...See more I used to sexually experiment with a close friend throughout childhood. We used to play doctor which was pretty innocent at our younger years. But once we got into preteens and early teens we used to imitate sexual acts. Such as oral sex and rubbing our privates against one another simulating sexual intercourse. Never led to any penetration. Never really understood what intercouse was then. I feel really guilty due to the fact I'm 2 years older. I've spoke with her a few times about it. She seems to be very helpful and just chalking it up to being dumb kids. Said don't feel guiltity or no need to worry about it. Sometimes she said I talked her into it cause I was older but said it wasn't a big deal. Why can't I let this go. Should I be able to move on and not stress over it.

...See more When I was a child I used to experiment sexually with a family friend by playing doctor. Exploring gentials. I'm male she was female. As we grew older we had that connection and we started experimenting with oral sex and griding with our bottoms down mocking sexual acts. No penetration occured but was kinda sexual in nature. I never thought of this until a decade after it passed. We were two years apart and it lasted into our early teens. We were very close. I have spoke to her about this a couple times. She insists that we were just kids being kids. Didn't know any better. No bad feelings. Sometimes she said I may have pressured her some to participate but it's no big deal. She said it was mutual. Said there was no reason to worry or anything. Somehow I feel responsible because I was older. Is this activity normal among kids.
