yep, they all do it, i have 2 boys, or 3 counting my other half LOL my eldest doesn't really do it much now, but my 7 year old, well he does it all the time LOL in fact the other day he lay on the sofa his hands down his pants, with a chocolate biscuit in the other, watching the tv, and i had to laugh, the caption would be "well life doesn't get any better than this" honestly hon its very normal, once they start they don't stop either LOL just try to instill in him that its not correct to do in the supermarket etc LOL other than that you can't tell him not to do it, just ignore it, and make sure he doesn't do it in public etc, and don't worry hes fine ......oh and welcome to the boards.

Having been a 6yo boy myself at one point, I can say it's perfectly normal...Once they discover it, it's hard to get them to stop.

When my cousin was just a few months old, she went through a phase for a few weeks where she was really flushed and bright red all over her body, virtually all the time. My aunt felt this wasn't normal and asked her doctor who told her that my cousin was just masturbating and that it was perfectly normal

thanks for the reasurance, needed it. was getting a little worried that he may have seen it some where else. thanks for the welcome

Just as everyone else has said, there is really nothing to worry about. He is just simply curious about his body.

I started when I was 6, too. If you have any porn in your home, such as magazines or movies, believe me they will find it. LoL
