I was raised in the Catholic faith and remember how embarrassed I was going to confession every week and telling the priest that I had been "impure in thought and deed" referring to my masturbation addiction. Interestingly enough, the priest would always ask if my impure "deeds" were alone or with another person. Of course all this led to extreme guilt after every masturbation session because it was considered to be a sin to "play" with your dick. Any other Catholic guys have the same experience as teens?

I'm glad the priest never asked if I was with somebody when I 'confessed' to masturbating as I had a regular Jo bud from age 12 to 18.
I was also an altar boy and one day I snuck into the priest's side of the confessional and discovered that the priest could definitely see the.person on the other side. From then on I rode my bike to another church whenever I went to confession.
Funny thing, after I went off to college and started having sex with girls, and jacking almost daily, I never mentioned either of the activities in the confessional.
Still don't.

I used to live in fear of mortal sin and going to hell every time I jacked off as a young teenager. The Church had a way of instilling huge guilt into us over all this. And, of course, the nuns were the worst. They could lay guilt on us for just about anything and most of us grew up in fear and burdened with guilt over the littlest things. I'm resentful now over all that. Now, when I jack off, or play, My only issue is having to wait until I'm horny enough again to get naked and play with myself or a friend.

I remember the first time I had to confess I'd masturbated. I was 9, and didn't know what to say, so I said I'd done something nasty. The priest asked, "Did you pull your peter?" I said I had; then he asked, "Did anything come out of your peter?" I said no. He said that wasn't very bad, but don't do it again. Next month I had to admit I hadn't taken the warning. The guilty feeling was huge, but never stopped my peter pleasure.

I never confessed that I masturbated. I don't consider it a sin. It never even crossed my mind to confess it. There are certainly sexual sins, some very grave ones that I agree are sins and no one should do them. But those acts aren't the subject here.

But masturbation, while the church may say it is, I don't agree, and as has been pointed out constantly, Jesus was silent on the subject and in fact there is no reference to it in the Bible whatsoever (including the Old Testament story of Onan). And I know the reasons why it's considered a sin (from St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, et al). I simply don't agree with them. Why is mastrubating the only activity one can do that affects only one's self that is considered a sin?

I did have guilt once upon a time, but that's long in the past.

I'm still a practicing Catholic. I was at Mass this morning, and right now I'm masturbating.

During the movie ANGELAS ASHES the priest asked a person during confession .was it with ones self ,another or a beast ,then it said the priest must have been from the country .

When I was a summer session student at San Diego State, I met up with some other guys in their 20's and we routinely swam naked at the Bishop's retreat house. Some guys hooked up with him but I did not. Any other guys (when you were older than 1 WILLINGLY have sexual contact with Catholic clergymen?

I grew up Catholic but I never confessed to jerking off, all I ever said was that I disobeyed my parents or yelled at a parent or fought with someone. Sex confessions were and are out of the question. No wonder us Catholics are so hung up

Wow I thought i was the only guy that felt that way. Cofession was the worst thing in the world when I was a kid but like others on here I never told about it I just said I lied a little & thought that should cover me Thank God as I got older the guilt passed and I now feel it's a pleasure God gave us and we should enjoy it! My brother asked me years ago to have a talk with my Godson and I told him as long as it didn't consume all his time and interfear with his school work it was OK to do, years later he thanked me for that advice and never felt it was wrong I hope he passes that on to his kids one day or if I'm still alive I'll be glad to preach it
