Who taught you to Masturbate?

Self-taught. I climaxed for the first time while engaging in a bit of voyeurism. After that, I started sitting on the toilet or lying in bed and thinking of sexual things until I derived that same pleasure. This quickly led to the discovery of masturbation.

With me the discovery also was empirical by instinct. I was playing with my penis when I was 10 and I caught bright orgasm. I thought after that I finally understood what were older boys on the street often joking about

When playing Doctors and Nurses with the girl next door at a very young age I used to experience a sensation after repeatedly pulling my underpants down and up over my erect penis. I did not realise what the sensation was until I was about 10 or 11 when I used to strip off, lie on the floor and shuffle, for want of a better expression, back and forth until the sensation happened again. By the time I was 12 I was producing ejaculate but still favoured the lie on my front method to achieve climax.

I carried on with this method until I was about 14 or 15 when I started having masturbation and play sessions with other male friends and began to use the more conventional method to achieve a climax.

I stroked myself from a young age. Didn't experience my first ejaculation until I was in the airforce. Was in my barracks room in my bunk one morning. My roomie was in the top bunk still sleeping (or so i thought). I had had an erotic dream and woke up, erect. I pulled my underwear down and began stroking myself. It felt pretty good & in a few minutes, and I started feeling need to stroke harder. The feeling became overwhelming and then it happened. I kind of yelled out and squirted all over my chest & face. My bunkie peered down from the top bunk and burst out laughing. I wasn't sure what happened but it sure felt good. He never said a word about it.

For me it was self taught. I remember when I was 8-10 years old I would rub my groin against things (bed, etc.) and liked the feeling it gave me. Nothing really ever happened at that age, just kind of got hard and I thought it felt good. At 12 is when I started masturbating in a more traditional sense. I remember the first time was when I got home after school one day. I felt horny and was hard so I started rubbing my penis until after a while white fluid was spurting out. I was initially surprised by this but really liked the feeling. Did a lot of those after school sessions after that first time.

I'd been playing with my erections for a year or so, but no orgasms or ejaculations - I always stopped playing too soon.

When I was 13, on a school trip, a few of my friends were chatting about masturbation techniques on the coach. I laughed and pretended I knew what they meant. That night in bed, I tried those techniques, and wow - first orgasm, thick and white!

I just wish I'd learned 6-12 months sooner!

A older male cousin. In fact we used to have dual jerk offs to see who blew first and who could be second with the winner being the second.

I was 5yo. We had a cottage at the coutryside where there lived a girl of my age. She wanted to play doctor with me and examin each other¨s genitals. So we did. During the play she masturbated and sshowed me how boys masturbate the penis. I wonder how she had learned it. She had a somewhat older brother she might have seen masturbate, or seen other older boys.

This was the first time I saw and even looked into the vulva of a girl explitsitly , but I was not surpriced. I am sure I had seen it before, but in a drugged state at some special clinics for children where I had thorough pelvic exams.

She confirmed that she also had these regular exams, but without giving much details.

Around 12 on the shower found that soap stroking my hard penis felt good. Started a technique where rapid strikes with both hands stroking bottom to top on soapy penis created lots of lather and friction. Had first orgasm but with all the lather no idea if it was dry or not. So self taught.

I don't think anyone taught me. My sister did teach me some techniques like using a muscle massager and later a vibrator. She actually rented a PO Box and ordered a vibrator through a mail-order catalog.

At around 12 during a school trip. We were four guys sleeping in a room and one of us whipped it out and started (in his words) “extending his musket”.

I commented on how hung he was and he replied something like “That's nothing compare to a [other classmate].”

Unfortunately, I never got the see that other classmate, but I was impressed at that time. A few weeks later after we got home, I quietly tried myself in my room.

No one. I discovered it all by myself. Not that I really knew what was going on!

Self taught. Started with climbing ropes in grammar school.

Masturbation was explained to me and two friends by an older scout on a camping trip. Once he left the tent, we all had to experiment with the new information he imparted. I'm guessing we were maybe 11, and each of us found what he described as 'the feeling' that produced a dry orgasm. We were too young to ejaculate cum, that would cum later. But the three of us were chronic masturbators after that.

@Ladybug seriously? What a great dad!

School friend started it and then I guess just curiosity.

If ever a post needed additional context this is it.

I think I just worked it out for myself... not sure on what age. We DEFINATELY discussed it at school.

@hispanwanItal1stname Something similar happened to me when I was in elementary school - my mother walked on me, was horrified, and asked questions. Basically she seemed to believe I could not have figured that on my own and must have been initiated by an older pervert!

What were your mother's questions?

Did she prohibit masturbation?

When I was 5 years old a local girl, of my age, at the countryside where we spent the holiday. suggested we should take off our clothes and play doctor.

I felt it exciting, and so we did for many years. The doctor play amounted to just looking at, feeling and spreading our genitals.

But each session ended with her masturbating and she showed me how boys masturbate. She probably had seen her brother do it.

That's a new one. Never heard of a boy being shown how to masturbate by a girl. Interesting.

I figured it out myself.

When a young teenager, had a friend spend the night at out mountain cabin. We would jack off together (no touching) and see who could squirt the farthest. Many years later heard my friend passed away, believe he was gay and a drug user. Only time in my life I jacked off in front of a guy. I'm 75 and still straight.

As DennyU said,

Would you mind expanding a little on your post, @Ladybug761?

I figured it out on my own for the most part. The part I was missing was to continuing to orgasm. I would stop when I started to get a that tingling feeling. It was a neighbor boy told me to continue past that for something even better. Boy was he right!

He also told me his older brother could 'shoot' out sperm which I didn't believe until I was shown. While I was excited when it happened to me, I regretted the end of evidence-free, non-messy orgasms.

Taught? It just felt good doing it so I did it. Not something I would think needed instruction.

Taught myself actually. Experimented with markers the first time I ever did it. Didn’t know what the hell I was doing. Can say I definitely have a better idea now and use better instruments 😆😆

@Bad Princess right on! No teaching required!!!

I wish someone had taught me. Then I might have started much earlier with this pleasurable activity, instead of unwittingly stumbling onto it.

The truth is that for just about all human activity and knowledge, most is taught outright. Or for the basics, by seeing/hearing it done and copying the activity.

If you are in a situation where neither occurs, like myself, then blind luck is all you have left. Pure serendipity by happenstance.
