The pleasures of Masturbation and the inherit guilt around it makes it a subject of contradiction for most. Whether religious or parental, societal we are often reluctant to admit that we do it or worst that somehow by doing it we are somehow not normal or worst amoral.

In the sixties and seventies we initially had the SEARS catalog maybe and then gravitated towards our dad’s collection of either Playboy or Penthouse.

God forbid you were Catholic like I was raised and you were told it violated the 6th commandment.

WTF?

Now days there is so much more information provided to young adults and adults alike about the healthy benefits of Masturbation?

Personally maybe not daily but often I freely admit to not only having a healthy sexual appetite which includes SEX but I also make time to Masturbate. My solo pleasure is very enjoyable and aided sometimes with the marvel invention of the internet and PornHub.com or checking our posters on LPSG or just plain old fashion fantasy.

So I assume most here Masturbate but what are feelings about it. Are you healthy about it or do you somehow feel guilty or is it a conflict of your religion?

Here are two examples of what young people today have access to that many of us Baby Boomers wish we had.

It's normal and healthy but I had a lot of guilt over it for a long time. I grew up in a conservative religious family. Anything sex related was considered dirty and masturbation was "sinful" and should be avoided. I wouldn't dare tell anyone that I did it.

I'm trying to do the opposite with my kids and be much more open with them. I have two boys and they have more knowledge than I ever did.

Grew up with parents who had open views on sex related things. Everyone masturbates and I never had shame or embarassment over it. I do it everyday, multiple times many days, and love edging. Always been that way and never thought of it as bad, just a normal bodily need of release.

Never any guilt for me. Can't imagine that. Then again... I do have a few odd thoughts about it. What if I'm "that guy" in the assisted living home that keeps grabbing himself..?:p

I logically know it to be a normal and healthy behavior. However, I'm not totally removed from attenuating my sexual expression in the presence of whom I desire sexual attention; namely women in general, more specifically whomever my SO is...
That's really where any ill feelings still remain about masturbation, the viewpoint of my desired sexual audience...Say whatever you want, I know the unicorn ladies of this forum won't concur, or "cant relate", and I acknowledge that the average mothers of today are probably far better about this for their sons then in years past...but your average ciswoman exudes disgust at the idea of most straight men masturbating and imply a degree of deviant behavior is at play, and when it comes to their SOs a degree of entitlement comes in, where a man that has a sexual outlet besides her is some sort of blow to her ego, and paramount to a minor form of infidelity, especially if she is not the object he masturbates to.
When your average woman views a man masturbating as mundane and routine as shaving, and that attitude is reflected societally is probably when I'll feel more comfortable and less conflicted about masturbation....I'm not holding my breath.

I sorta had a switch turn off in my late 30's and it does absolutely NOTHING for me! 0 interest in jacking myself off no matter how horned I am, and really not big on someone else doing it for me either? I don't know why I feel this way, but through the years as it builds over a few days I start to drip, and I mean puddles. I get sex pretty often I think, at least a few times a week, and in between I have grown to love the tension and build up that comes from no release.

A bit like indidude. A cousin tried to get me into mutual masturbation but it was abuse to me, as I did not respond and in fact tried to keep him off as I was not supposed to touch THAT organ. Later when I matured I came to enjoy it, obviously but by then he was off the scene. Some shame at one time...but that has long gone

To me, masturbation is one of many necessary components of a healthy sex like. I'm bi and I already fuck a lot, but there are lots of times when I just want to have my lubed cock in my fist, and maybe a butt plug up my ass, hot porn on the screen, as I settle down to an afternoon of pleasure. I never worry about jerking off too much. My body will tell me when it's enough

Most Western religions will teach that any sexual expression towards anyone other than your opposite-sex spouse is sinful. That would include masturbation, since it's towards yourself, not your spouse.

The arguments made tend towards these:
- dissipation: you're expending time and energy on selfishness instead of sharing it with your spouse;
- impure thoughts: sexual thoughts about someone who probably isn't your spouse (mental cheating);
- procreation: you're not making more little church members.

My thoughts: if you're not taking anything away from your spouse (they're getting as much from you as they want), then some "me time" isn't necessarily bad. How you get aroused for it, however, could be an issue for your spouse; they may not appreciate your porn use for example.

I'm currently widowed, though I'm seeing someone who may one day be my wife. We aren't currently sexual with each other; we both agree on that boundary (sex is for marriage). We don't discuss our "me time" habits (at least we haven't yet).

I have been doing it for about 45 years. I convinced my wife to do it about 2 years ago, and with the help of her bullet vibe, she has incredible orgasms. I just wish that I could see inside her head when she is playing with Buzz.

Here's my two cents. I was overdoing it. To the point where even now I have to have some form of manual stimulus to get fully rock hard. Main culprit dun dun dun...porn. If you do it I say use your imagination like it should be. Some are porn addicts with high sex drives and there's no issues I bet. Me though porn ruined it for a while. I was jacking to it up to 7 to 8 times a day. Like a comedian Tom Segura said " I'll go again but it hurts" lol

I have been doing this for more than 20 years almost on a daily basis. The first years I felt uncomfortable after the act, not because of the consequences of a religious formation, but because of the simple bigotry of my parents who absolutely did not want to talk about sex.

I love it!!! BUT, I hate that every porn studio sex scene ends with the top masturbating on an open mouth or on the butt. The partners should get each other off in a sex scene. Masturbation should be saved for when you are alone. I don't care to watch other people do it. As an erotic masseur you got jacked off if you weren't sexy. If you were sexy I would suck a load out of the you. No one had to jack off to cum if I was sucking them.
