Were you allowed to Masturbate growing up?

I was caught several times and I’ve caught my father. Not to mention that my father was always naked at home and drunk so I saw him getting erections while asleep on the couch. Sexuality was not forbidden but unspoken about..
I still felt fear of my parents knowing that I am bisexual so I jerked off outside and public spots starting at around 10/11..
At that age I also met a neighbor who was in his early 20’s that allowed me to watch porn at his house and eventually we did more. I was an exhibitionist perv from early childhood

 

Opinions, nor options. I encountered a wider more thoughtful world where people were more open about sex and ways to find pleasure. One was a woman 10 years my senior who taught me many things sex.

 

I'm sure my parents knew but it was never talked about. So, maybe that was permission in a way.

 

It was never discussed but I'm sure my room smelled like cum for most of my teenage years. I went through boxes of Kleenex like a funeral home and never once had a runny nose.
My parents never caught me...irony... my 19 year old step daughter home from college caught me...

 

With my bachelor Father the subject never came up, although my cock did,and so did my brothers, often. A friend from over the street was with us once and pulled himself to show us how to do it. My brother pulled off a lot and had a stack of porn mags hidden. A couple of times he and I masturbated ourselves in his room, to see what that 'stuff' was that is supposed to come out, (early days).
At 15 I shot the first load, then went to his room as he was jirking off, and stood there and pulled myself to show him what the come looks like. He and I agreed, at exam times we should both pull ourselves to relax and destress. It worked. I think dad heard us say that.

 

Sex wasn't discussed much at home. I got the Birds and the Bees talk, but that was it.

I figured out how to masturbate on my own, but never talked about it. I think that is why I like forums like this. It reassures me that I wasn't alone... many people had to figure things out on their own.

 

There's such a stigma about sex being evil. Nothing is further from the truth as having sex keeps you young and alive. But too many people think the human body and sex is a way to evil so they don't talk about it. That makes young kids tend to experiment inappropriately which leads to trouble. I was fortunate that, even though my parents only covered the B&B's, I had an older GF who taught me all about sex beyond the propagation of our species. It made a world of difference in how I see sex as a pleasurable activity while not always associated with love and romance and marriage. Masturbation is fun and I continue to do it well into my 70's.

 

There is no room to discuss sex in a religious family, so I did not have any chance to talk to some of my family members. I have learned myself but always I have felt guilty about masturbation. It was a dirty secret in my whole life even after marriage. Now, I understand that whatever I had thought about sex was wrong and any type of sexual activities are completely normal and natural.

 

It just wasn't discussed then, it was a big taboo...'nobody' did it but everyone was doing it, obviously, as much as I was. We may have made a few jokes about it with very close friends, but pretty much it was / is my solo secret to this day.

 

In our family sex stuff was never talked about. Masturbation was always something I kept to myself. Ma and Pa must have realised though, the amount of time I would spend in the bathroom...

Never actually got caught masturbating, although I was discovered naked in bed by my Mom one morning. I'd taken my PJs off and obviously totally zoned out after cumming (yes, it's a great sleep aid, right?) and as I was obviously later up, my mom came in and whipped off the top sheet. I remember saying that I had undressed because I was hot. But I don't recall anything else that might have been said about it.

 

Never discussed at home at all.

 

It was forbidden in my house, since my parents were super religious. They wouldn't discuss anything further than "it's wrong and don't do it." End of discussion. My sisters and I still did it for the few hours we had between the time we got home from school and the time my parents got home from work. So it didn't stop us, but made it something naughty that we knew to hide from them. And it kept going even after we got to the age where we understood what was happening with our bodies. But going through that made us realize how important it is to communicate with family and not repeat the same mistakes as our parents.

 

We just never talked about it lol

 

Family never talked about it. Imasturbated plenty and I'm sure they knew I did by the time I spent in the bath room! No one ever takes about not doing it

 

Oh heavens no. I grew up Catholic and that was a huge sin.

I remember mom and dad finding my Playboy mags and getting the stern lecture and being brought to church to pray about it.

Even today I sometimes feel nervous about doing it.

My ex wife was super Catholic as well, but I made damned sure to run interference between her and my sons. They didn't need that crap in their lives.

 

I remember a 70 year old priest banging his fist on the podium, yelling 'masturbation is a sin'...and the congregation just got really quiet....this was in the 70's.. "and the second collection today is for a new statue in the courtyard - not feeding starving kids or healing the sick, of course..." Right about then is when they lost me.

 

Lived in a house were we were usually naked, we went on naturist holidays etc, I saw my dad wanking when I was about seven, I had woken up and it was the first time I got a hard on and went to ask what it was, his cock was obviously hard and he was rubbing it quite openly. He explained about the hard-on I had and that people wank for many reasons and it was perfectly normal and ok to do. I have to admit I became fascinated by the idea, I started to stroke my cock there in front of him like I had seen him, I was told that some people may not find it appropriate so to be respectful of that when we had guests. I'd however show the girl nextdoor that were also nudists and friends of my parents my little Bonner which she thought was very cool.

It was the same in my house hold there was no issue with anyone masturbating in the house I saw my mum and dad masturbating in the living room and I would regularly do it Infront of every one as would my friend from next door, though she was told one day when we were wanking next to each other and she shoved her finger under my nose and asked me to smell, that it wasn't polite to do that.

When I first started wanking I didn't really cum, though I was told that as I got older I would, it was mostly dry organisms. When I was older there was an unspoken rule that when you masturbated you had something to catch the ejaculate so as to not make a mess.

 

How did you manage with the ejaculation? Did you used to have something lying around?

Just curious did more than one person masturbate in a location at one time, I'm just asking because I sometimes would go into a room were my mum or dad would be wanking and sit down and start wanking other times I would be and one of my parents would come in and start, me and my friend from next door and my cousins would always join in if they came into a room and one of us was wanking.

 

It did not happen never for me to wank in front of somebody like dad and mom. I have thought and fantasized about my mom or someother relative while I masturbated, but not with the others.
