Who taught you to Masturbate?

I was self taught. Noone have told me how to do or how to enjoy it more

I was a late bloomer for a variety of reasons and i have a poor sex drive for other reasons, so I was completely naive about such things until probably college. I would say I'm pretty much self taught, but I had friends who gave me some advice on it. I actually did not think it was possible for me to bring myself to orgasm until my friend told me what I was missing.

Self taught. Read information browsing Playboy, Penthouse, and Hustler magazines. Home computers and the internet didn't even exist back than. Was very lucky to see what I saw at ten years old.

I wish someone had taught me or played with me. I’m from an era when erotica was virtually impossible to get. But I learned early and did it often.

You should try a Hitachi magic wand which is available on Ebay. It will take you to the next level in orgasms.

Actually, my first time was when I was 10. I was lying in bed the night after my physical. I was thinking about another boy getting a physical the same way that I had mine and rubbing my cock between my legs. I started getting wet between my legs and thought that it was just the sweat that I was working up. It felt great. I continued to rub until I came. I didn’t know what happened at first. All I know was it felt great. The next night I did the same thing. I still to this day often jerk off thinking about guys getting their physicals or me giving guys their physicals even over 20 years later.

I discovered it on my own, wasn’t taught by anyone. Guys at school would certainly allude to it and at some point openly refer to it, but it never came to show and tell regrettably.

I self taught myself. I discovered it by accident around 10 yrs old and have been doing it since.

I can't even imagine a scenario in which someone would need or want someone else to teach him how to masturbate. To me that's something you figure out on your own 100%. Later, you might look for ways to make it better or more interesting with toys and such. But a teacher? During the initial discovery? That doesn't even register with me.

Masturbation is a technique, meaning it not something that comes naturally. It has to be learned, like almost virtually everything we do in life, from walking, not dribbling over ourselves to talking and so on.

Some people learn things more rapidly, some less so. Most people can read and write, but a significant small minority cannot. Some people even apparently teach themselves.

So the same with masturbation. Some people need to have an example, someone to show them the way. The younger someone is, the more likely they will have had a teacher to show how it is done.

Perhaps it's the word 'teacher' that throws you off. Strictly speaking it would be the correct word to use even if the age difference were only 0 or a few years. Maybe a better word in such cases would be a 'tutor' or 'instructor' or a friend or someone who you copy or who gives advice.

I discovered it on my own at a fairly late age (15 and a half), but it really would have been better had someone instructed me prior to that.

I still don't understand how a concept of a masturbation tutor or instructor would even be a thing.

Do 10 and 12 year olds seek help in this area today? Do they ask each other if they have started playing with themselves yet? They sure didn't when I was that age.

You say things would have been better had someone instructed you prior to turning 15. How would that play out in reality? Do you wish a friend had asked you about your masturbatory habits when you were 12 or 13?

I'm not trying to be rude or pry into your childhood. I just can't even wrap my mind around the idea of a middle school kid seeking help with masturbation techniques.

How can anyone ask for help about a practice they have no knowledge of? Of course kids don't ask their friends such a question. How could they conceive of doing so?

If you've read many of the accounts here, you will notice that it is usually the person with the knowledge about masturbation who takes the initiative and instructs on how it is done. With kids of school age it was often an older friend, fellow student or maybe family relative like a cousin. Or maybe even an adult, an uncle, instructor of any sort, a supervisor at places where undressing occurs. Heck, maybe even a religious figure or Boy Scout troupe leader.

For myself, my experiences, my family moved to Belgium when I was 13 and I was still ignorant of many things. Not anal insertions, that I had been doing for many years already. But not masturbating. Maybe I am being uncharitable, but my schoolmates in Belgium were real wimps, goody-goodies. Not that I had many friends then anyway.

In retrospect, I suppose had we stayed in the US someone out of the many dirty-minded kids at school would've showed me the what and how. Or maybe had I stayed in the local YMCA one of the supervisors might have. Who knows? I rather wish I had been instructed/showed when much younger.

And it wouldn't have mattered much who did so either, I now think. To think of all the fun I could've had in those missed years.

I discovered my vagina and clit when I was 14 but I didn't know what all that was until my college roommate showed me.

I discovered it myself.

It happened when I was laying in bed on my stomach and my penis was squished between me and bed sheets. As I shifted my body the friction made it more warm and pleasurable so I started repeating it more until it led to ejaculation (and stains on the bed sheets unfortunately). Later I figured out I can use my hand and that's it.

I discovered it myself when i was about 14,and the first time i orgasmed i thought this is a tad messy.

Firstly, school friends talks, after maybe porn and my practicing.

I remember my first time masturbating. It was the afternoon after my 10 year physical. I freaked out a bit when I came, but then realized how good it felt and figured it must be right.

I remember popping an erection during the exam and the doctor telling me it was completely natural and to relax. He was very tender and now that I think about it pretty sexy! I vividly remember him rubbing his crotch by my leg during my exams. I know it wasn’t intentional but sure did make me hard.

I also learned myself. My experience was very similar. I just haven't learned to use my hand. Somehow it didn't work out for me. Maybe because I had a slight phimosis.

It was while chatting with a friend, after a school medical exam (already the medfet). We were on the bus and coming home from the school medical center. My friend asked me what I thought when the doctor examined us. I told him that it troubled me and that my penis had hardened. He told me it was normal with a woman and then asked me if I had any sperm coming out. I was surprised and told him no. He asked me, "Have you ever tried? ". I had to admit that I had never tried. He invited me in his apartment and he showed me how to do, but I had no ejaculation.

Self taught ! No encouragement or instruction needed and still enjoying it 44 years later.

Roommates in boarding school showed me how when I was 10. Two of them each sitting on their bunk beds facing me. I pulled my bottoms off and copied what they were doing, which was grasping their penises and jerking up and down. I was told the purpose was that sperm was supposed to come out (whatever that meant?). I previously had one of these group sessions before anything notable happened but was encouraged to keep trying. I don't recall this feeling great until after several minutes when an intensely pleasurable feeling came over me-my first orgasm. None of us ejaculated that I can recall. I liked masturbation and continued doing it, sometimes with other boys. Boys like to brag about being able to ejaculate and show off. Over the next year I got to watch other boys ejaculate and to watch my older cousin. I was finally able to ejaculate when I was 12. Nothing gay about this, just things boys do. Many thanks to the boys who taught me.

I taught myself! It started "innocently" by spending more time than I should, looking at the ladies underwear section of the 1970 Sears catalog when I was about 12! Also, I began to notice a girl in front of me, at my desk in school's, bra strap and growing figure and I began to get excited! I woke up a short time after during my first wet-dream and that feeling was indescribable! I experienced then what I learned in sex-ed classes and all the pieces started coming together. Nothing was ever said about masturbating among my circle of friends back then, thinking back, it was sure funny that after we would look through the pages of a Playboy magazine found in my buddies garage, we all "had to go home". Oh yeah, the good old days!!

Me, myself and I.

I guess like most of us, reading xxx magazines and exploring my body parts. (1970-80's)

Internet nowadays for the new generation of masterbation people.

Personally I wouldn't say I was taught by anyone - including myself, I believe when I first started masturbating it happened naturally, as natural as breathing.

I taught myself. I feel cheated reading some of these other experiences.

When I was around seven or eight I really wanted to pee my bed, why who knows. I was too chicken to actually do it since I had never ever had wet my bed. I discovered that if I rubbed my penis against my sheets at night or in the morning I would get a really good feeling at the climax and peed a little wetting my pajamas and sheets just a little. So that started my masturbation and that is how I have masturbated ever since. I had my first ejaculation when I was thirteen in a wet makeshift diaper.

Self taught.

No idea what gad happened other than it was good.

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

I taught myself.

I see I posted here way back in #24 in 2012… still masturbating almost every day now… I wonder, if as men, when we get very old do we ever stop ejaculating? Thinking how when I first began masturbating I would dry orgasm and then eventually as time when on, some pre-cum would come out, and finally some weeks later I would actually shoot a full load out.
