Question about child sexual experimentation

It's all part of becoming aware of your sexuality. I don't think having an age gap really makes a difference in that, at least not one as small as your referring to. Like you said it's an innocent, normal part of life.

The only thing I would consider is if you coaxed him into it. I did that to a girl in elementary school once, we played "doctor". I had done it before with girls while growing up, it actually wasn't my idea at first but after doing it once I started pitching the idea to other girls. The girl I regret doing it with seemed less into the idea than the others, yet I still convinced her it would be fun. I always feel bad whenever I think about it, despite the fact that she wanted to "play" more times after that. She may never have been exposed to those feelings so young if she didn't meet me. I really feel like I took advantage of her because she was very shy the first time so I made all the moves. If that's the case with you than it would certainly explain why your still thinking about it, and it's probably something that will bug you for awhile. I'm 21 myself and I still think about it almost 14 years later.

Just to clarify for those who don't know, "playing doctor" is not fornication.
On a somewhat comical side-note, I humped pillows until I realized using my hand made more sense. It's sort of the same thing, you don't really know why your doing it at the time but it sure does feel good.

Growing up I had a few accounts with same sex experimentation. These experiences were always with other boys my age. I always looked at these experiments as innocent and normal. There was however one point where I had a few sexual encounters with a family friend that was 3-4 years younger than me at the time I was 10. While growing up I started to think that maybe I did something wrong and that I was guilty for doing such a thing, even tho at the time it honestly just looked at the experience as part of lifes unfoldment, there was no resentment or ill will directed toward myself or my younger friend. Can somebody please give me some insight about this. I'm still confused about it 11 years later.

Thats everyone,

happy new year!

breaking a versale plate there is no way you can fix it again. You most know that at this age it is normal that you interract like that. I do not mean you were right. No. Absolutely. You most forget yourself for what happened. If you keep thinking of it you will forever live with the guilty in your mind. I imagine you are adult enough to decide what your position is about sex.

LOL ditto. ...and the arms of couches lol. Kids are strange.



1Lateralus1 I would not really stress over it. My first sexual experiences were with a neighbor who was 4 years older then me at the time and her brother who was the same age as me. She was 10 and we were 5-6 ish So that would put us in the same age range just reversed. We were always hanging out as kids and these types of things tend to come up. I honestly think it was just a part of my own experiences and I hold no ill will towards her and her brother. I think we feel guilt over these experiences because they were most likely the most awkward of the experiences we tend to have in our life time.

I think you should just laugh it off as tom foolery and be done with it. Everyone has these types of experiences as children. And if they don't they tend to be the ones that have extremely awkward sexual experiences later on in life. These types of interactions at a young age are just our way of becoming familiar and comfortable with our sexualities.

....I can only imagine the awkward stuff my kids will get into. Actually scratch that I don't want to imagine. All I am saying is its natural.

Improbable submit! This might help a lot of folks find out about this matter.
