Hey guys,
Quite new here. I'm just wondering how wierd I am in that I have never once masterbated (I am aged 17). I am sexually active though. For whatever reason I never started when most lads were talking about it and though I've watched porn I don't get greatly aroused by it.
Am I exposing myself to any possible sexual problems for the future (I have been able to perform thus far)?


The story on wet dreams is this: Not all guys have them and of those who do, they may only happen a handful of times in any one person's life. So, do not place any sense of normalcy on frequency.
Personally, I believe you owe it to yourself to get checked out and perhaps have your hormone levels checked while you're at it.
No one can tell you why you were unable to perform, however, Performance Anxiety would be high on my list and this usually fixes itself with time and familiarity along with a feeling of confidence and comfort with each other.
idk. I actually never masterbated before i was sexually active. I still dont do it to often, and when i do i use a vibrator.. I just dont get off on it as much. I am not sure how many other girls dont masterbate, but at least to me its not weird. lol.
I can honestly say I have not once had the urge to wank. I have had maybe 5 or 6 wet dreams in my entire life. Is there a chance I might have a low level of testostorone (sp??)?
Is it something I should get checked out, I did have trouble getting an erection when I was trying to lose my virginity. We had to try on three or four occasions before I was eventually able to maintain a hard enough erection for sex (after she agreed to come to bed naked).
I had assumed that a cause of these problems was in that she insisted on the lights being turned off and then her undressing etc, there was a certain formality about the whole ordeal. The absence of this formality since has allowed me to perform sexually on every occasion required. I now wonder whether the initial failings might have been because of a lack of sex drive?
Any ideas?
The percentage of young women who've never or rarely masturbated is well up in the double digits.
The percentage of young men of whom the same is true is probably below one digit (or, anyway, all the digits are after the decimal point).
Well if your a guy that is very very odd but I see no reason to worry since you're sexually active and can perform. If your a girl I've heard its not that uncommon
Ah, well I'm a guy lol. I figured it was very odd, have tried it once or twice but just felt as though I was getting friction burns and I wasn't enjoying it all.
I suppose you don't know what your missing if you've never had it though...

True enough....

Interesting. I suggest using a lubricant and just letting your hand glide over your skin with little to no pressure, unless you desire to squeeze.
I'm curious about your sex drive. Not wanting to masturbate is very unusual. I can understand how you may not be successful because there is a certain knack to it that must be learned, yet it is the drive and the great feelings that spurs each boy on.
My girlfriend has never masturbated, and that does not at all imply that she is in any way inhibited in our exchanges - she especially likes caressing herself when I go down on her and then licking her fingers (! was certainly taken by surprise by that one!). But she will not masturbate on her own, even if it's months between times when we can actually get together (long distance relationship).
I think I've read somewhere, maybe a post by doc, but it was something like when you have wet dreams, it's genereally semen build up, and it can't control itself enuf to stop it while you are sleeping.
If you are getting friction problems from when you try masterbating that is a deffinate sign of a lubrication problem. You can use saliva, works very well, lotion, (NOT shampoo or soap), or you can buy personal lubricants from places such as even walmart or a sex shop. Since you aren't 18 I wouldn't guess u could go to a sex shop. So buy some astroglide or Ky Jelly from walmart or something and try that out. If you use saliva, you have to replenish it as it will dry out on you.
I never used to masterbate but i resently have done it like twuce this week but i dont think its what its hyped up to be i stop before i come, maybe im not ready. but over all ive done it like 4 times, i dont thinks it's odd i just think that people who do it like it or have to much spare time ; )
i just dont see the piont in doing it every day like some people.

Thank you for clearing up 200,000 years of confusion on the part of 48 billion people.
It seems very odd to me that there are guys who don't masturbate. I've been masturbating ever since I was a child, and continue to do so (I'm now 51). It just seems like a normal thing to do. I'm not sure exactly how old I was when I started, but it was well before puberty. I reckon I was probably 7 or 8 years old.
Of course, at the time, I didn't know that was what it was. I had discovered that if I lay on my stomach and moved a certain way while I was in bed, it felt good. The more I did it, the better it felt, until I reached a climax. I just thought it was a normal, fun thing to do, and only realised it was a sexual thing later on.
I'm one of the few too. Don't think it's all its hyped up to be. I wouldn't say I don't have a sexual drive, I just have one for another person (girl).
So I in numbers I guess this is odd but it's nothing serious.
If a guy does not have sex for a long time, masturbation becomes essential. The tension builds up and eventually reaches a point where it becomes almost unbearable, and must be released.
From time to time, I've tried long periods of abstinence (ie: no ejaculation) just to see what the effect is like. The tension builds up, I get really horny, and I get a feeling of 'tightness' around the testicles. Sometimes it even feels painful.
At this stage, things just cannot be ignored any longer, and the pressure must be released.
Just for the record, the longest period of time I've ever gone without ejaculation is around 8 weeks.
my girl never masturbated on her own and still doesnt. once in a blue moon she will use my hand to fondle herself but thats as close as she gets.
ur missing out...lol
i think u mean shes missing out unless u werent refering to what i said, then nvm ignore me
noo i was referring to the person who wrote this thread lol
I still jack off (gay and 52) but it's a lot harder to orgasam that way then it used to be. Since I have a partner I rarely have to go for long periods without sex. But there are things he's not crazy about doing so I still enjoy getting myself off now and then. If I'm using porn it's not too much of a problem, but just masturbating by myself in the bathroom is a bit of a challenge these days. Maybe it's the age . . . .
Well, I'm 51, straight and still single. Since I don't have a regular partner, I still masturbate quite frequently. I don't have any difficulties, but it does take me a bit longer to get aroused then it used to. The problem I have, is that it can really get quite boring if you do it too often. So, from time to time, I abstain from any sexual activity for a while in order to let the tension build. It gets a whole lot more interesting after that.
