Am I a sexual predator? 😭

Question

When I was about 6 and one of my other relatives was about 8 they showed me what masturbation was (not that I had any clue at the time) they showed me that if you put something on your vagina it would feel good. They demonstrated on themselves. I was 4years older than another one of my relatives, so they were probably just a toddler, about two, and I tried to show them, not knowing it was bad.  I put my foot on their downstairs and told them to put their foot on mine so I could show them. They didn't. Maybe two years after that my younger relative brought up the incident and I got mad. Now as an adult I feel like I'm a pedo or something for what I did and I feel weird around children because of my guilt. I would never hurt a child, I just feel like a monster for some reason. Should I? Should I bring up the situation to the relative? The guilt is eating me alive.

Accepted Answer

Noooo stop you're not a predator. Kids do weird shit. They're figuring their bodies out!!! You didn't even know what it was you were doing.

Answer

You were way too young to even really know what you were doing, you were a child yourself so no way at all are you a predator. If it bothers you so much you should talk to someone about it to help yourself

Answer

That's a tough one, I don't think you are one cause you were a child, kids are curious about everything and at that time you didn't know it was wrong. If the topic comes up again I would just explain that you didn't know it was bad and that as you got old you realized it and felt horrible but didn't know how to handle it ... I'm sure they will understand once you explain.

Answer

Oh my gosh, you are most certainly not a predator! You were a child. Kids are always doing wierd things because they're figuring out their bodies and they are curious. Two of my older female cousins did the same to me when i was younger. They called it 'experimenting' and they would make me do things to them and they would kiss each other and touch each other and make me watch. I was probably 6 or 7 and i had no idea until i was much older that it was wrong. But if its truely bothering you, talk to someone about it hun.

Answer

I feel like a weirdo cause when I was like 9 me and this girl my mom babysat went into a fort that we made and rubbed our bare asses together. For like a minute.. lmaoooo me and her went to high school together and I'm sure we both remembered but never brought up. not something I tell people cause it's weird shit and I have a bunch more weird shit that I refuse to even say. But don't worry everyone does something they regret during childhood lol it's life 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Answer

A lot of children under ten are chronic masturbaters because they're just exploring their body. However, I would have to wonder if the kid who showed you may have been sexually abused. Most kids don't know to put things in themselves, they just rub themselves or hump things. You're definitely not a pedophile. But if it's still worrying you, seek some therapy. Best of luck to you

Answer

I'm so glad you asked this because I've been through something similar as a kid, and I still feel awful and weird.

Answer

Therapy might be good for either or both of you. Obviously, you didn't know any better, so it isn't your fault. However, the thought still haunts you.

Answer

you were a child. no you are not a predator unless you're still showing little kids this.

Answer

no, you're not. you did not know it's intentions and you were a kid.
