Pre-pubic masturbation and child health

I was addicted to masturbation, which I started when I was 7 or 8 years and did not even ejaculate, as I hadn’t hit puberty. I have paid a price for it and would not want anyone to go through what I have gone through in my life. Most children play with their genitals from a very young age, I guess it is a natural instinct and may be giving them some pleasure. And quite a few end up masturbating even before they hit puberty. When it is excessive, like in my case it can damage your health irreversible and you may have to live with its consequences through your adult life. Your career, health and life in general will suffer.

To know that a child is masturbating is not difficult. Spending too much time in the bathroom or toilet, wanting to keep their rooms bolted or finding lonely spots to hide are some common signs. Bed wetting may be a consequence of pre-pubic masturbation. In Homeopathy this is discussed at great length. Bufo Rana is a good Homeopathic remedy that is very often administered for combating bad effects of pre-pubic masturbation. Excessive pre-pubic masturbation can have deep rooted psychological effects and may even lead to suicidal tendencies and epilepsy. If you have the slightest inkling that your child is masturbating, you must try to stay around him as often as you can. Change the rules of the house. Like no one should keep his or her door closed. Remove the bolt from the bathroom door on the inside. Try to encourage the child to go out and play. But you need to keep a watch even in outdoor play. Children are smart, innovative, fearless and resourceful, sometimes with all the precautions they will find a way to masturbate. At that age they may masturbate in bed, have an orgasm, and not even spill anything.

It is often difficult for parents to believe that their 5 or 6 year old is sexually active. Even the child does not know what he is doing, he does it because it is play, and it is fun and gives him pleasure. You need to keep a watch over little girls also because often enough even girls try to rub their genitals. I do not know too much personally but Homeopathic texts talk about boys and girls alike. When women grow up they often turn to other women for sexual pleasure but before puberty girls often try rubbing themselves against men given the opportunity. Some are brave or intrigued enough to even grab the penis. So you need to watch out.

Some other signs to watch out for are, if your child is eating less or is anorexic. Eyes have become sunken and listless, and his general health is suffering for no medical reason. Try not to let your child be without supervision. Every child needs to be protected. You cannot talk to a 7 year old about the rights and wrongs of masturbation, but find ways to keep him from doing it. Sexual gratification is one of our base needs like eating or breathing, every will try it, but excessive masturbation needs to be controlled at any age.
