When I was 5-6 years old, I used my parents back massager down there because it felt good. Obviously, my parents heard the vibrations and caught me sitting in their floor using it. They just laughed it off and that was the end of it. So as a child I would always play with myself because I was curious and it felt good. As I got older, around 9-10 yr old probably, I would try to get my sister to experiment with me. She's 3 yrs younger than me. I'd want to touch her's and want her to touch me. I would want her to play like we were doctor and patient and touch each other down there. Alot of times she put up opposition. Sometimes she would go along with it. Sometimes I'd push her so much that she would cry and want to tell my parents on me. Of course, I'd stop and beg her not to tell anyone. This all finally stopped around age 10-11. My parents were always "hush hush" about sex and anything that related to it. It was always a very private matter, so naturally I was curious. Now, I'm a 25 year old female and this haunts me. Is this normal or not?

I think everything sounds normal. Babies have been recorded in utero feeling their genitals. As a person who has taken lots of early childhood psy. classes it is absolutely normal for a child to explore there body. Once a child finds out something produces a favorable sensation then why stop. It's not wrong until someone tells you it is wrong. My kids play in the buff all the time. My littlest one is now 5. She plays w/ her boy cousins of the same age and younger in the pool or bath with nothing on. My sister and I feel the same way about nudity. My little girl had no idea that it might be wrong until my mom came by and saw 2 naked boys and a naked girl running around in the yard. Sexuality is now wrong.
I think at some point we all played Dr. or spin the bottle with others that led to later questions about what is appropiate and what is not. If we all didn't then you and I must be the only ones who did. It is all part of exploration and the beginings of right and wrong and boundries. |

I think you're just fine.
 Young kids often have a lot of curiosity about what's "down stairs," so to speak. It's very normal, and nothing at all to allow yourself to be haunted by.

bamapsych I think your forgetting that you did these things when you were a child. That you didn't have the same awareness and morals that you do now as a adult. You need to give yourself a break, your actions were natural for a child.

there is most definitely nothing wrong with you
I had a similar experience like you and I don't even think about it. We were kids...

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
