Punishment for masturbation?

I caught my son masturbating, he's 8, what is an appropriate punishment?

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

The punishment? None.
He's at the age were children are exploring ther bodies, it's completely normal for his age.
************ is a healthy practice, there is no way it could cause him any harm, he doesn't need any punishing; he hasn't done anything wrong. :)

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

I think i was like... 6 when i started :P

EDIT: Ofcourse i'm a godless psychopath! *scary voice*

Really? I was 5. :D
Nah, I was 11 when I started. :)

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

What i meant was, that it's perfectly normal. There is no "right" age for that sorta thing. Give him a few years and he will start to bring girls home.

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Yeah, I know what you mean.
A lot of people punish their children for masturbating, I don't see why, it's a completely healthy, normal thing to do.

My next door neighbour when I was young tried to tell me I'd get an STD, it terrified me. Untill I realised an STD was a sexually transmitted disease. :D

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

To mom, you should have *the* talk with your son early on. Forget the fairytails and bees and other assorted junk. Just be honest about sexuality, tell him about STD's and safe sex. Do not leave it to the school because no kid takes it seriously in there.

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Masturbation is as normal as breathing. Further, it's physiologically necessary for a non sexually active male. Rather than punishing your son, please take this time to teach him about sex and appropriate places to relieve himself. There is no possible way you can keep him from masturbating.

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Thank you everyone for your responses. So it's normal for a child of that age? And there are no health risks?

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Yes, it's completely normal for a child that age.

Health risks? None whatsoever. In fact, it's good for both phsyical and mental health. It's good for the heart as It lowers blood pressure and it releases (for empaths) oxytocin, a chemical that helps you relax. :)

Yes it's perfectly normal and no, there are no health risks. Just talk to him about it and let him know that it's normal. Kids get all sorts of crazy ideas in their heads if parents don't explain things to them as they are.

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Well he played with his penis and it felt good. Let him know thats something frowned upon in public and must be done in the confines of that bathroom, shower or his bedroom. Also you need to buy him some baby wipes.

When he gets older teach him to masterbate into condoms. That way he'll get good at putting condoms on and probably won't get a girl pregnant because of his excellent masterbation experience. This paragraph was a joke. 

For an 8 year old? :P

Use the search box above to check out the doc's website for anything on masturbation. You really need to get your head straight on this.

Not funny, not funny at all. She is a honestly concerned mother who is looking for advice on a serious question about her son. There is no need to be rude.

Re: Punishment for masturbation?

Why would you even think of punishing your son for that? It's his private business, not yours.
