description
Doctor games are widespread among children and are part of child development. They get to know each other curiously and mutually the otherwise invisible and thus unknown body parts. At the same time, they experience sexual feelings and learn to deal with them. Doctor games are also used to satisfy child sexual needs ( infantile sexuality ). The roles of “doctor” and “patient” help children overcome their fears about sexuality. The blind cow game often has an erotic component. Older children often play spin the bottle .
