masturbation and the military

[13788]

DJM277: Any here ever served in the military? I was wondering how common is masturbation .Do they actually come out and say they perfer you don't do it?Also did you ever hear or see evidence that other guys did while at bootcamp or stationed somewhere?

I would imagine the urge to masturbate would be less due to the strenous training and exercise. But even with a lack a privacy I still don't think I could have even made 6 weeks in bootcamp with having a pull.

I was in the US Army 2000-2003. Jerking off was fairly common in basic training, AIT (job specific training), the barracks, and on deployment overseas. Very few people cared any at all about privacy. Many times it was done out in the open in bay showers or in sleeping areas. Once someone “broke the ice” of being open about it, many others followed and were less secretive about it.

Great thread. I'll add my response about one such event. Originally posted in thread about "how long have you gone without cumming".

Guess it was about eight weeks.

Couldn't go eight weeks without cumming now. Ha. But that was during basic training. As others stated just too tired to do it. Though the guy in bunk next to me did on a fairly regular basis.

When I finally did, it was rather adventorous. I was to relieve the fire guard and do my duty for an hour. He woke me. I dressed and prepared to takeover. He motioned for me to follow him to latrine. He had a sly grin and asked me to guard the stalls for a minute. I knew exactly what he was going to do. He didn't take long. Couldn't help but get curious. When he was done he came out and said "thanks" and handed me a Playboy magazine his bro sent him from home. He offered to guard stall if I wanted some privacy. Remember it turned me on. Really turned me on once I was in stall and could see babes on the pages in the dim light. Cock got rock hard. Quickly. He came over and asked if flashlight would help. I said yea and he cracked open stall and stood in doorway shining light on pages as my cock grew. I was so turned on. I stretched my legs and leaned back. He watched me jerk and it turned me on. I felt all that cum stirring. Soon I couldn't stop and let it flow. Squirt after squirt. Must've been 12 - 15 great squirts. I was covered all over my chest and some on the stall wall. He kinda blurted out "damn". I laughed and started to clean my chest off. He said "man that's fucking hot". We smiled. I put my cock away. We never talked about it again, just smiled knowingly at each other afterwards. Respect.

Entirely possible to mix masculinity and masturbation and curiosity in the military. Respect is key.

My experience was quite different, I spent a while in the German military and masturbation was universally acknowledged and accepted as a basic male need, and ejaculating was almost a daily body function like pissing and taking a shit. This was over 20 years ago, so things might have changed, but back then, porn was everywhere (mags and VHS/DVD) and was shared and exchanged, jo comments and jokes happened, and yes people did get caught but nobody got disciplined or reprimanded because of it, and it is absolutely beyond me as to why that would happen, shaming a man for doing what's natural to him. Maybe thats a US thing? Also, this was military service so we were a bunch of horny 18 and 19 and 20 year olds away from gfs and pussy, so stuff is gonna happen, there were even a few circle jerks over porn, and people did get caught.

Speaking of getting caught, I actually caught my commander back then, which shows how common and not a big deal it was. He was in his early 50s, a gray haired silver fox, killer shape body not just for his age, and packing serious meat, a real case of 'authority cock'. He was a bit of an asshole tho, quite aggressive and yelled a lot, stereotypical drill instructor, and very comfortable with nudity and instilled that into a of us, his motto being 'we are all men here, no need to behave like a bunch of girls '.

We frequently had power marches through the forest and one time he called for a collective piss break, he was first one to unzip and we all lined up, and he yelled 'everyone number 1, hope nobody needs a number 2. Save the number 3s for later' (there was a masturbation comment).

Once when pressed for time he held a squad meeting with us in his quarters while he was in and out of the shower, he just carried on with his business and the meeting while he was toweling off in front of us, and we all got a good look at his porn stash when he opened a drawer to reach for fresh underwear (he was clearly into big tits based on the magazine covers).

Some time after that, me and two of my fellow squad members urgently needed to talk to our commander about something (too long ago not sure what the issue was) so we went to his quarters and heard the shower running so not thinking anything stepped into the bathroom which was a small gang shower with like 3 shower heads and we catch him furiously whacking a massive erection. He saw us and was like "what the hell, get lost and wait outside till I'm done!". While he was certainly startled he did not freak out or tried to turn around or frantically cover up. After a while he came out, toweling off with a big swinging limp cock, as if nothing at all had happened, and he was like 'ok so what did you need to talk about'. One of the guys was like 'sorry about that before' and coach gave him a glare, snapping 'seriously?? This is the military, we are all men here, so leave your dignity at the door!', and then with a smirk he added 'at least you boys know now what a real man looks like'.

It was not mentioned again, but it perfectly sums up the prevailing attitude.

I recently retired from the Army and masturbation is commonplace. Both on self and others. Brothers are taught to lend one another a hand and that applies to everything from my experience. Of course you have to keep it down low but in my time I have been stationed around the globe - Germany, Afghanistan, you name it and I have assisted and been assisted by dozens of guys. Inalwaus seemed to find some place to crank one out. My favorite was once in my chinook (helicopter) while waiting on my brothers to load some cargo.

You can’t be around that manybstrapping young men 24/7 without getting aroused and you just have to cream one out.

I was in the US Navy from 1984 until 1994. Never heard of anyone jacking off during boot camp. Too tired and assumed they put salt peter in our food. There were 80 of us in my company and we were naked around each other a lot. I don't remember ever seeing a guy with an erection nor did I get one. At our graduation from boot camp, my parents flew down to attend it and rented a hotel room that weekend. Since we were allowed to spend time with our families, we spent the day at Disney World. I remember going to the hotel room to take a shower and while alone in there trying to jack off. It took forever, but finally I busted a nut. Later while on my first Aircraft Carrier, we had a guy who would freely say, "I'm gonna go up to the Chaplains head and jack off. It was one of the only heads on the ship that was truly private. This guy used to sleep nude and take his time getting dressed in the morning. Looking back I wonder if he was looking for someone to go and jack off with him. I was so naïve back then. I do remember he'd always let us know he was going to do it then kind of hang around for a bit afterward then go up and do it. When he'd come back he'd always rub his hands in someone's face and make remarks about how good his cum tasted. He was so goodlooking. Never experienced another person like him on any of the other carriers I served on.

i went through marine bootcamp and i dont remember jacking off at all just flat so tired from the day you took a shower and fell asleep that was in 85 plus you really had no privacy in bootcamp the DI,s are always around but you did have the ability to see every guy nude and see how you compare to them and guys did get boners in the shower but everyone acted as though nothing happened.

HornyVeteran: I was in Basic training for the military back in '96. Guys who had a lot of pent up jizz either got off in the morning, in the toliet stalls while the showers masked the sounds...or at night in your bunk with one leg up and a sock or towel to catch the well deserved loads. Basic training was awesome. 50 or so young, dumb, horny guys spending time together for weeks. The last night a guy in our bay (2 bays 25 or so in each room) named Oda from the mountains of VA jacked off in his bunk after lights out for all to see. Then a guy from the other bay streaked wearing just a sock over his junk. Basic training was a good time indeed!!!

Never in the military myself, but have friends who were in Vietnam.
Said they never sucked so much dick.
All night long one guy stayed in the stall, while the line
was out to the bunks.
Said he serviced some of the biggest cocks he ever encountered
while in the army.

Back to the original beginning ... I served in U.S. Army 1969-1972 ... 19 years old in basic training & a daily masturbator from age 14 or so ... I probably didn't jerk-off until about the 3rd week of basic training, but after being awakened by an enormous boner in the middle of night, I quickly returned to my daily habit. I always did it undercovers in my bunk. It took me awhile to realize that my jerking-off caused the bunk to sway & squeak, so I had to learn new techniques in order to maintain my modesty. I don't recall receiving any "commandment" regarding masturbation while in the military. Homosexuality was never discussed, possibly because this was the "draft/Viet Nam" fiasco era (didn't want to lose potential personnel).

During AIT, I recall one enlisted reserve that was definitely effeminate. Guys began harassing him, and he never permitted the "bullies" to upset him too much - don't know how it was handled by the commandment. One day he claimed to have had a relationship with a famous New York Jet football player, and he was surrounded by a dozen guys curious about his encounter. Really amazing how the harassment ended so quickly.

All we could do at sea was try to jerk off in a toilet stall half the size of an airplane toilet with a PO (who thought it stood for pissed off) banging on the door every 5 minutes to hurry up. Whenever on base I think the navy got a great deal on the world's squeakiest mattresses. Just trying to give it a stroke or 2 would give the catering corps on the other side of the base tinnitus.

I was in the military in two services over 8 years. We literally always had no hangups. Jerked off and shared porn a lot. Usually in those days before every deployment we filled up a 1Tb external drive with as much smut as possible. We all knew we would be sharing it with our fellow bros to get through a long campaign. We all watched it regularly together, and nobody cared. We all had a laugh and if anything it made us tighter as a division.

sapman1000: I AM in the Army, and we used to always just jack off in the shower, sometimes two or three guys. The showers at Ft. Gordon are long 8 man showers. GREAT place to watch others! It really didn't matter when, I would always jack off, and there were often times others who started and then stopped and left cause I was jacking off. Hmm? I have to admit, although I have had a lot of gay sex in the military, strangely enough there were never any gay overtones. It was just accepted as "normal".

I was in HM's Royal Marines for half a lifetime. It wasn't uncommon to "give a mate a hand", but my first sergeant really introduced me to the delights of homosex. He had an amazing ability - one minute he would be sucking your cock, and the next minute, without you realising what was happening, his cock would be up your arse. He taught me the supreme pleasure of cumming while your prostate is being massaged. That was years before AIDS, so perhaps it couldn't happen now.

 

[RoadKing55]

As I said I had 20 years of military life so I seen things over the years. One day I was the CQ or charge of quarters as it was called. Basically you just stayed awake all night and answer the phone for the unit. This one night a fellow solider came down to the CQ ara and said I need to check out something. Sp off we go towards his room, he opens the door to the two man room and there laid his room mate on his bed passed out, totally naked expected for his hard dick which had a sock on it. Seems he was jacking and fell asleep.

Another time we had a health and farewell inspection, these are inspections of every thing in the unit to make sure there are no dangerous objects (weapons, drugs etc) in the barracks. In one wall locker they found a pill bottle with no label on it. One of the inspectors, a high ranking NCO took the cap off to check it out. In doing so he spilled the contents in his hands, it was full of a white sticky substance, cum. Seem that guy was running his own sperm bank.

i'm assuming that all showers in basic and beyond in the military are open, gang-style showers like we had in my high school locker room. how could you jack in these showers with other guys showering along side? wouldn't this cause problems?

also - were erections common in these showers? i don't recall any boners when i showered after practice in high school but i wasn't living with a gang of hot, fit horny young soldiers.

I was showering with about 40 other people and from nowhere my cock decided to wake up. I turned the water to cold and faced the wall. Some of the guys teased me. One or two started to develop their own semi erections. Erections are contagious. I had some buddies want to have a closer look at a later stage. Was a lot of mutual masturbation going on. One night over the weekend during a late night shower a friend who had been in the Airforce pub came in for a pee. He was chatting to me and I suggested he get under the other shower to warm up. Cape Town is cold during winter. We both landed up getting boners and having a furious wank whilst looking out and hoping no one else came into the ablution block building. We didn't discuss it ever. It happened again a few times, but we didn't talk about it.

I am ex-military. And you do NOT want to get caught masturbating at all. Tho all men do it. It's sad that if someone walks in on you...specialy in the military... to often you will be shamed for a very long time over it. I was and have walked in on buds, room mates...and we never said anything to anyone else about it. But that was a friend. Once in basic... a guy was caught in the john masturbating. the guy that caught him, went straight to our drill instructor and told him. ALL of us were asked to form a circle around this guy. About 75 of us made a huge circle...where the "kid" a 19 yr old was told to stand in front of everyone. While the Drill instructor SHAMED him beyond belief. Twenty minutes at least. You could see the guy shaking from the embarassment of it all. We all felt badly. At the same time.... I doubt ANYONE liked the guy. He was an absolute jackass. He picked on the smaller guys. And acted as if he were a drill sargent. After it was over....before we were dismissed, the instructor told the guy he was giving him a hard time....he said "it is natural and normal for all men to masturbate." The embarassed recruit was finally broke and treated most everyone with much more respect. Shame can be a great teacher... obviously the Drill instructor was a bit harsh...yet he did teach the guy to be a bit more respectful of everyone.

I spent one year in the army i was in the marines. during basic training(4 weeks) i was to tired to jerk off (that is the longest time i stopped masturbating), but after that i would do it every time i could. i would jerk off during my guard time in the night, in the showers , i masturbated lots of times with other guys too. We would sneek into our comanders office we all had porn movies in our lockers and we would put a movie in the pc and jerk off (everyone with his cock)

 

[bighosenow]

I think I can speak for the average soldier, sailor, airman, marine on this subject. Never saw anyone jerking in basic training. You don't have a lot of time to yourself and not a lot of time to even think about much sexual.

Now after basic - either in AIT or Technical School - you get more freedom and even have the chance to hook up with females. I'd estimate most jerk in the shower because after basic there were single showers (this isn't always the case). Girl soldiers are horny too and hook ups occur. I have a great story from my time in this situation.

Totally agree about no J/O time during basic training. After the 2nd week I started having "wet dreams" a couple of times a week. Guess my body was telling me to "take care of this dude or I'll do it for you".

 

[ohiorod]

From what I remember, basic training was just too exhausting to even think about jacking off! But, I do remember some of the sausage fest of the showers!
