This reminds me of something I did in my past.

I was about 15, just discovered I could pleasure myself. I was at my grandparents and was feeling in the mood, but I wanted some sort of lubricant to help me out.

My grandmother had a huge shelf of health and self care related products in the room I was staying in. Many of the items now that I think about it would've worked better than what I chose.

For some reason, my 15 year old brain decoded the best substitute for lube was Oragel, so I grabbed it put some up inside of myself. OH.MY GOD.

The pain I experienced after was nothing like I've experienced before, not only was my vagina numb it burned like hell.

Sounds like you were on the other end of the spectrum as masturbating in a sexual way at 10 years seems a bit early to me while still being in the absolutely normal to develop this interest at that age range.

Kids develop differently and their social circle and general surroundings have an influence on when they start being confronted with different topics. Hence yours and your friends' experience with discovering yourself was probably similar.

There is nothing weird, pure or innocent about when people hit puberty and how.

Puberty is a progress. and yes if you started to develop interests in actual masturbation at 8, then that was part of your puberty. As I said puberty is different for every kid. Sometimes the mind develops faster than the body. Starting puberty at 8 is not unheard of.

But maybe you also just all mirrored your surroundings even though you actually hadn't developed the sexual interest. That's also totally possible. I also watched porn once at that young age because we weren't allowed to. But it just weirded me out because I was too young to understand.

Some girls take longer to figure out the details, because female masturbation isn't really talked about. Kids know the "dude jerking off" motion before we even know what it means, but a woman's system is much less intuitive and harder to figure out on our own.
