I am 23 and I have never masturbated.

9 I think. By 10 it was definitely happening. At first I did it in the living room... my mother told me "stop it, you'll make yourself sore." I am very embarrassed to this day.

I voted 4-5 because that's how old I was when my mother kept scolding me for touching myself. It wasn't for self-pleasure at that time, but just exploration and curiosity. Nothing more came into my mind than if I were playing with my hair or my glasses. The first time I actually self-pleasured was age 13. Right around both of these ages, I had recently been molested by an adult.

What a cool topic! I love masturbating. It's great stress relief. I first did it I think around 4 years old. I didn't know it was sexual. It was just something that felt good.

Unfortunately now, the meds have left me with a diminished sex drive and I'm not living on my own the way I like. It will soon change though. Then I'll get right back to it on a regular basis.

Ha ha ha , who has time for this?

krisakira · Dec 13, 2013 at 12:48 AM

Ha, either 3 or 4. Yes I was getting there at that age. Mom caught me and told me it was bad for me but I kept doing it anyway, just was worried for a while that it was going to physically make me sick from what my mom said. Was raised in a conservative household so masturbation was a sin. But I was obsessed with it and even did it in school in k and 1st grade. Got into my teens and felt so guilty that I would cut myself afterwards. These days I know it's not wrong so I'm good now.

Does anyone know if it's normal to masturbate before being sexually active and/or before puberty in mentally healthy people or those who have not/are not been/being abused?

krisakira · Dec 13, 2013 at 06:41 PM

It is normal. I was not sexually abused by the time I was masturbating.

ocdwifeofsociopath · Dec 13, 2013 at 09:36 PM

This is honestly not meant to be rude but i meant in people without any mental disorders.

atomicc · Dec 13, 2013 at 09:45 PM

I was around 8 or 9.

OCD: yes, masturbating is normal in children before puberty and before being sexually active. Babies masturbate in the womb. The physiological reaction to masturbation is there before puberty. If kids find this out, then they may start masturbating.

Please don't misunderstand me. I meant absolutely no offense. I was asking because I from a curiosity of how the brain works. I wanted to know specifically because I wouldn't be surprised if mental disorders had an affect. So I wanted to know the flipside. I shouldn't have said anything.

I have memories of masturbating when I was 4 or 5. It wasn't the first time. I guess I must have started much earlier but I don't have those memories.

IzzyMeadows · Jan 06, 2014 at 05:05 PM

About 10 is when I first remember it. Not too long after I was abused :/
