If it was in his own room he is coming up to an age where it would be good to knock on his door , it is a very good thing he is open to talking about it , its all normal and should be treated as that, there are books out there and the internet has sites on child sexuality,play it cool , hes getting to the age where there will be more of this most is curiosity at 9 kind of figuring it out .. .
