Hi.. yeah possible.
Human sexual desire begin at age of2 to 3 month. You minght have noticed babies with their hand in diaper playing with themselves. They get pleasure with this though an orgasm or ejaculation is not possible but studies shows that sexual desire begins at this age.
I m pleased to help you.
Thanks
