Today, I was teasing my 6-year-old sister about having a boyfriend. I asked her, "Did he take his shirt off?" She promptly said no. A few minutes later, she said, "But he did take his pants off." I then asked why. She said, "To show me his penis." FML

I don't think he meant to do it in a sexual manner... their young children... it's curiosity..

I didn't even know boys had different part than me when I was 6. Wow.

Im really surprised at all the people who never experimented with other kids or peeked at the opposite sex as young children. My mother had all female children (6) but she used to babysit little boys, when they were learning to be potty trained I was amazed that they could urinate standing up so I asked them to show me their privates and they did, and for a little while I thought Id lost my penis lol. Kids don't think sexually they are curious about differences between the genders, as long as no adult is influencing the behavior I don't see any harm done. Id just tell the kid about the reasons for clothing and why we don't let other people see our PRIVATE parts and that they shouldn't let anyone touch their private parts, and move on. Kids are not loosing their innocence, and this speaks nothing to society as a whole. Kids have always been removing clothing in front of each other since the dawn of time regardless of the moral integrity of the society they are brought up in.

See, this girl knows what's up. Children are just curious.

Curiosity maybe? But then again, society has become overly sexual.. I mean just listen to the lyrics of songs these days. Despicable.

This is absolutely harmless. Children at that age are just curious and like to secretly do things they're not supposed to. They don't even know what sex is so you can't blame them at all.

Yeah, that's completely natural. Don't freak out and cause a fuss and get parent's involved...that's a LOT more likely to screw her up and give her sexual issues when she's older. She hasn't done anything wrong, let her be.

Oh FFS #5 > It's called experiencing. I am a 34 female and I grew up in a pretty strict family where nudity was pretty much a taboo . When I was a kid, I was still curious about private parts, that didn't make me a pervert. I was just wondering why boys had penises and I didn't. Or why women had breasts and I didn't although I was a girl. It's not uncommon for little kids to show each other's privates, it's pure curiosity, it has nothing sexual. And yes, when I was 3 or 4, I had a "boyfriend". Actually he had 2 girlfriends, me and another one, the world's youngest bigamist I guess. And we used to do kinky stuff like holding hands during nap time or building sand castles together. Ooh dirty, isn't it? I had a few crushes while growing up but anything remotely connected to physical contact used to disgust me till I was old enough to be interested in that (and I'm talking when I reached my early teens). And even then I was mainly interested in the holding hands parts and maybe a few kisses. Nowadays people are getting so paranoid. We see enough FML on guys being called pedos for trying to help out a kid. Yes our society is hyper-sexualised but it's plainly stupid and just making matters worse for children to associate any innocent and normal behaviour to some kind of sexual and disturbing agenda. The weirdos here are people thinking that a 6 year could be interested in having sexual activities. And to be honest, I find OP's question "did he take his shirt off" a really strange thing to ask a 6 year old. Because there he was implying the possibility of some kind of physical desire / attraction.

Its just curiosity. When I was six, I had a friend who had younger brothers running around the house naked. Being six, I didn't go penis=sex. I thought more like penis=embarrassing. Its just curiosity. I don't think you should worry about it.

kids say the darndest things!!

I admit that seeing it isn't completely far fetched being that at this age siblings sometimes bathe together, but the fact that she referenced it in a sexual manner is disturbing.

Except she didn't. OP may have taken it in that way but the little girl doesn't seem to have said anything of the sort. Stop looking at it from an adult's perspective...it's kind of creepy.
