Question 4

is it normal for 8 year old girls to masturbate?

Accepted Answer

: It happens. If this is happening it suggests someone in her close circle introduced her to the process and that person may have been sexually exploited.

If she must, it must by like a potty break, alone &amp; out of sight.
