Masturbation is still a taboo subject. I love this forum because I can post openly about my experience with Do you talk to anybody openly about masturbation?
My wife… back in the day, I had a good friend the same age going through the same things and discovery it as well.
It’s quite bizarre really if you think about it - jerking off is a normal everyday physical need much like breathing, sleeping, eating and drinking. Yet we don’t generally talk about it in real life. Why does it need to be so secretive?!
The girl I was seeing when I was 19 was very open about it. I was kind of shocked, but she taught me that everyone does it and those that say they don’t are liars. I cal openly discuss it with my wife of 34 years. I remember masturbating in fron of her while we were dating. She was shocked and I opened her up to it. Sadly, she refuses to masturbate if I’m around because she considers that her private time. I can live with that.
When I was 19 the girl I was with told me she used the showerhead for fun - usually every shower. That was some tough competition in the sex department.
Sadly, I don't have anybody in person to talk to about masturbation which is a subject very dear to my heart. My wife is not comfortable talking about it as are family members. Unfortunately, it still is a very taboo subject even though it is perfectly normal and healthy and wonderful. Perhaps someday I will find a friend that is just interested in talking about that. For now though I talk to you my fellow online friends. And I'm very grateful to be able to do that.
Yes, your case is for many guys. It is taboo in many societies or religions, even now in modern societies a lot of families are not comfortable talking with their kids about sex. Fortunately in America, there is a sex teaching program which they try to educate the students in middle schools. I think it is a great duty of parents to have a friendly relationship with their kids to talk to them about sex matters including masturbation and their virginity, particularly for girls.
I'm quite happy to talk to people about it, but would say I only have 2 friends who were open to talking about it in depth rather than just admitting to doing it. My S/O and I discuss it, but that's probably it.
My GF had no idea what masturbation was. And when I told her about it with some details, she wanted to take me to a doctor because she thought something was wrong with me. We were both in our 20s. It pains to recollect all those memories.
You mean to say she didn’t grasp the concept of giving pleasure to your own body, from either a male or female perspective?!
I sure grasp it... That was a different time - you didn't have sex and porn coming at you from every direction....not to mention that you would go to hell for impure thoughts...
Wow. That said, my wife was similar. It took her a while to even try and appreciate how mens minds and bodies work, and that them needing to get hard and shoot a load every couple of days doesn’t make them sort of weirdo pervert, it just means they are a normal red blooded male. She’s never really wanted to let herself go in the bedroom or try to figure out what gives her pleasure. I’ve tried to move things on but she doesn’t seem too bothered.
I have only talked about it with my new wife. And the only person I have done it with is her. It obviously turns me on watching her play with herself, but she says that watching me play is interesting, but not a tun on as such :/
I talk opeto anyone. I mean, not just walk up to someone, n show a video of me stroking. People I know, male and female, just work up to the topic, n go from there.
She heard me in the bathroom when I got home from work, not sure what I was doing. Actually saw me masturbating to a porn movie late at night when I thought she was sleeping. She not happy. Of course, she thought the most absolutely the worst possible scenario. She thought I was a perv and an addict. I was neither, just extremely horny. She was forced to discuss it with me with me assuring her there was nothing wrong with her or me. We have talked about masturbating (her and me) but she still does not like to talk about anything of a sexual nature... ever. I was she would. I bothers me not to share that part of with her. I should not have to keep it hidden from her.
