Question
If a 10-year-old girl shows symptoms of precocious puberty, such as darkening of the labia color, increased vaginal discharge, itching, and resistance to sexual toys, accompanied by a desire to stay home more and an increased need for parents’ assistance, does this indicate that she might be going through the stage of precocious puberty?
Answer
From the perspective of psychoanalysis psychology, people are born with sexual desires, but the way they express them varies from person to person. The girl you mentioned is disgusted by sexual toys and makes cooing sounds, which suggests that she dislikes this form of expression and may be seeking other ways to satisfy her desires. This situation may indicate an abnormality in her psychological development, not just a problem of precocious puberty.
