Masturbating before puberty vs after

Does anyone have a counterexample of being thunderstruck by a real orgasm well before puberty?

Dry orgasms are real orgasms. The same nerve endings and muscles and other things are at work. It's just that until puberty, you don't simultaneously ejaculate mature semen containing actual sperm.

I started masturbating from age 4 (maybe even earlier). I didn't have any orgasms before puberty but masturbating back then was just something that felt good. I eventually learned it was something done in private so I did it regularly in my room or while taking a bath. After puberty, for me at least, masturbating was to be able to have an orgasm, that release, and feeling good and reset afterwards. I think I saw masturbating as sexual when I saw a porn magazine for the first time and learned about sexual intercourse (both were around the same time age 11). Between ages 10 to 18, masturbating was actually painful as I was suffering from mild phimosis.

At age 11 my 12 year old cousin told me about masturbation.. and even showed me how he did it.. it was strangely exiting to watch and I began to get an erection. He was an early bloomer and already had pubic hair and had a much bigger penis than I did. I tried to stroke my penis but nothing was happening for me.. conversely, my cousin gave out a moan and stuff squirted from his cock. He said it felt soooo good.

About a month after that I was sitting on the edge of the bathtub stroking my little gerkin with two fingers and my thumb… it felt good.. a delightful sensation was emanating from my penis.. the all of a sudden the feeling got very intense and my penis was throbbing uncontrollably.. I couldn’t stop it . I was scared that I broke something in me. I lost my balance sitting on the edge of the tub and fell back into it hitting my head.. I didn’t even feel that.. just this incredible, wonderful feeling spreading throughout my body. It still scared me though. Well the fear must have subsided because later that day I tried it again. Oh my! It happened again only this time I wasn’t scared and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

It became a daily habit after school and at night in bed. I was having dry orgasms so there was no cleanup to worry about..

So in closing.. yes with that first orgasm I felt surprised and thunderstruck. At age 76 now, I look back in fond memory of that day.

I think I started touching myself for pleasure around the age of 4 but puberty completely changed how masturbation felt and my intentions while doing it.

When I was young I rubbed myself because it felt nice and I stopped when I either got distracted or bored or interrupted. It was like a constant nice feeling.

Around the start of puberty my body started giving me the urge to masturbate like it has been said previously, and I guess I started to feel desire to do it rather than just doing it because I had nothing else I’d rather play with.

Along with that change in urge, my intentions while doing it changed. It no longer felt like a constant nice feeling, but more like a compounding/ building nice feeling. Like a kettle boiling, the longer it went on the more intense it felt and the more I wanted to feel it. I had never felt that when I was little.

Beautiful answer, @Mrssnipgirl !! Your answer exactly addresses what I’ve wondered all these years. Thank you! If your world travels ever take you to the eastern U.S. please look me up!

I visited a friend in which we ended up tent camping at his friend's house. They both insisted that I sleep between them. The orgasm I had was so intense, it woke me up. That's when I could feel my buddie's friend pumping my cock with his fingers between my cock and the tent floor. I was so young, nothing came out and for a long time I would masterbate in the tub by pressing my fingers on my shaft. This went on until I figured out how to use my hand to stroke it. When I go older, the stuff would cum out, however I do not think the orgasm was any different.

I started humping my mattress around age 8 and found out I could get an orgasm if I humped long enough, of course I didn't know it was an orgasm. I just knew if I kept humping I got a nice tingling feeling and I would pee a little which I liked. Then of course at age thirteen I had my first ejaculation thought I had injured myself or had an infection.

I first discovered masturbation when I was 10 and my grandparents were visiting and were given my room as I had a double bed. I got to sleep on the sofa bed in the family room and was having difficulty trying to fall asleep. I tossed and turned and eventually rolled over on my penis and it stiffened. That felt good so I continued to rub my penis into the mattress. It felt amazing, until I was overcome by the most intense high I had ever experienced. I rolled onto my back and began to feel sleepy. I decided to try this again the next night and the next. Eventually I found that humping a pillow was an improvement over the mattress, and that if I thought about such things as bare bottoms, rectal temperatures, and spankings, while rubbing my penis, the arousal was intensified. This first happened when I was in the 5th grade, and it wouldn't be until 7th grade health class that I found out what I was doing. I don't remember talking about masturbation in class, but the textbook that we used had a section on it.

I am not exactly sure when puberty started. Pubic hair came around my 12th birthday and my first wet orgasm was just before I turned 13. I don't believe the wet orgasms were any more intense than the dry ones were. Orgasms would be more intense if there had been significant time between masturbating. When we went on family vacations I would not have enough privacy to masturbate so the longer the vacation, the more intense that first orgasm was when I returned to the privacy of my own bedroom.

I had forgotten that, years ago, my good friend @littlepatient had also answered the very question I asked here in starting this thread.

With apologies for quoting from one of your posts, Littlepatient, without asking you first, you once wrote that “I was definitely not yet in puberty once I got hooked (my puberty started only 2 years later when I was 12+) so apparently it does not take puberty to discover masturbation =) … But even though it all started well before my puberty, onset of puberty clearly had an effect and the felt need probably doubled if not tripled around age of twelve…”

This is so interesting a topic!

I really do not remember at what age I started! Have been doing it for as long as I can remember. Had to be at a very early age! I remember doing it with a neighborhood girl whenever we had the chance as pre-teenagers!

For me, I started masturbating from age 4 (possibly younger). Back then it was pleasurable to just roll back the foreskin. It was such an intense feeling. We’d have off days during elementary school (ped days) where I would be in my room gently caressing my penis. Once puberty hit, I did start to have orgasms and ejaculate. The penis was bigger and harder than before puberty. However, it was more painful to stroke it as I was suffering from mild phimosis.

Masturbating before puberty was less messy in that I just experienced the sensation of a climax.

Orgasm through masturbation before puberty wasn't really different from orgasm after puberty; - However, I was somewhat surprised when, after puberty, I suddenly had my first ejaculation while masturbating and sprayed my semen in all directions....

I remember masturbating about the time of puberty, but not before. The first time I had an orgasm I think I was around 12. I was playing in a warm tub that I had drained the hot water from. I would soap-up the bottom of the tub, and slide up and down on my stomach with a thermometer or something else in my butt. It felt so good, and after a few times I had my first orgasm. After that I learned to do it in my bed, face down, sliding my dick back and forth using spit, always with an RT. Unfortunately, once I grew more pubic hair, this method became impossible. Eventually all I had to do was think about a girl’s butt, and I would start salivating my masturbation lube profusely.

There was a house down the street with a big family, and I was friends with a boy my age. He had three younger sisters that I would fantasize about when masturbating, imagining that their mother (who was very old-fashioned) would lay them all down and pull-down their pajama bottoms to their knees, and pull-up their tops to mid-back. After that, she would check their temperature and give them an enema one-by-one. Lying on my stomach with an RT, I would imagine that either I was one of them, or that I was peeping through the window watching this. One of my favorite fantasies at the time.

I can recall masturbating when I was around six. It was a pleasurable sensation. I doubt I reached orgasm at that age and, of course, wasn't able to ejaculate. By the time puberty arrived I masturbated to orgasm and began to ejaculate as well.

I have no recollection of masturbating before puberty. I do think that I began to have wet dreams around the age of 12 and began to notice morning erections as well that led to more day time erections. I discovered masturbation accidentally when rubbing my penis while lying on my belly in bed. Doing so cause an eruption that I didn't understand, that is, ejaculation of semen. I feared that I was injured until I later learned what had happened as a consequence of a physical exam with my doctor.
