I'm a 46-year-old white male who lives in California. Although I had been playing with my penis since before I could remember, I masturbated to orgasm for the first time one night the summer when I was 11. I remember the usual familiar pleasant feelings, but suddenly, for the first time, as I stroked myself, it began to feel better, then much better, then much much better — and then my first orgasm slammed through me and several jets of sperm squirted out of me, all over my pajamas. Being so young, I'd had absolutely no sex education and had no idea what had just happened to me. I was scared and worried, but some part of me thought that something which felt so good couldn't possibly be bad.
The next day after school, I stopped by my local library and found a book on sexuality written for teenagers. This had a pivotal effect on my life: It could have been discouraging or filled with negative myths, but instead it had a very straightforward and positive explanation of what masturbation was. I was stunned — those incredible feelings were completely normal! I could do it as often as I wanted! And it was okay! My erect penis was thudding in my pants — it's a miracle I didn't whip it out right then and there. Instead, I raced home and slammed my bedroom door, and less than a minute later I experienced my second orgasm — which, if anything, was even more powerful than the first.
Over the next year as my body matured, it seemed every morning when I woke up my penis was bigger and harder and hairier and hornier than the day before. In retrospect, I suppose it was. I'm a really hairy guy, and early puberty seems to be a part of that. By the time I got to 7th grade junior high school gym class, I was fully developed sexually and had much of an adult's body hair. There was nobody in my 7th grade class as advanced as me — in fact, there were quite a few 8th graders and even some 9th graders who weren't. This made me the butt of a lot of teasing. My gym teacher explained that they were just jealous, and I said I had figured that out, but it didn't make the snapped-towel sting any less painful.
Through all of this, I masturbated constantly — never less than twice a day, usually 3 or 4 times, sometimes even more. It seemed the more I did it, the more I wanted to do it. One of my friends was over at my house one afternoon and asked why I was going into the bathroom every 45 minutes, and like a fool I told him. Of course, the tale spread around school, and although my teasing increased to almost hazing levels, I don't recall any sense of shame at all — just annoyance that something that gave me so much pleasure could make me the butt of so much commentary. Because of this, I never participated in "circle jerks" or other forms of youthful exploration. I figured, if they're teasing me about what they think, what are they going to say when they actually see it? My solitary explorations were just fine, and as I grew up masturbation remained a constant and important part of my life.
How important? Well, 35 years later, I am still doing it at least twice a day. A couple of months ago I had my annual eye exam and my pupils were dilated, and I couldn't drive or read or even watch TV, so I spent the day finding out how many times I could masturbate. I got up to 7 times in 10 hours. The 5th time was painful, but #6 and #7 were just sublime.
To conclude my tale, I got out my calculator to see what 35 years of at least twice-daily masturbation adds up to. Assuming 5 minutes per session (usually much longer) and 5 seconds per orgasm, and 10 milliliters of semen per ejaculation (usually much more), if one were to chain all those years of self-pleasure into one episode, the masturbation session itself would last for 89 days, and then I would have a 35-hour orgasm, which would result in an ejaculation of 67 gallons of semen. I view my near-obsession with my penis and self-pleasure to be an extremely positive and worthwhile use of my time, and one of the central aspects of my life.
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
