The bottom line is that the masturbation is a natural habit, It does not any harm if it is done in as natural course.
Masturbation can happen at any age, as a girl who started masturbating at 5 after accidentally discovering the sensation (bathing, not touching), it's definitely possible and has nothing to do with family dysfunction. It's not a precursor to dysfunction either. I refrained from intercourse until my 20's near marriage. People are very quick to demonize something they do not understand or did not experience.
I been masterbating since i was five years old till now 18 years old,i want to lose my vi jay jay and have a baby now that im 18 but i am scared my vi jay jay would not work, would my vi jay jay still work if i masterbated for 14 years??
Reports say that even infants masturbate! But this doesnt mean they jerk off watching porn. It just means that masturbating is discovered by individuals at different ages. Some just do it involuntarily, like infants. Dont feel bad! I started at 5
Judgemental people annoy me! Just because a young child does something 'abnormal ' does not mean there family were a bunch of screw ups. Actually i started masterbating at an even earlier age and that was just because i was curious.
There is nothing wrong with that. Kids as young as 4 years old are curious about their body. It is perfectly healthy and normal to start at such a young age.
No offense but you are way out of whack, Judy246! I'm a 16 year old girl and I've been masturbating since I was very young, around 5 years old maybe, and it is definitely NOT because I was exposed to something "inappropriate" at that age or raised in a neglectful/abusive environment; my parents take good care of me, thank you very much! Little kids are just weird and curious; I discovered masturbation the same way many others did: being a curious young'n and poking around down there and discovering that it felt good! Your declaration of this poor young man's supposed "need" for counseling is ludicrous, offensive and a bit sickening to be honest.
Anyway, masturbating is natural, normal, and perfectly healthy as long as it doesn't get in the way of your life. The only effect on my lifestyle masturbation has had is keeping me a virgin, and tell me, folks like dear Judy246 here, would you rather have a chronic masturbator or a teenage sex fiend?! Haha.
I started masturbating since i was 6 too! I'm now 21 so...i've been practicaly mastrubating regularly almost everyday for uhm...15 years now! I haven't encountered any problems yet apart from not feeling any great gratification from sex, which i don't really mind, as long as mast. works out great for me.
Masterbating since the age of 6 yr. old? Unbelivable and very concern about the environment that you grew up in and what you have been exposed at such an early age. A 6 yr. should not know what masterbating is and to be honest, I think whatever you were exposed to is abusive and criminal. You need counseling in neglect and abuse.
dude what were you masterbating to charlie brown ..take it easy!
You could masturbate at six??? You could get hard at that age???
I started masturbating since I could get reliably hard under my own control (not the occasional involuntary erections that you occasionally get when you're younger), and before I could climax, and that was 25 years ago and it hasn't done me any harm yet.
It is entirely normal and natural for a young teenager to masturbate. Don't worry about it. Don't let it take over your life either!
