I'm really worried about my baby's skin. He was born 25 days ago with fair and reddish skin, but now he's starting to get a little darker each day. My mom uses coconut oil on his face and body before his bath and then cleans him with gram powder instead of soap. Is there anything I can do to maintain his original skin color?

My younger brother is 12 years and 2 months old. His friend showed him a picture of a naked girl on a phone, and when he saw it, he suddenly had an orgasm and ejaculation without even touching his penis. This was his first time ever experiencing this, and he hasn't tried masturbating before. Is this a normal reaction?
