when i was about 7, i can remember my older brother (10) and the neighbor boys talking about another kid in the neighborhood being able to "make milk come out of his peter". i couldn't beleive it, but the others had seen him do it, and made the jacking motion to demonstrate how he accomplished such a feat.

it wasn't until 7th grade, when we had to set for the mandatory sex education classes in health, that the terms i had been hearing around school, like masturbation, wet dream and having sex made made any sense at all. guess i would have been 11 or 12 at the time. at any rate, i thought i'd give this "jacking off" thing a try. i can remember one day when no one was home, and i went out to our garage, whipped it out and started whacking away. must have felt like it was forever when i had this tingling, jolting, grabbing, tight feeling which alarmed me a bit. i stopped, wondering if i had caused some sort of damage to myself, and if so, how i was going to explain it all when they took me to the ER!!??

while all that was running through my head, the feeling had ended, and after taking inventory of how i felt, and physically looked, i figured i was quite ok, and that inner desire told me to keep jacking. i jacked for a short time, and the odd feelings all returned. i remember thinking that i was finishing this even if it were really painful.... then i shot my first stream of cum several feet across the garage floor, then another, then a few spasmic squirts and i remember the deep feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. how naive had i been? geeezzzz....MORE MILK!!

i was hooked from that day on...i spanked the monkey 3-4 times a week, especially after i started dating the hotties in high school. i'd fantasize about each one as i jerked off....but that's probably another thread.

I was around 9. Jerked it until it got numb, nothing "happened".. things didnt "happen" for a few more years.

I was around 8 or 9 when I first started -- I had found my uncle's magazines and that is when I started to. Used to do it a lot more then I do now but that is OK.

well, my first time...i had heard my friends talking about "jerking off" and wanted to try it so i had them tell me what to do. i tried it (but i was dumb and didnt have a hard on, i had a limpy) and it didnt do anything..so i started to put my finger(s) up my @$$ and that was pleasureful...then i got a hard and i didnt know what to do..but then i started pumping up and down and it felt REALLY good and then eventually i hit an orgasm..i thought it was wierd and it was VERY VERY painful at first..i almost cried but then i couldnt move it felt so good. i usually materbate whenever i am bored, lonely, depressed or just fucking horny! anyway e-mail me if you want anything....KEEP MASTERBATING!!

(chuckle)--I discovered it "by mistake"--hadn't even heard of 'jacking off'. I was just sitting in bed reading a (non-sexy) magazine in Jr. High (or maybe elementary school), just idly rubbin' 'cause it felt good, not even thinking sexy thoughts. Caught me quite by surprise. I thought I'd broken something!

K first off I'm new here... 22 male (the name refers to a halloween costume, my name is not Jack). Ok got that out of the way.

Anyway mine also was an accident. I was about 10, my cousin and aunts were in my house so I was in a sleeping bag in my parents' room... and I touched myself, I don't remember why, but I liked it, so I kept doing it. Anyway it started to feel like I had to pee, so I went to the washroom to pee but of course I didn't, so I finished in there and came, only a tiny bit. I was confused, didn't know what masturbation or cum was really, but I really liked how it felt so I masturbated more... I still do

P.S. I like how quite a bit of you say you used to or do masturbate 3-4 times a day, I used to think I was weird... well I am but it's good to not be alone

My parents left out their copy of "Everything you ever wanted to know about sex, but were afraid to ask", and it really opened my eyes.

The first few times I tried to reach climax, I stopped short of the top. I was scared. I went back to the book. The book says this what you do... o.k.

I did it again, and reached climax. I thought I hurt myself....I thought Should it be this intense??? Should it "burn" the way it does??? Yes it should....I think back to that day and laugh....

Well i was 12 and my girl friend came over and we went to my room and she asked if she wanted to play Doctor. So she told me to lay down and take off my shorts. So I did and then I got a wooden stick [Boner]. So she put her hands in my boxers and touched my penis, then started to rub it. It felt really good. She took off her clothes and we touched each other. That was a first time I got to masturbate and masturbate a girl to.

I'm 19 now and I masturbate atleast 2 a day.

I got started very young. I believe I was four years old, in the bathtub. I was just rubbing my penis, with no real purpose, when very suddenly the feeling got really intense. I don't think I ejaculated that day, but it definitely started me on a long journey of frequent masturbation.

Later, when I was in either junior high or early high school, I remember one night when my brother and I had gone to bed, and I was horny as could be. We shared a room, 10' by 20', with two dressers in the middle to seperate the space. There was a small crack between the dressers, and the full moon was out, so I know he could have seen me if he had been trying. However, I didn't care, I was sooooo horny. I (as quietly as possible) got out from under the covers, stripped completely naked, and lay there in the moonlight working my rock hard penis with my hand until I came and relieved my youthful horniness (for a little while, at least). My brother never said anything about it, so I don't know if he saw or heard anything.

My family lived on a forty acre farm, so when the rest of the family would leave me at home alone, I would often run around naked outside, and would most always end up masturbating. Being totally naked outside in the warm summer air and enjoying a wonderful orgasm is a special experience.

I grew up in a home where sex wasn't discussed at all. Modesty was also strongly encouraged, and so I never wore skimpy clothes or anything of that sort. Weird as this may sound, I used to get quite turned on by the sight of myself stripping in the mirror, or wearing skimpy skirts, or tying brief cloths around the private parts of my body to look more erotic in the mirror.

The first time I masturbated to orgasm, it was quite accidental. I have always been a very visual person, and I had a healthy fantasy life...even though it only involved simple things such as kissing and hugging, mostly the neighbor boy that I grew up with.

I was around 11 or 12 when I had stripped naked in my bed. It was in the middle of the afternoon, and I slept on a large, hard pillow. I started cuddling the large pillow as if it were someone, though I mostly recall just enjoyng the sensation. I wedged the hard corner of the pillow against my pussy and moved the pillow (hard, remember?) I was quite surprised to find my body jerking and my private parts quaking within seconds. It was a HUGE surprise...and something I knew nothing about.

It was also something I struggled with for years throughout adolescence. Of course, once I started, I couldn't stop. But because the whole sex thing wasn't talked about in our home at all, I felt incredible guilt. Needlessly, I see now.

Our children, being both offspring of parents who grew up masturbating and feeling guilty about it, are growing up in a home now where sex is openly discussed, not brushed under a rug. And from a very very young age when our children started touching themselves, we simply taught them to do it in private rather than public. I'm sure we have some masturbaters on our hands already.

My first time masturbating was a little bit later, around 11 or 12 for me. I used to only be turned on by the sound of a woman moaning (still am). I still touch myself before I go to sleep, it helps me sleep and to relax.

You want to know the weird thing? I've never had an orgasm unless I do it to myself, and I've been with plenty of partners (male & female).

Welcome Nerdgirl and all the newbies that I see have been posting! As you can tell, we all are pretty much the same, at least in regards to masturbating. We all do it and it is just fine!

I think it was around 13. During spring cleaning found my dad's playboys and 'Joy of Sex' The next few weeks I would sneak downstairs to peak at the pictures and touch myself without thinking.

At first I thought when my cock starting leaking seminal fluid that was it, but one night I really got going and found out what an orgasm really was as my jizz rocketed everywhere and I had to take emergency measures to clean up the magazines!

I never had much guilt, having the 'Joy of Sex' there to tell me it was natural and good.

The Joy of Sex was a great introduction to sexuality and certainly formed my attitudes about masturbation, and the human body.

When I was a teenager and read that "one of the sexiest parts of the body are the armpits" (or something like that), I thought they were nuts.

30 years later, I agree 150%!! Au natural!

I want to say I appreciate all the women willing to share about their masturbation experiences. I grew up in a culture where it was slightly (or not so slightly) taboo for a woman to enjoy sex. Also, it was flat out denied that a woman would want to, or even could, masturbate. Masturbation has been such a big part of my life, and it's nice to know that it's important to the opposite sex as well.
