One of my close friends recently revealed a strange (to me) sexual past, and I was just wondering how common this is... So she started masturbating at like 7, and until she was about 11 or 12, was getting the boys (and girls) to put their hands down her pants and touch her. Not in an attempt at orgasm I guess, but just pleasure? I dunno. But she hasn't had sex, which seems like an odd thing, given that history. So I grew up in a completely different environment, so I didn't even think it was possible at 7. Have any of you had similar really-young experiences like that? Do you think it's affected your mature sexuality?
poking at your body at 7 years old is perfectly ok. and no matter how much you masturbate, it doesn't factor into whether or not your a virgin - masturbation is about orgasms, not about intercourse. so yes, it's perfectly normal, not at all weird
Wow, why would she tell you that!? lol...Jus seems like somethin that didnt need to be said to me. I suppose all children get curious at different ages(although i agree, 7 seems really young)...But then i always believe we were very different little people as children. Childhoods just a development period, waiting and preparing to be an adult. As long as she has healthy views on sexuality now, i dont see a problem. Love-Maxi.Xx
I've told my close friends regarding my own sexual past, and I believe that came out of our deepened emotional bonds. It just felt natural to me to talk about it with them, and I even think it was necessary, at least for me. As for your friend, Freaker, I don't think her past is weird at all. I'd say that's a healthy sexual past.
Sounds like a normal past to me, from what I have read and the folks to whom I have talked. My wife says she has been masturbating as long as she can remember.
I think alot of us have histories like that. I know I did and some of my firnds and even my sister did. So I dont think its weird or unnatural. paul
I think we all have a long history of self discovery. I remember being as young as 5 or 6 when i realised that it felt nice to press things against my crotch. oh and that i had a serious fetish with suspenders.
I think finding my dad's porn at age 8 didn't help much, lol I was so interested in sex and boys after that... I didn't end up losing my virginity till I was 14 but was masterbating quite young and thinking about women in a sexual way very very young.
I knew how it all worked by the time I was 3, and was able to get erections by then as well. I'd touch myself but I never masturbated until I was 18.
Step 1: Be born a genius (I'm not trying to brag, it's just the blatant truth) Step 2: Folding laundry with mom while she's watching her soap operas.
Actually, and pardon the double post, I had a quasi-sexual experience when I was 5 or 6 with a 10-year-old girl at the lake we were camping at in Texas. I passed by a trailer, she got out and grabbed my arm and pulled me in. We took off our clothes and started playing around and then her mom started her way in and we hid in the closet while her mom changed and then left, and then she made me get dressed and pushed me back out. Very strange. I had never even met her before.
Actually, having that kind of experience and knowledge has been very difficult for me to cope with, and I'm almost afraid to say why. But I will, for others' benefits. Because I was SO young when I found out what body parts do what and such, and found actual attraction and fascination with even 5 or 6 year old female nipples (you find out, when you start looking, that you can see young girls' nipples down theirs sleeves if they're loose enough -- I must make sure to note to you all, this is what I did when I was THEIR age, not now that I'm older than them), that I have, how do I say this... .. I have mild pedophilic tendancies. What I MEAN by that, is that where some people will see a girl as young as 4 doing something like flipping her dress up cuz she's playing with their clothes and just laugh, I'll laugh too and then blush and keep looking... I never go out of my way to do anything like this. I never and WILL NEVER abuse kids. But yeah.. The worst part about this is actually that it's made me question a few of my sexual preferences for the simple reason that I like flatchested/small-breasted women.
oh hun, the too fuuny post was for the soap opera comment. sorry.... I am so sorry for you... I feel bad for children that have been sexually abused, I am quite emotional about it... I almost was molested when I was 9-10 years old by a man welcomed into our home by my father and then didn't believe me when I told him. and also my uncle is currently in jain for molesting my two little cousins, so it hits my heart when you talked about that. even if she was your age or alittle older it was still so wrong of her to do that to you.
aww ^_^ *squeeeeeeeeeeze* but really, I dunno, I never felt "abused" by that.. honestly speaking I feel more abused having been forced to watch soap operas every day for 5 years
