When I was a kid, probably 6 years old, I discovered that touching a certain area felt good, I didn't know what sex was yet, so I figured it was just a weird random thing, but I did have some sense that people shouldn't touch their "bathroom area" while in public, so I just did this activity at night while in bed when everyone else was asleep. I know a lot of kids discover masturbation before they know what sex is, so that's not uncommon, but what makes me feel ashamed is that at the time I shared a room with my sister, and sometimes even a bed (if I was 6 she would have been around 4) and now I think, DOES THAT MEAN IM A PERVERT?? Again I was pre pubescent and had no sense of what sexual activity was or anything and was innocent, and only ever did this while everyone was asleep, but eventually my Mom found out and decided to give me "The Talk" (only the very, very basics at that point) when I was around 7, and said not to do it anymore because it was a sin, but i still did anyway, just got better at hiding it and we got separate beds on separate sides of the room so it was more private. I doubt my sister ever had any clue but I feel like I'm probably some kind if pervert because I didn't go into the bathroom or something where I could be alone.
