I am a female.I started masturbating before many guys did.I was 5 years old. So why do people think guys start earlier? Women even develop earlier.

Girls start much earlier than guys, anyone that thinks otherwise has never talked to a sexually active girl about her childhood

who's everyone? I disagree that "people" think guys masturbate before girls.

It is completely natural for girls to masterbate as early as 3-4 years-old, and to continue doing so throughout life. Those who think guys start earlier are simply poorly-informed.

Women do indeed start much earlier because they are much earlier quite sensitive.
So it is not at all surprising that very young girls can already have very intense feelings while boys start much later.
I think the first feelings I had about the age of 10 or even 12.

goog lord i didn;t start till i was like 12

I think guys are just more willing to readily admit it,than girls are.

some people have sensitive genitalia. If the situation is right they could be having orgasms way before pubety and not really know it. I did and they were long lasting before there was ejaculate. Those days I rarely came out of my room. The first time I was with a girl she was a lot like me. WE were sweethearts for years. I saw her last year at a reunion and is noe a biblethumper. However she wanted me to visit her and her husband. It was a real bummer. She forgot (she says ) our childhood. I never will/ She is in my dreams always.

I started at 7 with ejaculate. Most women are affraid to admit it and the others are more button down. Think about it, a guy will yank it out infront of anyone while a chick won't.

I'm a guy, and I discovered masturbation and experienced my first orgasm at age 5. i gave myself the 'special feeling', as I called it, quite regularly thereafter. I've had girlfriends who also experienced their first orgasm at that age, or younger, and I've had girlfriends who didn't start masturbating until their teen years. I think that it's common for both boys & girls to figure it out well before puberty.
