I am a 28 year old female with a son who is 9. Last week I went to take a shower, but forgot to fully close the bathroom door. I had just finished disrobing when I noticed that my son was look at me through the opening of the door. He startled me, and I let out a scream. He ran to his bedroom as I dr**ed myself with a towel. I then followed him to his room.

The poor kid thought I was angry, but I felt bad about the scream. as I understand that young boys are naturally curious about the female body. I assured him that I wasn't angry and that I had screamed because he startled me.

Although I was very embarrassed, I thought it best to satisfy his curiosity, so I dropped my towel. His eyes got wide and he dropped his hand to cover his private parts, as I realized that he had an erection. I gently took his hand and touched my breast and my genital area. His only response was to ask why I had so much black hair down below.

I explained that was something that came with age, and that he would get hair down there when he got older. Later on that evening I told my husband about the episode, but I left out the part about his question regarding my pubic hair. I honestly don't know why.
