My son is infatuated with his penis :(

[paradise lost]

Kel i was on the phone to DP and said, "Kelly is concerned that her son is obsessed with his penis" and he replied "tell her i'm concerned that you're obsessed with mine". LMAO!

TBH it sounds like typical boy-behaviour to me. In fact typical kid behaviour since DD is constantly telling me about and poking at her "bits". Don't worry, in a few years he'll become so self conscious he won't leave the house due to a zit and you'll look back sadly on the happy days when he would show anything to anyone...

ROFL Bec!!! You are right... just like everything else, one day it's all going to be all but a memory.... bah I worry too much.

[Celsie]

Oh God... do I have this to look forward to?!?

I think from the sounds of it, it's a novelty and he's just trying to get some sort of reaction/attention from you. If he see you're not interested in the game, he'll soon tire and move onto something else... an by the sounds of it, he's run out of inappropriate of body parts!

Im actually going to write down all your answers so i know what to do/say when its my turn to deal with this...Which wont be that far away...

[Kitt3n]

my DF says not to worry, it will never stop

reminds me of a joke i heard a long time ago (forgive me, i dont have the best memory and am a crap joke teller, but here goes!)

A conversation between a mother and her little boy. The little boy has just discovered his penis.

"Mummy" he says, " Is this my brain?"

"Not yet!" She replies

[Muppity]

OK now I have the song "magical penis" in my brain and all I can think of is taking it off at night and leaving it in the medicine cabinet. Actually maybe you could tell him that story - didn't the guy "misplace" it LOL

[Schmickers]

Well, I'm 30, and I'm still reasonably infatuated with mine, so you might have another 26.5 years left to ride this out...

Having said that, it's a long time since I whipped it out in front of strangers...

I would try not to worry too much about it. It's annoying, but some boys develop different ideas about modesty than others, and it will pass. It doesn't sound to me like there's the slightest bit of inappropriate sexual knowledge or activity there, given his age, so just keep reminding him that you want him to play with it in private.

And I actually think you deserve commendation - I think it's great that he's so comfortable with his body.

Zander is too! We tell him though that he needs to play with it in his room only, so he'll run off to his room & two seconds later comes back & tells us he's finished
