CHILDHOOD SEXUALITY: INFANT-INFANT SEXUAL ENCOUNTERS
Infant-infant sexual encounters are fairly uncommon, partly because of the infant’s lack of mobility. However, the older infant who is one or two years of age and old enough to crawl or walk is capable of initiating various encounters. It was reported of Louis XIII’s carefully observed permissive infancy, for instance, that “he throws down little Marguerite, kisses her, throws himself on her . . .” (as reported in Hunt). The Israeli kibbutz is a setting which allows for intimate encounters (Kaffman). The kevutza is a bisexual children’s peer group that has common living and sleeping quarters—boys and girls who are one through five years of age sleep in the same room, shower together, go to the toilet together, and often run around together before getting dressed in the morning or after being undressed in the evening. Intimate encounters include different activities. In a group of children with a mean age of two years, it was found that the most frequent expression consisted in a simple embrace of one child by another, followed in frequency by stroking or caressing, kissing, and touching the genitals. In some previously unpublished data, Kinsey records instances of cuddling and kissing encounters between infants two years of age or less.
