What was your attitude to masturbation as a teen?

And... Is the fact that you masturbated something that you discussed with friends (when you were a teen) or was it something that you keep to yourself?

Im pretty sure I started in 4th grade which coincided w/the introduction of sex ed. I dont know if they were related, but I definitely got interested in sex right about then!

I dont recall ever talking about it w/friends though. At least not until later and I dont think details were discussed.

It was something private I did and I think I was embarassed about it. Not until later did I realize theres nothing to be ashamed of.

I definitely had orgasms though because, ya know--that\\\'s what I was goin\\\' for, but not until later did I really figure out how to get myself off.

You might as well ask a teenage boy how he feels about oxygen.

highthief

Pretty much.

It was fun until I found out what it was simulating. I figured out really fast that going five against one really wasn't a viable alternative to vaginal intercourse, so I moved on. There really was only like a 3 month window.

I, too, am a big fan of oxygen.

I didn't start until I was a sophomore in high school. Even then, I was slightly embarrassed about it. I would make sure to be absolutely quiet so no one would suspect. Got over the embarrassment part pretty quickly.

Once I started getting off...I couldn't stop.

Still can't.

I liked it. I liked it a lot. So I kept doing it. Still do. Usually beats relationships.

I started masturbating when I was around 8. Never discussed it with anybody until I was in college, however, and still don't discuss it with most people IRL.

It's not usually a topic that just comes up. It's just a given that everybody does it, probably fairly regularly and sometimes with the use of toys and/or porn. *shrug* I don't see the point of discussion.

I remember the first time I jerked off. I did the hand motion in the air. Then wrapped my hand around my penis and made the same motion.

I came. I did it again 3 minutes later. I do it whenever I can.


My friends and I joked about it with each other. Never actually discussed it in depth. We where too busy skateboarding and actually getting pussy.

Teen? I wish. I didn't really think about masturbation until I was 22... but as soon as someone actually suggested it to me, I gave it a try. Haven't looked back since. Am actually quite bummed at the moment because my vibrator is broken. (When my husband isn't home.)

I started as a pre-teen before I could even ejaculate. I didn't discuss it with anyone until my 20s.

I've been at it literally as long as I can remember. So... my attitude as a teen was about like my attitude for every other stage of my life: let 'er rip!

thebeat

Honestly my attitude was usually, after I was done, I felt guilty, now I'm married and do it because I have too

Loved it then and love it now. It doesn't replace sex, it just works along side it. I had sex 3 times last night and I still beat off when I got home today.

LoganSnake

Seriously.

Teen? Ha! I started when I was 5 and my friends and I at the time discussed it in great detail.

I 2nd the request for oxygen. Hell going from a long distance relationship to what looks to be a long stretch of single (it always is for me), I am well acquainted with oxygen and will keep breathing every chance I get. Cause I realize holding my breath for the "real deal" is only gonna suffocate me. As for discussion, not really more than the topical male discussion one would expect.

Starkizzer

Technically babies masturbate before the ego kicks in...so I guess this post should really ask when did you consciously started doing it! lol
Well, I think I started like in 5th or 6th grade and continued on with out much success until my guy bought me my first vibe.

The first time I masturbated wasn't that odd.

Well, it wasn't that odd for me.

I think the rest of the choir were shocked, and the Bishop took a while to calm down.

Probably around 7th grade is when I was conscious that I was masturbating though I don't talk about it at school nor to friends. Just sounded stupid really. But I guess it's good when need to use all extra energy quickly. XP

PlanG

Probably about the start of secondary school (10ish).

I still am a teen though for a year and a bit, so I guess it's my current attitude.

Which is, I do it as frequently as I can while not getting caught disposing of bog roll in the toilet

With friends, we don't exactly exchange notes/tips, but sometimes it gets brought up in jokes etc.

JStrider

I dont even remember when I started... I know it was before I was able to ejaculate...

back then it was cant do it too much... unless it bleeds... then it was too much... now its still a lot but not quite on the same level.


and the only conversation that was more serious then jokes was amongst a group of my friends, and some how it came out that one of our buddies masterbated by holding the end of his penis and making a stirring motion (think stirring a pot) instead of the normal stroking motion...

I started when I was probably about 11. At the time, it was considered taboo for a girl to masturbate. If you told your friends they would probably start screaming "EW!"

However, I never really thought of sex or any sexual act that way. I started having sex at a really young age.

I didn't do it too often, but I didn't hate it. I just used sex mostly for other reasons at that age, not for pleasure, so I didn't do it that often.

i started when i was in 8th and ive been addicted ever scince to jacking and porn.

I'm going to go with greatest thing...ever.

I guess I was 9? I discovered it when I was in the bathtub one day and water from the faucet ran over my clitoris. I started rubbing there and that was it. I really didn't understand what I was doing, though, until I was a couple of years older.

I felt guilty about it once I learned what it was that I was doing. My parents were quite fundamentalist in every sense of the word. I'm so glad I got over their fundie hangups.

I didn't discuss it with my friends for the most part, although I do remember a few sleepover experiments.

Congratulations! Except that your location says "hella" I might not believe you. ...
My circumstances have led me to.

medlar

And I can answer that. It is a necessity.


Started at an early age, particularly around the age of nine when a girl I used to know (a year older then myself) used to always ask me to take a piss in front of her. Why, I don't know..I finally gave in and we carried this on until one day some old lady caught me watering the wall and shouted "You clarty little brute". Up until then it was great fodder to fap on.

I never have discussed any manner of self gratification with any friend, save my g/f but then she reckons i shouldn't have to resort to it now I'm with her.

It was and is always a private matter I take to hand needing at least five minutes before anyone attempts to knock on my door.

What else can I say but it is masturbate or play soccer. And soccer is seasonal, a good wank is everday

Jetée

Great tie to the Oxygen.

What, didn't every girl do that, growing up? (Sleepover experiments.) I sure did.

If by crazy shit, you mean try to figure out where the girls were having their sleepover so that we could go observe, then yes, we did.

That is fricking hilarious.

I mean, personally, I am talking about sleepovers from age 7 to 12 or so, were the guys really that excited about pre-pubescent spying?
