I think I have just mentally scarred my son
I went upstairs and checked in on him (as you do).

He had a coy of FHM in his bed and was quite happily looking at a partially clad Pamela Anderson. He's six.

He was mortified that he had been caught out, leering at the ladies. He was possibly more excruciatingly embarassed when I didn't shout, but sat down on his bed and explained that it was perfectly normal to be curious (a la Eugene Levy in American Pie)

Six is a bit young though isn't it?

Can I have some male opinions please?

probably not a sexual thing, just curiosity

I'm worried that
he thought it was something he should be ashamed of.

well fhm is as good as porn to kids
and you'd never want a parent walking in while your looking at porn

NO
As soon as kids become ashamed of a natural act that sex is, then it can become a problem. He will be fine. He is obviously curious. but that is a good thing

Just as long as he doesnt get as curious as you




You filthy fuck

I think it's normal
I used to look at underwear catalogues when I was little, and it didn't do me any harm

not mine
I went to stay with my grandad when I was abour 6, and he had the "illustrated dictionary of sex" in the room I slept in. I opened it up to a page on genital piercing. Bastard.

Nope
Bring it on.

I remember me and childhood friend Jason looking at his Dad's porn collection at around 8-10 years old (very subtly hid at the bottom of the wash basket)
It was great, and I knew the female anatomy WAY too well by the time I ever even spoke to a girl.

Maybe goes some way to the fact that I'm such a perv now.

good
I don't want him thinking it is something 'dirty'.

The women in work were shocked when I said 'the only thing you have to worry about with boys is when to leave the strategic box of tissues in their bedroom'

My explanation?

'Well I have to wash his socks'

Be prepared when he is older to find the elusive
wank sock
