I have 3 sons. My oldest will be 36 this year.
I will never forget how surprised I was when I realized infants have erections. There is no sexual aspect to it at that age, but little boys learn it is a particularly “sensitive” part of their bodies.
I’m no expert by any stretch of the imagination, but a 7 yr old & 11 yr old doing these things suggests either poor parenting or the possibility they had been victimized

Yep... I used to believe that it was definitely a sign of prior victimization of (at least) the older child. However, in reading over the years that the boys most likely to have these issues are raised in a home with no father, or where they are estranged from the father for some reason (even if there is a step-father in the picture). Depending on any other possible behaviors the older one exhibits it could be either, or even both.
