I was a tender young farm boy who attended a small town consolidated high school in the '50s. The study hall for the school was actually a former church. The main room had shelves around the sides and tables with plenty of chairs around the room. If you misbehaved, you were sent into one of two corner rooms that were on each side of the former entrance to the church. These rooms had windows from the desk top level to the ceiling, so you could sit at the counter and study and your lower body would not be visible to the study hall proctor. There was already one boy in the room. It was not long before we began to talk about self pleasuring ourselves. It was really easy to remain undetected, in as much as our lower bodies were below the desk and not in view of the proctor. We whispered back and forth, and each of us started to rub our own penis inside our jeans. At the age of 14 it did not take either of us long to ejaculate. After we finished we discussed how long we had been doing this. I recall that we reported to each other that this was our first time. What a pleasant sensation. We had of course heard others talk about this fun. Needless to say, both of us often got into trouble in study hall so that we would be sent to this corner room.
Then, with my high school days behind me, I attended a liberal arts college and had two roommates. Not knowing them very well, it became my habit to masturbate while in the showers. In the dormitory, which was three stories tall, the showers were in the basement. We wrapped a towel around ourselves and used shower shoes to travel down the stairs to the shower room. With the private stalls and the white plastic shower curtains in place it was convenient to masturbate to climax without being caught. I usually self-pleasured myself 3 or sometimes 4 times a week. This remained a private affair for me during my college years.
Then off to the military. Back then we all joined to avoid Army service. The draft was used to obtain Army personnel. I was fortunate and enlisted in the U.S. Navy. During basic training there were roving patrols in the barracks at night. Everyone except those on watch were to remain in their bunks. These bunks were two tall. It was here that I, and probably most everyone else, learned to masturbate very slowly and quietly. I know I did. I also know that several times I was aware that the young man in the bottom bunk was pleasuring himself. The bunks were made of lightweight tubes and rocked back and forth slightly, keeping time with the motion of the ejaculating body in the bunk. I think that at times I also awakened my bunkmate with the motions I created during my climaxes. While we never talked about masturbation during basic training, I feel that we all knew what was going on. However, masturbation was a very private affair. None of us wanted to get into trouble or get set back in our training. Every one of us had as a personal goal to get out of this situation and to the fleet as soon as possible.
Then, on to the ships of the fleet. I recall my first duty station. A large ship. After I became familiar with my shipmates in the division I was assigned to, it was very easy to ascertain the showering habits of everyone. Also, the concept of a Navy shower, introduced in basic training, was a requirement on board a ship. At sea the ship manufactured the water for drinking, bathing, and cooking. Therefore we had to wet down, turn off the water, soap up, and work the lather over our entire body, and then rinse off quickly, turning off the water promptly before stepping out of the shower stall to dry off so the next shipmate could shower. It was during the lathering phase that everyone took the opportunity to massage their penis to climax. Of course at this point in our lives we were really quite aware of what everyone was doing; therefore, if someone took a very long period to shower (lather up), we would all start cracking jokes about the sailor in the shower. Of course we all learned to work ourselves off quickly.
When the ship was in port, with water from the shore via hoses, we all were allowed to take "Hollywood" showers — we could shower as long as we wanted with plenty of soap and lathering. During these showers we would massage ourselves to climax much slower. Additionally, many sailors would be ashore with their families if we were in our home port, or they would be on liberty visiting the city we were moored at. This allowed those on board to enjoy the showers even more — not as many people waiting to use the showers.
As I write this bio I recall the intense pleasure that I enjoyed while self-pleasuring during my teen years, my 20s, and my 30s. While most of these times required a quick response to avoid detection, there was also plenty of opportunity to slowly pleasure myself. After I married I assumed that I would not need to pleasure myself. Well, even though I have always enjoyed a very pleasing sex life with my wife, it was not long before I ascertained that there is also a time and a place for masturbation. Sometimes the situation is such that masturbation is coveted. It is neat to recall the pleasure from days gone by. It is also great to explore the opportunity to self-pleasure at a slower pace and also take the opportunity to break the pace and withhold climax so you enjoy the pleasure over a period of hours. This has resulted in an enhanced sex life for me with my spouse. I have learned, and I've also read of techniques that can be used to prolong the experience of sexual intercourse. By practicing these procedures during masturbation, I have been able to have a more satisfying sex life.
Additionally, even as I age, masturbation during my spouse's monthly cycle is a real turn-on for me. Additionally, we as a couple have explored the opportunity to masturbate each other to climax. This is also a great fulfillment for both of us. The techniques of masturbation have served me well in my marriage in also in my single life.
When my sons were in their early teens I openly discussed masturbation with them. I also pointed out to both of them the fact that masturbation was normal, and also that it's a safe release of sexual tension in a young male body. I know that during my life my masturbation habit allowed me to remain healthy because I used masturbation instead of casual sex with females to satisfy my sex drive. I never contracted any diseases during my Navy career. For that I am grateful.
My sons are now married and enjoying life. I feel that my open attitude toward masturbation, which I shared with them also, is allowing them to be healthy and to have a satisfying sex life within their marriages.
This bio may not contain much excitement, but it is indeed very true and factual. I am submitting it to allow others to realize that this habit is both satisfying and normal, and that it's a lifelong practice.
Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
