A) A kid doing that, that early on means some sort of trauma at a young age. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, bad boundaries with adults, something weird happened. Kids don’t do that normally. You may not remember it because of the way the mind can block things, but the implicit memory remains regardless of this.

Childhood masturbation is actually very common.

What is masturbation?
Masturbation is deliberate self-stimulation that results in self-comfort or sexual arousal. Many parents are alarmed to find their young child engaged in such activities. Our Western society does not generally like to think of children as sexual beings, but sexual development is as much a part of their normal growth and development as is learning language, playing, and getting the proper nutrition in order to grow.

Is masturbation common?
Yes. It is a common childhood habit. Most children—both boys and girls—play with their genitals (external sex organs or “private parts”) fairly regularly by the age of 5-6 years. By age 15, almost 100% of boys and 25% of girls have masturbated to the point of orgasm. Estimates of the rate of adult masturbation are about 95-99% of men and 40-60% of women. Find out more about childhood habits and annoying behaviors.

How do children learn about masturbation?
No one has to teach a child to explore his or her genitals. It provides a feeling of pleasure, that once discovered, the child will most likely repeat. There have even been studies of prenatal ultrasounds revealing male fetuses doing it.

Most often, however, boys find their penises accidentally, possibly during a diaper change around six to seven months of age and become curious (just like their fascination with other parts of their bodies, such as fingers, toes and ears). Some child psychologists think that boys who have seen a naked girl may be fearful that they could lose their penis and end up looking like the girl. However, no one can be sure of what these toddlers are thinking.

Girls often don’t discover their vulva (female external genitalia) until about ten to eleven months of age. They may even insert objects into their vaginas as a matter of curiosity—much like the beans and small toys children of this age like to put into their noses and ears.

Genital play in both sexes can also take the form of rubbing with hands or rubbing against other objects such as a pillow, stuffed animal or the bed. Often the child will be found staring, flushed, with an absent look on their faces, breathing fast or irregularly while masturbating. The behavior generally increases with boredom, sleepiness or stress in the child’s life. It is important to remember that children do not generally associate this activity with sexuality or adult relationships until much later in childhood, more toward puberty. This is reassuring to some parents who are alarmed by their child’s behavior. Genital play is often used simply as a form of self-comfort.

If you comprehend that article correctly, it doesn’t say anything about masturbation. There is a difference between playing around and masturbating, especially in school at age 7. of course every kid plays with their willy in the bathtub and shit, I remember doing that. And I knew what sex and was attracted to females (found playboys etc) around 8-10 years old. I still never masturbated until I was about 13, well into puberty.

I started when I was 7 and I discovered it when I was bored and used my stuffed animals (was a crocodile) mouth to make it give me a blowjob…Best year of my life!

[The_Epidemic]

read the rest of the article, it says exactly what I am saying. it’s not masturbation how you or I think of it, its just a technical term here. It’s more like curious exploring/playing.

I think your semantics are trying to split hairs here. They define masturbation pretty clearly:

Masturbation is deliberate self-stimulation that results in self-comfort or sexual arousal

It seems that your definition differs from that.

Children explore their world, and when they find something that holds their interest by providing some level of pleasure, they watch it, play with it, or try to interact with it. The second the kid is deliberately stimulating themselves sexually, it’s masturbation.

I honestly don’t know why you’re being so obstinate about this. Children masturbate. Read any book on pediatrics or child development and they’ll tell you the same thing.

[blitzfu]

He’s just pissed cuz he doesn’t have a link to an article for his post. He should put one up or shut up.

I would agree that almost all children masturbate at least once before puberty. But I don’t think that all those cases are related to trauma. I might change my mind if there was a link to click on…LOL.

[Spartan_Throne]

Where’s Viscant when we need him?

[Dramatix]

You know, my friends and I had a conversation in the car about masturbation and porn, and everyone flipped out when I said I only fapped for about 1-3 times a month.

[Erawan]

This thread made me think of this documentary I saw a while back - these guys have a serious problem. Watch it, see if it’s like you and maybe you can learn a thing or two to try and help you get over it.

[Richter85]

Haha that bald dude’s fapping face is just hilarious :lol:

[petran79]

I saw once a message someone had scribbled on a wall

“The palm lives”

havent forgotten it ever since

[r313n71355]

This thread is seriously still active? Maybe someone should…

sticky it.

[Cisco]

I fapped to Chun Li’s lightening legs when I was 9… Panty shot in that World Warrior SNES… Just sayin…

Nothing wrong with fapping. Nothing at all. In fact, if you said you stopped, I’d be more concerned.

And like said, as long as you’re not whipping it out in public, you’re good.

I remember you posting a bunch of porn links around 7 years ago over being emotional or something. I was going to fap until i saw a bunch of underraged girls and close ups of ugly buttholes.

[AlphaCommando]

Gotta admit, when I came into this thread, I expected a lot more talk about fondling joysticks and fingering buttons.

[Sano]

They say it takes about 21 days to form a habbit so if you can give it up for that long you’ll be fine.

But there’s nothing wrong with it. Everyone does it and whoever says they don’t is lying. Married people do it. Women do it, hell they use toys to do it.

Just maybe don’t do it every day. Too much of anything in this world isn’t good for you physically and mentally. Except for drinking water. Go nuts with that one.

[Erawan]

Actually too much water can kill you too, take note http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7779079.stm

[Sano]

Ha good to know thanks. Well about 8 glasses a day since most people won’t manage that much anyway.
