In this episode, Brigham Elton and Andrea Rose explore the complexities of masturbation and self-touch in post-pubescent youth. They discuss the different types of self-touch, how parents and therapists typically respond, and the importance of separating exploration, self-soothing, and sexual fantasy. The conversation offers practical advice for parents on how to approach these topics with openness, empathy, and a focus on shaping healthy beliefs rather than simply correcting behaviors.
