Yes.: As a parent, we don't want to think of our kids a sexual beings. I don't want my parents to think of me that way either. However, your son is likely bombarded with sexual imagery and topics in his peer group. He may be experiencing puberty and is starting to become curious. It's normal. Talk to him about it. Normalize it. Give him a safe place to come to with questions. Good Luck!
