bloody wankers ay..tut tut

because the world is full of hipocrites and incult people

Yeah, our society is so prudish about this, and about anything sexual, or even natural nudity with no sexual connotation. 96% of all guys (and probably girls too) masturbate, and the other 4% are damned liars.

Dad: Son, stop that or you'll go blind.
Son: Then can I just do it till I need glasses?

Dad: Son, stop that or you'll go blind.
Son: I'm over HERE, Dad.

exactaly i masturbate almost every day i will admit it i know other people do it and its is not a crime to have fun

cuz its fun

It's in the bible or something that its a sin for a man to spill his seed/ aka masturbate to ejaculation. so people read it literally and take it as that you cant masturbate. but really its normal and natural

It has been seen as a sin in the eyes of the religious for god knows why..

North America society in particular is prudish about sexual topics.

Its because of the different religions, actually, most religions are agianst mastrabation, even if all of them do it anyway, lol THATS why its a 'Taboo' subject, and if ur wondering why your friends don't talk about it, do your friends talk to you about having sex? (Don't answer if yes..)

I dont think its a sin
everyone does it
EVERYONE has at least done it once in their life

From a linguistic point of view, all sexual words are considered inappropriate (not to linguists, but to society). Some words however are used more often, and if a word is used enough it can begin to become more acceptable. [sex] for example used to be unutterable, however nowadays we openly have sex-ed in schools. As masturbation was considered a sin, it acquired a strong shade of black connotation. While sex was religiously acceptable within certain bounds, masturbation was never acceptable, and was discussed less. The more it is discussed the less controversial it becomes.

Most taboo words or topics hark back to religion and religious restrictions. This word has developed more slowly than some, but it is still in use, so it will almost certainly become quite acceptable to use without embarrassment or being looked down upon in the future.

I think it’s because some people are too shy to admit doing it. Some people are shy to talk about their bits or even their undies.

Personally I enjoy a good wank.

That is referring to the story of Onan. Onan's brother had died and under the tradition of Levirate marriage, Onan was required to provide a child for his dead brothers wife but, if he did so (and the child was a boy), his dead brother's inheritance would go to that child. If his dead brother's wife remained childless, Onan would get the inheritance. So, he pretended to fulfil this duty by having sex with his dead brothers wife but, at the last minute, pulled out and "spilled his seed on the ground". God saw what he did and killed him.

So that Catholics, and some others, have interpreted that as "God hates guys spilling their seed and that was the sin he killed Onan for", except there seems to be nothing else to support that interpretation. Fundamentally, Onan was greedy and allowed that to cause him to abandon a duty under their law at that time and then on top of that he played a trick on those around him to make them think he had tried and failed, rather than having deliberated avoided her having a child. That combination seems much more of a sin to me.

Then the Catholic interpretation seems to be completely out of step with what we know about how the male reproductive system works. From a certain point in puberty guys start producing sperm and it is a continuous process. Although they take a while to mature, once mature they don't last very long. So a guy who is not yet ready to be a dad can't save them up until some future time; they will be wasted, as in die having never been near an egg, whether he ejaculates them or not. Can you really believe God would design our reproductive system that way and then worry about a silly detail like whether we deliberately ejaculated when we weren't intending to father a child?

So my view is don't worry about that, just enjoy masturbating as pretty much everyone else is doing anyway.

yeah its normal, part of growing up, its no big deal anymore

I bet that grown ups do it just as well.

Me too.

It's funny that part of the taboo seems to be that we can we can say that we get horny, how we feel like we need to respond to being horny and how we wank because it is a good way to do that, but few people talk about how much fun it is. There have been discussions about who has a harder time of puberty, comparing the negatives for each sex but starting to masturbate is one of the really positive things about puberty.

So it is time to see this in a positive light. Getting horny is not curse that forces you to wank - it's a blessing that gives us the chance to enjoy a good wank and wanking is one of the great pleasures of life.

Let's face it, masturbating is probably the most fun you can have by yourself. It's still fun for me
