It must be awfully nice to have a penis

Ds1 and Ds2 are very, very attached to theirs. Ds1 likes to hold on in case it falls off, while Ds2 will dive in the moment his nappy is removed.

I am jealous. And curious.

Men: what is it that is so lovely about holding on to a penis?

People with daughters: what do they do instead (I don't want them to be missing out!)?

My boys fiddle with their willies and my girls fiddle with their ladies' bits. all of them are always fiddling!

FlameSparrow · 02/08/2006 08:35

DD was never so interested in fiddling, but DS (24 weeks) loves his boy bits sooo much . You take off his nappy, his hand grabs on and pulls for all he's worth, and he shoves his thumb in his mouth and looks all happy.

The rest of us sit and wince though because he pulls and squeezes soooo hard!

Girls fiddle just as much - as least mine do.

FlameSparrow · 02/08/2006 09:18

Anyone else wanting this title to be "Do you have a penis? Ooooh I'd love to have a penis"

colditz · 02/08/2006 09:40

Boys have willies but girls have shoes.

SSSandy · 02/08/2006 09:41

never wanted one myself. Can't see the attraction in it really

NotAnOtter · 02/08/2006 09:42

my boys all fiddle esp the babies. my daughter does not cos she is a ladeee

throckenholt · 02/08/2006 09:45

I think it is like a security blanket - but one that you can't lose and can also make you feel quite good if you fiddle with it.

I am convinced my boys will break theirs if they don't stop being quite so rough (3.5 and 5 - lots of opportunity recently because on increased lack of clothes in the hot weather - not sure how they are going to cope when it is cold enough to wear clothes again )

I sometimes wonder how the male of the species gets anything done - they seem totally distracted by their penis

SSSandy · 02/08/2006 09:47

def rather have shoes!

Rookiemum · 02/08/2006 09:55

My 18 weeks ds favourite new trick is to grab at his willy when he has a particularly dirty nappy then try to shove his poo covered fingers into his mouth......Nice......
Oh he also does the tugging and squeezing of testicles so hard that it makes DH wince.

MrsBadcrumble · 02/08/2006 10:00

Sigh
I have a ds, 2.7, and he almost never fiddles. Never has done. i got him to wash his penis himself last night in the bath and he just giggled like he'd done something naughty.
Blimey, i hope he's ok.....

throckenholt · 02/08/2006 10:03

maybe he is a slow starter ? My DS1 never fiddled much until recently - he is now just 5 (maybe he learnt it from his younger brothers ?).

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2006 10:05

Ds is constantly holding onto his. He is a nightmare and gets very gleeful when he can proclaim 'look mummy I made it big..I did it' with a huge grin...

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2006 10:06

god mrsbadcrumble..i want your son..mine is 2.9yrs and been fiddling for about a year..went worse when he toilet trained 7mths ago.

FullOfTestosterone · 02/08/2006 10:08

Ok, this is really embarassing... but I have been wanting to ask forever...
Well, in the testy household, DD is the one that can't keep her hand out of her bits! She even is keen in outting her hand in DS's bits! Is she OK?!
She is 3.5 years and I try to be cool, but sometimes I snap... Is really frustrating to talk with someone about what to have for dinner and have her sprawled, playing with herself...
What am I supposed to do? surely I won't make her completly repressed by telling her not do paly with herself in public, right?

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2006 10:10

FOT I have started to tell ds if he wants to fiddle to go into his room which so far has led to him stopping fiddling for all of 5mins but its a start. Maybe you could say the same to dd..tell her it is something she can do in her room but not when everyone is watching????

Also have same worries about making ds petrified to touch himself..lol

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2006 10:11

oh and about her touching ds bits is normal..they are that age where they are interested in everything..ds often comes to have a nose at dds 'jina' because it is different...usually when I am doing nappy I hasten to add..lol

flutterbee · 02/08/2006 10:11

As soon as ds's nappy is taken off his little hand grabs for it and he just wont let go, hes nearly 9 months now and when he first started doing it at about 7 months he would giggle hysterically whilst tugging away at it. Men!!!

FullOfTestosterone · 02/08/2006 10:15

Thanks Nemo! Feel better already!
How often are you willing to say the same thing, if I may ask? I find myself repeating the samething adnaseum!
My threat is, you will not wear a skirt anymore!
But she cries so much that I give in!

FlameSparrow · 02/08/2006 10:17

Handful of poo here Didn't grab him in time!

zephyrcat · 02/08/2006 10:22

I'm with MrsBadCrumble on this one! DS is 2.1 and has never been remotely interested in his!! In fact when his nappy is off he's quite pleased to get a new one on with lots of "Thank you Mummy!" He obviously isn't going to take after his father who cannot leave it alone and if I mention it get accused of 'Penis Envy'!

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2006 10:50

fulloftestosterone..we have 3 times then I will move him out of the room too the hall or where there is no one.

Skribble · 02/08/2006 11:17

Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy,
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger,
To the world's biggest prick.

So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas,
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork,
Your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.

Eric Idle.
