It's in the genes.
Watch him carefully when he goes through puberty. |

My 9-month old does the same thing...sometimes even (gasp!) to my breast. I wonder what it all means?!!

| My son is 5 years old and just touched my breast the other day and asked "What is this?" It gave me a good laugh and a preview of what is coming. Maybe your son hadn't seen your legs all winter b/c you have been wearing pants? |

Probably best to nib this in the bud, and certainly before you end up being the Jocasta in this scenario.
I would threat to cut his nuts off and wear them as earrings if he ever so much as looks at you in an inappropriate manner again. |

You're messing around, right? Sarcasm doesn't always come across in print (I've learned that the hard way). |

I would have thought that second sentence was enough to show that poster wasn't being serious. |

I think your son is just curious. And I think it might be a moment where you can teach him what kind of touch is appropriate with family or girls in general. Hugs for mom - yes. Holding hands - yes. Caresses on the leg - no. Breasts - no, those are for babies. That kind of thing.

I don't mean to be too obnoxious, but perhaps he's fascinated by the feel of your legs because it changes day to day?
stubble, no stubble. stubble again. |

| Maybe he thinks your legs look funny or weird. He's six not sixteen, so any uncomfortableness is, I would assume, is your issue. Because it sounds like you are putting a sexual bent on his stares and if that is the case, then that is really messed up on your end. |

| Can you please explain what about it makes you uncomfortable? |

Agreed, although it doesn't have to be that harsh a characterization. Six year old kids don't think sexually the way we do, unless they've been abused. |
