I have never heard of this. It's something my friends and I would never consider. Do that many people really do it?

Judging from the mail I get, yes! This isn't a revelation, though – in his study back in the 1950s, the famous sex researcher Alfred Kinsey discovered that nearly 50% of adult males had had a sexual experience of some kind with another male at some time in their lives. I'd say that number is probably higher nowadays, since teen boys know much more about masturbation, it's no longer believed to be harmful, and there's less of a feeling that masturbating with other guys is "perverted."
