SUBJECT: My 7 y.o. son masterbates
I tried this message before on the preteen message board, but I think 7 years old is a little young to be concidered a preteen.

I am a 24 year old single father of a great 7 year old son. (long story) Anyway, I can remember always being a pretty horney child. Well, my son has taken after me. He explored his body when he was about 4 or 5 & found out that it feels good when he rubs his penis. He doesn't do it compulsively or anything, only at night. I explained to him that it was okay to do it in private, but that he shouldn't do it around other people. Well, he sleeps with me at night, and most nights he fondles himself. He doesn't make a big deal about it or anything. He just usually plays with it a little until it gets hard. I don't encourage him to do it or stop, I just let him do his thing & kind of stay out of it. He sometimes gets into it more than others. Several nights ago he really got into it. I'm sure he did it for like 2 or 3 minutes. He acted like he really was masterbating. I hope no one thinks I am a wierdo or anthing because my son sleeps with me & he masterbates while I am in bed with him. I have a huge bed & I just give him his space because I have heard that it will make a child be self concious if you get onto them about masterbating.

Anyway, my question is. Can a child that young have an orgasm? If so how long has he been able to do this? The reason I ask is because if he can have one now, he may have one soon & want to be prepared to talk to him about it when it happens. Someone please answer my questions. I really need help here.
