Ok yes I realise it's completely normal, but I have a question. Zander has recently in the last few weeks been able to pull his foreskin all the way back, so ever since he does it when he's naked & plays with his penis a bit. I'm just worried that he might do some damage pulling it back so often & playing with it like that?
Sorry silly mum here with no idea about little boys LOL!
I read the other day as Jack has just discovered his so I was looking into that it is quite healthy especially for boy uncir to play with their penis's as it helps the foreskin etc
I'd say that it is all very natural and exactly what is supposed to happen.
Oh this is good to know because Charlie is already starting to play with it every time we take of his nappy the hand goes straight for it lol.
Oh, yet another thing to look forward to.
yes my boy has been playing with his for a long time now and has done no damge yet and I guess compare with the teen years to come he really hasnt started with playing with it yet..
just wait until you have a girl they too play but it on the other hand can get very red a sore.
Yup, my DS already does this. Claws at it, pulls the foreskin already, bends it at right angles... DH says it's too painful to watch LOL. DS was a late developer (even though he found his penis before his feet) as DH was playing with his from birth!
I have a great photo of DS standing in fount of our car covered in car oil dressed only in red boots pulling so hard on his willy he has a pained look on his face but didnt feel a thing, it was funny the day he pulled it and felt it he looked at me as if to say thats not ment to happen? will have to see if I can up load this photo tommorrow as it is very funny keeping it for his 21st will blow it up nice and big LOL
Yup, totally normal. :)
My friend's little girl is constantly fiddling just now, and is quite sore. It's a dilemma then - i wouldn't want to stop DD, it's her body afterall, but i'll be keeping her nails VERY short!

Yep girls are just as bad.
It makes it worse if you tell them to stop so i just ignore them.
Welcome to life with a little boy Sarah. Like to say it changes but we all know that it doesn't.
Hun think of it this way. Like anything that he does do, if it hurts him or causes him discomfort he will stop. If you make a fuss about it he will do it all the more.
And yes, as I am discovering, little girls like to play with their bits too.
Sarah, don't fret, he'll probably give it 3-4 hours of action a day now that he's discovered the new function. My bloody parents still go on about me and my penis obsession (like puppetry of the penis) when I was that age and a bit older.
If it hurts or is doing damage, he'll start sooking and then not go near it again for a bit!
Maybe Alex is strange as he doesn't touch his at all.
none of my boys have played with thiers either. i mean they have but not to that extent.
Out of curiousity what age are you supposed to teach them how to pull their foreskin back to clean it. I am under the impression as long as they give the whole penis a good clean with water then its fine. none of my boys are circ and never had a infection
Hi Sarah
What your little man is doing is quite normal and will not cause any harm. If it was causing him any pain or discomfort he would stop doing it. I can’t actually remember playing with my penis when I was that young but I bet I did and the one that I have got now, the same one I suspect that I used to play with from about 1 year old, is still working fine.
I know what little boys can be like after all I used to be one. :)
Yeah you definitely don't retract it for them, or teach them to do so before about 5-6 and then its usually something they do on their own as far as I know.
If it hasn't become red or irritated I'd say its fine ;)
Yeah he's been playing with it for ages, it's just the foreskin coming back that's very new! Glad to hear that it's all ok though.
Thanks thats what I thought:
I have just up loaded that photo of zay is his red boots its just in the members gallery under my user name
It's funny how they never stop playing with it....................................
Bec Paris has done the same thing, and we had to teach her she needed to be gentle with her body. She would wake up in the middle of the night screaming, I'm not sure what she did as I didn't examine closely but my understanding from what she explained she's rubbed it too much. So she and I had a chat about her body and she can do what she likes but she needs to be careful or she is going to hurt herself. I came to the realisation that it was my responsibility to teach her not to hurt herself because in any other situation we wouldn't let them do something without them knowing the consequences if it resulted in pain so I figure the same needs to apply here. And the other reason is because when she's woken up with a sore vagina at 3 am and screaming in pain I'd prefer to prevent that and get some sleep LOL! She knows her body is her own, but she just needs to be gentle.
I remember freaking out at first, but I know that its perfectly normal behaviour (even though it seems less socially acceptable for girls than it is for boys...) and I don't want to create all sorts of disfunction by making a big deal out of it or forbidding it (how hypocritical would that be LMAO!).
nixon pulls at his like hes trying to pull it off .... he pokes it and all sorts ...he has such a giggle and smug smile when he does it tho ... i have some great footage for his 21st !!
I don't mind 2yo DD 'playing', but I have issues about it. I'm fine with it, but I'm paranoid that if I don't kinda get her to keep it private that she will do it at a pool or beach etc, & in front of the wrong people. Is it normal to feel like this?
Don't worry I'm the same BJ, we also taught her that it was something she did in private. So its not something she's allowed to do in front of others iykwim?
Tyler found his when he was around one and since he found it he won't keep his hands of it. Like father like son I guess. lol
Thanks for that Cai. I know you get it :) It's hard, coming from an abusive past, to know how to handle these things "normally".
Kisses to you hun.

Great thread! I was just thinking about this the other day...my little fella has been playing with his for months now but it won't be long before he realises it 'does' different things. Oh the fun times ahead...hehe... I have no idea about little boys bits... ;)
I have two younger brothers. They were always playing with theirs. It's just something they do.
I reckon it goes in to the same basket as when they discover their feet. Just another "bit" to play with - and in a very handy place too. Not too much effort required to grab it.
