Is it normal to cuddle with my 10 year old brother?

About me: 18/F

I regularly dote on my little brother. He loves to "play on the bed", which is usually me laying on him (my head on his butt/back) while we chat, and tickling him a lot. I slap him on the butt playfully to make him laugh, too. When I see him, I often attack with random hugs and sometimes even use baby talk (he has ADHD and sometimes acts like a 5 year old to get attention).

    I don't see anything wrong here, but why would you even question the normality of it in the first place?

    • Because I'd never be so affectionate in front of my friends or his... Idk why though, I guess I've never seen someone act like that with THEIR sibling in front of me, so it's weird. I've gathered all my info about sibling relationships from the TV LOL where they're always yelling at each other...

        I see. Well, that's understandable that you'd wonder. I don't perceive any ill intentions here, but you might want to be careful. As he gets older, this kind of playfulness/affection might not be okay anymore. Just respect his boundaries. You know what I mean?

    In a couple of years you can teach him how to masturbate.

    depending on the intentions where the actions are coming from ( what place are they motivated ) it's normal .. I think what you describe sounds pretty normal to me . I think you just take a healthy relationship in family , closeness and being there for him . It's good to have an older sibling that cares , it can make life a whole lot easier especially when faced with challenging decisions .

    he has a crush on you, and you can't see that because you love him like a younger brother, but he clearly wants more. once he's old enough he will try to touch your boobs.

    You should put him in diapers and let him play like this.

    • OP here, that's what he calls it LOL! A phrase he coined when he was super young and still uses to this day.
