He cussed me out and said I would be gay if I masturbated and even went as far as accusing my grandfather of showing me how to do it. Now that I am in high school I want to confront my dad about the matter and clear the air – but I am scared to do so because he is very closed-minded. What should I do?
Sounds like your father has some serious hang-ups about masturbation. Maybe it's best not to do anything, at least for now; you probably won't change his mind at all. Once you move away for college or are on your own, perhaps you can write a letter and tell him how you feel. In the mean time, just understand that your father is of a different, more conservative generation, and as you move toward adulthood you have a right to develop values you're more comfortable with – values that are more in line with those of our society as a whole.

I am 15 and masturbate at least once a day (usually more). One day my dad walked in on me.
