Yah, I agree. I had one parent tell me that a social worker who specialized in child psychology, told them to train the kids to call their penis' 'fishies" or "fish". I asked the parents if the social worker was recently paroled from the looney bin.

Oil the mitt with leather oil, then get the ball that it is going to be used with,i.e. softball, horsehide hardball, etc..
Place the ball in the "sweet spot" in the web, close the glove with the ball in the sweet spot and wrap the glove tightly with rope or strong string and let it set.
You can use the glove the next day, and re-tie it at night until the sweet spot is shaped.
When a ball is fielded, the ball will "pop" right into the sweet spot every time.

Next time he asks, take the well oiled glove, smack it soundly in the "sweet spot" with your fist, and tell him, "it's to keep your balls in." That should help prepare him well for life as an adult.

Twinsoft: LOL!
Reamond: What's a web?
Yellowstone & Borillar: Neither of you answered my question. So here, help me further by filling in the blank...
Boy, age 6, exploring scrotum, who incidentally knows it is called that: "What are these for?"
You: Well, Sam, ______________________.

Here, nycy, tell him exactly this:
TESTIS
(tsīts) (KEY) or testicle (tsītkl) (KEY) , one of a pair of glands that produce the male reproductive cells, or sperm. In fetal life the testes develop in the abdomen, then descend into an external sac, the scrotum. A testis is composed of about 800 coiled seminiferous tubules whose linings contain cells that develop into sperm. These tubules merge into a larger tube called the epididymis that leads out of the testis into the vas deferens. Between the seminiferous tubules there is interstitial tissue that secretes the male sex hormone testosterone, which stimulates the development of the male reproductive system and secondary sex characteristics. Sometimes the testes do not descend normally before or shortly after birth and remain in the abdomen or groin. Such a condition requires medical attention or the gland will eventually become sterile.
After you tell him that, he won't be asking you anything about his body anytime soon.

Looking back I always appreciate when I was told the truth as a child and hold a grudge for when I was lied to.
I would give a six year old a general answer first and wait to see if he wants a more specific answer.
I would tell him that those are what makes him a boy or a male instead of a girl. That will satisfy a lot of six year olds.
If he can absorb more he'll ask for it. Give him everything he wanys clear through molecular biology. Some kids will surprise you - he might be the sort facinated with bodies and biology who decides he wants to be a doctor at 8.

i never ask about it and nobody ever told me.
i only wondered why girls didnt have them and wanted to find out then the trouble started.
i later found out they do have them but they just dont tell us unless men upset them and they can have very large ones when provoked. LOL

Borillar: You're killing me out here. You certainly are in rare form today!
See what happens to men when the women are out of the room? (I don't count. I am sans sex.) They have fun!

Gravid: Duh. That's my general modus operandii. I don't know why I let this one throw me. Boy, did I blow this one.
"Oh! That's where your pee-pee is stored until it comes out."
"Pee-pee can't go 'up'."
"Sure it can! Now brush your teeth." (He'll eventually forget this response.
Incidentally, he has been into anatomy and skeletons since two. You would think the Addams Family lived here or something.
Reamond: Thanks!
breinhold: LOL!
I LOVE men. If I could work only with men I'd be in heaven. Just don't want one in my house.
