Why does everyone start masterbating and exploring their body so young?

I started that stuff at like 16-17. My boyfriend was pretty young too. Like 8. But my best friend he started at like 15. I'm hearing from people they started as young as 2. Like what the hell. People are a lot more addicted to sex then I thought, and they put it so high in the list of importance it doesn't make sense. Like withholding sex is a relationship is abuse? Really?

  • Depends

  • Inquisitive minds

  • Because people are curious

  • it's not an addiction it just feels good. I was 8 when I started, for me there were a group of seniors who broke into bathroom and made me give them handjobs till they came, I learned and did it on myself and do it ever since that day

    • Wtf. God I'm so sorry that happened.

    • thank you, its alright tho I like to think about it as if I never got in this I never would've jerked off or at least till I am much older

  • It's a natural thing

  • age won't make any difference to know your body and enjoy it.

    • Yes. But children should focus on schooling

    • @maxine_c we born with dick and pussy, you can't stop them.

    • Technically. You can

  • I really started when I was around 12-13 and that discovery was the best day of my life. I've been masturbating on a fairly regular basis ever since!

  • I'm going to guess you lost your virginity in high school

  • whoever says 2 is full of shit

  • Because it’s natural.

  • It seemed to me that at some point I just knew I was horny. 13 or 14. Touching my penis got a sympathetic response. Another thing was that I started getting "pee shivers" when I peed. They are very like the spasm at the beginning of an orgasm. When I "discovered" stroking, my first orgasms got me the same feeling.
    TMI alert.
    Before my first girl-assisted orgasm (handjob) settled my libido, I also experimented with anal-insertion and urethral insertion play.

  • what's the problem?
    I think it actually helps people understand their body and the opposite sex faster and better
    yeah sure it has it downsides but it's not that bad

    • But why is that even important?

    • because parents don't talk about it some people like me get lucky and find other people who will explain things without any shame other people are unlucky and find out things from searching on the internet and mostly by porn the only thing parents have to do is to just explain things at the right time when the kid is 3 teach them how to pee when they're 6 or 7 teach them they have a pussy or a dick and they shouldn't show them to anyone or talk about it, when they're 9-12 teach them relationships and finally when they're 15 teach them about sex and how to do it the right way

  • 2 year olds touch their privates because they're curious not horny.. there's a difference.

    • Curiosity like that can turn into a porn addict and masterbate like crazy

    • 2 year olds aren't masturbating.

    • Exploring your private parts and touching them. If it causes pleasure. It's masterbating.
