He's 18 and like any 18 year old boy he's looking forward to the things that he has been restricted from all of his life-- this is normal. The problem is that you are saying you don't want to control him and yet you are asking if you should "let" him go. If he has expressed his interest in strip clubs, bars, and clubs then there really isn't much you can say or do to stop him from going. Keep in mind that he is turning 18, not 21. He can't get drunk (not legally, anyway) and will be in his right mind when he goes out. The feelings of jealousy, on your half, are feelings that you will have to learn to accept and control or you can choose to let him go if the strip clubs and bar outings get out of control-- either way, you cannot control what he does, this is something that is up to both of you to work on as a couple.
