Don't think of masturbation this young to be sexual, they're just starting to explore themselves and they often times don't have a name to what they are doing, they are just doing what feels "right" to them, and some of them, like me when I was that age, are afraid or may think that what they are doing is wrong. What they are doing is very natural and I think is very innocent. I can't imagine that exploring themselves is ill-natured or done maliciously or that they're sexual fiends. They're curious about their bodies and are just beginning to learn what love and sex is about. That's why schools have sexual ed so early, kids at that age are starting to develop.
But I understand where you're coming from. I work with elementary school children and it astonishes me when the school girls start gossiping about their older "boyfriends" and who they want to go out with. And sometimes it's cute when I catch them kissing a magazine of One Direction. And so far it's all been good-nature; I haven't heard any girls calling each other names for being curious about their sexuality. Let kids be kids, it's just part of growing up and some mature faster than others.
