Does Cross Dressing Imply Homosexual Behavior?

My 5 year old son sometimes wears my underwear. I have found him in the bathroom taking panties out of the washbasket & putting them on. When I question him, he just says he made a mistake. I calmly told him that this is not appropriate & didn t make an issue of it. He did this about a year ago & stopped, but has started doing it again. Is this normal or should I be concerned about homosexual behavior?

Hi..this is not homosexual behavior. This is called transvestism in medical terms. We need to curb this now it self. I suggest that you consult a pediatric clinical psychologist.
