Suggest Opinion On Masturbation By 9 Year Old
I m concerned - I discovered my 9 year old daughter masterbating with her teddy bear. It began with her rubbing herself with a blanket about a month ago. I told her this was something to do in the prrivacy of her bedroom (after reading on-line not to make her feel bad or ashamed) and now I found her with her teddy bear and she seems to be having an actual orgasm. She said it feels good and she is in her room where I told her was a safe appropriate place for this. I am going to talk with her pediatrician but I m confused and concerned.
