    Sexual behavior in a 5 year old
    Yesterday my 5 year old had a play date over, a boy same age as my son, they were playing in his play room. I noticed that it became quiet. Immediately I went to check on the boys. When I came around the corner I heard my son say "lets pretend were having sex". I walked into the room and saw my son straddling the other child both were naked from the waist down. I immediately separated them . Is this something I need to be concerned about or is this normal behavior for kids that age

    How would a boy that young know what sex is? Does he watch a lot of evening TV?

    Yes he is exposed to normal evening TV, I guess I never thought anything of it until this happened

    Most evening TV is so porn filled that there is no wonder 12 year olds are having sex more and more often.

    Perhaps a talk that sex is for mommies and daddies after they are married at 5 would be a good talk, I never like anyone teaching sex is bad, that can cause heaven knows how many issues latter, but teaching the proper time and place for adult behavior

    Trouble is, on TV it's not just mommies and daddies having sex, plus bad language is said even by kids. I would definitely stop the evening TV watching and do something constructive with him each evening.
