Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you should consult a child psychologist. Sometime at that, few children behave like this. May be due to getting sexual maturity, he has been getting sexual urge and asking for it. In that case, it is important to know what is going on in his mind. He needs behavioral therapy. With therapy, he would improve. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
