Question
QUESTION: Hello:

I am curious to know how young a girl can be before she can masturbate. Do you know what the youngest age could be?

I thank you for your reply.

ANSWER: She can be any age. She could discover her sexual feelings at any age. I started around 5, but I have heard of times where they started earlier.

Hope I helped!

QUESTION: Hello Amanda:

I want to thank you for your answer and reply.

What advice would you give a parent who sees his daughter pleasuring herself at such a young age? At a young age of 6, for example, she may not be shy or timid to do it in private.

I cannot thank you enough for your follow-up reply.

Answer
I would just sit her down and talk to her. Tell her that she is not doing anything wrong, but what she is doing should be done in private. If she has already realized her sexual desires, you may want to educate her now about sex so that when her feelings become stronger, she will know safe from unsafe practices. Be open and frank with her, but make the discussion fun. It doesn't need to be awkward, just tell her about sex (using real, scientific names for everything) and if she has question, answer them directly. If she has a question you don't know the answer to, or just are not sure that you absolutely know the answer, look it up with her. When she gets a little older (like when she can read fluently), I would buy her a book that tells her all about puberty in both boys and girls so that she doesn't make bad decisions just because she is curious. I would recommend the book "The What's Happening To My Body Book For Girls" by Lynda Madaras. It is a great book. It has diagrams that show the genitals and label them without being vulgar about it and it has other diagrams and illustrations that will help your daughter understand everything better, including the changes in her body. It also has a section about puberty for boys so that she understands what happens to a boy and doesn't feel the need to find out herself. It is also a good book for you and your daughter to read together and some of it is even interactive coloring to learn the different body parts.

I know that you are a father, and it might be awkward to talk to your daughter about all this, but remember that she doesn't think it is awkward. If she knows that she can go to you about questions, concerns, or just in confidence about sex and masturbation, that will help her make healthier decisions when she gets older.

I hope I answered your question, and then some. Please let me know how things work out.
