Hi,

I am 18, but I am NOT sick. Sometimes, when I masturbate, I think of naked pre-teen boys and girls. Is this normal?

I had those thoughts at your age. I don't know if they were "normal" or not, but I can relate.

Just recognize the boundaries between your fantasies and reality. You can never act on these thoughts...you'll ruin not only your own life, but that of a child. The child will be forever changed by the behavior you fantasize about...for the worse and you, well, you potentially will end up in prison.

Keep your fantasies to yourself...grow up, be happy and hopefully find an adult person to love, make love with and spend the rest of your life with.

Be Happy and Prosper!

A male reader, anonymous, writes (31 July 2009):

Considered by modern society as taboo, forbidden, and unbalanced, it is actually far more common than believed. This occurs at all ages, in men particularly, but it can be seen in women as well. For thousands of years the appreciation of younger people was accepted and even expected. Personally I believe there is healthy and unhealthy appreciation. Healthy is an admiration and enjoyment, unhealthy causes harm and danger. At your age, it's less of a concern. If you wish to avoid it in the future when you are older, try forcing yourself to think of girls or guys your own age. There's no guarantee this will work, but some experts believe thinking of a young partner creates positive reinforcement, strengthening the desire.

Just THINKING of young boys and girls isn't really a problem. Every one of us has all manner of fantasies that we use when masturbating. Obviously you must not actually indulge in any kind of sexual contact with those under sixteen. But our thoughts are private to us and we can think what ever we like!

I also think of naked pre-teen boys when I do masturbation, since I was 7 year-old, I thought I was gay at that time, because the boys I think of was almost my age, they were around 7-9, only the one who has children voice which had not reach puberty yet. Then when I was 16, I start to think about pre-teen girls as well, So I thought that I was not gay, then untill I was 18 year-old I also think of naked teen girls at 13-16 year-old. Now I of peoples sons at the age 8 year-old. I want to see him naked everyday as a sexual thing I want to make love to him.This will slowly help you to change the way you think about kids in a very sexual way.

Whats normal? Who's the standard of normal sexual behavior that were supposed to put our selves up against? If there was a norm to conform to we would be humans pretending not humans being. There is unhealthy behavior but this guys not practicing that. He has normal male fantasies , any guy that says otherwise is a lier. sexual attraction can not be controlled its a part of humans most basic instincts it is a part of our survival. If this guy were to react to his urges , fantasies of younger girls or boys it would be unhealthy. Whats important is that he learns to differentiate between reality and fantasy. And get on with his life and not let all those on this site tell you how sick you are get you down. Only four (4) groups would look at this question pedophiles, concerned mothers, law enforcement , and Psy professionals or students. Which are you?

YES. It it very normal for an man to develop a sexual attractant. However make sure that it all stays a fantasy. If for some reason it crosses the line, and becomes actuality, you could mess up your life and your record. Plus it could cause the preteen to lose their self esteem.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (8 February 2008):

People are strange with their answers. Firstly I would say there really is no "normal" None of us could possibly aspire to that. The important thing here is to realise that sexuality is a creative process influenced by our own cultural and social environment. Clearly if you fantasise about kids you are simply immature. Not a crime. However it also shows that in some ways your parents or guardians have not been there for you. This is common. Your emotional immaturity can be dealt with by the discipline of a good further education. Try to read some good books and see some serious films from world cinema. As you mature so will your sexuality. You should quickly realise that the best sexual fantasy is one that involves someone you love. Good luck...

I masturbate while thinking of her and other young girls.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (16 January 2008):

Yes, it is wrong. Snap out of it.

BUT it is much more normal than you think.

Get out of la-la land, people. There have been studies that show a large percent of men show signs of arousal at images of . . um, "underage" sexuality/explicit images. Similar studies show attraction towards females in men goes FAR below the legal age.

The fact that you're only 18 means you probably DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. You say you've been to a trained professional who agrees. If you ask me, as long as this doesn't go further than it already has, or becomes some kind of regular exclusive thing for you, you'll grow out of it someday and move on.

Don't let uneducated internet people get you down.

Hell in some parts of the world the legal age is 13 years old and its considered OK. Those people would be treated like murderers in the US.

No its not normal. Thinking of preteens at the age of 18 shows that your sexuality didn't develop properly. I don't know why this has happened but you have got to work it out, perhaps enlist the help of a psychotherapist and work out this problem. Cause it is a problem and it is not normal.

A reader, anonymous, writes (11 January 2008):

Hi, Good on you for being brave to ask this question. I dont know if what you are feeling is normal but it does depends hugely on the type of thoughts you are experiencing. I dont agree with LJ001 as she says 'Don't let anyone tell you this is wrong, or sick okay'. I think the majority of society would deem it as wrong and as sick.

firstly: What is masturbation?

Masturbation is the physical stimulation of the sexual organs to produce feelings of pleasure. As a male your body has matured to a certain point where masturbating will eventually result in semen being expelled from the penis, usually accompanied by a very good whole-body feeling known as orgasm.

The fact that you will be experiencing these pleasures whilst thinking about children is a concern as it shows that this is something that turns you on and clearly makes the experience more enjoyable for you.

However, this does not make you a criminal or a peodophile just simply means that you have some negative sexual tendancies and may have a psychosexual disorder in which an adult's arousal and sexual gratification occur primarily through sexual contact with pre - teens. I am not a doctor, just giving my opinion.

Have you ever had a sexual relationship with an adult and have you got a low self-esteem. I am only asking this as you may see sexual activity with a child less threatening than that with an adult.

Ask yourself whether you think what you are feeling is wrong and if you agree then get help and fast.

duskyrowe agony auntSo LJ001, you don't think it is neccessarily wrong or sick to think about pre-teen boys or girls whilst masturbating. How would you feel if it was your sister/brother or son/daughter was a victim of fantasy through mastubation? Would your views still stand the same?

Anybody who has sexual fantasies of any kind regarding children needs professional help before this gets completely out of hand and I suggest LJ001 researches a little more thoroughly before she passes on any ridiculous comments concerning such delicate yet disturbing matters.

Don't let anyone tell you this is wrong, or sick okay. That is the first thing. And, just before I start, I think hello1 is very incorrect, and is showing no empathy.

Although I do think this is a little unusual, it's not necessarily wrong or sick. However, if these thoughts turned into a desire to see them naked on the internet, or you begin watching child porn, I would say this is wrong.

Don't feel guilty, or bad about these thoughts, but please don't let it go further. It's illegal to make or watch porn of a child, and is descriminating their rights.

Please, respect children, and don't let the thoughts go further.
