I have a 5 year old interested in female anatomy?

Question

My child is so forward with females he asks can he see them naked. Is this normal?

Answer 1

It's normal for a child that age or even a little younger to wonder about the opposite sex...it's just natural curiosity.....but you should try to let him know that if he has any questions about females, or the female body he should ask you. Talking to him about it and even finding a book about the differences in males and females (that is appropriate for his age of course) may dull the curiosity and keep him from putting you in embarrassing situations.

Answer 2

I remember when I was a 7 year old boy, I played "I'll show you what I got if you show me what you got." She said "Okay, you go first" I dropped my drawers and stood there with it hanging out (as much as that was possible for my age). Then when I insisted that she keep her end of the bargain, she, in a wink of an eye, pulled her shorts down and back up before I could even see what she had.

I don't think it was sexual as much as it was a natural curiosity. I never out-grew that curiosity and always liked to see nudity, but as I learned about sexuality, that fascination turned sexual (age 11).

I would guess it's normal and harmless but I am curious, does your 5 year old ask grown women if he can see them naked? If so, wow. I would just work with him on what is appropriate and what is not, and everything should be okay.

Been there. Start slow. You should start drinking protein shakes they will help you gain muscle. Start with just a few weights. You can usually change the resistance on those machines too. Don't get discouraged. It takes time to repair. It's like a broken leg. It'll take half a second to break, but half a year to heal.

Answer 4

My son would ask that if he was older too. He's 2.5 and he tries to fondle any chick with a tank top on. He's a little perv. I guess it's normal, I'm not worried as long as it stops eventually before it's offensive. Maybe I would worry around 7-8 yrs old.

Answer 5

Yes. I would get a book that shows the female body as a learning book. One that labels the body of both a man and woman. I would let his teacher know if you choose to. This might calm his interest and will educate him at the same time. Maybe he will find it boring and think of something new to talk about. Library and book stores will have these type of books.

Answer 6

My son is five also and he likes butts snd chest. he does not like skinney girls (no offence) but anyway I was told it was normal but to teach him about good touches and bad touches nice words and potty words side note I laugh at it sometimes but this is the same little boy that if I dont teach him right will end up grabbing some little girls rear end

Answer 7

Most little kids try to cop a feel. They don't usually ask for a show. I would be concerned enough to ask him who he hears talk like that to or about women. I think he might have an adult or little friend that talks like that. Then I would tell him that kind of talk is inappropriate for him or anyone.

Answer 8

No, it is not normal. It is possible that your child has been molested... 5 year old's are not typically interested about such things unless they have been exposed to some sexual touching.

Answer 9

Yes. Remember children come into the world not knowing or understanding anything. They have to be curious. You have to teach him what's appropriate and inappropriate, and open yourself to any questions that he might have to prevent him from going to others

Answer 10

I would say that it is normal. He is curious and is just looking for answers.
Provide him with answers and try not to make him feel bad about asking questions. Talk with him about being forward and what is appropiate to talk about to adults.
