Gender is certainly a factor—the most common sibling sexual abuse scenario is an older brother and a younger sister—but sibling sexual abuse can occur with any combination of sibling genders. My 24 year old son just shared he was molested by his brother when he was young His brother was 3 years older His brother passed in an auto accident 4 years ago My son gets anxious and has a hard time calming his brain He struggles with suicidal thoughts even though he knows he doesn’t want to hurt himself.
There is no clear age cutoff for siblings seeing each other naked, but deciding this is a key part of navigating puberty See what a child psychologist suggests. We were raised in a house that had a lot of pornography exposure (initiated by my father — my mother was dismayed) When i was around six, my older brother (who was around nine or 10 at the time) used to get me to play a game called ‘naughty exercises’ with him.
