Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi, thanks for asking.
It is very common and normal for the children of this age to be curious about sex. You should talk to him about the legal problems about lying his age. This is a phase and will pass.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you

Pediatrician, Pulmonology Dr. Sumanth Amperayani's  Response
Hi...a 14 year old having abnormal curiosity in spite of having a friendly talk with the parents and later repeating it is not normal. I suggest you get him counselled by a professional child psychologist. The other possibility is that he might be having an obsessive compulsive disorder and even this needs psychological evaluation.
Regards - Dr. Sumanth
