Childhood masturbation?

Contributor: Ahatmadeofshoes12 Ahatmadeofshoes12
I started masturbating around 3 or 4 (that I can remember). Although it was more of a "what is this part of my body" exploratory type of touch then orgasm focused sexual masturbation. I had my first orgasm at 12.

I was around three or four, though it was a self-exploration and stress-relief/comfort thing rather than a sexual thing. I stopped around age six, and didn't start again until adolescence. I had no idea what sex WAS until I was twelve or thirteen, or what "boy parts" were and how they differentiated from "girl parts".

And yeah, childhood masturbation =/= being molested as a child. While in some cases that can be so, making a sweeping generalization that is erroneous is pretty gross.

My first recollection of masturbation was as a 9 or 10 year old. However my daughter started pretty much right out of the womb - and never really stopped. By the time she was 6 or 7 she learned to do it in private.

On the other hand (no pun intended), we never observed my son masturbate until puberty. That doesn't mean it wasn't happening - we just didn't see it or evidence of it.

I was thirteen. It was summer time. I was in the shower thinking about this bad girl in my freshman PE class (we were coed back then) and WHAM! Without even touching my penis I had my first orgasm. Soon I learned the joy (and pain) of using soap to masturbate with. Then I discovered lotion. Then lube. And I've never looked back since...

I was 10. I started menstruating, and to avoid what my mother would consider an awkward conversation, she got me a library book about puberty, and it had a part in it where described the various parts of the vagina. It stated that the clitoris "feels good when it is rubbed," and it had a diagram that pointed each part out. I was curious, so that's when I started exploring. It took me a few months to find out that you can reach orgasm that way, and when it happened, I had no idea what an orgasm was, or if that was supposed to happen. It was so intense (in a good way, but I was totally unprepared for it), that I thought I had done damage to myself! I didn't masturbate again for a few weeks, but I eventually couldn't help myself. This time I was prepared for the results, and it was great. I don't remember when I found out what an orgasm was, but I remember feeling relieved that it was normal for that to happen, and I wasn't doing permanent damage to myself.

This is not the case at all, children touch their genitals as a source of comfort not for sexual gratification, it feels good so they do it, they aren't thinking about sex! It's part of exploring and understanding their bodies, attitudes like this create unnecessary shame for something that is perfectly natural!

hm, I honestly can't remember when I started "masturbating", though it depends on how you define it. I have touched myself for what feels like forever, but it was not always a sexual thing...sometimes I just liked having my hands down there, what can I say...I was little!

I definitely did not have an orgasm till college after buying my first vibe, though. That's when true masturbation really started.

i remember thinking it tickled when i was little, but didnt think much of it. i think i first actually masturbated when i was about 15, but couldnt understand what all the fuss about. i didnt try again until maybe 18 and orgasmed then.

I'm not completely sure at exactly what age I started masturbating, but it was somewhere between the ages 9-12. I didn't have my first orgasm from masturbating until I was about 14/15. Before that, i didnt even think it was possible for a girl to have a real orgasm. That's when I really started getting into masturbation.

I didn't masturbate until after I had sex for the first time, so I was probably around 18. I do remember that it was a very...old feeling.

I agree here with Kira I don't see how someone thinks all children who masturbated at a young age was molested. I was NOT molested an I was touching and everything when I was around 3ish or younger. Kids explore their bodies as they are curious WHAT it is and WHAT it does. Just because young children learn they have parts of them that make them feel good doesn't mean they were molested!!!!!


Don't ASSUME things about people just because they started exploring their own bodies long before others!!!!!!!!

Discovered my clitoris early on.. Around 4. I didn't stick my fingers in my pussy though until I saw the masturbation scene from American Pie. I was around 13 or 14 maybe.. I remember it doing nothing for me, and I stuck to my clit for orgasms until around 18.

I was never molested as a child either despite my masturbating at a very young age. This is not an anomaly. Like others have said, children will explore themselves, there's just no way around it.
