Who taught you to Masturbate?

I learned about it on the first day of 6th grade on the first day of Sex Ed class. I went home after school, went into my bedroom, closed my door, and said to myself 'I'm going to try that'.

I few minutes later I had a WTF!!! just happened! moment.

I don't remember anyone ever telling me anything about the mechanics of masturbation. The shower I used growing up had a handheld head, and i remember at some point I figured out that the massage setting on it made me feel funny when I sprayed parts of me. I'm pretty sure I discovered orgasms using that method before i was able to ejaculate. Years later I discovered a mechanical massager and started using that in bed. i didn't start using my hand until I went off to college and suddenly the noise of the massager became a concern.

As a youngster I would try laying on anything that felt nice. I very rarely masturbated by using my hands. It does surprise me the number of men who only know how to achieve self orgasm by rubbing their penis with their hands! Didn't they experiment at all when it first started to happen ??

I was taught to masturbate by some of my friends. We would sit around on certain days in jh pe and talk about it and finally one day after school I decided to go into the bathroom and try it, I would get close on some occasions and then finally i came and it was amazing. Before I was able to cum I would get hard and masturbate by reading the instructions on how girls put a tampon in and picture a hot young girl letting me watch her put one in or I would think about a girl I thought was hot. Later on once my 2 younger brothers were old enough I showed them how to masturbate and even got to see my youngest brother cum for the first time and watched porn with both of them once they were older.

Self taught--first arousal from lying naked on the floor and stacking heavy books on top of myself, believe it or not

I can fully understand the books concept as I used to like squashing mine between the pages of heavy books.

A book, and trial and error. After reading a paperback book called "Boys & Sex" at about age 13 (my father's idea), I got really curious. The book had suggestions on several ways to do it.

The problem was, we were living in a small apartment at the time, while our house was being built...so I would wait until the TV was on nice and loud in the living room, and Mom was making noise in the kitchen, to lock myself in the hallway bathroom. I'd drop my pants and underwear down to my knees and tug away, which felt good, of course, but it didn't bring me to a climax. I'd never had one, at that point. I tried sneaking in Playboy centerfolds, hidden in my pants, but something about the whole atmosphere, with my family talking just a few feet away, just didn't put me in the right mood.

I decided to try another of the book's suggestions. I hid a bath towel in my bed, in the room I shared with my brother. I stayed awake that night until I could hear from his breathing that he was asleep, then pulled my pajama pants and underwear off, lay face down with the towel under my belly, penis and thighs, kind of enjoying the feeling of the cool night air on my bare hips, and the secret nature of what was happening, and I quietly started thrusting.

The rough texture of the towel gave a sweet friction to it all, and as I rocked my hips back and forth, trying to keep the squeaking in the bed to a minimum, I thought about a magazine I'd seen with Vampirella. I imagined waiting until she was sleeping, then slipping her huge breasts out of that skimpy outfit, one at a time, and kissing and sucking on what I was sure would be dark nipples. I didn't really know what any of this would feel like, but I'd seen some x-rated comics with guys doing stuff like this with naked and mostly naked women, and I'd always gotten hard while reading them.

As my thrusts got harder and an instinctive rhythm took over, I fantasized about doing the rest of what I'd seen the cavemen in one of those comics do with (mostly willing) 20th Century girls in cut-off shorts...getting on top of Vampirella, pulling her outfit away from her bare pussy, feeling my pubic hair press into hers, and pressing my cock into her.

Suddenly, I started breathing hard, and the thrusts got harder in a rhythm that knew its own way. I felt intense tingling warmth spread from my hips across my back and legs, my ears were ringing, and I could feel something warm spurting from my cock.

I remember after the orgasm faded, being a little in shock, and feeling the slick wetness, thinking, "I could be a father now."

I rested a little, listening for any signs I'd awakened anyone else (all clear), then used the rest of the towel to clean up, hid it under my bed for the moment, and got back into my underwear.

Though thrusting into a bed and towel turned out to be my favorite way (stronger orgasms), I tried a few other things from the book. Putting a lubricated finger in my rectum while jerking off, for example, but I soon learned I preferred lubricated toothbrush handles and candles.

And never say never... The author of the book claimed that most boys at some point try to put their own penises into their mouths, but for 98% of teens, this is anatomically impossible.

I guess I'm in the 2%. ?

I loved the feeling of sucking on my own cock, but I never ejaculated that way. A few years later, my girlfriend at the time took care of that.

I thought about a magazine I'd seen with Vampirella. I imagined waiting until she was sleeping, then slipping her huge breasts out of that skimpy outfit, one at a time, and kissing and sucking on what I was sure would be dark nipples. I didn't really know what any of this would feel like, but I'd seen some x-rated comics with guys doing stuff like this to naked and mostly naked women, and I'd always gotten hard while reading them.

My favorite comic character when i was a teen was Valentina, an Italian strip with a heroine based on the looks and hairstyle of Louise Brooks. I knew Vampirella from comic mags also, but she never spoke to my erotic imagination as Valentina did. There was lots of imagining going on in my head with her looks in mind ... 😃 😃

In fact, as I (more or less) matured and started recognizing what my physical and esthetic tastes were, I concluded that Valentina's look with the classic bob haircut, has remained with me today. My absolute favorite hairstyle on a lady, I'm still a sucker in my mind ...

I learned by myself. I remember was about 8 or 9 years old and i got an erection at school while copying something from the blackboard. The teacher was going to erase and i became anxieted that i didn't finished copying the stuff. All of sudden i got an dry ejaculation. It was wierd.

I was about 4 or 5, and staying the night at my friend's apartment. He had a 7 year old sister, and when I went to the bathroom late at night, I heard weird noise from her room. I peeked in and seen her naked on the bed, enthusiastically humping a stuffed animal. I recall watching for about 15 or 20 minutes, and recall the erection I got, which to me was huge (for my age), and hard as a steel bar. I watched her and listened with interest to the sounds she was making, which indicated great pleasure. I looked at my penis, and watched it bob. After a time she finally stopped, and I hurried to bed to try this new idea on a stuffed animal myself. I humped a stuffed animal very much and after a few minutes it began, a building in my crotch to an intensity I never expected, and started spasming and making funny noises myself, and it was too intense but I didn't want to stop, either, so I stood up, watched my penis stiffen up and squirt a little pee out. I recall little pelvic jerks and noises I made, then got back on the stuffed animal to finish my orgasm. I slowed down then did it again, maybe 5 more times, humping like the girl did, understanding why she made the noises she did, because I was making them. Finally I went to sleep. But I certainly made a regular practice of humping pillows, mattresses, the ground, whatever. I did get caught, however, my mother coming in to observe me humping and ready to orgasm, and she proceeded to beat the bejezus out of me, including my still-erect and orgasming penis.

Myself with assistance from the letters to Penthouse magazine.

I was 8, and he was 18. He asked if I knew what "beat your meat was?" I did, but I told him "no." He showed me.

I can remember when I first masturbated pre puberty I never had any thoughts of girls or women and I would often do it on a rough towel but in those days it would not have made any mess. To me it was just something naughty and rude to do that felt good. I think it was a few years later when I thought about sex when I masturbated That was whe I started ejaculating.

Self taught at a very young age...not that I had any idea of what it was that I was doing other than it felt really good!

No one. Is anyone taught to masturbate? It's a solo thing.

I sort of discovered it on my own, serendipity style, not knowing what I was doing.

But that aside, of course many people learn about masturbation from others. Just read the many accounts here, examples enough. And you can make the argument that if you learn it by reading in a book or from sex ed class, then you were also taught, albeit in a roundabout, secondhand way.

I wonder now that the question was asked, what the proportion is between self-discovery or through the help of others? Intuitively, I'd say that more kids learn about masturbation through the help of others, than discover it own their own. And I say this because that is how most human skills and learning is acquired: by teaching, by the passing on of knowledge.

Religious family, so no one.

Eventually learn't to masturbate in my twenties.

For some reason I don't recall how or when I learned to jack off, but I do remember my buddy and I were fucking in the shower at summer camp before we knew how to jack off. And that was even before we knew what a blow job is. We thought it had something to do with blowing. Live and learn.

I was taught by several boys... As a precursor when i was 7 a boy was over from school we got dirty, he was 8 and my mom made us bathe together... he said lets screw... which he explain was sitting on our dicks..., him sitting on me was fun but I loved him in me. When I was 8 and had another friend over and we had to bathe together i said lets screw instead of the fun sitting on each other he squirted soap on his hand and started to stroke. Not as fun but I had learned you could have fun alone in a bath tub...when i was 10 and the pastors son who was 13 was over he showed me the classic jerking off and i was glad to learn it needn't be restricted to the bath.

I discovered masturbation on my own. A slightly older uncle taught me some refinement. Masturbation is a fairly solo act.

I was 15 and a girlfriend taught me during a sleepover, she was 17.

Shortly after I started sleeping naked I was in bed and got a woody. The sheets brushed up against my head and it tickled. I liked it so I did it again, and again. It didn't, take long till I came.

I liked it so I did it again and again....

I learned it from my schoolmate Harry when I was about 9 years old and in the 5th grade, I was still pre-pubescent at the time and I guess the orgasm feeling was there but the orgasm wasn't. At the time I never knew what it was. Ah. the sweet innocence of youth.! 😄

Myself. I seem to remember being very, very hard and playing with it cuz it felt good. when i came i was amazed at the feeling.

We were on vacation in NYC when I was 10 and staying with relatives or something like that. My girl cousin married the brother of the man we were staying with but my half sister who is from my father's first wife knew them from years before so I don't know the relationship. I had to sleep with his youngest son who was about my age for the two weeks we were there. He just grabbed my penis the first night we were in bed and showed me what he could do with it. That became a feel good ritual for the rest of our stay. He liked playing with me because I had a foreskin and I thought his bare dry knob was neat so we did a lot of pumping. Of course we both shot blanks at that age so we could go as many times as we felt without any mess to deal with. I had a nephew who was 6 months younger and his brother was 2 years younger than him so I introduced them to the fun. When school started I found many others my age who liked doing the same thing so we had a lot of get togethers.

I think I was 21 or 22 when I started. I'm not sure what finally convinced me to try. I was just in a sauna and rubbed myself a long time. Before I knew it, I came. I hate to say that it became quite frequent after that for a while as I learned the ropes.

Taught myself at about 10, was a quick learner and progressed from there. 😄

Figured it out on my own

I learned on my own.

I started long before puberty.

We had a shower with a shower head where could select different spray patterns.

One time when I was probably in about 2nd-3rd grade, I put the shower head on the thin pencil beam setting. I put my penis under it, and it felt great. I would take long showers, and hole my penis under the stream of water. When puberty came around, I started to ejaculate when I'd do this. The first time scared me (didn't know what happened). I didn't know if I'd hurt myself, or caused damage -- but it felt too good to stop, so I kept doing it every time I'd shower. I would take very long showers, and masturbate several times (sometimes forgetting to wash my hair -- hard to explain to my mom how I could spend an hour in the shower, and not wash my hair). One summer there was drought in our area, and we had mandatory water rationing. I would still take a long shower, and my mom would get mad thinking I was using too much water (and that we'd get a fine). Looking back, there's no way I would have used that much water to cause us to get a fine. I knew what I was doing was masturbating, but it was a few years later (junior high?) when I realized I could masturbate using just my hand (i.e. without using a jet of water in the shower). That was a game changer -- I could now masturbate without taking a shower.

Started with the masturbation. Under the guidance of older playmates, when I was about 9 years old I can still remember that my sliding of the foreskin to the glans tickled almost unbearable, but at the same time that was a very nice feeling. This is normal, because at such a young masturbators the glans is very sensitive yet. Over time, and after many masturbation leaves after the sensitivity. The orgasm was of course still dry but still very intense. I was immediately addicted to this feeling. Sodas that time I masturbated several times a day. Sperm came with 12 years.

A girl cousin and I were in the outhouse doing the “I’ll show you mine if you’ll show me yours “ thing and I started pulling on it back and forth. Had a dry orgasm as I was 9 or so. Scared me to death as I didn’t know what was happening. The next day I thought I made might do it again and see what happens. Been doing it ever since. I liked them when they were still dry as there was no mess.
