It’s instinctual in that all babies explore their genitals as soon as they can start willfully moving their hands, yes. It’s not just boys having a special connection to their genitalia.
If you don’t think the same of a vulva, then you’re only outing yourself as having incredibly little imagination/experience with them. CIA couldn’t have gotten that out of me, honestly.
It’s a hard one to fight your own overly-conservative programming in order to teach a healthier outlook to your kids. Hard to know if you’re going too far one way or the other. So much of parenting you just don’t know if you’re doing it right until you’re done.
Fist-bump from one internet parent to another, you’re doing a great job ✌️
9‽
I don’t have a penis, but I for one was a total idiot at age 9.
Not having a penis: the perfect counter to the fidgit spinner trap
I’m much older than 9 and stuff gets stuck on my penis all the time.
I dont think 15yo penises fit into fidget spinners, but Im not an expert on child genitalia.
I’ll ask my priest.
Boys start playing with their weiners as soon as their hands can start grasping stuff. It’s instinctual.

tbf a dick is way more fun to literally play with, like they’re so inherently comedic that all cultures agree that drawing a dick is funny

My wife texted me the other day:
You know that yellow slide our son carries around? Well, he started sticking his penis in it, you have to talk to him now.
He’s 4. It’s just what boys do.
Not just boys. Girls explore and test boundaries with their genitals too.
Have a daughter also, so I know it all too well! Our focus is “It’s normal but private.” We will see how that goes.
That’s gonna be our approach, too with our kiddo.

Electric toothbrushes….
Never used one of those, but showerheads and bath faucets certainly
I wonder how my life would have changed if i had access to the internet at age 9
I was jerking off around that age, hadn’t ever seen any porn or anything, no need to call child protection, it was just natural for me
