Is it normal that my five year old son gets aroused?

My son just told me do not put it on UFC fighting because when he saw the man putting his head by the other man's underwear he felt like masturbating but he knows its bad so change the channel. My husband is really upset and thinks it is a serious problem. Please help give me links with info or something.

    He's a kid . Accept him for whoever he is. Lack of acceptance on the parents part will cause problems and need for accpetance when he gets older. I think its totally normal

    Grammar Nazi highly disapproves of this post. Hard to believe this when you talk like your 9.

  • How does your five year old son even know the word masturbating? And also, how does he even know what that is?

    That's what you should be asking yourself.

      • Well... maybe your son might end up being gay but I wouldn't make him believe it's bad but tell him that squeezing is not what little kids do and not in public and that he needs to be older. Best thing is to not make him feel bad at all.

          i definitely agree, and please don't try to "change" him back to being straight, it will cause psychological damage. It might just be a phase, i don't know since i don't have personal experience cuz he's only 5,

          as a side note, its soooo cute for him to say that, its like those little kids who act all adult about things. xD

          • Thanks, that's what I meant because if he's made to feel bad, he'll try and hide away and just cause himself pain. Especially since he's so young as well and kids are quite delicate things.

            I think of it as curiosity control XD
