Apart from the turn on of reading Posts here while masturbating one can quite often find out interesting aspects of masturbation from other masturbation devotees. My masturbating was well established years before my puberty and I had thousands of full hot (but dry) orgasms without any sexual knowledge or sexual reference. When puberty came and I started producing, my brain quickly "obsessed" onto girls and their attributes and whatever I could learn about heterosex. But my devotion to masturbating was unchanged. Courtship always involved masturbatory petting. After marrying my masturbating continued unabated. By my thirties my cock could only be satisfied by ever increasing masturbation. Solosex became my main and great sex pleasure, although still capable of marital duties. In my forties understanding gentlemen were able to stimulate me to some bisexual interest, based around masturbating. Anyone similar or would like to comment? Does early orgasming affect later orientation?

In my early day I was an avid catalogue wanker
Many years later I still prefer dressed more than I do porn
Also my experience on here tells me I am not alone

I think I started real masturbation at around 11 or 12 but do not remember when my dick was full hard and I shot cum. Once I found the full pleasure of getting off I think I would jack off most often every day and when the opportunity was there I would jack several times I a day. I was quite shy about what I was doing and did not think of doing anything but with female . Most often wondering what they had under their clothes. I was in hight school before the idea of jacking off with a guy came into my mind. and it was the act of seeing and doing in front of another person. I kept a regular habit of masturbation all through life even when I had a GF or wife that was open to sex. I think jacking off is just a regular part of a guys life and an easy way to get off. I like to JO very much and the older I get the more fun it is to do with someone watching and also very much enjoy seeing a guy jack and cum.

The Sears catalog, women's underwear and swimsuit sections, were my best friends as a teenager.

I started playing with my cock when I was still in diapers. According to my mom she couldn't keep them on me, I would be sitting naked in the floor, hard, playing with my penis.

That never stopped. Ay 8yo I had my first dry orgasm from looking at my brothers dirty mags. I started ejaculating at 11yo. Have had GFs and have been married for almost 25 years and there is nothing I enjoy more than playing with my cock. No one can make me cum better that I can.

I'm the same here, started to JO at the age of eleven and never stopped. The older I get the more I get turned on by being watched and/or watching other guys JO in front of me or on C2C sessions.

Could masturbation be independent of orientation? Could a gay masturbator equally enjoy masturbating with a straight masturbator?

My first sexual experiences were with a much older neighbour who taught me how to masturbate and other fun things two men could do together. I also had a good mate who enjoyed mutual masturbation as much as I did, so my early sexuality was certainly more homosexual than bisexual.

When I reached puberty, I became more interested in girls and reasonably repressed my homosexual (or should it be bisexual?) tendencies. As I got older, into my late 50s, I started to become more interested in men again. I've had a couple of very mutually satisfactory relationships and would love another one. Even though I have these attractions, sex with my wife was very enjoyable but this has, unfortunately, ceased since she went through menopause years ago.

My fantasies these days are more to do with other men than women. I'd love to have a regular friend with benefits, but don't see it happening.

I believe that is the case. I don't think that orientation is everything. Of course, a straight person would need to overcome any prejudices regarding homosexuality to really enjoy being masturbated by another man.

This is a good shot into the dark void of libido wonders. I don't know how we would measure these behaviors, "pre-cum" masturbation years and cum with masturbation tendencies.
I'm pretty sure that I started jacking off for real at about 13, and did not produce cum the first or second time. Then, boom, the cum came with great flow and power, and often.
My tendencies were for females, and my jacking off centered on the female images in my world.

With married life, I soon realized that straight fucking was grand, but not always enough to drain libido urges; it did not take much time before I encouraged the wife to masturbate along with me after we fucked. Now that she's dried up, I'm lucky if I can get her to stick a tit in my mouth while I self-fuck. Sometimes when I'm really lucky she will masturbate while wearing her underwear. She presses her middle fingers firmly on her garment while giving expert-like massage to her clit.
She also likes to pull her underwear tightly to one side of her pussy while self-fucking. But these behaviors are now far and few between. But, years ago, we enjoyed all of it together.
I miss wet pussy a lot, and I envy young men still fucking wet pussy. They do not yet know how fortunate they are. Their day will come, at least for many, when a wet pussy is a memory, nothing else.
Cheers!

No, you are not alone because I enjoy the hot pics of cunting, dressed teens and women. I find that many naked pics also get to me, but the "cataloge" pics filled my days with great fuck objects.

As for others jacking off, I recall visiting the Los Angeles County Zoo with my young wife decades ago. There, we watched a caged monkey jacking off and edging with great pleasure. I suspect that masturbation is common to humans, apes, and monkeys. I think too that dogs and cats would jack off if they could.

Ha, best friends... Sears catalog womens underwear... I do remember those sections & there was also Montgomery Wards catalog. Bras & underwear year around & swimwear in the summer catalogs.

Apparently my mother noticed my interest as well and being the artist type she sketched clothes (blouses) on the gals. covering up their bras.

Actually I don't recall masturbating to them, especially since I didn't want to get cum anywhere near those thin paper pages. What a mess it would make, stuck together & crunchy. But I certainly spent time studying those bras. Especially the nursing bras with the flaps in front.

Back then bras were designed like sturdy armament with thick fabric and under wiring, hooks & clips and things. Can't imagine they were very comfortable to wear. Same with panties & girdles.

I started masturbating at around 4 years old. I really enjoy very long solo sex sessions. For me, I love to have edge sessions for 8 or more a couple times a week. And I spend most days naked or at least while wearing only a shirt.

Totally agree, with me the same - I also started JO a little before puberty by an older cousin, I never stopped JO since then. Explored masturbation and loved looking at the female and male bodies as much I could over all my years. Seen them all school to grand parents.
