Hi, I had my first sexual experience with in primary school with a girl at the age of 10 we were both aware of what we were doing so it was not a case of not knowing what we were doing we both enjoyed the experience and it happened on more than one occasion, I am bisexual now but I just wanted to know if my first experiences were normal at that age lol
| yes | 20 | |
| no | 15 |
Yes it is normal. Many, if not most, children are sexually curious. They might not be sexually mature, or intellectually capable of understanding their curiosity or indeed some instinctive desires, but that doesn't mean they have no sexuality.
I had my first sexual experience at 7 with a girl in my class. It wasn't a case of copying something we'd seen or pretending to be adults, we just had some innate desire to play around with each other's bits ha.
I actually know a lot of adults who have admitted when they were younger they had some form of consensual sexual experience with another child.
It's natural to have these desires and this curiosity. Think about it - in the animal kingdom, there is no formal sex education. Much of what animals know of sex is instinctual. Humans are born with a similar instinct. It might be abstract, lacking in details, but the basic attraction is there.
It isn't anything like the level of attraction felt once adolescence and sexual maturity is reached mind you, and there is no subtext to this comment. I am not advocating children acting on desires. It should just be understood that for a lot of kids there is something there, and we have to be careful not to create a repressive negative association with sex in kids that could be damaging in adulthood. Sexual guilt is unnatural and a product of nurture.
Seems a bit young but hey, what can I say? I'm still a f*****g virgin...
=( Being single sucks...
