My nephew's loving odd behavior..
My nephew is as I like to say "ready to take on the world, aggressive and outgoing" He is 19mnths old, puts together wooden puxxles, speaks in two letter word senteces and knows "what he thinks he wants" All around he is the most advanced baby, I have ever know in my 39 yrs.
My question is this...
I have a teddy bear that is almost as big as he is. he loves this teddy bear. He will roll around on the ground with it. turning on h is back and on his belly. Wrestles and at the same time, gives the teddy bear hugs and kisses. Well, during this same experience I noticed a dog like behavior. He was grabbing and hugging at the same time it appeared to be "humping" the bear???
I know my nephew is not around strangers or no one that could hurt him. We are a very close family.
My concern is that I have been told that this has had to been a learned process?
My thought is that it just feels good to him and he likes the bear! If we take the bear from him, he does get upset. yet, he does that with whatever else we take that we do not want him to have.
Please, tell me what you think?

I completely agree with the two above.
He knows what he wants to do. And honestly, I've seen this in boys like you describe your nephew, aggressive and outgoing.
One of my friends used to pull her son up at that age, put him in his room and say under her breath to all of us "he needs a girlfriend". In jest.
This boy knows what his genitals are for, his brain has told him. As soon as it can be made clear to him that this is unacceptable behavior in public, the better.
Otherwise, all is good. ;D

Some boys do discover sensation. I'd say to ignore it and as he gets older, an in your room rule only is best. The big animal could also just "disappear" if it is a "distraction" him and causing embarressment on the parents part. good luck
It only human for him to notice he has a male sex organ
and know what stimulates it.
Most little boys go through this phase.
Being hes so attached to the bear taking it away would be very bad
but you can also just tell him no when he does that.
It seems like the bear has become his security blanket
and know what stimulates it.
