2 little boys

I just found my two boys 8 year old and 6 year old kising each others pennis.  I am very confused and upset.  I think I scared my children.  What do I do? Please give me some answers.

Hi, it is appropriate to investigate why a child is doing such things and it does at times come out of initially being molested.  We must be careful not to sexualize our children at a young age.  If they stumble upon masturbation, allowing them ONLY to do that in their room as a private activity is appropriate and activity with any other children should be forbidden.

try not to be too hard they are young and dont understand everything we adults do. Sit them down one at a time an talk about what they did wrong an tell them not to do that again, ask them if they why they did what they did and explain it too them that its not ok to do that. If ur too hard on ur kids it will scear them an thats what u do not want to do. Its important not to freak out what they say or if this happens again

I know this comment come a long time after your post but hope it helps.

I agree with Liquid444 for the most part.

Remember that brothers have a level of trust and understanding that will not often be found with other friends. Exploring the human body is totally natural and if anything very healthy. By doing so with each other that ARE respecting their bodies and allowing their knowledge of their own and others bodies to grow.

I did stuff like this with my brother and my uncle found out. He told us not to be we did anyway. We're brothers! My older brother taught me how to masterbate and i taught my younger brother.

My younger brother and i shared a room so we'd often masterbate at the same time. Watching each other or touching each other wasn't a sexual thing but a curious exploration of the human body.

I can understand why that kissing each others penis is an issue but remember their not doing it for 'sexual' interest as unless they have been taught about oral sex it's just a curiosity thing. I def agree with Liquid444 here, tell them it's ok to masterbate, to talk to each other about it and even show each other how they do it but that what they have done is going a little too far.

PS - remember that they will remember this when their older so try and be 'cool' about it if it ever get brought up again. They may not be embarassed now but as they grow and learn more about oral sex etc it may become embarassing to them; not what they did, but that their mother nows.

You should explain to your boys that what they did was not bad but not right. It is normal for boys to experiment and sometimes instead of doing with someone who might tell, they do it with siblings. I don't know what feelings they get from kissing their penises, but touching is a different story. It feels good to touch. They are either experimenting or exploring. But they shouldn't do it. It isn't right. They should respect each others bodies. Teach them that. It is ok for them to masterbate, but in private. Don't be too upset or angry,  act normal while correcting them.
