I listen to her podcast, and she makes fun of her younger self a lot, so I wouldn't be surprised if this is true. She tells a story about how she masturbated all of the time in the living room as a 9 year old and her family wouldn't say anything, and now she's mortified they never told her to stop humping the couches.

edit: and by younger self, I mean the first 46 years of her life

At 9 years old? Yikes. My social worker friends would have opinions on that.

really? i thought that was pretty normal lol

[skyler_white_yo]

Maybe I’m not the normal one. I had what I thought was a normal curiosity about my body at that age, but I wasn’t humping the couch all the time.

dont do this shit, we get shamed enough for being sexual beings as children, let alone girls.

[skyler_white_yo]

My comment was aimed at my thought that a 9 year old engaging in behaviors ahead of their years struck me as odd. Apparently from the other comments, humping couches at 9 is more common than I thought, so I guess it’s not as big of a yikes as my initial reaction.

If it came off as me slut shaming a child, that was not my intent.

[slaughtermatic]

thats okay, sorry to sound harsh, its just me projecting frustration with how dicovering certain things for yourself alone at a young age quickly turns to dark themes and its an age where you have weak memories so its a slippery slope. ive witnessed fellow teachers behave so weirdly about normal exploration and shame kids. :\ its hard to know what normal development is and I get it, just maybe lets not go to such hasty conclusions so fast.

[skyler_white_yo]

You weren’t being harsh, sometimes I need to be reminded that I should think before I type. I’m no child development expert, so I probably shouldn’t have commented to begin with.

[slaughtermatic]

totally, my comment was so poorly worded as well bc its more comfort and just finding stuff out abuut your nerve endings and rarely being "sexual" in that sense as a kid, which is why you often dont get that its a private thing until someine explains. were all having a long night lol.

[lolzerz]

were we all humping couches when we were a kid? ive told a few friends by now that i used to hump on the arm of our couch not knowing why it felt so good, and theyre always like yeah, sames.
at least i knew it was taboo enough to do it when no one was around tho. some friends said they did do it front of their family lmfao.

[ohhhmydarling]

This is so accurate.
