Are Children Physically Capable of Feeling Sexual Pleasure?

Obviously there isn't much academic literature on the subject, so I'm asking here. I was arguing with a friend about sexual morality and he basically said that children cannot feel any sexual pleasure until puberty. How do we know this? Is genital nerve development something that occurs during puberty? I'm not necessarily disagreeing but I don't see how that would work from a developmental standpoint.
