I have always thought about this experience but never really talked about it. When I was about 12 there was a neighbor boy that I knew but was not really friends with. One day he asked me to follow him into the garage. Once we were in the garage alone he said he wanted to show me something. He then pulled down his shorts and began pulling on his dick. I was not very tall and he was about 16 and much taller so I was about eye level with his waist. I was fascinated with what I saw. I knew what an erection was but I had no idea how anything worked. He was so much bigger than me and so hairy I was mesmerized. He just stood there jerking it in front of me in very short strokes. Almost like a vibrating motion. I just kept staring at him because it was so big and so much dark brown pubic hair. After a few minutes he finally came all over the floor and we just walked away. I’m wondering if this was unique to me or if most guys learned about masturbation in a similar way.
A friend had showed me how to masturbate... after I'd learned that having sex with a boy was so exciting. Yep, he had said, "Let me show you something!" and pulled his shorts down to shown me how to use my hand to pull on my erection. I had pulled my pants down and was copying what he was doing... and I shot a load all over his face because he was bending over and watching what I was doing and, by chance, he was one of the few guys who knew I could shoot the baby making stuff despite being three weeks past my ninth birthday. I think a lot of us had "that friend" who said, "Hey - you wanna see something?" or "Let me show you something!" This wasn't my first sex experience but it was the first time I masturbated.
It was a relative who was 5 years older than myself. I was probably age eleven. It was common he and I ran nude in the woods and skinny dipped in ponds. One day he showed me how to masturbate and the finale he came to. I tried it. I got hard and orgasmed but dry. It eventually came around of course
As a kid, a friend of mine demonstrated for us. My brother and I watched as he lay down and pulled his cock, using spit as lube, which I found gross. Then his come shot out of his cock and my brother and I set to work practising doing it too. Nothing came out but pre come for a while, but it felt good. We'd both go at it and come a couple of times without stopping just to get that white stuff to come out like he did.
I learned about masturbation at my friends house when I had a sleep over. He had bunk beds and I slept on top I was dangling my arm down the side against the wall and he took it and put it on his hard cock and started stroking with my hand. I kept going until I felt his cock swell and he came. He then reached his hand up and started playing with mine, I got so hard and had my first orgasm, cumming everywhere. We then after that routinely when I was over at his house jerk each other off. I used to love jerking him and watching him cum, and in turn loved him jerking me. So your experience is not that unusual.
I never had "that friend" but I would have been a very attentive student if someone showed me how to masturbate.
I never had any of my friends as a kid physically show me but was told pretty much how to do so and always did so in the privacy of my bedroom.
When I was 6, I was inappropriately touched by a 30 year old, male neighbor. He convinced me to strip for him and asked me a bunch of questions about my penis. He then asked if he could show me something that adults like to do and that feels very good. When I agreed he grasped my tiny penis between his thumb and forefinger and started stroking it. Eventually, I started fidgeting around and shaking. I didn't know what was happening, but I had experienced my very first dry orgasm.
Same with me. A neighbor maybe in his forties, showed me how to masturbate by doing it to himself while he watched porn. He never touched me, but I remember how big I thought his dick was and I had never seen someone cum. I had also never seen porn. It was a bit confusing, but I tried it myself and had dry orgasms.
That must be the way they do it. When my neighbor was done with me he pulled out his cock. I can remember being shocked by how huge it was and afraid of what he was going to do with it. I had never seen a penis that big, especially a hard one. Luckily all he did was show me how he masturbated. I was really shocked when he came in his hand. He could see my shock and curiosity. So, he showed it to me and told me to feel it. I told him it felt like snot and I asked him why white snot was coming out of his penis. He told me it was normal for adults and that he'd tell me all about it at a different time.
