7 year old touching penis all the time

Anonymous
Have talked to him about it...and he says that it "goes to the right" and he thinks it's more comfortable the other way so he keeps moving it over. I'm a single mom..have to admit I have no idea if this is nuts or a common male concern. If it is common, seems to me there's nothing much to do about it except get used to it. Tried to tell him that...

Any advice?

Keep laughing. It's okay. There are boys at my kids' school who hold onto theirs like a security blanket.

Maybe you could try different underwear. But really, it's probably just his preoccupation with it. This too shall pass.

Sometime soon, peer pressure will stop it. Is he doing it in public or just at home? If it the latter, do not worry. It will start again in his teens, but he will be private about it.

OP: He does it in public too. I've talked to him about only doing it at home....

If it's just to "adjust" then don't worry about it, tho he should still be doing it where he won't be seen even if that just means facing a wall.

I've got two boys (9 and 6) and a DH. This seems to be very common and very normal. We, too, have talked about them not doing any of this in public and, in fact, not doing it in front of us. The older one says "but it feels so good", the younger one says "I like it when it's giant". (sigh) At least my DH doesn't do this - at least not in front of anyone.

Tell me, when does this preoccupation with their penises pass? Middle School? Middle Age? When they're in the middle of their coffin?

I agree that they stop touching it in public, but thinking about it? When does that stop?

I work at a va hospital and most of the men sleep holding on to it. So probably never?
