A member asked:

How could my 7 yr old neice find out about masturbating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exposure: Most 7 year olds have not yet had the discussions regarding sexuality with parents/school, as they are not usually mentally or emotionally developed enough to grasp the concepts. When young children are inappropriately aware of sexual acts or other adult type behaviors, it usually indicates exposure through witnessing in person or on TV, or from overhearing a conversation about it. Investigate!
