Re: sex??
Sex is a part of life. Children are curious about life, so being curious about sex is to be expected. Try not to make a big deal of it, as it seems the other mum is not upset that this is happening.
I was about 8/9 when I first became really curious about it (thankfully, never got caught playing 'doctor' ) and I know that my girls are already exhibiting signs of curiosity and the oldest is only 5.
All you can really do is invite more sex like tv etc in to your home, not hardcore of course! Just some pg rated movies that are a bit more sexually involved. The more you hide these things from kids, the more they are going to be curious about it and the more they are going to drive you mad!
Your son is not obsessed with sex, he is doing a very healthy and natural thing. He is exploring his own body and comparing the differences with other people, which helps him to identify what makes him an individual.
As for the kissing, the more you make a fuss of that, the more he is going to do it. I remember being quite young when I first started that game 'catch and kiss'. I think I was about 5 (and just started school! lol).
Basically, don't make a big deal about it. Sex is afterall one of the most natural things in the world, and he was created by it too, so by trying to cover it up, you are basically (though he won't make the connection) saying that he is something to be ashamed of, which just isn't true.
Relax, and let him explore his world and where he fits into it.
