Why, yes I have. I live in a college dorm and find "evidence" everywhere, especially in the shower stalls. It's quite disgusting. People who masturbate should have the courtesy to clean up after themselves after they have pleasured themselves.

My 12-year-old daughter knows where my toys are. And since I believe sex education begins at home, I've explained what they're for. "Vibrators are our *friends*," I tell her. And she rides me for some of the other things.

I'm a very tidy person, so I think I've cleaned it up every time. Well, at least I *hope* I have!

My mother once told me to stop putting my old soggy socks under my pillow. She said that if I would just lay them on the floor, they would be dry by morning. I guess she didn't mind picking up old stiff socks but didn't like picking up old soggy ones. Even by today's standards, she would be a "cool" mom.

Once I hadn't masturbated for almost a week, so I was really horny. When I got home, I turned on a porn video that my friend had given me and went to it. I was so exhausted after several sessions that I left the tape in the VCR. My parents and my brother (13, who also masturbates) came home, and my brother wanted to watch some movie he had rented. So he turned on the TV and VCR, and the VCR automatically started to play the porno tape. With my parents in the room, the thing started playing! I went right into my bedroom and quickly pretended I was doing homework. My parents thought my brother (who has been caught before) was responsible for the video and got mad at him. Later, he came into my room and said, "Cool video, but why the #$%# didn't you hide it when you were finished?"

Oh, yeah — the most embarrassing thing ever. When I was 14 I would masturbate on an old pillow I kept under my bed. My sister, who was 8, had a friend spending the night, so she went to get that pillow for her friend to use. She saw the "evidence" and asked me what all the pus on my pillow was — in front of our mom! As to "evidence" of others, yeah — every roommate I ever had sooner or later would leave tissues around or something, but by the time I was in college, it was no big deal.

It's funny — my friend, who is 16, says he doesn't masturbate because it's a sin. His family belongs to a fanatical Christian church. I believed him at first, considering how religious his parents are. Anyway, he asked me to come over, and I agreed. We went to his room and talked about sports, computers — anything non-sexual (you get the picture). He said he had to use the bathroom and left the room. (No, he wasn't masturbating in the bathroom.) I was sitting in a chair looking around, when something partially under his bed caught my eye. I pulled it out to look at it, and it turned out to be a magazine (Hustler!) with some of the pages stuck together. I put it back under his bed and didn't say anything about it. It was a secret he wanted to keep, so why ruin it for him? I mean — he might stop if I discovered his little "habit." He came back in and we continued to talk small stuff. He has yet to admit his masturbating ways.

My wife has a little bottle she uses when she masturbates. On several occasions I have found the bottle under the sofa with lubrication on it. I would masturbate just from the idea that she had been doing it just few hours earlier.

I often leave "evidence." When I ejaculate into a sock or T-shirt, I throw it somewhere in the corner of my bedroom. My mother comes into my room practically every day to pick up the clothes I have hanging around. She often teases me about the stains on my T-shirts or the fact that the socks or T-shirts feel wet sometimes. We've never really talked about masturbation, but I know she knows I do it. I also know she does it. Going through her room, I have found some of her toys. I must admit that sometimes it turns me on. Anyway, good luck with your site. A friend of mine showed it to me recently and I think it really kicks! Thanks for trying to make masturbation an acceptable topic.

I found a wet sock under my brother's bed when I was 11 and he was 15. I didn't know what it was, but about a year later when I started masturbating, I figured out what he had been doing with it.

My grandmother found some dried stuff on my sheets when she did the laundry, and she told my grandfather. He told me to use a Kleenex next time. But actually, it had been a "wet-dream."

I have an open-door policy with friends, and some just walk into my house without knocking, which is normally okay. However, I was online one day, masturbating, when a good friend walked into my house. I shut off the monitor and covered myself before he came into the room, or so I thought. In reality I must have talked to him for 10 minutes before I realized my penis was exposed. I apologized, he said he hadn't noticed, and I sheepishly put my penis back into my boxers. The lube and tissue on the desk probably didn't help, either.

One time my buddy was sleeping over at my house. As we were going to sleep, we both decided to masturbate. We must have done it about 4 times each that night and left lots of tissue paper all over the place, as well as lots of body lotion that we had used for lubrication. In the morning my sister came down and told us that she knew, but that it was cool that we could share something like that together. Then she told us how she masturbates.

A couple of my buddies were over and noticed a roll of toilet paper right by my pillow. One of them laughed aloud asking, "Yo, dude — who the heck keeps toilet paper in their room?" I told them it was for blowing my nose at night, or something like that. I seemed to convince them, so they left it alone. Although I would usually keep a toilet paper roll around when I'm sick (to blow my nose), the main purpose of it being there was for easy clean up after my nightly sessions!

One time about a year ago, I was masturbating to a free, cheap (as in quality) Internet site. I was also using lotion. As usual, when I finished, I went to some Web site that wasn't conspicuous, such as yahoo.com, cleared all the history, etc. But, I forgot to close out the browser, and I also left the lotion bottle in the room — my dad saw the lotion and actually hit the "back" button on the browser, saw what I was doing, and later confronted me about it. It was pretty embarrassing.

Just the other night, I took a shower after my 16-year-old son. He had just finished, so the bathroom was a bit steamy. As I closed the door, I thought there was a kind of musky odor. When I stepped into the shower, I discovered that the musky odor was even stronger. At this point, my eye caught a pretty hefty deposit of something dripping down the tile. Although I've known that my son has been masturbating for a number of years, this was the first time I ever saw actual evidence of his activity. Truthfully, it made me feel really proud of the boy. I also get a feeling that he's developing a very healthy attitude about sex and masturbation.

I often use Lubriderm as a lubricant. Once, when I was 12 or 13, my family left to go shopping, and I was at home alone. I masturbated, using the Lubriderm as a lube. When I finished, I cleaned up and watched TV until they came home again. But I had left the bottle of Lubriderm in the den! I imagine my mom suspected something when she saw it, but she respects my privacy (I thank her for that), and she didn't ask about it.

Where I work there is a men's room in the basement. It is a bit remote and not used frequently. I have often gone into the stall there and found evidence of someone's self-enjoyment on the toilet seat or the floor in front of the toilet. It seemed a little gross to me, but I kept a watch when I could and found out it was being left by one of my friends. He is young, married, an athlete, and a really attractive guy. After that, I found it actually somewhat stimulating to think he had just had an orgasm there when I "spotted the spots." I never mentioned anything about it to him, but I thought about him a few times while doing the same job myself in that restroom.

When I was 14, I masturbated and cleaned up using my underwear, which I tossed under the bed all wadded up. I forgot about them, and a week later, my mother was cleaning my room and found them. She didn't say anything other than I shouldn't throw soiled underwear under the bed. This resulted in two things: a new policy about who cleaned my bedroom, and a new policy about who washed my clothes — in both cases, me. Also, I was cleaning my older brother's car once (for money, of course) and found a wadded up rag under the driver's seat, stiff with dried sperm. I figured he must have used it at least 5 or 6 times. I didn't say anything, thinking he might not pay me.

One night, amongst my many teenage masturbating adventures, I took one of my dad's porno magazines into the bathroom and did my thing. I put it under the rug, took a shower, left the bathroom, and forgot about the magazine. Next thing I knew, my dad went to the bathroom and found it under the rug!

One night, my 17-year-old stepbrother and I were looking at porno on the computer, and I jokingly said, "Do you want me to get a tissue for you? You might need it!" He laughed and stuff. So as I left him at the computer and went into my bedroom, I stopped by his room and wrote a note saying, "You'll probably need this!" Then I put a tissue underneath it as a joke. My stepbrother has not been one to talk much about masturbation, so I was surprised to find that tissue in his trash can, along with some others. I could tell they had dried semen on them — so my joke worked! It kind of turned me on, although I'm not gay by any means. I guess just the thought of someone actually masturbating and me finding the "evidence" was cool. I haven't asked him about my "gift" from that night, but I think someday I will.

A few years ago I found a stack of my husband's porno mags and a roll of tissue. He was staying up until 2 in the morning masturbating. We hardly ever had sex during that time. Finally, I made him get rid of the stash. I didn't mind that he had them; in fact, I liked to read them as well — for the articles, of course! But his masturbation was taking him away from me. If he'd just kept them in the bedroom and we'd read them together as foreplay... Man, I was seriously irritated.

Once I splattered some semen onto a black fabric wall in my parents' front room. It's still there now, and they think its milk! Also, after a swim once, as I was going into the changing rooms after my shower, I nearly slipped on something and then realized it was semen.

When I was 16 my mom cleaned my room for me and found my "semen towel" and a jar of Vaseline under my bed. Later that night she gave me that towel and said she washed it for me. How embarrassing! Hide your stuff in a good place.

About a week ago I was sleeping over at a friend's house. He has bunk beds and let me sleep on the top bunk. That night I masturbated, and I had nothing to clean the semen with, so I wiped it on my underpants and just slept nude. Well, I was moving around trying to get comfortable and I accidentally knocked the underpants off the bed. He saw them hit the floor. He picked them up and asked if I had wet my pants because they were so wet, but then he figured out I had masturbated. He still hasn't stopped teasing me about it.

My boyfriend has a dark blue bedspread. The evidence stands out pretty well at times; I can tell when he's masturbated recently or even washed the bedspread to hide the evidence.

One time I was masturbating in my bathroom and forgot a porno on the sink. Later that night my dad came into my room and said, "I think you forgot something." But fortunately the next day he bought me 3 porno tapes — and you know I used those.

I have always been bad about cleaning up the "evidence" — from my earliest masturbation sessions. The worst episode was when I was 16 or 17. I had been looking at some porn and it was late. I masturbated to ejaculation following a nice "edging" session. I wiped up my ejaculate with a tissue and as is often the case, became drowsy and fell asleep. The TV was on as well as my bedroom light. I was asleep, naked, on my comforter. When I awoke next morning, both the light and the TV had been turned off. My dad had come to my room. He never said anything, though — what a cool guy.

I was visiting my sister, who lived at my aunt's house, and went upstairs to use the bathroom. As I was using the bathroom, I noticed an odd noise coming from the dresser. I opened each drawer in turn looking for the noise, when I found the source, muffled by being buried under some shirts — my aunt's vibrator. I don't know if she left in a hurry or if it was jarred on by her closing the drawer.

About 8 years ago, my younger brother, who was 17, called me one day because he was locked out of his car. As I was looking for his spare set of keys in his bedroom, I found a magazine with all the pages stuck together, obviously from his semen. What shocked me was the magazine was full of pictures of male skateboarders. I suspected he was ashamed to buy real pornographic pictures of men, or that he was told he was too young by store clerks. Nevertheless, I assumed he was homosexual. Although I never accused him of homosexuality, I rejected him in other ways. I also became prejudiced against all the guys in my college who were into the "skater scene." It wasn't until about a year ago, when I read an article in JackinWorld about why some guys think about other guys when they masturbate, that I had some kind of understanding about what his circumstance may be. It turns out that there can be many reasons why he was masturbating to pictures of other guys. I always thought that when he got older, he had girlfriends to cover up his secret gay life. I now realize he may genuinely like girls. He's 25 now and still has quite a collection of male skater pictures, yet he appears to be quite content with a female companion. I've since made amends with him and now realize it is not my place to question his private masturbation activity.

I was about 13 years old and was at school when I needed to take care of business. I went to the bathroom and took care of myself in a stall. I ran to class after I got done and sat down at my desk, and one of my buddies started giggling. I looked down and there was "stuff" on the bottom of my shirt. My buddy didn't care, but just knowing I got caught was pretty embarrassing.

I recently found "evidence" my son masturbates. He's 15, and I know it's the right age for it. Sometimes I also find stained or even wet paper tissues in his room. I don't mind that he does it — it's normal for a young boy, or girl for that matter. I was once 15, too. Anyway, when I went to the computer to go to a website, "JackinWorld" popped up in the location bar. I didn't know what your site was all about, so I was initially shocked when I saw it. I'm all over the "shock" now — and I'm a regular visitor to JackinWorld, although I think you should have a bigger section for women.

My parents recently bought a "massager" that has a vibrating mode. Yes, I have tried using it to masturbate, but sometimes when I go to get it or just look, it is gone and I usually find it hidden in my 15-year-old sister's room. Once, when I walked into her room to get something, she tried to hide it really quickly and denied everything. I also find tissues around her bed and a little wet spot on her sheets.

I have a 19-year-old son. It was a Wednesday and I usually work from 7 AM till 2 PM — but this one day, they said they didn't need me that morning. I went shopping but then got hungry and decided to go home for some lunch. When I got in I found that my son's room was a mess and he hadn't cleaned it yet, even after days of nagging. So I decided to Hoover it only to find his sheets full of semen! He returned about 30 minutes later to find a clean room. I didn't say anything but the look on his face said it all. I had to laugh!

"It's embarrassing when mom pulls out that
crusty towel that can stand up on its own."
When I was in college, I found that bath towels proved to be an inexpensive alternative to Kleenex, and you're able to get multiple uses out of them. One drawback was when I would go home for break, laundry in tow, and forget to separate "old reliable" from the rest of the towels. It's quite embarrassing when mom pulls out that crusty towel that can stand up on its own. As for bagging roommates post-spank, check for slugs hanging around the drain in the bathtub. Don't fret — just wash them away, grab the conditioner, and continue the cycle yourself! PS: Thumbs up to Aloe Therapeutic Body Lotion!

I was in my basement and masturbated into my boxer shorts. For some reason I forgot to take them with me when I went up to my bedroom later. When I woke up the next day I suddenly remembered. I ran downstairs to try to grab them — but it was too late. They were gone and in the washing machine. My mom never said anything, but she must have known, since they were lying in the middle of the floor when I went to bed.

Once I masturbated before going to work. I cleaned up with some tissues and left. I was happy, but when I came home my door was wide open with the tissues sitting on my bed — oh no! My parents have never said anything about it.

I discover my boyfriend's "evidence" all the time. He doesn't have to hide it from me, and he doesn't try very hard — but sometimes he likes to masturbate when I am out for the afternoon or evening. When that happens I often come home to tissues in the garbage or the television left on channel 3 (the channel it must be turned to in order to watch videos).
