Well geez, I don't know if that's the best idea either, you don't want to make a kid "scared" of a normal part of the body (I see huge future issues for the kid whether it's a girl or a boy!).
I'm with Blondie, how about exercising a little parental direction and discipline and teach the kid how to handle a nice, strong "no." Helping kids deal with change and disappointment and developing coping skills is a parent's responsibility, isn't it?
