Masturbation is the greatest thing in life. Fantasize about something that arouses you, and when your penis is erect, grab it in your right or left hand. Then continue to fantasize as you move your hand up and down on your penis shaft until you have an orgasm, which will make you love masturbation for life. An orgasm is a series of involuntary contractions of your whole body accompanied by waves of *intense pleasure.*

If you've never masturbated, you've missed the most amazing feeling you can ever have. First, lubricate your erect penis with baby oil (this is the way I do it) — make sure it's totally covered so your hand slides easily up and down the length of the shaft. Then wrap your hand around your penis, thumb on top and fingers underneath. Begin stroking up and down, making sure to include the head of your penis in the stroke. The stroking itself feels great and is half the fun of masturbating. So take it slowly and really enjoy the feeling. As you stroke, the feelings in your penis and testicles intensify. Before long you reach the point when the pleasure gets stronger and stronger. Then you go over the edge and begin to orgasm (the single most pleasurable feeling I know of), and semen begins to spurt from your penis, sometimes thickly and with great power. The sensation of the semen being forced from your testicles [well, not really... -Ed.], rising up the shaft of your penis, and being propelled into the air is like no other, and I highly recommend it.

It's the best release in the world! Just grab onto your penis and move up and down. It may feel weird at first, but your penis will respond, definitely. My only tip is this — don't be afraid to ejaculate! I didn't masturbate all the way to climax for several sittings because I was afraid of how my body would react to an orgasm: would I yell really loudly, alerting my parents to what I was doing, or would I make a huge mess with my semen that would be impossible to clean up, or.... I had a lot of concerns about my "first time." Find a time when no one is at home, keep some kleenex nearby, and go for it, all the way to the end, no matter what anxiety you feel! You'll never regret it, I promise you.

Masturbation is one of the greatest things that someone can experience. It is stroking your penis for a time with your hand (or having someone else stroke it for you). During the whole experience, wicked fantasies will run through your head. At the end, something called an orgasm happens. This is when semen comes out of your penis, and it is *awesome!* I totally recommend masturbation.

Girl, this is a journey you have got to take! Next time you have time alone, maybe before bed, take some hand lotion and rub it anywhere you want to be beautiful, like your face and breasts...Take a generous handful and lie down, and rub it over your labia and all over your clitoris! Rub gently, and feel all the details, especially the warm feelings that are so close. It's like pulling up your jeans or bouncing on the bike seat, but 1,000 times better. Close your eyes, make a big "O" with your mouth, toss your head around, squeeze your legs together or bring your knees up to your face or lie on your belly or just lie relaxed and rub that clitoris slowly, slowly, then faster and harder when you are ready to do it. The place your are going is a giant swell of feeling where you don't care if you are too wet down there or make noise or whatever — you just feel too great for words. And later, when a man satisfies his lust in your vagina, you can feel just as great as he does and make him feel he did it all for you — but the truth, girl, is you did it all for yourself when you learned how...to masturbate.

Masturbation is one of the most relaxing yet exciting things you can do. Strip down, think sexy thoughts, and start to rub your penis, either fast or slow. When you have been going for a while, you'll feel an inner tingling sensation that means you're almost there. You will feel complete relaxation, and soon your penis will eject a white, sticky fluid called semen. Have a tissue ready to clean up with. Give it a go and tell me all about how it felt in your next letter. If you like, come over sometime — I can give you a few tips and point you in the right direction. I always love some company! PS: Cautiously try to find out whether your parents approve. If they don't, you may want to find a spot where you can enjoy yourself without being interrupted.

You haven't masturbated before? My, you're missing out on something worth experiencing. It's easy, and I can assure you that you will never regret it. Go somewhere private (the bathroom is usually a good place to start — I started there, too!) and strip naked. Lie on the floor, or make yourself comfortable, and hold your penis in your hand (either side). When your penis is erect, slide your hand up and down slowly at first and then vary the speed. You're circumcised, right? Perhaps you should use come lubrication — try K-Y Jelly. Squeeze it generously onto your palm and apply it to your penis. Slide your hand up and down. You will feel a sensation, like you want to pee. Continue until some white stuff comes out, together with an out-of-this-world feeling. You've masturbated! It feels great. The feeling is unexplainable; you have to try it to believe me. Tell me about your experience!

Masturbation is the greatest thing ever discovered. Usually all you have to do is take your hand, wrap it around your penis, and pull up towards the tip and back to the base very rapidly. Continue this and you will feel better and better. You will reach a point finally when you think you are going to explode, but keep at it. In a few seconds you will ejaculate and have the greatest feeling of an orgasm — a feeling that for a moment is so strong it feels like an electrical current is zapped through your whole body. You will want to do this every day, maybe more than once a day because it feels *so* good.

You take your penis into your hands and sit back and think about a girl who is really special to you. It doesn't matter why she's special, but she has to be special. Imagine that she is sitting (or standing) really close to you and she is touching you softly but surely. As your penis begins to grow, massage it in your hands, gently stroking the underside. Take in sharp breaths as you can feel your creamy fluids throbbing inside, pleading to come out. But hold it and let her caress you in your mind for a few more minutes. Don't reach for it just yet; let her caress you until finally she has come to you completely. Then, when she can't possibly come any closer, you will feel yourself succumb to the juices as the dam breaks and you will wash away in an aching orgasm of sweet bliss.

Have I got an awesome thing for you to try! Just trust me that this is worth it, and at least try it once. Get naked in your bed. Get an erection. Make a fist around your penis. Stroke the full length, making sure to include the tip. After a little bit you will feel the most incredible sensations — you *gotta* try this! Keep stroking. You'll want to go faster and faster. The feeling will get more incredible. It will get so good that you might think you're going to pee, or that something might be wrong. Keep going! This is the final buildup. All of a sudden you will feel the most incredible feeling all over your body and you will go into an awesome spasm, as white stuff spurts out of your penis. It will be the most incredible feeling you've ever had. Just try it once. Then tell me if you liked it. I know you will!

Masturbation is a great way of maintaining your reproductive health. It allows you to give yourself endless innocent pleasure, and is the best way to learn about your sexual response to other people. When you have an erection, perhaps after playing with your genitals, try grasping round the shaft of your penis with thumb and a couple of fingers. Then move the outer skin up and down the shaft an inch or two. Keep up a steady rhythm, but above all, relax and enjoy all the sensations. Change hands or try a different grip as often as you like, and try stroking the head of your penis, your nipples, testicles, or around your anus with your other hand. Just keep on rubbing. The sensation you are about to experience makes any amount of effort worthwhile. As you approach orgasm, it may feel as if you want to urinate, but when you finally reach the climax, a small quantity of sticky white liquid spurts out (have some tissues ready to mop up), and you should have a fantastic feeling. Enjoy it; I still do often, and I am still learning new ways.

Hey, let me tell you about something you're missing out on. It's called masturbation. First, it's a good idea to lock your bedroom door. When I masturbate, I usually get naked. Now give yourself an erection, and pull the skin of your penis back and forth — a pumping motion. It feels better as it goes on. It may feel like you gotta pee, but you won't. Keep going. Soon your body will make some weird movement and semen will come out of your penis. Did that feel good? You just had an orgasm, one of the best feelings in the world.

When you get an erection, remove all your clothes because this allows you to relax more and enjoy the experience. Grab your penis with your right hand, keeping a loose grip. Then begin to stroke your penis by moving your loose fist up and down the shaft. As you continue this motion, you'll begin to feel a fantastic energy pulsating through your body. Finally, you will no longer be able to control this energy and will stroke your penis faster and faster, eventually ejaculating and experiencing an orgasm. You'll have to clean up some, but in the end you'll feel terrific!

I know you are a little confused, and I understand that this may be frightening, but you just gotta try this. Masturbating is one of the most pleasurable things you can do for yourself. It's simple, really. You just think of something that arouses you, gently rub your penis in an up-and-down motion, and poof! You get a wonderful surprise. Best of all, you have to do very little work to actually have an orgasm. By the way, an orgasm is the most interesting of all the sensations you will have.

You don't need a lover to have good sex; you have the ability for intense sexual pleasure right at your fingertips. All you need do is take off your clothes, lie down, and let your fingers explore that special place between your legs. If you have trouble becoming aroused, do what I do, which is recount what a man did with his tongue or hand to make me climax. While one hand focuses your clitoris, let the other caress your breasts, or slip a couple of fingers into your vagina. What's most important, though, is that you find what works best for you. The result will be wonderfully intense orgasms.

With the most creative method, you rub your penis to simulate what would happen if you had intercourse. Some guys will excrete "pre-cum" — semen in a small amount that helps lubricate the process. When you are about to climax, you will feel tense at the penis. At the "point of no return," even with the most effort, you won't be able to hold the ejaculation — your penis will flex and release the accumulated semen. Even if you don't masturbate, your body will be manufacturing semen and you will have a nocturnal emission ("wet dream"). Masturbation is better because you get the indescribable feeling of stress relief, and unlike unexpected "wet dreams," you don't have sticky underwear and blankets or bed sheets to clean!

Make yourself comfortable; lying on your back is good, but you want a position that feels right for you. Also, it feels really great to be completely naked, and you don't have to worry about staining your clothes when you ejaculate. It's helpful to use a lubricant, too. You can start by rubbing the lube all over your penis so you get an erection (if you don't have one already). Probably the most common method of masturbating is to grip your penis lightly and move your hand up and down the shaft; you will determine what speed of motion suits you best. It's also very pleasurable to touch and rub your scrotum with your other hand. As you stroke your penis the feeling intensity will continue to increase; some semen may emerge at the tip. As you approach orgasm, your penis will become more rigid and sensitive, and your scrotum will tighten up. You will feel an overall tightening in your body and genitals, and then a sudden throbbing and release as you ejaculate; it's an intense and pleasurable feeling.

Next time you get that horny feeling, don't hold in — masturbating is surely one of the most pleasurable things you can do, and the feeling of orgasm is *great*! Strip down to nothing or pull down your underwear to your ankles, and hold your penis in your hand. Just stroke up and down on it; you can use lotion or Vaseline or some other kind of lubrication if you want to *really* stimulate yourself. Just keep stroking it, and if you start to feel a throbbing, slow down and wait a few seconds and start up again. That will make orgasm more intense in the end. When you feel something start to throb in your penis, you are about to ejaculate. Continue stroking and get ready for an intense feeling of pleasure and for something to shoot out of your penis. This is called ejaculation, and at the same time you will feel orgasm. You'll know what it is when you feel it. Remember, this is absolutely healthy and feels *great*!

So you've never heard of masturbation or how to do it? That's incredible! When your penis gets hard take your hand and grab it — not too tight, but do it with just a little pressure and then start to move it up and down. You may not feel anything at first, but keep on doing it; don't stop. You may want to put a little lube or spit on it to help with the friction. Go nice and slow at first and then try going a little faster. It may take a while, but when you get to that point of climax, watch out! That's when you'll have the greatest feeling and moment of all — the ejaculation! It's the best. That's when semen shoots out the tip of your penis, and it feels greater than anything you've ever felt. You may want to get a towel or tissue to clean up the mess, because if you have never yet had an ejaculation, you're going to need it. After you're done you might feel a little tired, so take some time to relax and to remember the great feeling you just had. Don't feel guilty about it; it's normal and every guy does it, so enjoy it. And if you think you can stop, think again. I have been doing this since I was a kid, and I love it. I have done it with friends and some family members and we all feel the same about it, so don't feel ashamed. Enjoy!

You didn't know about masturbation? Oh my goodness. I do it all the time! I use the faucet head of the bathtub and just put my "you know" under and enjoy. When I reach the point of my orgasm I just close my eyes and fantasize about the hunkiest guy ever! You should try it! I bet you'd like it!

Masturbation is a way of touching and rubbing yourself, particularly your genitals, to experience intense sexual pleasure and relief from sexual tension (called "being horny"). When you can be private without risk of interruption, begin to touch your genitals lightly. Notice where it feels good as you touch yourself all over down there. Boys will probably find that it feels best when they touch near the head of the penis; girls, when they rub a small knob just above the vagina (the clitoris). Continue to rub where it feels good. Boys will find that their penises stiffen. Now they can experiment with rubbing the skin back and forth along the now-erect shaft of the penis. Girls may find that it feels best to rub around the base of their clitoris, since the clitoris may have stiffened and become highly sensitive. Keep rubbing. Both boys and girls will feel the good feelings increase. You might think you have to pee (you probably don't). The feelings of pleasure will increase even more, to the point that it feels so good, you think you can't stand it. At this point you may experience a peak of feeling where you go kind of wild and feel a throbbing pulsation followed by a drop-off of the feeling and a wonderful sense of relaxation, even sleepiness. This is called an orgasm. Younger kids may feel a gentler peak of good feeling without the wild throbbing or pulsation because their bodies have not yet developed enough to have an orgasm. Where boys experience orgasm as a sharp peak focused in their penises, girls tend to experience it as a series of pleasure-waves flowing through their bodies. Boys who have matured physically (genitals grown larger, hair growing around genitals) will find that they ejaculate when they have an orgasm. Their testicles and other glands have begun to make and store a milky liquid called semen. At the point of the orgasm where the good feeling peaks and pulsation begins, the spasms force semen out of the penis in several squirts. Boys may want to have a tissue or paper towel handy to wipe up their ejaculate. Semen contains the male's sperm, which in sexual intercourse, unites with a female's egg to start a baby. Both boys and girls who are physically mature may secrete a pre-orgasmic fluid as they build to orgasm, but not everybody does. As you become experienced with masturbation, you may find that you want to use some lubrication to enhance the experience. Baby oil, cooking oil, petroleum jelly, and hand lotion all can be used as lubrication.

WOW! No wonder you get so edgy sometimes! Those hormone levels skyrocket just before your period. Well, Hon, don't bother spending $50 an hour on a therapist; start your own therapy — masturbation. I hate that word, but I *love* the act! Oh, come on, you know me. I'm as crazy as a loon! Well, I usually start off by rubbing my clitoris (the cashew-sized mound inside the lips) in a circular motion. The basic point is stimulation — get enough of it and you have an orgasm. It could be via vibration, rubbing, tapping, hell you could even hump your pillow. Just make sure there's continuous stimulation! But hey, you'll find your own niche eventually. Hope you relax a little!

At your age it's very normal for you to be paying increased attention to your penis, because it's getting more sensitive and you are starting to think about that and about just what goes on when your penis fits together with a girl. This is very cool, and the good news is you get to learn all about it for yourself, and it won't be long before you are an expert. Masturbating starts when you are enjoying a flow of water on your penis, or thinking about a girl while you rub your penis against a pillow or something else between your legs. Good feelings help your penis get larger, and each step larger brings new good penis feelings to learn and enjoy. Eventually, most guys decide to put their hands around the penis, but anything goes. There are a lot of great feelings to find out about, like using slippery stuff like lotion, which feels like the inside of a girl's vagina when she is ready for your penis to move inside her. The top of the mountain is when you can't stop from squirting white fluid called semen — if this doesn't happen at first, don't worry, it will show up (every boy confuses it with pee at first). You need to be cool about not staining stuff, but it washes out of clothes and isn't a big deal. The squirting is part of a feeling called orgasm, which is about the best feeling you will ever have. Women have them, too. Masturbating is pretty private stuff, but it feels so good that just about everybody does it, which I think is why so many guys talk about sex when they obviously haven't had much experience with girls. The girls your age masturbate, too. If you know a girl who is cool talking about it, you could let her know that you know and that her enjoyment is important to you, too. This is much better than the average boy's attitude, which is simply being terrified about not getting an erection in front of a girl, then getting one but ejaculating before either of you is ready. Young guys can have orgasms several times a night. Or, you can masturbate longer to enjoy the firmness of the penis and save the squirt. This is good practice for when you are inside a girl's vagina and want to make that special moment last and help her get to her own orgasm.

Rub your penis until it gets hard. Then take it in your hand and loosely stroke up and down, with your thumb rubbing the head as you do it. This should cause a tingling sensation. If you start to leak "pre-cum," rub that on the head also, as this is usually the most sensitive part. Increase the speed to see what feels best for you; likewise with the amount of pressure on your penis. When you find what feels best, continue with that. Also try rubbing your chest and playing with your nipples. If this enhances your feelings, keep it up. Or, perhaps play with your testicles. You should soon get a very intense feeling. When you do, keep stroking as you shoot your semen (ejaculate). If it's anything like my climax, it will leave you weak. Repeat often and enjoy. We all do it!
