A member asked:

Is it normal for a 12-year-old to have sexual tendencies... and hide it from their family?

To get the most from this site you need to provide background detail in your post followed by your question. Sexual ideation is not unusual in pre-teens of either sex. Masturbation is often something they learn from a peer or in worrisome sexual exploitation by an older child or adult. You are welcome to start over and describe what you are referring to.

If you are referring to sexual tendency that is not in keeping with your assigned gender, it is normal for that to be apparent to the person by 12-years of age. You may wish to talk to a trusted relative or counselor. Wish you good health!
