Pictures and bras

My son has taken to cutting pictures of scantily clad women out of magazines, then secreting them away to a quiet place (toilet, laundry, etc) and rubbing himself with mum's bras while looking at the pictures. He's 5.

Thoughts of how to deal with this situation gratefully received. But I'm/we're already okay with how to deal with the bra bit.

Presumably, as a dad, you've done something similar in the past, although maybe at an older age? I'd start by telling him that what he's doing is private, but doesn't need to be secret, so he can jsut go to his room to look at such pictures.

Don't know if there's any issue about precoscious puberty, because he's young to be doing this. Does he have any older siblings?
