousal.. cravings.. which won't let him give up the sinful world...
Dad knows as once one tastes the forbidden apple... will always come back to the eve.. but the question is who will do the honor!?? shall they keep it in family or seek help anywhere else... but where??

my version of course would be "Our Daughter is a Nun?" - but I think that validates the OP concept.

Twin siblings (identical, of course), one headed for a life of celibacy, the other for a life of sin. They'e tricky, it's only a show, and they swap places frequently for the bennies. The priest and the playboy, the nun and the dominatrix, yada yada. All told from the POV of their shared confessor, a dirty old wanker pleasuring himself at their admissions.

Older siblings are sisters, and even if they have children in wedlock they won't carry the family name. To make up for this shortcoming, the girls are recruited into deflowering their younger brother, introducing him to a life of sin which will feel far more gratifying than seminary school.

Why stop him from doing whatever it is he wants to do? Put a new spin on it.
Here's my idea: Son becomes a priest defying parents' wishes. Son gets into some BDSM with some nuns. One young nun comes along and son turned priest impregnates her. Then son buys up church properties and building homes around them as he somehow turns all the real estate stuff into a nice little profit - thus, becoming rich to please his dad. Also, son has provided mom w/grandkids.

Everyone's happy!

Original Thought

I really like the original thought. Mom and Dad are pissed at son because he's the only one to carry the last name, or something like that.

So, instead of trying to talk him out of it, they hire a prostitute or get some girl off craigslist to work her magic on him. He doesn't fall for it so they try a guy, maybe he's gay? That doesn't work either.

What would work? That's your story to tell. maybe the girl takes him to a swingers club so he can see the fun. She leads him on a hedonistic lifestyle and he survives to join the clergy?

I don't know, it's your story. Unless you go a different direction. In that case, I'll write it as you originally described.

I like the realism to it. I'd stay away from the incest or BDSM angle but that's just me.

You have something there. I'm curious to see what develops.

Except there isn't an actual law stating that a woman must change her name, I don't really pay attention right now but when I was in school (twenty odd years back) it wasn't uncommon at all to come across children and women with hyphenated names or women who blah blah blah. I mean I guess this falls into that category of if you can sell the reader who cares.
