Should I feel guilty for my sexual experience as a child?

When I was 8 or 9 I found porn after hearing my brothers and boys at school talk about it. My half brother was about 5 or 6 and we tried doing what I saw in porn, which I thought was just what everyone did. I remember putting his privates in my mouth but not for longer than 5 seconds and he also put his mouth on my privates. I was not even aware of where my “clit” was so he put his mouth above it. I got on top of him but there was no penetration. He also put his mouth on my breasts. I never meant it in a sexual way I just thought it was what the people in the videos were doing. Should I feel guilty?

ABSOLUTLY NO! Please do not feel guilty at all.
This sounds like childhood experimentation or role playing.
If you find yourself to continue feeling guilty please talk to a trusted adult or councillor, I am sure they will agree with me and say: It is completely normal DON'T worry about it.

When I got on top of him we tried “having sex.” I felt something hurt but then I stopped. Do you think it could’ve penetrated? With him being that young?
Hi Gabby,
I am just a father of three, so I can only give my perspective, I am not qualified to answer that. I can however tell you this:
I experienced similar things when I was about 10 y.o. Please do not feel guilty or think you are "bad" because of what was probably an innocent childhood experience. I can tell you, ALL children experiment with their genitals, its normal.
If this is troubling you, and it sounds like it is, PLEASE talk to someone, your parents, trusted teacher or councillor.
I promise you they will say the same, they may have even had similar experiences themselves. Its all part of growing up and learning what does what.  
Regards,
OAAT.
I completely agree with OAAT.   It is normal....relax.
