Is masturbation for a 12 year old really okay?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: The large majority of boys and many girls have already started. This is natural and if you try to interfere, you'll be making a mistake. Only an ideologue would consider this unspiritual or believe it makes a person insensitive to other people. If you are still concerned, talk with your physician and/or someone with a scientific, humane focus. Best wishes & glad you care.
