When Your Kid Draws Wood
Posted on 09 25, 2006 under The Manual by Noodad |
The
following is a Public Service Announcement to all you noodads who have
sons. Your baby or toddler could be pitching tents in their little
diapers. It's true. But you have nothing to worry about.
If you are like me, you thought that you didn't experience stiffness
until that time when you were 11 and you saw the commercial for the
designer impostor fragrances commercial on TV. You know the one — where
all you see is beautiful female legs being sprayed down by
ozone-killing aerosol cans. Now you know that you may have been
sporting wood since you were a wee little lad.
It is perfectly normal for your toddler son to have erections. This is
normally triggered by breast feeding, diaper changes, and baths. My
little Ron Jeremy tends to have a case of morning wood. Boys will be
boys, right?
Before you start worrying that your boy is sex-crazed, remember:
sometimes just a brush with bodily contact or a random thought can
trigger an erection. As much as I think my boy may be fantasizing over
DeeDee from the Doodlebops,
I remember my own uncomfortable situations in junior high when the bell
would ring and I would have to walk to my next class with my books in
front of my crotch. It was barely sexual in junior high and it isn't
even close as a toddler.
It will be a long time before your little He-Man
holds aloft his mighty sword and says, "By the power of Greyskull, I
have the power!" So just tuck his little boy back into the diaper and
don't draw attention to it.
There. I said it. Good luck noodads.

And I thought my wife was nuts! I came home from work and she said that our 2 week old had a woodie and I cried from laughing so hard. She didn\’t think it was funny though. So now I can go home tonight and tell her \”I was wrong.\” She loves hearing that more than \”I love you.\”

Yes, it\’s common, and has nothing to do with sexuality as a young baby.
And thanks for pointing out that things aren\’t sexual when you\’re a child. When I was maybe six, I got interested in my baby brother\’s doodads, and I distinctly recall touching the \”sack,\” feeling the little harder bean-shaped things inside. I mentioned this to my brother one day (now that we\’re both adults) and now his wife thinks I\’m a pervert (the type who likes little boys).
I was six!! Kids that young don\’t think about sex. Geez. Thanks for keeping some perspective, Noodad.
