"bottoms'
'snogging

he's only 9..in yr 4!!!

I asked who had been looking at that and he went bright red and said it was him , all apologetic and said he wouldn't do it again
I didn't say much . Dh going to have a word about it to him ,ie just natural curiosity.

He's reading David Walliams , Boy in Dress which has reference to dirty mags but tbh I haven't read anymore of it. He's very into the book atm .When I read a bit the other night I did feel it was slightly too old for him but heis clearly loving it .

bump

someone !!!
do i have a weirdly mature 9yr old

he says no one has given him the idea

God I dread this

My ds is same age and is so far from doing this that I did it hard to get my head around

No advice, I'm sure you will handle it brilliantly whatever you do

But our baby boys have to grow up

that's what I thought about ds ..before this
am so shocked

he has avoided computer since

When I was in my early teens my brother was about the same age as your ds. We didn't have the internet so my mum never found him googling sexy women, however he was insanely curious about me and my sister.

He was caught trying to see us naked (bursting into our bedroom while we were getting changed), had an obsession with mentioning the fact that we had boobs and wore bras at every possible opportunity, he played with the girly stuff in the bathroom (burned himself with hair removal cream ) and even retrieved used sanitary towels from the bathroom bin to examine them.

I dont know if its true but apparently this was normal curiosity, my sister and I took the view that he was a perv. We got our own back though when he was about 15 and we found his stash of nuts mags

I think it's perfectly natural curiosity No idea about that book though, not read it.

Googling "bottoms" is quite cute It's not as though he is searching for "close up of vulva"

Must add, there wasn't a dad or male figure dbro could talk to so maybe that influenced him?

DD is in year 4, and at the moment a lot of the boys in her year seem to be obsessed with sex, snogging etc. I'm hoping this is just a phase because they have only just really discovered the concept, and then they'll go off it for a few years.

DD is standing aloof from all of this and tells the boys off when they are bothering her and her friends by saying they want to have sex with them...

(However, DS is 13 and when he was 9 definitely thought girls were yuck and never mentioned sex, at least not when I was around. He was just interested in trains. Rather different now, though.)

phew thank god you think it's sort of normal

he has 20yr old sister , I'll blame her
