Users comments and reviews on article Masturbation by Kids: Is Sexual Self Stimulation Normal for Preschoolers by Ratnakar Kini, MD
Great article. I have a 3 and 5 year old who almost constantly play with their penis whenever they are naked. Their mother thinks this is strange at times - but I try to reassure her this is very normal - and that is simply feels good to them...why wouldn't they do it. We have never had any issues with them doing it in public - they never do it through clothes...so I think this behavior is very much under control. At this point we don't discourage them - but as they get older we will try to stear them to more privacy (like their bedroom) when they are masturbating.
Thanks for the article - and the reassurance that this is a normal activity!

Dearest Author,
This caught my attention:
"During normal development children start exploring their body. They are more obsessed with their mouth, hair and ear lobes. They may be seen stimulating their external genitals. Since it feels good to self stimulate the genitals they continue doing it. But many preschoolers keep doing this during periods of stress or when they are unhappy. These children may feel anxious or are not receiving enough attention at home which makes them involve in this self stimulating activity. Or more commonly they do because their hands are free. There is no medical reason for this normal behavior."
As a professional - especially in manic 'unhappy' moments - I get a little stimulated. I got that way in college. I assure you I am aware and loyalty is my thing, and humanity that defines "integrity." Still the excess cortisol don't help me look like brown eyed, brunette Ken. Cortisol apparently off-sets things like stress. Its a copping drug. I like advertisement. I have a marketing degree.
Reaffirm me, mania is a good thing right? Okay so we shouldn't do it in public, I have fantasies like ideas; which good according to teachers.
There is an accepted cultural norm afterall, but at times I would like to do some funky things on film, BUT with my significant other whose a devoted Catholic - believing she's the Virgin Marry whom I love (its the allegory of good romance that has taken my mind, I don't have a girlfriend like that). I don't mind affection in public, but I was thinking kinkier. Blessings. Its just as much adult behavior as it is youth behavior. I doubt it has anything to do with the endocrine system, or sugar diabetes that can cause us to do funny things. It could be emotions.
Blessing teachers, and if a boy at about 7 years old grabs ass, go easy. I was born in 75, and that came with a whipping.
Its about what you can tolerate and what you can not, based on some 'social' dominate ideal.
Peace,
Mike

My son keeps onmasturbating and his private part sack is all the way down and Im worried that this might affect him when he is older p.s. please respond imediately because i dont know what to do
Unfortunately - I really don't even have a clue what you're asking here 'dimplz'. Please try to rephrase our question in a way that we can understand - and all of us will try our very best to provide you with assistance!
Yes its a common thing but we must find ways to deal with it.Dont let the preschoolers feel lonely which will spell the charm to masturbate.The parents should be asked to take a concious step to stop all these.
