Need help

[hopeless10]

My 12 year old daughter has been showing signs of what appears to be uncontrolled orgasms.  It seems that most of her life she has been showing signs of this behavior.  What can I do to help her, and is this normal?

So the basic problem is compulsive masturbation. It would be prudent to have her evaluated by a child/adolescent psychiatrist. With medication, the urge to masturbate can be diminshed and then behavioral techniques, learned via therapy, will be more useful.

I guess the best way to decribe it is she has a urge to touch herself until she gets to that point. Its uncontrolled because she has done this ever since she was a young child. She won't talk about it when ask about it we have tried numerous approches to this problem she has been to a therapist but won't or says she dose'nt know why she does it. It has been a problem for her in school as well as home. Im at a loss of what I need to do Im her mom and I feel hopeless because everything Ive tried hasn't helped including sitting down and having the talk with her about the do's and dont's. She started middle school yesterday and Im very concerned with how she will do there. There has been no child abuse of any short which would have been any parents first concern. Hope this explains better.

Would you provide some more information. I'm not sure what to think based on your question alone. Whay is an 'uncontrolled orgasm'?
