I need answers!

I have a now 6 year old son. He has been getting an erection since about 5 years old when watching certain things. One is me and his dad giving a hug n kiss when he gets home from work, ect. I was recently watching the singer Pink "Try" video and he couldnt even watch it because he said it was "making his body go up". The video is just of her dancing. Its came to the point where i was kind of worried and asked him numerous times if anyone had touched his privates or anything and he always has the same answer...which is no...with a your crazy mom look on his face. I just want to know if this happens to anyone else. Please help...should i be worried??

My son hasn't hit this stage yet, but from all I have read and heard, I think RR is very very right.  I can remember my friends 5 year old walking out of his bedroom naked, pointing and saying to all of us in the room "look, I have a boner" and thinking it was the funniest thing ever!  My friend turned 20 shades of red and calmly walked him back to his room to get redressed.  She told me afterward that she had a quiet conversation with him about what is appropriate in public and whats not..lol.  He learned that certain things are not for public.  It was pretty funny though.

He agrees.....its kinda just shoking to both of us. I found it humurous at first cuz it was so shocking! Still is....maybe cuz hes just growing up so fast on me! Glad im not the only one with this problem! Thank you very much!

I raised three sons,  and he is normal.  ;D

Boys are sexual.  In an innocent way.  I remember a friend of my son's,  he was about 4 years old,  and he said "Jessica Rabbit's voice makes my penis get long".  

You may not know who Jessica Rabbit is,  but she's a sexualized cartoon character.  

Another child said,  at the age of 5, about a teenage girl,    "She's so pretty I just want to lay down on top of her".  

Boys know what sex is,  from VERY early on.  Does your husband not agree?
