A member asked:
Would it be abnormal that my 12 year old son, (just turned 12), is masturbating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most of his 12 year old peers are as well. Congratulations on being a dad and watching your son grow up. This might be a great time to talk with him, communicating effectively on a new level of respect and with new experiences and feelings in common. A little advice from dad about girls can be a huge plus. His physician can offer guidance to you both. Best wishes.
