And in terms of masturbation, she said: "Boys are definitely more comfortable talking about it."
"But when we're talking about self-pleasure and what it's like, and what might feel good for a person who has a vulva or a penis, it's really important for the person of the opposite gender I guess, can have an idea of what it might be like."
"Because sometimes we're talking to young girls and they're being really badly hurt by their partners who don't understand you have to be quite gentle with that part of the body. Physically hurt. Where their vagina might be bruised or cut even."
"Sometimes they just don't want to make their partner feel bad because they don't want to embarrass them so they don't say anything. What we do, it's really about giving people the skills so they can say, 'This is what I like and this is what I don't like' and how to communicate that."
However, viewers were NOT happy, and used Twitter to show it!
One tweeted: "Eight year olds do not need to be taught to masturbate!!! Let them enjoy their innocence until high school at least."
Another added: "Omg #ThisMorning no thank you, do not want my young child to learn about masturbation - can you let children be children please!"
