Is it normal for a son to ask to touch your penis?

50% Normal
6 Comments

I'm a single dad of one. It's just been him and I for a long time and we're open about nudity and everything except a few months ago he started to slap (lightly) my penis and run off. I just thought it was funny until recently, he asked if he could touch my penis. I sort of avoid the subject because I feel awkward about it. He knows the birds and the bees and asks me plenty of questions about sex and I know thats healthy so I dont want to scare him off, I just dont know what to do.

Has any other fathers been asked this? Is this like a normal occurrence? What should I do?

    How old is he? I wanted to touch/see my dad's when I was in my early teens but was way to shy to ask. If he is asking....I'd show him

    I know some people may disagree with this, but your child is NOT weird and there's nothing wrong with you being naked around him. The same happened to me and I can assure you it's just a phase, so don't worry too much.

    Stop the nudity thing. It seems weird to do that and is not acceptable in most cultures.

    I agree with most posters here, How old is he?, is he like 7 or so then is totlly normal for him to be curious My best bet is he's comparing himself to you. Tell him is ok to be nude and to touch our own but not others. You explained to him about "the birds and the bees", I think that should have included the "good toych bad touch" chat as well. If that dosen't work then put some clothes on and stop being nude around him. You can pounish him by making him wear clothes you will notice he will stop the bad behavior over being able to run naked and free again.

    Why are you walking around naked and expecting your penis to not interest your son? Children are interested in their own watsits and if yours is dangling in front of him, he'll be intrigued. Please put your clothes on. I am assuming he's like 6 or 7?
