I was really naive when I hit puberty. I was about 12 and was at summer camp for the first time when I "discovered" my penis. It seemed to go from little-boy-size to a 5" erection practically overnight, but I had no idea what to do with it. At camp, we had 5 kids and a counselor in each tent. The counselor was never around when we had to be in bed, so there was always a lot of talk among the boys.

All signs point to pleasure
As a boy of 6 I stayed on my uncle's farm for the summer. His 2 daughters were older than me by 6 and 7 years. Being farm girls they knew about sex and loved to take me to the attic where spare featherbeds were kept. There we all got naked and on those big, fluffy mattresses they taught me the basics of sex. I remember my little penis getting hard, and how it felt good when they would ride it (without penetration). But they rode it so long it got sore and I insisted on playing a different game.
Venture forth
I don't really remember discovering masturbation on a specific occasion, but I do remember that when I was about 10 or 11 I used to find it fun to lie on my stomach in bed with my penis between the fingers of my hand and move my hips up and down. I did this because it felt good and didn't associate it with sex, and so I wasn't at all embarrassed about it -- though my dad did try to stop me from doing it on more than one occasion. It felt too good to stop, though, so I would carry on again as soon as he left.
Wet dream? Forget it
I'm not sure how old I was the first time I masturbated -- 10 or 11, I think. I hadn't started puberty yet, I know that much. I've always like to read, and one day I had run out of library books and was desperate so I was reading my mother's "MS" Magazine. There was an Ann Landers-type column, and some woman had written that when she was a little girl her mother caught her in the bathtub with the water running onto her clitoris. She was so upset that even as an adult she could take showers only.
Standard practice
I am in my 50s and live in the center of Europe. The first time I came in contact with masturbation was when I was about 4. A same-age friend of mine and I were playing in a small forest, when an older guy of 10 or 12 joined us. Soon we were sitting under the bushes and discussing all sorts of things. We must have been talking about the opposite sex, when the older boy undid his trousers and started to rub his penis. He invited us to do the same, but with our 3 to 4 centimeters only at the time, we both were ashamed to unpack our treasure.
Saturday Night Live
The first time I masturbated I was 10 or 11 and was watching "Saturday Night Live" with my 15-year-old stepsister. I think we were playing truth or dare, and the topic of masturbation came up. I was like, "Huh?" She explained it to me with almost no details or anything. That night, BOY -- did I have a good time. I masturbated about 4 times (all dry). I think I was even making sex noises -- "uhhs" and "oohs." The next day I went to school and told my friends about it. On Friday they all came over to my house, where we all masturbated.
Bear with me
The first time I masturbated I was 11. I remember rubbing up against this big stuffed bear I had and then feeling great. I would do this before I went to sleep for about 2 years, and then I realized a liquid was coming out, so I began to masturbate in dirty socks and underwear. I grew up in a Catholic family, and in Catholic school I learned it was a sin to masturbate -- but it never made me stop, at least not for more than 2 weeks.
My favorite subject
Okay, I'm not good at writing but this is a favorite subject, so here goes. I had my first few orgasms when I was in the 6th grade, while I was asleep. I had no idea what it was all about. It was a mess to clean up, it kinda felt good while I was dreaming, but the sticky mess made it a pain. One morning I woke up and had a major erection and was lying on my stomach. I found out it felt real good to rub it by thrusting into the bed. But then I felt like I was going to lose it -- I was afraid I'd pee in the bed and my mom would find out, so I stopped.
If at first you don't succeed..
My history started when I was about 13. I was being nosy and was searching my mom's room. I found a "better sex" book, so I opened it and read all about how to do this and how to do that and stuff. Then I got to the "self gratification" section. It said most guys start masturbating around the age of 13, and I was like, whoa, wait a minute -- how come nobody told ME this? So I read how to do it. Well, I tried and tried for 3 months to ejaculate. I couldn't get all the way -- I could feel it coming, but my arm would get tired before I could ejaculate.
Hogan's Heroes
I don't remember the first time I masturbated. The first time I remember I was very young, probably between the 2nd and 3rd grade. My brother and sister and I had been playing, but I said I was going to take a nap and asked them to be quiet because, "the kind of dreams I want to dream I need quiet for." I lay under the covers, pulled down my pants, and began rubbing my penis ("peepee" as it was called) on the mattress. I fantasized about masturbation ("it" as I called it) being contagious, and that if anyone slept in my bed after I had done it then they would do it, too.
