Your testes produce hundreds of millions of sperm every day, and there are only three ways to get rid of it - wet dreams (which most of us don't have after our early teen years), intercourse (my preferred method of disposing of my excess sperm), and masturbation. When intercourse is not available, masturbation is the only alternative, and I do it regularly, but not excessively, every three days or so. No guilt, as it is a natural human function, necessary to get rid of surplus sperm, in a way that happens to be very enjoyable.
Actually, there is a 4th method - the sperms are absorbed back into the body, although this isin no way anywhere near as pleasureable as the others.
Between ages 14 and 24 I did NOT masturbate due to guilt. Shale you are right. Since I did not do it, I was "squirting" in my sleep once, twice and sometimes even three times in a night. I threw out many pairs of brief underpants as a result or had to handwash them so my mother would not see them. I put myself through some emotional turmoil about it. I am 31 years old and still to this day if I don't release it, it does it itself while I sleep. I kinda regret holding back all that time. To the kid that might feel guilty, please don't put that burden of guilt on yourself. I am not telling you to do it or not do it. You do what is right for you and your body. Don't try to force it either. Be at peace. I don't think God will punish you for that.
I used to for some odd reason I could never grasp but now I could jack it all day long and not feel guilty. It soothes me and relieves a lot of unwanted tension.
I seldom have had guilt, but occasionally wished I'd done it another time or in another place, saved for later in other words.
I always choose the right times, it seems like. For weeks I might go without masturbation, but then as soon as I start feeling like I'm really stressed I get horned up enough to do it.
I only feel guilty because I'm depriving my wife of cum.. but I only do it on long trips so it'd go to waste in a dream...
When I was about 15 I was a little guilty at what I was doing and seeing what happens. Fast forward three decades and the answer is definitely no shame, just pleasure.
No When I was around 13 I used to ask myself, "What did I just do?" right after. I wouldn't feel guilty, just thought the whole experience made zero sense Now I know that it doesn't have to make sense, lol
