You did a great job lynn
I don't recall my mother ever having the conversation with me, and if she did then it was only once when I was too little to remember. I've never been caught and if I have then it's been ignored. I don't think that not having the conversation has affected me too badly though. When I had my first orgasm, I thought I'd discovered something no one else had, and so in my mind, masturbation was something special and sacred. It wasn't until the subject came up with friends at school that I learnt the message masturbation=gross, and I started to feel quite ashamed by it. That's when I wished I'd had some reassurance from my mother.
