ABSOLUTELY.
In fact a very disquieting anthropological phenomena which
cultural Sociologists found was... pragmatically it has been observed
that among certain native Afrikkans tribes, mothers pragmatically
quiet fussy male babies genitals orally!
And its not just male children whom engage in physical tactile self-pleasuring.
I personally have witnessed 2-7 yr old females grinding their Vulva's clitoris
on furniture and stuffed animals and humping pillows.

I recall my own first conscious erection at age five, after happily sliding around
nude within a satin-covered comforter.
I delighted in the sensation of a kind of nervous sensitivity as I grew tumescent.
In the subsequent year at a neighborhood 4th of July celebration,
I stood entranced at 6 years old
when a young Chanteuse sultrily sung "Around the World in Eighty Days'
dressed EXACTLY like 'Jessica Rabbit' in a sequined strapless gown with
copious cleavage and a clearly 'inspirational' thigh-high side slit. Yes,
I got 'wood'! ... I had no idea what to DO with it, but I'd have been happy
to have learned!

Since then, twice in my lifetime in my 30's, I've been innocently 'propositioned'
once by a 5yr old girl and another occasion by a 7 yr old girl... in
the presence of BOTH the girl's mothers AND my Wife!

They candidly were squirmingly grinding in my lap and
asked their parent if I could 'nap' with them.

When their mothers obviously denied their request,
they next asked if I could 'nap' with their mothers!
One even attempted to show my spouse out their home's door
while having me remain!

NEVER doubt, that little girls mentally 'mature'
FAR earlier than little boys! ~

Yes when I was younger and even to this day that happens to me I even remember having these two babysitters it would make you feel something and I couldn't help touching myself and now thinking back at it there was one of the girls I think she'd caught me many times because for some reason every time that that would happen you would want to wrestle with me and she was stronger than me so she would roll me over on top of her or she would get on top of me I think one time when she babysitting me we had this like little kids pool if you bring over a bathing suit and we would swim around together and stuff and then she would want to wrestle inside the water inside the pool and then when we got out she's going to do the same thing but I know one time when we are out of the water she paid me and then she set up on me and I could swear my shorts went up and my dick was sticking out because when she sat on me I could just see a different look in her eyes I don't really know if she was doing anything with you always move her hips really fast on me and I would always have a hard on and I know you trying to fight her to get her off me cuz I didn't want her to feel it

Yeah. They're just exploring and learning about their bodies. Girls do the same, minus the erections part 🤔

Very very normal. Means they parts are in working order. My boys get lots of erections too.

It is normal, don't worry about it.

SnakeBoop · Answer

You need q quick talk with the parents so they can explain to the kids to stop touching their genitals while you're in the house.

But erections happen basically from birth (just before they tend to pee) so normal.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

Yeah they can actually have them in the womb.

Boys are literally born horny (j/k) but can get erections all the time.

we also view then as great pointing sticks when wandering around naked at a young age.

I think it can be a sort of deciding factor in when boys start wearing swimming trunks, shorts etc when in house or at beach etc.

I am pretty sure I was told off for showing babysitter my erections.

For most of our early life, they just have a life of their own, and then in later life they do most of our thinking.

It is normal.

summiter · Answer

How old are they? At any rate it is very normal. Once they reach puberty they will get boners many times a day, sometimes for no reasons. 99% of young guys will masturbate frequently ( but they will never admit it) to help ease things.

Yes, totally normal. It's not necessarily sexual.

Pitching a tent is completely normal especially around a fox.

Leavesbound · Answer

Yes, toddlers as young as 18 months have been known to get erections and touch themselves. I suggest ignoring it unless they do it in front of people then a gentle redirection of activities is in order.

Once a male discovers his penis he never wants to stop playing with it EVER and yes even newborns get erections and they even produce seminal fluid but rarely do they have orgasms that's a few SHORT years away yet.

Sarahr123 · Answer

Sometimes it is random and nothing to do with sexual arousal or attraction

LiamSawyer · Answer

It perfectly normal for young boys to get elections, even male babies. My earliest recollection of getting elections was when I was around two or three, I accidentally discovered masturbation when I was five, not that I knew what I was doing but I knew it sure felt good. From five on I would masturbate every night and I always achieved an orgasm but without ejaculation. I didn't start ejaculating until I was around 12 or 13. Depending on how old these boys are you babysit it may be your attractive and sexy appearance that's giving them erections although they are probably innocent in regards to it.
