Question

I'm really concerned about someone who has this unusual habit of eating tiny pieces of wall. I'm wondering if this is just a habit or if it might be some kind of medical issue. If it turns out it's not simply a habit, what steps should be taken to address it?

I'm worried about my 12-year-old brother. He's been saying that when he's watching TV and sees a female actor, some sticky stuff comes out of his penis without him doing anything. He also masturbates every day. Is this some kind of side effect from masturbation, or is it a normal thing for boys his age?
