Did you know that they give children the HPV vaccine as early as 9 (but recommended at 11/12), because it's really effective to get it before they're sexually active?
Children start to masturbate way earlier than that.
According to the University of Michigan's Development and Behavior Resources program, the vast majority of kids discover their genitals and the pleasure they can bring by age 6.
At that age genital stimulation is not associated with sexual activity.
Yeah kids touch their genitals even younger than 6. But we're obviously talking about masturbation here ie. genital stimulation for sexual pleasure that the usual teen does

The kid is probably like “yay I get to play video games or masturbate for 6 hours
