New market: Porn and arousal tools for babies.

Infants masturbate? huh? Did I miss out on something when I was an infant? I wish I could remember. I'll just assume I did it 12 times a day. That sounds about right.

Infant Masturbation Often Misdiagnosed
By LiveScience Staff

Masturbation in infant girls sometimes leads to doctor visits because parents think the children have a movement disorder, a new study finds.

After sometimes invasive testing and medication, the neurologists discovered the symptoms were actually normal muscle contractions that accompany masturbation.

Infant boys who masturbate don't end up at the doctor as often, Mink figures, because the action in boys is more recognizable: They tend to touch their genitals. Girls don't necessarily directly touch their genitals when masturbating. An episode may begin in a car seat or high chair where straps place pressure on the genital area, or they may start when a child is tired or bored.

And what I find really funny is that the researcher is encouraging parents to video tape the episodes! Nothing like filming your kids having a private session. I feel bad for the poor chap(s) that gets accused of pedophilia.

Mink says pediatricians should ask parents to video-tape the episodes before performing invasive and often expensive tests that could be unnecessary.
