Ultimately: probably fear of masturbation. People used to think it was immoral and harmful. Any symptoms you may have had would likely have been interpreted in that light (even if you weren't openly exploring your body, as most children do from time to time). Your mother might not have been consciously afraid of the 'harm' you could be doing to yourself, but it was cetainly part of the sociocultural landscape.
