Masturbation is one of the most pleasurable and satisfying things in life. Also masturbation has absolutely no relationship between sexual orientation. We ALL do it! There should be no shame in doing it but it is a good idea to ask your teen to do it in the privacy of their room or in the bathroom.
Im 14 right now, I started masterbating and watching porn at the age of 9 and masterbate at least 3-4 times a day.
12 is abøut the age
Hell, compared to you guys, I'm a fossil at 48 years old, and I still jerk off at least once a day. I started when I was around 10, by time I was 12 or 13, I'd cum at least 3 or 4 times a day. As an educated adult, I can tell you it's all perfectly natural, in fact, it's a healthy expression of your sexuality. Don't panic if you can't decide if your straight, bisexual, or gay, just enjoy...it's quite simple, what ever makes your penis hard is what turns you on, be it gay, straight or bi porn. It's perfectly normal to any of them. Don't let society shame your sexual preference, be proud of who you are. I knew I was gay since I was 5...but back then I had no internet, no public acceptance. You guys are so lucky to have technology to help you figure it all out. Just be careful, there are a lot creeps out there, and pedophiles. Also, if you start engaging in intercourse, ALWASY wear a condom. I've lost too many friends to HIV, and seen so many end up with an STD (sexually transmitted disease). Sex is the BEST THING EVER!!! just please, use common sense, don't be afraid to experiment to help find yourself, and just be happy and enjoy!
