Self sexual pleasure is totally normal

Jerkin’ the gherkin, clicking the mouse, masturbating. If your child is curious about (or already exploring) self-pleasure it’s time to get serious, informed and have an age-appropriate discussion with your child.

Masturbate = educate

Learn the proper terms for body parts and teach that masturbation is for pleasure, and private. With tips to help you navigate the discussion, this crash course helps you inform and empower your child’s sexual development journey.

Be their source of information

Curious kids Googling “what is masturbation?” Not the best idea – or fact source. Watch this crash course and know how to begin open, honest and sensitive conversations with your child about masturbation. Teach them the facts in a way that suits your values and beliefs. Equip them with the information to safely chart their own pleasurable course.

Healthy, normal sexual development

It’s healthy for your child to do some self-exploration, sexually. Masturbation and self-touch are part of understanding boundaries, pleasure and consent. From sexual anatomy terms to body image and beyond, this course explores it all sensitively and factually so you can understand how masturbation fits into your child’s development.

A very useful course, thank you!

My daughter is 6 years old. Masturbation is a delicate subject and it is not easy to talk about it with friends or family, even with the doctor, because masturbation in young children triggers alarms and they think there may be abuse. So I thank you for this course, so well explained. My mother tongue is not English, but this course explains things clearly, in a simple and practical way, with tips and resources. With this course I understood that masturbation in young children is not so rare, I learnt how to deal with it and I felt understood and relieved knowing that there are more parents worried about this. Again, thank you.

Thank goodness for Cath at SexEd Rescue

Cath has provided invaluable insight & signposting for a really tricky situation! I’d be a hysterical hot mess without her guidance & support. I am so grateful for her work in this field!
Buy the course. It’s money well spent.
There’s a clue in the name, “SexEd rescue”. Cath really is the SexEd safety net for bewildered patents.

Excellent advice from an expert

I loved Cath’s class because it gave me permission to lean into my instincts and relax around some of the things that were coming up in my household. I also greatly appreciated how much explicit attention Cath gave to neurodivergent children. She even provided more resources to follow up with if I chose to (which I did). Her class had made my life much easier. Very accessible in many different formats and I can easily share with my husband. Thank you, Cath!

Let the fun times begin!

I purchased this resource to educate myself after my 5 yo discovered that shower stream feels nice down there. The next day the conversation was so easy for me, I knew what to say and how much detail to give. Cath’s language is accessible down to earth Aussie, I felt like I was sitting across her talking about it.
I’ve purchased other items from her store and
reading/watching them felt more at ease with the most difficult conversations around sex and bodies. I would recommend Cath and her knowledge for anyone wanting to provide their children with the right/accessible information so they can thrive in life confident in their bodies and loving themselves. Thank you Cath. You’ve made my job as a mum much easier.

Helpful information, but inconsistent in one major area.

I found the masterclass to be thorough and centered on developing a healthy sense of autonomy and self-exploration for children. One aspect that was confusing was that Cath repeatedly went over the importance of kids understanding that masturbation is something that they must only do in private- which I agree, is critical- yet she also said that kids masturbating with each other is totally normal and "okay" so long as they aren't touching each other. While curiosity and exploration might be developmentally expected, children need clear and consistent boundaries around privacy so that they are not vulnerable to sexual abuse by peers or adults.

Hi Ariel, and thanks for bringing that up! I have gone back into the Masterclass and have found what you are referring to.
There is a section (WHO masturbates and how this behaviour changes as your child grows up - What is developmentally appropriate behaviour?) that talks about the sexual behaviours a child may display as they grow up.
I have used a European tool and they explain that children may want to masturbate with others, and if they do it is seen as being developmentally approriate behaviour, as long as they are only masturbating themselves and not touching other people's penises.
So... this is where it starts to get confusing, as just because a behaviour is seen as being age-appropriate, it doesn't mean that we let them keep on doing it. We would discourage it and ensure they know it is a private thing (not public).
I'll jump into the Masterclass and add a note into this section of the readable notes.
I hope this makes sense! Cheers, Cath
