Punished for masturbating?

I will start by saying I was fairly immune to any kind of punishment for being caught masturbating. Nothing was going to deter me from beating off any moment I could. I guess you can say that I was humiliated more than punished, as my mother would bring it up in random conversations while chatting to people in the street, neighbors and even one of my teachers. I think that once I started to play with myself nothing was going to stop me finishing, and my mother would routinely caught me in the bathroom, in my bedroom, in the garden playing with myself. for me it was a risk worth taking.

When younger i never masturbated . I was always masturbated with a hanky to stop mess . My favourites became the lace hankies . When older and moving out to work i worked for my landlady who would leave a couple of her hankies under my pillow each night to cum into and not in my bedding .

No!

Luckily not. I’ve been caught (at least I think) but because of quick reaction and good hiding it never became a discussion topic. I also think that my parents would ignore or encourage it, not punish for it as long as it’s done in an appropriate location.

Probably because of the manner in which sex education is sensibly approached in the Dutch school system. Pretty down to earth and realistic.

None of that Abstinence Only nonsense.

I realize that my "No!" answer was a bit terse. So, yes I've been caught a couple times by mom, and, although she clearly disapproved, she did not punish me or threaten anything.

Seems to me that I heard somewhere that an unknown church taught that masturbating would cause you to go blind. If that is the case, I better apply for a seeing eye dog right away. Denise

To which the standard response is ....well then can I just do it till I need glasses?"

My parents never punished me for that. they said it was a normal thing to do when growing up to learn about yourself and help you to grow.
