Childhood masturbation?

Contributor: Stinkytofu10 Stinkytofu10
There are a number of articles that refer to childhood masturbation as a commonplace activity, especially when the child is beginning to explore their bodies. Some articles state up to 30-40% of children masturbate at one time or another before they are 5 years old, some give more conservative estimates.

When was the first time you masturbated, and when was your first orgasm from masturbation?

Yeah, this doesn't apply to me. I honestly didn't touch down there at all until I was 21, and the first time I played I had an orgasm.

The first time I did it on purpose was maybe 13-14. I've never been able to orgasm from hands/non-vibrating toys alone, so I tentatively think my first orgasm was earlier this week with my new toy.

I don't really remember anything from when I was 5 or younger, so it's entirely possible.

I was around 17 the first time and orgasmed then, too.

I didn't really start until around 15, when I figured out how to orgasm. Before that I wasn't too motivated to masturbate, understandably.

I picked two, I voted for under 3 and between 3-5, but if you knew what happened to me you would know why. It is sick stuff, but it made me have sexual feelings a lot sooner than I should of.

18 the first time I tried it, decided it wasn't worth my time and only revisited masturbation years later at 20-21, when I finally figured it out by accident.

I think for the most part those statistics are based on children touching themselves out of curiosity, not for sexual gratification, and thus I find it hard to consider that masturbation.

I'm pretty sure I was 11 or so the first time I really got experimental...as far as I remember, at least.

I started to masturbate really young, around 4ish. I didn't realize it was a sexual thing, it just felt good and helped me relax. I can't remeber my first orgasm but I know I've been having them since elementary school.

6 to 8 was when I started. I discovered it one day on the monkey bars at the playground haha. While trying to climb up the pole I guess it was really straining my groin muscles or something caused me to orgasm. Weird Surprising how young some people are when they started!

I think my first time was when I was 9, and I orgasmed from it. I don't recall exactly what I was doing though. It's a very foggy memory.

I masturbated just about every day in 3rd grade through to the end of elementary school, less so throughout middle school but still regularly. I always orgasmed but my orgasms got stronger later on, naturally. I do remember that I didn't start "getting wet" until after I'd been masturbating externally for a few years, and I remember not liking it at all. I was still masturbating through my underpants at that time so body fluids made things messy. I didn't like having to clean up afterward. I think that may have been what dissuaded me from masturbating every day in middle school.

I took this course on human sexuality and the book says that baby's play with themselves and can achieve orgasms at three months old! That's insane! I don't even remember a time before I started but that's just me : )

I orgasmed the first time I masturbated, and was around 13 years old. Nothing like putting one of those vibrating "wiggle" pens to alternate use!

I think I was around 5. I think I was "shaking" after using the bathroom one day and decided to do it for a little longer and found out it felt pretty good.

I remember doing it when I was really young (about 4), and being told not to. I didn't seriously start/orgasm until about 15 or 16 years old.

I was 10 when I started touching myself, but I didn't bring myself to orgasm for a while, not totally sure when I started doing that, probably within a year or two after I first started.

The first time I masturbated I was maybe 13 and I didn't reach orgasm because when I started to feel really hot and aroused down there, my brain perceived it as pain rather than pleasure and I freaked out. I didn't try again until I was 14 and dating a guy who was two years older than I was, and I knew he was sexually active before me, so it made me wonder what an orgasm was like. That time I orgasmed.

Around age 4 or 5. And I wasn't molested, for the record. Don't assume things about an entire group. While that may be the case for many, it is not the case for all.
