At what age did you start masturbating?

I'm glad someone made this thread, because I frankly find this topic fascinating, and feel kind of creepy bringing it up myself.

Until I was 16, I couldn't stand watching porn. It's not that it didn't have an effect on me, it's that it DID... and for some reason, I found that uncomfortable. It wasn't my upbringing - I was raised in an atheist household and we hardly ever talked about sex. I just felt dirty each time I came close to a screen where something sexually explicit was being shown. Even soft core (heck, only soft core - I never even encountered anything else until I started consciously looking for it).

When I was 13, I discovered that lots of people watch porn. It was a bit of a shock to me. I only found out because of a school trip wherein my roommates found HBO, which was apparently showing edgy stuff at night. Until then, porn was something for disturbed, messed-up perverts. I mostly stayed in my room to avoid the TV that trip.

When I was 15, I discovered that most men masturbate. This was an even bigger shock. I had never felt ANY urge to masturbate (I didn't even know how; later on, I looked it up on Wikipedia to find out). That year, though, not only did I hear guys talking about it pretty openly, but I was starting to really get into internet forums, and was finding out some pretty shocking things there. Weed, as it turned out, wasn't just for pothead bums. Masturbation, as it turned out, wasn't just for disgusting perverts. It took at least two years for me to get over all of this, and at the time I found it absolutely fascinating.

Around my 16th birthday I decided I might as well see what all the fuss was about, and for the first time watched some porn. My immediate reaction, as I remember it, was disappointment. I enjoyed it, but wasn't really sure what made it such a big deal. Not until April 19, 2008, when out of curiosity I pulled it for the first time. I was so ignorant of it I didn't even realize what physical effect this would create, and had some cleaning up to do afterward, if you get what I'm saying. I've been doing it on a regular basis ever since. The urge didn't appear until after it had been done once, which makes sense when you think about it - people aren't drug addicts before they've actually tried the drug. The kicker is, though, I've probably gotten significantly less horny since I started... I have no idea whether this is related, or just part of my natural growth.

Anyways, that's more than anyone ever wanted to know about me.

HA!!!
thanks for sharing
I also think this stuff is interesting hence starting the topic :D

maybe i should start one about average

im willing to bet since the age of 10 I easily "avg" once a day lol
 
Most of my years I couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. I didn't like ordinary porn because it looks fake and I still don't. Normally, I will use stories.

I started mastrubating when I was 18, although I got my first girlfriend when I was 17 so that may count. I can't even understand how I started that late.
 
I started masturbating with the aim of achieving orgasm at around 11 or 12 I think. However I've been playing with my favorite toy as long as I can remember.
 
11, and haven't stopped since :D
 
I plan on starting when I hit 60.
 
It's really weird timing that this thread comes along now.

I just recently had a Dr.s appointment and my Dr. told me that I am going to have to stop masterbaiting,....

I was stunned and frankly,.... a little scared.

I asked my Dr. (a beatutiful lady) "why?"

And she said; "just till my exam is over,... then you can do whatever you want"

:shock: :rofl
 
I was like dry humping from an early age lol
 
Got married, no longer need to "jerkin the gerkin." :2razz:

You mean your wife gives it to you whenever you feel like you need some release?
If that was the case with me, my wife would be dead...or she'd need vagina reconstruction. :mrgreen:

More or less, most days I'm dog ass tired so no demand exists.
With that said, I've learned that as long as you give, you get.

Where do you live? I'll send you a fleshlight for your birthday. Is that one word? Eh.
 
The most awkward gift ever. :lol:

I've received worse. Even had the pleasure of opening it under the Christmas tree in front of the wife and kids (didn't know what it was initially. Damn man jokes). Yes, it was a vibrator.

That's really strange to me, Harry.
Not saying I disbelieve it; I've just never heard any guy claim such a thing before.
Maybe you'll start again someday.
Masturbating doesn't really have anything to do with how accessible sex is or how often you have it.
If it did, few women would ever masturbate.

I just think it's a nice thing to do for yourself. Alone.
How often do we really take the time to be nice to ourselves: to look at ourselves without judgment or criticism or anxiety, to touch ourselves for some reason that doesn't involve routine maintenance?
Plus, it's a matter of independence and autonomy.
Why depend on somebody else, when you want to have an orgasm?
If nothing else, it puts a lot of needless pressure on your partner, who might not want to have sex at the exact minute you want to, but who also might not want to feel that she's letting your needs go unfulfilled, because you aren't capable of or willing to fulfill them yourself.

If a guy said, "I used to cook, but now I don't have to, because I'm married", we'd all feel really sorry for his wife, you know.
