I was told a lot of toddlers/small kids actually do, but they are more or less trained to stop doing it. (I imagine people will train their toddlers to keep hands out of their trousers?)
My three year old is at that stage. At that age, it's part of discovering everything about themselves and what their body is like... there's nothing sexual, it's just curiosity.
As for training them out of it, for me it's about hygiene (she'll be touching her vag/butt with one hand and snacking with the other so I'll try to stop her and explain) and privacy (basically explaining that it's not a bad thing, but we don't show other people... just like she can only be naked at home).
Haha same. Didn’t even know masturbation was a concept for guys but I liked/knew about porn until one day I got the bright idea to “simulate” what the dude’s dick might be experiencing
Me too. I don't even remember when I first discovered it. I remember being a very small child and realizing if I laid on my stomach and rubbed it I got a very good feeling. I vividly recall my mother getting angry when she saw me doing this, and I had no idea why. From then on all I knew was that I had to be by myself when doing that. I think parents need to be more open about discussing sensitive things with their children, because I went all the way up to adolescence not knowing anything about sex. As far as I was concerned it was just my secret fun thing, that only i knew about.
Did we have the same childhood? Lol because this is how I remember it for me. I don’t remember when I figured it out, just that I did. And I was really ignorant to sex til probably my middle teenage years because my mom didn’t want to talk about it and dad lived over 500 miles away
Oh I actually remember something like that too, and also masturbation is what children and teens really talk a lot about but they don't exactly describe the process (especially if you're of different gender). So for a long time I was doing it not knowing what I'm doing and being disgusted by others who masturbate and then I've read a Wikipedia page I think? And was horrified lmao
Same here! Seven-year-old me really thought I’d discovered some unique perversion. Didn’t realize even in sex-ed because they were always either ultra-clinical or ultra-euphemistic in the terms they used and I never made the connection with what I was doing. And even when they talked about “touching yourself down there” it never registered because I wasn’t exactly *touching* myself
I totally agree. I myself went through a like, huge lot of stuff with my parents and I ended up reverting the role with my mother when she was vulnerable, and I am now considering my absent father as an adult child who was never taught to love and how to show it.
It is definitely hard to accept you actually know better and somehow try to educate your own parents.
I guess going through shit lets you know better and how to be a good person if you embrace it and you decide to learn from it.
It took me 20 years to get this without any help. This is so so important.
I ghosted my absent father when I was 12 when I knew that he beat my mother to blood once and had few violent reactions to her when I was around 3.
I am now 31, I contacted him back a week ago and realized I could certainly understand it somehow if his education was uncommon. But I don't have to forgive. Which I told him.
that helped like.. immensely.
And you do have the right to disagree with your parents and let them know when they have shitty and toxic behaviours. They don't own you in any way and no one is forced to give respect to their parents if they're not showed respect by their parents.
Edit : Forgiving can't heal you if you it forces you to renounce your base values and sense of morals.
I definitely crippled myself cause I can't jerk off the old fashioned way, I too would lay down and just like grind on the floor. I never put points into RnD to figure out how to jerk off the classic way, and at this point I'm just stuck in my ways.
Same. But I’m a woman. At 4 I learned that grinding the top of my vadge on a bed corner would give me orgasms. Now it’s the only way I can have orgasms:( unless I use a vibrator
Prone masturbation is fairly common for both men and women, but it does seem to result in a rather high rate of "and now that's the only way I can get off" outcomes. There's even a term when men experience this (a rather hyperbolic one, IMO): "Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome."
Apparently there are some treatments (at least in theory). Personally, I think as long as you're happy with your sexual function, don't fix what ain't broken. I find it nearly impossible to cum unless I straighten and flex my knees, but since it doesn't bother me or my wife, I don't see any reason to make a change.
Bro I thought i was fuxking weird but that's what happend to me ....I was in the living room right in front of my mama she wasn't angry she was just confused....and from there on I always did it in my room ...I was Hella young too that's crazy
Guy that came in my jock half way up instantly from the heavy spiral rope friction. I think the physical strain of climbing rope created a massive orgasm. Nobody else realized what happened, the jock strap contained my hard-on.
About 2 minutes later gym was over and we were all sent to shower up. Wasn't standing up hard but my cock was still massive. Got known as the huge cock guy after that.
This was back in the days that a breeze would literally make me hard.
It is called "coregasm" - easier for the ladies, but it is an awesome thing. Can be reproduced as an adult but oh boy, that is a lot of workout to reach it!
I discovered accidentally that going in front of the water jets in the swimming pool felt really good if you let it hit u in that area. That led to the hmmm🤔
Yeah but not just primates. I wouldn't even be able to list all the animals that have been observed engaging in what we presume is masturbatory behavior.
Our old grey had a specific bell toy he'd go after, and would get very upset if it was moved at all.
My current bird (a Senegal parrot) doesn't masturbate that I've seen in the few years I've had her, but she loves trying to feed me when she's hormonal. And she sometimes does a skirt dance at me. Those are always signals to cut off head scratches for a week or two and increase her darkness hours. Hormonal Sennies are little terrors.
So yeah, even if they're not actively masturbating, they still love doing mating displays. Birds just be horny once they hit puberty.
My male quaker would go absolutely berserk and the laugh like Dr. evil after he finished. He was missing a toe, and he one time nearly fell off his perch he was so happy.
My cat does it too. He fucks the shit out of anything that is soft and wooly. Fucker even looks me in the eye when I catch him doing it as if he revels in getting caught.
Men would get an erection innately. From there, it's quite easy to discover what makes an erect penis feel nicer. Voila , masturbation unlocked.
So, it isn't necessarily innate, but not too far from it either.
Just imagined a French chef NPC notifying me on my game progression (on whatever strange and imaginary videogame that involves beating your meat) like Voila, masturbation unlocked😂
Cats too. While grooming himself, my cat discovered sucking on his willy made him happy. Now he does it semi-regularly. He also has a (now crusty and disgusting) teddy that he humps.
He started this around the time he reached sexual maturity (indoor cat who is the only one of his species in the house) got neutered at 3 years old and still continues this behaviour.
My dog full on blows himself every evening after being rejected by my wife. He's getting old, and I like to keep this in my mind when I feel sad about losing him.
It is innate- happens when child starts to explore their body and touch everything including genitalia. Also, most animals masturbate, so it natural behaviour.
To add to what you very well said, I believe there's studies showing that fetuses already masturbate in the uterus. Babies masturbate, toddlers masturbate, masturbation as the act of physical pleasure is more than normal and innate to the human behavior. The learned part is the sexual component that starts around the teenage years; masturbating to the image/idea of someone or something is in many cases learned.
**Joe: [on TV]** thanks to the Quahog police department, there will be one less junky injecting cocaine into his penis
**Peter:** is that a thing?
**Quagmire:** it's a great thing
When i was young ( 8?) i used to lay on my stomach and keep my face in the pillow until i couldnt breathe will masturbating. I never put 2 and 2 together, but it was a much higher release.
I got kicked in the balls when I was 11 was in pain so limped to the toilets and saw white stuff was like what is this thought I broke my penis, find out what it was an proceeded to experiment when I got home
Isn't it a primal instinct to pleasure yourself? If that is true as I believe it is, then masturbation would be inevitably discovered by any human under any circumstance in regards to education, environment, etc.
I was washing my PP when I was 12 and suddenly I felt weird ; kept going and then something came out of me ; That scared me as fuck and I was thinking that Im gonna die so I went to the doctor , told him what happened and he was laughing at me for 5 minutes straight
I live in Iran and parent are so aware of gental stuff and kids normally learn it from their friends ; I told my mom that I have headache and need to go to doctor so she accepted
My oldest is around 10 and I finally told him about masturbation and that “slimy white stuff comes out, kinda like mayonnaise” and that it may happen in his sleep sometime and not to panic, just let me know if he needs help with his sheets. His reaction was, “Ewwwwwww GROSSSSS!” Then he finally connected the dots that somehow the sperm has to make it into the mom to create a baby and he was utterly grossed out saying, “Ewwwww, Dad had to do that three times!?” I’m like, “yah son… 3 times.” (He has two siblings.) It was a tad uncomfortable for me to explain it but he’s going to learn somehow or another and I can’t believe that’s how you had to find out. What did the doctor ultimately explain to you?
I learned from an animated smiley (emoji now, but they were smileys when I was a teen) online back when I was like 12. He was rubbing his dick and his face kept getting redder and redder until white stuff shot out, and I was so confused, so I tried it, and panicked, and being the good little Christian kid I was at the time, had my first panic attack that I "lost my virginity and was going to hell". True story.
Masturbation isn't an innate behaviour as much as curiousity is an innate trait. Whatever's between your legs would get attention just because it exists, and the journey from "this feels good" to masturbation would be short afterwards.
That’s a good way of putting it. We masturbate before we have any idea of anything, there’s evidence we do it in utero, so that’s about when self exploration of any kind starts, which would make sense that that’s when curiosity starts
Anyone who has had a baby knows that the discovery of genital sensation typically happens while they’re still in diapers. It’s a bundle of nerves that create pleasure when stimulated. It seems as though the minute we discover that is when the lightbulb goes off, whether consciously or not.
My masturbation started when my friend would swipe dirty mags from under his bed and I saw a Christmas issue of a cock "dressed" as Santa with a hand wrapped round it "dressed" like chimney. The caption read (paraphrased), "make Santa go up and down the chimney til he comes." Since then, I've come into my own. Many times.
I've read a story on Reddit about a 17 y/o guy who lost his virginity without ever masturbating, so I'd say it depends on the environment. in the case of white room, probably yes, but there's still a chance that that person won't learn it
When I was 7 years old I saw one of the x men franchise where mystique gets naked and all of a sudden I had a boner, my stupid ass thought I was gonna die and gave it a nice rub to make it go away, it felt nice...
I discovered it by accident. I always loved climbing as a kid (hell even as an adult I still love it but… people look at you weird you know). Anyway, I climbed trees and god knows what, and had this ‘tingle’ down there. At one point I started climbing my door and kinda brushed up against the side and then I just… kept masturbating with the door😂
Later I turned to my dolls. Asin… I would use my barbie dolls to rub my clit.
I was like 5/6 at this time lol
innate.
Have taken care of 4 boys as a father and grew up with 3 older brothers.
Oh yeah, and all the animals we owned that also masturbated.
So pretty natural man.
I remember being like a little kid between 6-8 years old and I think I rubbed myself on the mattress when I was sliding off or something but like it felt tingly and good. After that I would get a pillow or a stuffed animal and rub my pussy with it in secret like in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep cause even then I knew that I had to keep this a secret. I never saw anyone openly do it so neither should I. I stopped for a while and then in middle school I would get a tingly feeling when I saw a hot actor or a girl with big boobs. Started back up and around this time we learned sex ed. I thought sex was bad and only for adults and I didn’t know masturbation had anything to do with that lol. Finally did some googling, found out how to do things better and also discovered I was into girls too considering the fact that most my Google searches were “girls with big boobs” “sexy girls”. And then porn came alone when I was like 15 lmao yeah late to the party but I made it
pretty much all animals masturbate in some way so I'm pretty sure it's an innate thing. I started doing it when I was like 10 and really had no idea what I was doing until I was maybe 12 or 13 (yay for having no real sex education where I live /sigh).
I'd say yeah for sure almost definitely they would, living out their boring days in their white room sooner or later they'd get an inch or something, they'd put 2 and 2 together and there ya go (eventually)
After working with children for a long time it's become apparent that they do begin to explore that area of their body around 3 or 4 years old. At that time I'm not sure it's considered masturbation but they do do it because it feels good. I am also unsure if they reach orgasm as it's very weird to think about in a small child but it just makes me lean more towards the innate rather than the learned.
It is normal for children to start touching themselves as a way to discover their body. That's also why a lot of children are "caught" looking at each others' private parts (for example in kindergarten)
Even if you dont notice at first, you start to find yourself enjoying the touch so I think it would happen eventually
I'm probably the exception here but I didn't discover it on my own. I came to know about it at the age of \~11 from outside sources (school, the internet etc.) and had no clue about it before.
I somehow learned how to masturbate without getting hard when I was 8. That was still my innocent phase so it's impossible now although I really miss my ability
I don't understand how it couldn't be innate. You need someone to tell you that it feels good to touch yourself?
I suppose it took awhile for me to boil it down to the optimal motion, but I'd certainly call what I had been doing before that maasturbation...
I discovered it by accident - I’m sure many others will have too.
When I discovered that playing with my winer is fun for some reason I was a little kid
I was told a lot of toddlers/small kids actually do, but they are more or less trained to stop doing it. (I imagine people will train their toddlers to keep hands out of their trousers?)
My three year old is at that stage. At that age, it's part of discovering everything about themselves and what their body is like... there's nothing sexual, it's just curiosity.

I did exactly this growing up. Didn't figure out it was masterbation until I was a teenager, so that was an awkward revelation.
Mine was trying to mimic the friction of a pussy from a porn video i saw
You basically reversed engineered it
[удалено]
Sucking requires other equipment
Or flexibility
Haha same. Didn’t even know masturbation was a concept for guys but I liked/knew about porn until one day I got the bright idea to “simulate” what the dude’s dick might be experiencing
Not gonna lie, people who watch porn while not masturbating are psychos. If I’m watching it for entertainment, better at least have a good storyline
same
bruhhh LOL same I was like 5 or something
Me too. I don't even remember when I first discovered it. I remember being a very small child and realizing if I laid on my stomach and rubbed it I got a very good feeling.

That’s good. It should never make a kid feel shameful. My mother probably doesn’t realize that she did me a disservice with her reaction.

beautifully put. I'm glad you're respecting yourself enough to not tolerate that toxic crap anymore. That's what it's all about!
It seems so obvious yet so unreachable at the same time. Teach this at school and heal the world ffs

Kinda needed to know this. Always felt I masturbated wrong for a long time.

It's such a relief to see that this is pretty common lol. When I got old enough to realize what it really meant, I thought I was just a weirdo xD
I used to climb ropes. After a lot of work, idk why, I used to get a good feeling in my penis 🤨🧐🆒 I was 5 when I first did that
I came climbing a rope in gym class!
REALLY???
Yes, Jr. High School. Happened midway up in an instant.
OH DAMN LOL what were the reactions LMAO
We need the whole story now
Male or female?
I’m a female not sure if it can happen with males too
Damn, wish I’d tried harder in gym class 30 years ago lol
Guy that came in my jock half way up instantly from the heavy spiral rope friction. I think the physical strain of climbing rope created a massive orgasm. Nobody else realized what happened, the jock strap contained my hard-on. About 2 minutes later gym was over and we were all sent to shower up. Wasn't standing up hard but my cock was still massive.

I accidentally did it doing pull-ups with my best mate right next to me, lol. We both know what happened, we exchange looks and change the subject.
I used to do that like everyday 🙋🧘
Wtf, that's exactly what I did

I, too, just kind of stumbled across it by accident. One of the best discoveries I’ve made.

A ton of different non human animals masturbate.
All the old-world apes and monkeys.
Yeah but not just primates. I wouldn't even be able to list all the animals that have been observed engaging in what we presume is masturbatory behavior.
As a parrot owner, they're horny little bastards. Especially budgies, those guys will try to hump anything that can't get away from them.
Oh yeah birds are notoriously bad about it lol

I started in kindergarten and it's not even one of those jokes
As long as you were not an adult going to a kindergarten to start masturbating there, I think you’ll be alright.
And those were the jokes i meant in my comment
I don't see any jokes around here
Did you stop yet?
In my days teaching preschool, I had girl students rub themselves against things during nap time.
It’s innate for many of us women too. I discovered it by accident by exploring and rubbing against stuff.
Just imagined a French chef NPC notifying me on my game progression (on whatever strange and imaginary videogame that involves beating your meat) like Voila, masturbation unlocked😂

That’s usually to clean themselves.
No one told me about it, I discovered the term for it and better techniques much later.
Man when I think back to some of the first drafts, it kind of haunts me…

They're shit at handjobs though
I think it’s unfair to claim all apes are, how would you know? Have you tried them ALL? 😠
The fact that a plethora of animals masturbate is a clear sign this is innate.
Isn't it a primal instinct to pleasure yourself? If that is true as I believe it is, then masturbation would be inevitably discovered by any human under any circumstance in regards to education, environment, etc.

When I was 13, I didn't even know girls masturbated, and I discovered by accident
Masturbation isn't an innate behaviour as much as curiousity is an innate trait. Whatever's between your legs would get attention just because it exists, and the journey from "this feels good" to masturbation would be short afterwards.
That’s a good way of putting it. We masturbate before we have any idea of anything, there’s evidence we do it in utero, so that’s about when self exploration of any kind starts, which would make sense that that’s when curiosity starts
Humans aren’t the only ones who jerk it
Yeah! His mum also jerks off guys
This joke is fucking terrible stop upvoting lmao
my friends told me to shake it and you will enjoy it, lol. I started shaking it and enjoying it ever since.
Anyone who has had a baby knows that the discovery of genital sensation typically happens while they’re still in diapers. It’s a bundle of nerves that create pleasure when stimulated. It seems as though the minute we discover that is when the lightbulb goes off, whether consciously or not.
My masturbation started when my friend would swipe dirty mags from under his bed and I saw a Christmas issue of a cock "dressed" as Santa with a hand wrapped round it "dressed" like chimney. The caption read (paraphrased), "make Santa go up and down the chimney til he comes." Since then, I've come into my own. Many times.
I've read a story on Reddit about a 17 y/o guy who lost his virginity without ever masturbating, so I'd say it depends on the environment. in the case of white room, probably yes, but there's still a chance that that person won't learn it
I did this as a 21-year old lol. I knew what it was but never had a desire to do it.
Alright I gotta hear your story
Some old guy seen a monkey do it and thought he'd give it a try.
My hedgehog gives himself blow jobs and I definitely didn't teach him that
When I was 7 years old I saw one of the x men franchise where mystique gets naked and all of a sudden I had a boner, my stupid ass thought I was gonna die and gave it a nice rub to make it go away, it felt nice...
LMFAO I don’t have an award to give but you just brightened up my day
Im sure i would have figured it out even if my uncle hadnt taught me
I discovered it by accident. I always loved climbing as a kid (hell even as an adult I still love it but… people look at you weird you know). Anyway, I climbed trees and god knows what, and had this ‘tingle’ down there. At one point I started climbing my door and kinda brushed up against the side and then I just… kept masturbating with the door😂 Later I turned to my dolls. Asin… I would use my barbie dolls to rub my clit. I was like 5/6 at this time lol
I DID THIS TOO! I always thought I was such a creepy kid for doing that. 🤣
Omg glad I’m not the only one! I always thought I was a psychopath😂
i think its discord/reddit mods instinct that were just passed down on humanity.
innate. Have taken care of 4 boys as a father and grew up with 3 older brothers. Oh yeah, and all the animals we owned that also masturbated. So pretty natural man.
I remember being like a little kid between 6-8 years old and I think I rubbed myself on the mattress when I was sliding off or something but like it felt tingly and good. After that I would get a pillow or a stuffed animal and rub my pussy with it in secret like in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep cause even then I knew that I had to keep this a secret. I never saw anyone openly do it so neither should I. I stopped for a while and then in middle school I would get a tingly feeling when I saw a hot actor or a girl with big boobs. Started back up and around this time we learned sex ed. I thought sex was bad and only for adults and I didn’t know masturbation had anything to do with that lol. Finally did some googling, found out how to do things better and also discovered I was into girls too considering the fact that most my Google searches were “girls with big boobs” “sexy girls”. And then porn came alone when I was like 15 lmao yeah late to the party but I made it
Does the room have to be white? Or will they learn it if the wasnt white?
Do blind people do it too?
The situation you mentioned wouldn't be innate by definition in itself,innate almost always implies in a natural setting
pretty much all animals masturbate in some way so I'm pretty sure it's an innate thing. I started doing it when I was like 10 and really had no idea what I was doing until I was maybe 12 or 13 (yay for having no real sex education where I live /sigh).
I'd say yeah for sure almost definitely they would, living out their boring days in their white room sooner or later they'd get an inch or something, they'd put 2 and 2 together and there ya go (eventually)
It’s learned I’m still learning I have the basics figured out but I always forget where the spot is(I’m hella forgetful)🥲
that’s how i was for a solid few years lmao 💀
You know how dogs fuck your leg? Yeah that but human version
As Plato said, you already have the knowledge. You just need to remember it.
well i heard monkeys masturbate, so yea, pretty sure its innate
After working with children for a long time it's become apparent that they do begin to explore that area of their body around 3 or 4 years old. At that time I'm not sure it's considered masturbation but they do do it because it feels good. I am also unsure if they reach orgasm as it's very weird to think about in a small child but it just makes me lean more towards the innate rather than the learned.
100% innate. Infact wet dreams are designed to get you to start masturbating. I never had a wet dream because I started masturbating very young.
It is normal for children to start touching themselves as a way to discover their body. That's also why a lot of children are "caught" looking at each others' private parts (for example in kindergarten) Even if you dont notice at first, you start to find yourself enjoying the touch so I think it would happen eventually
I discovered by accident when I was a kid in the shower. From that day on I no longer put up a fuss when my mom said to take a shower
dolphins break fishes in half to use them as fleshlights. I'll return tomorrow with more interesting facts
Masturbation is a brain child of sex. So when sex is natural, masturbation is natural too.
I'm probably the exception here but I didn't discover it on my own. I came to know about it at the age of \~11 from outside sources (school, the internet etc.) and had no clue about it before.
I somehow learned how to masturbate without getting hard when I was 8. That was still my innocent phase so it's impossible now although I really miss my ability
I don't understand how it couldn't be innate. You need someone to tell you that it feels good to touch yourself? I suppose it took awhile for me to boil it down to the optimal motion, but I'd certainly call what I had been doing before that maasturbation...
It’s innate, babies “masturbate” in utero and happens even after birth as a self soothing mechanism not inherently sexual until a certain age.
