Sexual Health
Do infants and young children also have sexual desire? Does physical contact increase sexual desire
Freudian theory tells us that after a person is born, their body has special parts such as the genitalia, which makes them feel particularly strong about sex. During the growth process, young children accidentally find these areas and stimulate them to bring pleasure. For a long time, they have loved these parts and become sexually sensitive areas.
Young children's bodies are in a state of confusion, and they are in a state of confusion. What are you doing?

Young children do not have true sexual desire or a sense of shame. In order to satisfy their curiosity, they often come into contact with places they feel abnormal. Therefore, for children around 1 year old, both men and women will touch their reproductive organs and other so-called masturbation phenomena. They don't mind showing off their genitals naked, they are curious to look at their own genitals and observe others' genitals.
As young children age and enhance their cognitive abilities, by the age of 4-5, they begin to discover gender differences between boys and girls and distinguish gender roles. Boys naturally believe that everyone has the same reproductive organs as themselves, but in reality, they find that there are no girls. After clarifying the differences between male and female genders, boys are proud of having a penis. Girls who like to play with their reproductive organs naked envy boys' penis, and they themselves do not have such reproductive organs
This type of young child's sexual psychology has two characteristics: spontaneity and curiosity. It is a spontaneous phenomenon for a boy to touch the penis with his hand, while a girl to touch the penis with a table corner or other object to produce pleasure. They like to see and interact with other reproductive organs of the same or opposite sex, or even display their own reproductive organs like children, and even play sexual contact games, which are guidance for curiosity. As they grow older, their curiosity and concern for sex will continue to be raised, such as various sexual questions such as birth and parental relationships.
