erection at the age of 8

Hi,

My son is 8 years old and I have seen him getting erected sometimes. Is this normal for all boys?? When does the erection time starts?? at what age??

Thanks,
Haven

lol i had them at the age of 6 at skool, never new what they were, just happened, nuthing to do with girls or anything, lol just when ur excited i'm sure its nuthing lots of pple my age were kinda expermenting.

Erections are normal in babies as well as toddlers and pre teens, most boys will get erection from an early age, this is very common if they need to pee, but also is natural in all boys who do not need to pee. As bad as it may sound, a child of any age who touches himself WILL get an erection. Do not over react to it, and infact ignore it as much as possible unless it is in company, in which case take him to one side alone and explain, that nothing is wrong with what is happening, but that he must move to his own space if it shows too much...it is totally natural but for many parents it is uncomfortable to see.

Its normal and healthy, when i was 8 i had an erection nearly every day, it happens to us males, don't tell him off, just tell him that he can have one in private usually at bedtime
