Guys and Gals... When your parents had the "sex talk" with you did it include any discussion or information about masturbation?

I had "the talk" when I was around 11 or 12 and had already started masturbating frequently. Even after the "talk" I was not sure if jerking off was normal or not and I was too embarrassed to ask my parents... go figure. A few years later I was on my high school cross country and swim teams and during long runs the tight knit bunch of us would talk about anything including sex... imagine that. That is where I found out that all the other guys on the XC Team shyly at first, admitted to jerking off a lot. The swim team guys were more open about it in locker room talk. Anyway, out of curiosity, how did you learn or discover masturbation? Was it from parents? A friend? Porn? or just self discovery like me. Even with a great sex life from my late teens to now a great married life, it is still an important part of my life. I know young guys masturbate more than girls, but girls how did you learn about it also? I appreciate any honest answers.

Thanks for all the honest answers. It looks like we all experience something such as NO talk to talks about sex but nor masturbation and for just 1 or 2 masturbation was also discussed. Do you think parents should talk about masturbation wit their teens? It is probably goo that they hear that it is normal and safe.

Superb Opinion

  • My parents, or at least my father and his second wife, never really did any "sex talk", let alone masturbation, which seems to always have been a stupid taboo. The only hypocritical temptation of my pregnant stepmother was to mention that "father had to put some stuff inside..." Accidentally I already had discovered masturbation on my own at a very young age, although indulging only now and then. Some interesting and correct information happened further at school from some students.

    • No doubt parents should dare to talk about masturbation with their teenagers. Many teens indeed, and particularly girls, have issues about the topic. At least they should be told that masturbation is safe and normal.

  • I didn't get any real sex talk.

    I just walked into them being busy and they just pretend it didn't happen. The closest I got as a talk were:

    • My aunt basically telling me it was wrong and immoral to do that before marriage
    • My mother giving me colorful and vivid accounts about her escapades when she was drunk.

    Yes, it did give me issues.

    • Sorry about the crazy Aunt... sounds like ur mother was cool with things.

    • My aunt was actually the more ratonal one in the years she softened her stance and recognized she was being extreme. My mother on the other hand wasn't really a bad person, she was just a bit selfish.

    • Sounds like you pulled through all of the "fun" alright.

  • Hey @summiter ,

    Great to hear from you again!

    I started masturbating when I was four years old. My mum and I had lots of conversations about sex and the like, including that masturbation was a normal way to explore how you like being touched during sexual intercourse. As I've aged, I keep a lot of that to myself now, because I used to masturbate to this really hot man that I'd see out in public, and mum and I did not see eye to eye on him with regards to a potential relationship.

    • Golden ur lucky I never got told that masturbation even exists. I'm glad I figured it out on my own.

  • Yeah it did. They said it was ok but it was a private thing and I should do it by myself not with other people.

    • I'm glad they shared that info with you... it was more info than what I got which was zero! Hopefully u are enjoying things?

    • I am lol

    • Good 2 hear Whitney... have fun:)

    Masturbating was a self discovery thing.

  • Never had the talk... thank God

    • Why would it have been embarrassing?

    • Just the way my parents are

  • My mom taught me how to masturbate before she taught me about sex

    • You were fortunate to have had that talk. I never was told that masturbation even exists by my parents. I had to learn on my own which was kinda fun actually and it has given me thousands of great orgasms... how bout you?

  • No, but OTOH my mother was aware and never said anything about it. It might have helped if she had just said it was normal. I want religious and didn't feel a lot of shame but still out would have been nice if someone told me that everyone does it

  • I got the wear a condom speech.

  • They never had a sex talk with me,

  • Self discovery and I hate to admit it but first time I had heard of masturbation was on beavis and butt head

  • Not a damn word, though dad died when I was 10. Mom didn't say shit bout sex. Just about " feminine care".

    • Ugggg how did you learn to self pleasure were u like me and stumbled upon it?

    • Stumbled upon it in the shower, I was washing and rinsed down there with the detachable shower head. You can guess what happened after

    • I can guess... hopefully you have had many orgasms since then!

  • Nope none at all.

  • my mom gave me the talk after I transitioned (male to female)

    • @date_a_snob How old were you then and what was the degree of your transition at the time? What is your current degree of transition?

  • Summiter good question. My mom gave me the talk when I was 11 or 12. My dad had long since moved out. She told me the basics about sex, women's periods, how pregnancy worked etc. But she made no mention of jerking off or what it was about... It probably would have been embarrassing for her. I was just starting to jerk off a lot then and did not j=know if it was ok or how much is normal etc. My older sister actually told be about it because she heard me jerking off in my room. We are very close and she was way cool about it. She also told me that girls do it also which was a surprise.

  • It's amazing how we all figure it out by accident.

  • I never had the sex talk with my parents

  • Sex talk when I was 5 or 6. Masturbation about 11 or 12.

    • Lucky u... I did not get the masturbation talk at all.

    • It was awkward. Didn't get into specifics, thankfully. Just said it was normal.

  • Not really... I was figuring out stuff on my own

  • No , it was a joke they tried to but nope
