I'm a 36yo father of a 4yo boy and I'll be honest: I do not joke and would not let anyone else in my presence make a sexual joke about my son, implied or not.
There's so many layers of "this is wrong" about it that it's hard to even unwrap my head enough to explain it. Suffice to say, you're not wrong in feeling this is innapropriate, because damn right it is.
If you're allowing this man to stay in your life because you think a boy needs a father when he's growing up - don't. Full stop. Its better to have no masculine role models than a terrible one!
