Q: My sons 8 & 6 always complain that they have an erectile penis and they feel uncomfortable. I always tell them that its o.k & if you touch them there will be sickness. Tell me how should I cope up with this type of questions?
A:Erection does cause a little distress to young boys. Explain to them that it is normal, but DO NOT say that by touching it there will lead to sickness.
