  • That is totally fine and is actually in Sigmund Freud's theory of the 5 stages of psychosexual development:
    1. From birth to the age of 1 year old - oral stage (mouth)
    2.1-3 years old - anal stage (bowel and bladder control)
    3. 3-6 years old - phallic stage (genitals)
    4. 6-puberty - libido interest
    5. Puberty to death - psychosexual development

    I think you should just let him do what he wants, and I think he needs his father more than anyone else right now so as to avoid the Oedipus complex, which is a vital part for the formation of your brother's sexual identity. Here's a link: psychology.about.com/.../def_oedipuscomp.htm

    It may sound a bit too crazy, but I think there's some merit to it. I've personally noticed that those people I know to be homosexuals now didn't have their same-sex parent growing up as a kid.

    • Should he do allover where around us lol? 😅😅

    • :)) Yeah, I think it's best if his 'exploration' isn't hindered as that can cause some negative effects in the future. He'll get enough of it, eventually.

    • Ok but he wants to show me , sometimes says do it mine lol 😝😝 İ can't do lol it is weird Also just not for me

  • That's perfectly normal. Little kids go through a period of fascination with their genitals. It's when you learn to be proud of body and comfortable in your own skin. It's a key point in sexual development and if you shame them in that period, that can have massive repercussions down the road.

    If you scroll down to the bottom of this page www.the-clitoris.com/female_masturbation there's a section called Children and Privacy that has good advice. It's too long for me to copy here verbatim. I know the article is geared towards girls but the same advice applies to boys just as well.

    As for circumcision I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. The little kid has a normal, perfectly functioning penis. Why mess with it? It's just fine as it is.

    • Were u doing this thing boys 😅

  • Alternately, just don't mention it, or, if you see him doing it, just say "put it away". I mean, it's sexual exploration, albeit at a young age.

    • Were u doing this thing boys 😅

    • Nope lol. And the circumcise is a bad idea. All your doing is bringing more attention to his D which will make him play with it more.

  • No need for the Doc. Its normal.. just tell him dont do it in front of other people. Its a private thing and can make others uncomfortable.

    • Ahah yes that is the main point he does among us

    • So tell him its fine for him to do it.. just keep it for the bedroom :)

    • Were u doing this thing boys 😅

  • Its normal. My brother had a thing fir humping everythin insight

    • Ahah really , it is cute lol isn't it

  • Omg he's playing with his penis. Ahhhhhh!!! Send him to the doctors!!!

    Its normal.

    • Were u doing this thing boys 😅

  • Don't circumcise. It's important to retract the foreskin while growing up so that later in life it doesn't choke the penis.

    • Think so lol dont worry , circ is a sadistic think without a medical reason

  • Yes, boys of young age know how to masturbation which seems to be written in our DNA. But you had better consult a doctor for help rather than decide it on you own!

  • It's normal for him to play with his penis for his age just tell him that's to be done in privacy
    such as his bedroom

    • Were u doing this thing boys 😅

    • Hell yeah i played with myself when i was little boy i go in the back yard with no shame pull on that thing i was just learning to walk but i can remember faintly hahhaha

    • What's embarrassing i was young in the yard and the guy who owned the Maw Paw store was on his porch in back but when your a little boy you don't know much at that age i played with myself in 5th grade class-room when in the boys bathroom and finished myself off than the year later when i was playing with myself i start developing cum and got scared i didn't know what it was i scared shitless hell i"ll cum all over the place now hahhahaa

  • That is normal. Just tell him not to do that where people can see him.

    • How directly?

    • Directly. Don't yell or anything, but explain it isn't appropriate to touch certain parts of the body around other people. Isn't this something your parents should be talking to him about?

    • @update. Please do not mutilate any boys penis by circumcising them. The foreskin actually serves a very important function in protecting the glans, and keeps the glans from drying out. The entire idea that cutting off the foreskin prevents problems can be summed up like this. If you cut off any part of the human body, nothing can ever go wrong with that amputated body part. That is a stupid reason to cut parts off of other people.
