Who taught you to Masturbate?

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?

Wen I was 5 years old a local girl, of my age, at the countryside where we spent the holyday. 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,

If ever a post needed additional context this is it.

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.

@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. 😉

My mother considered masturbation as some disgusting...

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!
