I agree with the PP who think thinks this a fake post.
It's not the arousal part that seems fake. It's the connection of arousal to thoughts of love. I doubt a 7 yr old would make that statement. |
Op here. Thanks for the feedback. I am going to call the pediatrician Monday to discuss and ask his advice as well. My husband is still horrified.
P.s. I am so amused that people think this is a fake post. |
OP, alright, I get that this is troubling to you and your husband but... what's the "horrified" part about?
That seems like an extreme reaction to me. |
PP again. When my son was in first grade, he asked me "Mom, how come, when I think about something hilarious, my penis goes up?"
I asked him what he meant, and he said, "Like, if I think about someone being naked, like their pants fell down. I get a weird feeling in my penis, and it goes up. Why??" This is totally normal stuff that happens to kids. And if you have raised them well, they don't think there is anything to be ashamed about their body parts, so they feel comfortable talking about it... with friends.... with parents. When I was a kid (in the 70s) I woudl have died of shame to talk about "down there" with my mom... NEVER with dad, and I doubt I mentioned anything to my friends either until maybe 6th grade. Are you concerned because your daughter is having these feelings? Do you think it means someone is doing something inappropriate to her? |
Ok, fake post.
little girls vagina throbs, little girl peeing on the side of the road, boy sucks another boys wee-wee. This site is getting worse and worse. Too disturbing. |
Op here. Used the wrong word - he's in shock. |
Just for the record, there is nothing to indicate that this post is fake. The post about the little girl peeing on the side of the road is from a repeat poster who is clearly a pervert. There was nothing to indicate the third post that you reference was fake. If people believe that threads are not truthful, I wish that they would simply move on to another thread. If you seriously believe that the thread has been posted by a pervert, then -- by all means -- report the thread. But, the continual disruption of threads by claims that the original poster is a troll is getting ridiculous. |
Same difference. Why? What is so shocking ? |
I reported this and will continue to report things that seem "off" to me. I guess you can see the poster and cross-ref with other posts he / she has made in the past and make our own determination as to whether or not they appear to be trolling. But this post, and a few others in the past, seem to be posts that either say something just a little bit off or they encourage others to do the same, then we get into the situation where parents (or whoever) are posting stories about kids masturbating, etc. It seems prurient to me, and I am FAR from a prude, but it's making my creep sensors go off. I'll continue to report what I think seems gross, and appreciate that you have more info and the ultimate say. Sorry if it's ridiculous Jeff - think you do a great job on this website but don't agree here. |
OP,
Why are you and your husband FREAKING over this? |
Yes, what is so shocking? Children have both romantic and sexual feelings. Both are normal. They don't act on their sexual feelings the way adults do. Of course not. But the notion that children have romantic and sexual feelings is shocking to you? Please read a parenting book. Now. |
You misunderstood. I want you to report posts that you think might not be real. I just don't want people derailing threads by posting responses in the thread itself saying the OP is a troll. I appreciate your making the effort to report the post. |
OP here. I guess to hear those words come out of my little girl is shocking. She is my baby! Plus I didn't think a girl that age would be associating sexual feelings with thoughts. Do you have kids that age? I ask because I think when my children were babies I would have been giving the feedback of "what's the big deal?" but having experienced it it is different! |
OP I can understand your shock. But I think her behavior is
normal. I have an 8 yo son, and it took me a while to come to terms with him thinking sexually -- other than the obvious use of hands, which he's been doing since he was able to grasp at 3 months or so lol. It really is a normal part of their life. My son is starting to talk about girls, marriage, asking questions about kissing etc. I can tell there are some romantic/sexual feelings behind his questions. I got him the book "It's so amazing" and I've tried to be as open and honest as possible. |
