Who taught you to Masturbate?

@Bad_Princess My mother walked on me as I was playing with myself as a kid and initially assumed that I could not have found this on my own and that somebody must have taught me.

You must have been Angelic in her eyes. Before that at least.

@Bad_Princess My mother considered masturbation as some disgusting thing that adolescent and adult males do!

The irony is that she probably precipitated my taste for masturbation by her insistence on intimate hygiene. 😉

Wow, I was lucky; my mom didn't think much of it; that it was something natural.

I watched the first porn with my best friend together, but mastubation came later. So I would say thought myself.

Self-taught expert here!

I figured masturbation out on my own. After reading some of these posts though, I regret that no one taught me how to do it. This is a great Zity discussion thread!

No one did I figured it out on my own. I started really young. 5 years old. My parents took me to see a doctor because I had trouble going poop. The doctor stuck his finger in my butt and gave me an enema. Also at home my parents needed to give me regular enemas weekly. As time went on I realized having a finger in my butt or an enema gave me special tickle feelings.

You did not figure it out on you own, you had some awakening to the pleasure of sex, or touching yourself. Your parents taking you to the doctor, the doctor along with your parents giving you enemas and having a finger in you butt giving you "tickle feelings" were important lessons.

Great experience some of you had. I'm self taught.

I learned from reading parts of a book that dealt with sexual practices in the Middle East at about age 12. My grandmother had friends who gave her paperbacks they had read. Most were stored in a small dresser. Most were romantic novels which Grandma liked reading. Her being quite religious I assumed she never picked up this particular book. While reading I came to a section that spoke of boys masturbating by stroking the foreskin back and forth. It seemed silly, but I gave it a try. After a minute or so I decided it was definitely silly and stopped. A few days later I read again about it and thought I should try again. This time as I continued feelings began to stir, feelings I had never experienced. As I continued the feelings/pressure built and I knew something was happening until I came HARD. Damn what a feeling.

Was it by any chance 'The Jewel in the Lotus' by Allen Edwardes? I read that too but when around 16. A bit out of date for the practices described but a great read for learning about sexual practices.

@agracier A very long time ago but I do not think that was the title.

I pretty much figured it out on my own, I don't really remember how exactly but I know I was playing with myself and then I came all over my sheets.

This was not an issue for me as it was all trial and error on my part. From about 12 I would remove my PJ's and be naked under the blanket. Then I would just explore my body,touch every part , and from there I discovered that my penis had lots of pleasure points. This tactile exploration of my body led me to my erect penis where I learned to make it give me a burst of pleasure even though I did not express semen until I was 13. However I do have a brother who was 8 years my junior and we had had checkups together (including one where we were both examined nude) and saw each other's bodies and one exam where we were both nude asked me after the exam why I had so much hair on my armpits and penis. Later when he came to puberty I did tell him what masturbation was and how it was perfectly natural

It was pretty easy to discover on my own, and I know I was pulling and rubbing my dick from a very young age.

Self-taught, thanks to a happy accident. By 8th grade random erections were a daily occurrence. One day I reciting in English class standing next to my desk when I felt the unmistakable sensation growing in my pants. Fortunately, those were heavy baggy corduroy uniform trousers and I was able to finish my recitation and sit down without anyone seeing. As a good Catholic boy I’d been taught that “playing with myself” was the mortal sin of “self abuse” or the nasty sounding word “masturbation.” In confession , I would own up to having “impure thoughts” but couldn’t honestly say I done anything about them.

Sometime later, maybe age 14, I was laying in bed late one night listening to my parents having a loud argument in the front of the house. I rolled over on my belly to try to shut out the commotion, when I began to get that feeling again. I was hard and as I moved against the mattress it felt better and better. I rolled back over and rubbed the bulge in the front of my PJs and quickly found myself unable to stop. T hat first cum was amazing. I wasn’t sure what to do with the goo in night clothes, so I cleaned up with Kleenex and went back to bed. My folks were still arguing when I drifted off. First thing the next morning I did it in the shower on purpose; it’s been my favorite place for “self abuse” ever since.

As I noted in a post 11 years ago, it was in the shower where I had my first "accident" from the strong shower stream hitting my penis and feeling very good. For about a week I was very very clean showering every day LOL.

A tree in our back yard had branches that my 7 year old arms could reach. I would wrap my legs around the trunk and move up and down to get that tingling sensation ‘down there.’ I hated when we moved away from that house but discovered I could get that same sensation by rubbing my hand over my briefs. A few years later, age 11 or 12, I ejaculated for the first time and was scared that I seriously injured myself. Wish I’d had a mentor back then! ☺️

My very first masturbation was done with clothing on also.

And don't bother about the 'mentor': it'd be a memorable experience if that mentor genially volunteered to teach, but it could equally be a nightmare if the mentor (or mentors) decided for an intervention method (like one of my friends' childhood classmate).

...I ejaculated for the first time and was scared that I seriously injured myself.

That was me as well. I thought I had a stroke and that was only because my grandfather had recently had one and I was familiar with the symptoms: dizziness, light headedness, rapid breathing and a feeling of almost passing out. I recovered rather quickly and realized that there was nothing wrong with me.

I think the seed was first planted whilst playing Doctor. It was all innocent fun, but the neighbor girl I was playing with took special interest in my "Rocket" as she called it, while I was laying on my back, having my temperature taken. Flash forward a little bit, and I was by myself, taking my temperature, while touching and stroking my self, that, to quote Borat, I made a "Romance explosion" on my stomach lol. The rest is history.

I'm a proud autodidact!

I saw an older boy masturbate when I was around 12. Shortly after that, I tried it myself.

Actually no one. I think it just comes naturally

No one. I cannot remember when I started. I must have been really young. So self taught somehow. Have been doing it daily for as long as my memory goes back.

Self Taught!! Denise

Self Taught!! Denise

@Denise Same here. 😉

My first was with a girl cousin about 2 months younger than me, that loved playing "I'll show you mine if you show me yours". After a few times it went to touching. Finally one time she proceeded to rubbing resulting in my first orgasm. As we were standing in a nearby wooded area at the time my knees buckled and I was startled to say the least. What a surprise!! After that I figured out how to do it by myself! I was about 8 or 9 years old at the time, it was around 1955 and there were no open discussions about sex from parents so we learned from other kids, and as we were never caught it was never discussed at home. Amazing as to how we were left alone to do whatever we wanted to back then as long as we were home "when the street lights came on". We played in the woods, we drank from garden hoses, we rode in the back of pickup trucks..........and we're still here!

LostInThe50s

I taught myself to masturbate (or discovered it) when I was about 3 years old; and I got into big trouble when my family observed what I was doing!

I found out that playing with myself did result in a really nice feeling if you do it long enough at quite a young age (8-ish).

Being a late developer didn't do anything about it but the fact that a real ejaculation didn't happen until I was about 14,5 although there was clear fluid coming before that moment...

Real masturbation though, in terms of stroking, was thaught to me by my best friend's oldest sister who was 18 at the moment where I was 14,5, almost 15. It happened during a game 'thruth or dare' where she demo'd what to her youngest sister what happened when boys/guys are stimulated ...
