Impulse control like control of masturbation would be a problem especially if he has little else to do. Female hormones ( oestrogens ) can be tried for control of impulsive sexual behavior. Also find him a hobby like playing music on a keyboard. Doesn’t matter how he plays as long as he gets interested in it.

Puberty brings on hormonal changes. He is no longer a child but an adult now. However due to mental retardation he is being treated as a retarded child. My guess is that some of what is happening he can understand and that must be very frustrating for him. He needs to be seen by an adult psychiatrist. You haven’t said what is his IQ? Is he self caring. Is he able to dress himself and feed himself? Can he wash and bathe? There are institutions that are happy to take such individuals and train them in simple basic skills. This approach will remove his frustration which he is unable to express except through crying bouts.

IQ or intelligence quotient can be measured. Saying that somebody has low IQ does not mean anything. Range of normal IQ is 90 to 120. A person who has an IQ of 80 or 90 has low IQ can still learn skills. He needs to have an adult psychiatrist assess him and measure his IQ through psychometric tests which would show his ability to learn skills, control his emotions and see whether he has a mood disorder on top of his low IQ. Mood disorder can make him depressed. The depression can be treated with medication. Above all he needs assessment by an expert.
