Is this normal?! DS aged 4 get aroused!

[pinkdaisy]

Hi,
Just wondered if this is normal, my DS1 who is 4 gets aroused when watching people kissing on television.
He's always touching his bits, which I think is quite normal, but when he sees anyone kissing he gets all excited and gets an erection.
Is this normal?!!!!
I know they do get them from a very young age, but I wasn't sure if they are this aware of things like this!

Possible, although it's not the same as the feelings an adult might have as they are less aware their feelings, how to deal with them, and about what is considered appropriate expression of these feelings in public etc. I remember being quite shocked to see my friends daughter aged 4 french kissing a boy of the same age whilst on holiday and seeming to really enjoy it. She really appeared to love him - they went everywhere together all holiday, and did a lot of cuddling, but it was quite shocking to me to see her literally jump on top of him, knocking him to the ground and sitting on top of him, snogging him and trying to pull his trousers off! I remember trying to kiss a boy on the lips when I was at primary school though. I was around 6 or 7 years old, and I definitely fancied him.
