OK you lot. I'm at a loss. How do I explain to a 10 year old that whilst he may like how it feels when his 6 year old sister sits on his lap and wriggles, there might be a bit of a problem?
Without creating a bigger one.
As it were, fnarr fnarr, etc.

I would liken it to picking your nose or pottying. "You should not involve another person in picking your nose, shaking your willy or wiping your bummy either. Further behaviour like this will be taken seriously and you will not get <insert sanction which expires that day here**>."

All I have is cats, thank God. They do their willy waggling elsewhere.
However, NP'sF has the right idea, I believe, in being frank and up-front about the issue. Only, let's not make willy waggling a issue of dirtiness. Isn't 10 still the age of innocent exploration*, or am I hopelessly old-fashioned?
*i.e. it's not sexual, just feels good.

Well, come puberty he'll learn why - in the meanwhile can you not just tell him its rude - and besides what if she falls off and hurts herself - and therefore not allowed. When you're little loads of rules make no sense, you still have to follow them.
(The not touching each others private parts is a different rule really, I think.)

If he's 10 half the girls in his class will be going through puberty, so the birds and bees talk would not be mistimed.
The problem is that it is inappropriate getting sexual pleasure from his sister, not that sex is inappropriate, but the timing, partner and place. So consent, not embarrassed others and being award me his body's responses could all be good topics to discuss.

Oops ~ phones and posting travelling = gobbledygook
That second paragraph should have read: quote:
The problem is that it is inappropriate getting sexual pleasure from his sister, not that sex is inappropriate, but the timing, partner and place. So consent, not embarrassing others and being aware of his body's responses could all be good topics to discuss.
