A member asked:
From a young age, i would ask other children to be my doctor and touch me inappropriately. they were usually 2 years or so older or younger. never forced but in locked rooms. when i was 6-10 years old. i am worried i abused them. is it abuse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
talk to therapist.: Sexual Experimentation in children of this age is common. If it is reciprocal and non forced, then it is not abuse. If the age difference or maturity level is 4 years or more, or a person with limited or delayed mental capacity is involved, then there is concern about abuse. You may want to discuss this with a therapist to determine why you feel such worry.
