I don't remember the first time I started masturbating. I have always known how to pleasure myself in a sexual way, so I obviously started a long time ago, before I was 5 or so. For the longest time, I would masturbate by shaping my blanket in a peculiar way and screwing it.
I do remember the first time I ever ejaculated. When I was in the seventh grade (around '87 or so), I had, coincidentally, snuck a
Club magazine from my father's room to look at. I was masturbating while looking at the pictures and was surprised to see that, in this magazine, there were (occasionally) men posing with the women. Before then, I was used to magazines like
Playboy or
Penthouse, which featured only women in various forms of undress (only much later did I learn that Penthouse also had male models but they were occasional back then). It really turned me on to see a man having sex with a sultry (and well endowed) woman. The accompanying text even detailed how they couldn't photograph the actual penetration but that the models were so hot that they really wanted to have sex and did right after the shoot was over. I was vicariously fucking the girl through the photographs and ejaculated into my blanket. Oh, how I was so jealous of that male model!
I was surprised to find semen in my blanket but it was obvious what it was, having taken sex-ed many years earlier. Strangely (or, perhaps not so strangely, I don't really know), it was my first sign of puberty. I had no body hair, no cracking voice, and no growth spurts, that I can recall. I did have some severe chapping in my groin area but it went away after I started growing pubic hair (does anyone remember that?!).
I now have a copy of that issue of Club, out of nostalgia. I found it in a used book store quite some while ago.
Here's a picture of the front cover...
