A member asked:
Can a 5 or 6 year old boy if he plays with himself release hormones if there not going through puberty ?

No: Puberty is driven by centralized signals from the brain as pre-programmed by genes. In infant or child can have erections because the equipment is wired that way. It does not trigger hormones that are not ready to be made.

No: There is no specific hormonal response from toughing the genitals. Typically it is the result of curiosity and it feels good.
