Strange question from a 6 year old

My boyfriend's 6 year old asked me if I wanted to poop on him.  When I said "no, that would be gross," he asked if I wanted to pee on him - again I said "no."  We spend the weekends together and generally have a good time together, but I don't know whether or not I should be worried about these questions.  I don't have kids and don't know what to think.


This discussion is related to 8 yr. old son has strange sexual questions and ideas.

That's an odd thing for anyone to ask. Usually it's grown men who ask to be pooped and urinated on. Did you really get asked this question or is something else going on in your mind/life perhaps? You need to ask yourself if you have repressed issues relating to bowel evacuation. If you were given enemas at any stage of your life, it's possible your objection to them is what is really coming to the surface here. If you have healthy bowel movements, that's a good sign. I can suggest keeping a bowel evacuation diary including writing down how you feel after each bowel event, as it's entirely possible that you have a repressed, deep rooted psychological problem with your own bowel habits actually. Good luck.

Well, as Joy may be right, I think the way to go about it is ASK him where he got such ideas.. That should answer that question lol I guess it is possible. little boys can be gross sometimes, however, I've seen some odd fetish stuff and if he's seen something like THAT at age 6, it could be a real problem. Find the source before you can find a solution. But I'd think by age 6 he'd be out of that "potty stage" with the interest in that stuff, see Joy, I am a big fan of psychology and Aurhen's age is right along with Freud's anal/phallic stage, so it's more normal to me. But hey! I'm no expert lol

Good luck.

Before you jump the gun and think he was exposed to anything, think about the facts...
He is a boy. i know this, to some, will make sense. to others, they will think i am nuts. if he simply asked you to "poop on him" or "pee on him", these dont sound completely sexual to me. maybe he is just being gross. lol. i know my 3 year old will try to play with his poop, or put it on things. He will even try to go in the bathroom with me so he can see "mommy's potty" (i know tmi). Did he say this to you in an odd tone, or was it a kind of 'playful' tone? i would not worry TOO much about this, yet. i would watch him and see if he has any other odd behaviors before you insist he has bee exposed to anything inappropriate materials. Again, he may just be being a gross boy. i have learned, they really are born that way. lol. good luck

Sounds to me like he has had some inappropriate exposure to some pornographic material. Some people like hardcore fetishes such as the aforementioned, and he has either heard about it from someone who has been exposed to such smut or has witnessed it himself. He is probably curious as to why people would do such a thing and I'd say some therapy may be in order for this child to not develop certain deviances and/or fetishes of his own. I would talk with your boyfriend about it and seek this kid some help and also find the source and make sure he is not exposed to it again. (boyfriends ex-wife or what-not may have un-monitored access to such websites or stuff stored on the computer that he can easily access, or perhaps he is hanging around with other kids he should not be around) These are NOT normal curiosities of a child who has not been exposed to something so vile and graphic.

They are certainly not the kind of questions a child would ask, so speak to your Boyfriend and get his input why his son would say such a thing., did you not ask him why he would ask you that and also who if anyone has done that to him, perhaps some porn left around, check it out with your boyfriend.
