I have had several "talks"including about masterbation. But recentlly my husband and I have strong concerns that he is doing it often. I personally think that he is to young to be doing it so often. I just don't know how to or what the most effective approach is. Please help !!!

  1. I think the best thing to do is to talk to your pediatrician about it. Good luck to you!


  2. All i can say is dont let him know you are worried

  3. I would not make a huge issue of it. The more noise and issue you make, and the more you tell him NOT to do it - the more he will do it - to find out WHY you dont want him to do it.

    Wet dreams are normal. You cannot stop the hormones, and his friends will be telling him their experiences. It is a perfectly natural human activity.

    If you are afraid he might be g*y - well you cannot do anything to change that. Being g*y is a biological occurrence, and the more you seek to repress it, the more you will drive him underground.

  4. LISTEN, IM A GUY....we all do it when were that age, and we all do it ALOT at that age.We do it MORE at that age than any time in life, DO NOT make a big deal out of it, try to ignore it because masterbation is not somthing you want to get involved with as a parent(It will make your son feel VERY awkward around you), just no it is completely natural and serves an important biological purpose.There is NOTHING unhealthy about it, not even if done frequently.Any doctor will tell you the same.

    Hope this helps ; )

  5. Just let him be.

    He discovered something, it feels good..he is going to do it.

    If he is locking himself in his room for hours every single day to do it...there might be an issue.

  6. NO! Leave him alone. He is going to explore his thing no matter what you do. Making it uncomfortable is going to make him upset and embarrassed. I wouldn't go buying him magazines, but simply ignore that you think he's doing it. Just go about your business as usual. Its not a big deal anyway. And as long as he isn't using sandpaper as lube... there are no health risks. FYI: There is no age where he is really too young, the body does what it does at whatever age it does.

    Just leave him be.

  7. All 12 year olds do it "way to often" its healthy and normal.  Dont let him know you know though, that can cause embarrasment and problems in the future when it comes to his s*x life.  What ever you do, do not approach your son about it... your husband should already know that.  If you are really concerend ask his doctor.

  8. Leave the kid alone! Hormones are rushing around his body it is  perfectly normal for him to be doing this. If you say anything you could give him a huge complex about his body and s*x. Please leave him alone

  9. Why would you find out about that?

    Do you know how embarrassed the poor kid will be once he knows that you know?

  10. This might be his business, I think it's normal for all

    humans and one point or another.

  11. you're kids growing up get over it , excuse me but what is the right amount for you?
