You will be shocked to find that babies already have "sexual awareness"!

Consciousness can be divided into conscious and subconscious. Do infants (0 to 1 years old) have sexual awareness? The answer is yes, but it is more in the subconscious category. Because the brain nerve structure of infants is not yet fully developed, it is impossible for them to have independent thinking, let alone direct sexual desires like adults. But this does not mean that babies have no sexual desire, it’s just that the way they express it is different from adults.

The famous psychoanalyst Freud believed that sexual desire refers to the pleasure that comes from the human body, no matter where the pleasure comes from or what organ it comes from. It can come from the lips, skin, anus, or genitals. The ways and parts of obtaining this pleasure vary at different stages of development. Babies feel a sense of pleasure when sucking their mother's nipple. Freud called this pleasure from the lips oral sexuality and believed that it was a manifestation of sexual desire in breastfeeding infants. In daily life, we can occasionally see such a phenomenon: a few months old baby boy will have a spontaneous erection of the penis while breastfeeding. As the frequency of sucking increases, the baby's face becomes red and the muscles of the whole body contract rhythmically, followed by a sense of relaxation and tranquility after satisfaction. The whole process is very similar to the sexual excitement response process of an adult. There have also been reports of increased vaginal discharge and rhythmic vaginal contractions in female infants that resemble a sexual response. This may horrify parents. Do babies also have sexual desire? It is hard to believe if you don't see it with your own eyes! As for those seven or eight month old babies who intentionally or unintentionally touch their genitals to masturbate and do some leg-clenching movements, it is even more common.

Based on the above facts, some people believe that infants have sexual awareness. Human sexual psychology development is completed in several stages, and each stage has different characteristics. This reminds us that a newborn baby should not only be taken good care of in daily life, but also be given more love. There is no doubt that the need for love is very important for children's growth and development. If a baby only gets food but not the necessary love, his development will be obviously affected, his mental and emotional maturity will be delayed, and he will have personality deviations in the future, such as loneliness, timidity, inferiority, depression, etc. These have been scientifically confirmed.
