Caught by little brother, I don't know what to do now

[Curious.kid]

I thought the coast was clear, but my little brother (he's 6 if you want to know) came into our room and caught me masturbating. I told him not to tell mom or dad because I know I'll get in trouble. But he wanted to know what I was doing. I said I'll tell you later but he keeps asking every time we're alone and I don't know what to say because I don't want to tell him. But if I don't say something I think he's going to tell my parents because he knows it's something I'm nervous about. But if I tell him the truth and he tells my parents, I will get in so much trouble and punished for telling him when he's too young. I don't know what to do and I feel trapped and guilty and scared he's going to say something. He has a big mouth. :(

Also he thinks when I have a wet dream that I peed the bed since he sometimes wakes up when I turn on the lights to clean it up.

[chiisaiaoiryu]

First off, how old is your little brother? I would imagine maybe in the single digits if you're that nervous to tell him.

Secondly, why would you be in trouble by your parents for masturbating? I understand if you got in trouble for telling your little brother, but why would masturbating itself cause you trouble with the parents? Unless it's against your religion or something; it doesn't make much sense.

But apart from that, just try to give him an answer that you know he'll be satisfied with. You could say something along the lines that what you were merely scratching yourself or something innocent.

And on the off-chance that he tells your parents, you can just say you were checking yourself out for anything weird since your health class recommended you do so every now and then. But if you're one of those guys whose parents don't allow to have sexual health class, then stick with the intense scratch story. I still say it's nothing to be worrying about your parents knowing that you masturbate in general, but I don't know what goes on in your home and life.

I've seen some of your posts before, your bro is only about 8 or 9, so is not of the age yet to be masturbating. First off, you may already be in the position that he may say something if you don't speak to him.
When you do, initially make him promise not to tell. Let him know, he will start himself one day, and it is a private thing, that parents sometimes (like yours) don't like to think that their little boy does, even though all boys start eventually. Basically tell him it's a part of puberty, which is basically where the boy's body starts to develop, and change, as a boy's body develops into a man. For down there, that means hair, a bigger penis and more feelings, and see if that does him for now

Yea because she's caught me before. Basically my parents said I can do it if the door is closed but my brother can't come in since we share a room. She hates it and I feel guilty because of her.

what can you do !

My broher is 6 years old. I'm afraid I'd be in trouble for him knowing about it. My parents have caught me before and my mom doesn't like it, but she said I have to make sure my brother doesn't see or find out since he's so little so I'm under a lot of stress and scared.

He's 6. I'm especially scared of my mom finding out that he saw.

my error. That age probably makes it a bit more difficult in terms of weather or not he has learned to control "his big mouth". Other than trying to tell him it is something that bigger boys do and that it will happen for him one day too. How much you tell him depends on how many questions he has

[asrlem]

First. Were ur pants all the way down or were u naked. If you were then you cant use the itchy cover-up second. Be nice to him and buy him something and just ask politley to not tell mom and dad or 3. Reject reject reject or tell him it was a dream.

[football matt]

I would just tell him. Nothing you can do about him seeing you. And be more careful in the future

[pconnor2001]

It's normal unless it is against your religion or something.

[Fireangel]

Tell him you had a pain and you was rubbing cause that pain.

[Erik13]

don't wait for your brother to tell on you. go and tell your parents you need a lock on your bedroom door to keep your little brother from barging in while you are naked or doing things.

[theDoc]

Tell him u had a really bad itch and was scratching it...

[Tendencies]

Lie to him. It may not be ethical, but that's what I would do. Tell him that you were changing or something. I've been in a situation similar to you and I just told him I was changing and didn't ask questions.

[allisonmyers]

tell him its ok deny everything

[Curious.kid]

what can you do !

He came into our room when I had the door closed. He wasnt supposed to do that.

[Slashman1]

just tell him its a older kid thing and you will tell him if he promises not to tell or when he is older because if you don't tell he might just got ask your parents what you where doing

[James Dean]

It's up to you on how you deal with this. If you're gonna be doing those types of things, be prepared to explain yourself should it make a turn for the worst. You were already warned by your parents before about this. In my opinion, because he is younger than ten, I wouldn't mention it to him or try to change the subject when he asks. Just keep ignoring him if he brings it up and he'll eventually forget about it. At that age he shouldn't have known what you were doing.

If this still isn't working, then find a creative way on how to break it down to him.

[Erik13]

ah, you are actually sharing the room with your 6 year old brother. that really sucks. first, stop masturbating in your room. find another place to pull the pud, like maybe the bathroom. second, talk to your parents. let them know that a guy sharing a room with someone that is literally half your age is not only hard on your younger brother, but it is doubly hard on YOU. the vast differences between the two of you both in mental and physical maturity are going to be a major problem as time goes on. by the time your brother even comes close to catching up with you he will be 14 and you will be 22 and long gone. maybe there is nothing they can do to change the living arrangements, but at least they will know what the situation is.

like my uncle tells me, our parents were our age once. they have to know what you are going through.

I didn't expect him to come in because he shouldn't have. Sometimes I just need to be in there with the door closed if you know what I mean. I know I was warned, that's the reason I feel really bad about it. I don't want my brother to know because I'll get in trouble and I don't want my parents to find out because I don't want him to get in trouble.

I love him and sharing a room. The good things are I'm not lonely but the bad things is he yells in his sleep and sometimes he wakes up when I have a wet dream because I have to turn on the lights to clean it up, but he thinks I wet the bed like peeing.

i don't doubt that you love him. but you pretty much outlined the problems it causes, didn't you? can you picture the next four years of this before you legally become an adult and moving out? he will still be ten, and i don't know when you hit puberty, but i am guessing that he will still have a couple of years to go by then. there is no way that HE is going to relate to what YOU are going through right now. especially since you are not going to be able to even explain in the terms in which he is going to understand right now. even the fact that you probably have some hair and a penis that makes his look like a pimple in comparison is enough for him to be asking some questions that you shouldn't have to answer by yourself. this is something that you need to try and explain to your parents if they are going to be holding YOU responsible for what HE sees.

i have a similar situation that i had to deal with. imagine living with three sisters and a mother. yes, all women, no guys. there was absolutely NO privacy in the house, and we all have a tendency to be walking around nude or close to it at times. luckily, we have this old place out back here that used to be a guest cottage, and my uncle fixed it up and my mom lets me live out here now. the point is, we need our privacy sometimes.

[Catholic Guy]

Just because he's young it wouldn't stop me being honest, it's been observed that even babies play with their cocks so why lie to a six year old, hard to believe but I know someone who had sea at 7 so perhaps you should say that 'you were doing a special thing that people over 11 years old do and when he reaches that age then he will work it out but until then he will just have to wait'

I agree with JohnBlogs ( up to the everyguy does it , not every guy does it. The majority do but not everyguy ). John has answered this question perfectly

Yes I am held responsible for what he sees. The deal my parents made was I can masturbate even though my mom hates it as long as my brother doesn't see. But now he found out and I don't want to be punished for it. I don't know what to tell them because I'm afraid. I wish this never happened.

[hockeyfan]

Just tell him u were scratching an itch. It's the truth and he should tell him to settle down.

[TheLivingLie]

Tell him either a lie or that u will tell him when he gets older

[Curious.kid]

I told him I was rubbing a bruise because he kept asking and I didn't want him to get in trouble.

I told a lie that I was rubbing a bruise but I told him not to tell my parents.

Yup, a good lie is the best way to get out of something, until it catches you back.

[Drewboy]

Maybe you could say you had an itch and you were scratching it?

[Curious.kid]

Yup, a good lie is the best way to get out of something, until it catches you back.

I told him a lie that I was rubbing a bruise, but now I'm worried because I would get in even bigger trouble if my parents catch me and find out about the lie. They don't tolerate lying especially my dad. I'm really scared of my brother saying anything so should I just come clean to my parents about what happened so I can't get in anymore trouble? I just want to fix this I neve even wanted him to see it in the first place :(

[DeadEyes]

As bad as this may sound (I don't mean to encourage lying), that would have been a better lie.

Well, obviously you didn't but what is done is done eh?
I read that, the problem is if your brother do tell, the obvious question from your parents will be: what bruise?
Then, you can try covering with another lie about that fictional bruise, or tell the truth (since they might not believe you really have a bruise).
But then again, if you're lucky, your brother just won't say anything.
Now, if you did tell the truth to your brother, let's face it, that probably would've freak him out enough for him to tell your parents.

[Aajj333]

You have bad parents if you will get introuble

So do you think I should just admit to my parents what happened? Now I feel really bad.

As I said, if you're lucky, your brother just won't say anything.
So you should just leave it at that because you have nothing to feel bad about, masturbation is natural and it's not your fault if your brother caught you, just an embarrassing accident.

[Leon03]

So do you think I should just admit to my parents what happened? Now I feel really bad.
Don't feel bad. It might be awkward admitting but after it it's over. Regardless if your brother tells them what he has seen or anything.

[Curious.kid]

You have bad parents if you will get introuble

Hey don't say that!

[JustShady]

Just don't tell him anything and he'll probably forget about it :))

[samii]

U will not be punish for masterbuting its normal thing
Am sure u r parents did this
They will understand
But do tell u r bro untill he 10 or old

[davidsp]

Hi Curious.Kid

I can see why you didn't know what to do. My parents sound maybe kind of similar to yours. I know this is an older topic now but I'm curious too about what you ended up doing and what happened. I'd like to know in case something like that every happened to me.

[DavidNorton]

Give him an answer that will satisfy him. My parents found out and they are very religious and it isn't as bad as you think it might be. It will be awkward, but it will be ok.

[the main man]

tell him its a secrete and he can't tell anyone

[NickC]

I, myself, dont think there is much to worry about. You cant really get in trouble for masturbating. But, as far as your brother goes, there is nothing you can really do. Just dont tell your brother. I mean, he is 6 years old, he will probably forget about it in a few days. And so what if your parents know? You are a 14 year old teen guy, so of course you are going to masturbate because every last teenager pretty much masturbates. Masturbation is normal, so they cant punish you or anything.

[RyguySTL00]

I hope they didn't do anything. That's dumb as hell!
