I don't think there is any problem in asking your parents about that. I am a 19 year old guy, since I was about 12 or 13 years of age, I masturbate about 3 or 4 times a day, surely this is better than being on heroine or any other type of drugs or going around raping women, I was once 'caught' having a wank by my father, I thought o dear I'm done for, but he said, son thats OK your just a natural growing boy, but I do realilise that not all fathers would take this attitude.

That is a no go area in my books. It is a personal thing. I am more than happy to talk to my friends about it, but my parents are definitely a no go.

I would feel super awkward asking my dad about jacking off. I have friends that I can, and do talk about masturbation with. I think my parents know I masturbate as they are not ignorant, never been caught but after all every teenage guy does it right? So I would like to leave them in the dark about the details of my habit and stay in the dark about theirs.

I would have loved to talk to my dad about masturbation, but we never talked about sex or masturbation. I guess thats why I like to talk about it now.
Age: 57 Location: NC
I definitely wouldn't even think of asking that question to my mother, but there's something about masturbation i would have liked to ask my father. My father died 14 years ago, and I never even got to seeing him naked, let alone talk about his masturbatory habits. Once or twice,though, as my brothers and I were going through adolescence, he made comments implying that masturbation was a natural part of growing up, but he also implied that it should stop after adolescence, so I would have liked to ask him if he really stopped doing it after he became an adult. I have the feeling he didn't.

I am babanrao 54, and I did see my dad masturbating, rubbing himself on the bed. I was 14 and had been doing it myself just at that age. I could not ask my dad so I asked my mum, and she masturbated me once and guided me a few more times. I soon became and expert and she caught me one day and after that we were intimate with each other in no time.
I never got round to discuss jackin off with my dad while he lived

That would be crossing the line. What ever my parents do/did sexually(my father has long since passed away) is of no concern or of any business of mine. I have always looked to my parents with the highest of regards and to ask them about any masturbatory habits they might have engaged in, is almost to the point of sickness to me. Growing up, and when I discovered my own nascent sexuality at around 12 years old, and started putting the sexual twos and twos together, I always envisoned my parents as not having to rely on masturbation as an outlet of sexual release. After all, they were married and as such, they should (and probably were) engaged in what I considered should be normal sex between a man and wife. As a youth, I always considered masturbation to be a sexual release of the last resort. It was something that I, as a horny teenage boy without a girfriend, did. I would have never admitted that I masturbated when I was a teen, again, as I thought by engaging in it, I was reaffirming what I thought (at that time) I knew was true: I was a hard-up boy without any other sexual release other than my masturbating. It was something I was not proud of at that time. As such, I couldn't envision my father, a strong man who supported me in every way, with a loving wife, as ever having to engage in masturbation, like a hard-up teenage boy. Now, as a much older man, having gained much more knowledge through my years lived, if I retrospectively look back at my parents, and if asked, I have to concede that it is possible that they engaged in masturbation, as I still personally engage in it (and now love it, my shame of it lost years ago) at my advance age. But whether they did or not is of absolutely no concern to me. I respect my parents too much to be privy to this kind of information, which is of no business of mine.

It would be an interesting discussion. That being said I would never try it. Just the thought of my mom/dad masturbating freaks me out a little. I would sooner talk to my friends about it then my parents. better to stay in your age group says I. However that being said, my parents are older and have more experience in this area then myself. But overall I still don't think I would be able to bring it up. It's just a little too awkward to talk to my parents about.

It would take some balls. I'm interested, but still...awkward.
I've almost asked my mom about her sexual history before. (She's pretty open, unlike my dad who, besides being rather nerdy and lucky just to have gotten married at all!, doesn't like answering my odd questions.) I actually got a bit of info indirectly. I was talking about lesbian people and my mom was curious how female-bodied people might have sex together. When I explained the basics, she essentially said that it sounded too vanilla for her! Go figure.

i dont have to ask my parents on how the mastrubate dad showed me howto do it when i turned 15 he jerked both he and i off at the same time his load was way more then mine but the 1st time cumming was the best, felt like just played 4 qrts and a overtime qrt in foot ball,

I dont know I am still only getting used to my own feelings and the thought of asking my mother about her masturbatory habits actually scares me. Yes I have had "the talk" and yes my father and I did talk about lots of things outside the normal talk and yes he did masturabate and yes he still does. He is a member of the Armed Services and he told me then that when he was away for long periods he masturbated to fulfil his need and to remain faithful to Mum. Even that shocked me in that my parents still - well you know - I'm 15 dads coming up 40 have I still got at least 25 years of happiness to look forward to - solo sex or joint. So yes I believe i could ask my father but to broach the subject with my mother no way - I dont think I can broach the subject with my siblings let alone Mum.

Age: 15 Location: usa
Are you kidding? I wouldn't have dared to ask my dad such questions. He never once said anything to me at all having to do with sex. My mother was different, but I still would never have asked her that question. I got the impression when I was in my early/mid teens that she more or less expected me to masturbate. When I was 13 she gave me a "Sex for Boys" booklet and later said "You know about that stuff, don't you? You know about masturbation, don't you? There's nothing wrong about it; all kids do it." She came within a few seconds of catching me masturbating a few times, and she actually did catch me a few other times. She just laughed; didn't make a big deal about it, and was OK with it.

I asked my dad when I was like 12 and we had a follow up sex talk to the original one years earlier. He told me that it was a substitute for sex, and we have never talked about it since then.
Age: 15 Location: ny
Asking your parents about their masturbatory habits is probably not the best idea. It makes things a tad awkward. For some of us, we don't even need to ask because we've walked in on our dads masturbating in the past.
Age: 18 Location: West Virginia
No. There's a reason why people masturbate behind closed doors- it's private. You don't want that kind of awkward conversation. What they do is private, and asking them would be a little weird.
Age: 14 Location: Bombay
It's perfectly fine and a good idea but I would personally feel really awkward. Someone should do it though if they have any serious questions or problems.

They might give you some helpful tips. They have a lot of experience and they were teenagers to . Show them what you do (your dad) and maybe he'll even r help you jack not abusevily obveiously but just making your teen years special and helping. I wish my dad could be nice to me like that.
Age: 13 Location: jqcksonville
Well, personally I would NEVER do this, I mean its awkward enough if they disccover that you masterbate! At least from a 14 year old it is. Asking my parents about masterbation habits would be like asking the president to strip, just not as disturbing.

No. Way.

Just, ew.
I never, ever want to hear about their sex life of masturbatory habits. Why would I?
Age: 18 Location: Melbourne, Australia
Children and young adults should be able to ask their parents any questions about sex (including questions about their parents' masturbatory habits) and get an open, honest answer. Unfortunately, too many adults are close-minded concerning anything of a sexual nature as evidenced by the high teen pregnancy rate and sexually-oriented violence rate in this country compared to other, more open societies.
So, children need to evaluate how their parents will react to a that question before asking. If their parents have been open and straight-forward about explaining sex; then it should not be a problem to ask.

Age: 42 Location: Oregon
A very uncomfortable discussion. Haven't made it really and don't plan to either. I don't think that most parents would like to be asked either.
Age: 18 Location: Boston
One word--never !!
Age: 43 Location: Orange County, CA
I think that the answer to this question depends on the relationship you have with your parents. Since most people consider their personal masturbation habits personal and off limits for general discussion, I wouldn't ask my parents about their personal habits unless there is a good history of such intimate conversations. On the other hand, if you already have conversations of such a personal nature, then this would be a good topic to learn more. However, understand that your parents may not be open to sharing such personal information.
A good way to open the conversation would be to ask non-specific general questions like 'what are typical masturbation habits.' This removes the personal nature of the conversation and may make it easier to approach a personal subject such as masturbation.
Remember that your parents may be just as nervous in answering your question as you are in asking it.

Age: 20 Location: Mumbai, India
Never ask your parents for one thing that's their private thing. Second that totally gross their your parents eww! But if you need some tips you can look it up online or... Take your finger and put it in between your lobes at the top and move your finger side to side really hard and fast it feels great and makes for great "feelings" if you catch my drift. Also remember do not masterbate more than 3 times a day when your under 18 it's for your own good! The most important thing is have fun!!!!!!!!!
Age: 19 Location: Pottsville
My mum knows I masturbate, and when the sex education show is on tv we talk about it.
And we were talking and I just went "do you?" and she went "sometimes"
Age: 15 Location: Leeds, UK
I wouldn't ever even consider it!
Age: 14 Location: Scotland
I think that trying to ask your parents about their masterbation habits would not only be mortifying for you, but also for them. I wouldn't do it.
Age: 11 Location: New Orleans
They have been dead for years and would not have told me anyhow
Age: 76 Location: UK
I would never even dream of it! Not that I think there's anything wrong with it, but it's just not a conversation I could ever have with them. Plus, I don't know if I should. Why would I ever need to know that at this point? Maybe when we had "the talk" it would have been a time to bring it up, but definitely not now.
Age: 27 Location: Texas
My parents are gone now, but sex and all related topics were off limits when they were alive. They were devout Southern Baptists and their backward perspective fucked me up big time. I didn't come out of the closet until I was 30, enough said.

I asked my father whether he masturbated when I was probably 12 or 13. He didn't seem to mind and answered the question very honestly. I wanted to know what was "normal" for a guy. I didn't care to know about my mother's habits.
Age: 36 Location: Illinois
At my age, I personally don't want to know how my parents masturbate, although I'm quite sure (and I hope!) they are both still doing it. As a parent, I would be touched if my daughter asked me how I do it or wanted some kind of advice regarding this deeply personal and wonderful thing you can do for yourself. I'd view it as an opportunity to let her benefit from my years of experimentation and experience. She would then have to tools to breeze through the things I had to "figure out on my own" and could instead work on perfecting the best techniques for bringing her own body to orgasm.
The more I work with teens, the more I realize that masturbation is the only socially "taboo" topic that people are still relatively resistant to discussing across generational lines (at least between women and their daughters). Yet, masturbation is the only "taboo" subject that we can honestly (and even boastfully!) share our experience with teens and young adults without ANY risk of harm to them! (Unless you engage in a dangerous technique of some kind...) Better yet, we are freed of the obligatory parental statement against them against doing the same as we did/do. If we DO actually share our experiences with sex, or drugs, on the other hand, we rarely encourage our kids to go out and do as much or more of those things as we did!
If your child wants to know if you masturbate, however, or how you do it, what's the harm in telling them? It may be "taboo" to discuss across generational lines, but it's one thing that really shouldn't be! Answering this question should be a "no-brainer" for parents! Masturbation feels good, it's good for your physical, emotional, and psychological health, and it can enrich both your personal and sexual life! If a younger person asked me about my own masturbatory activities, and it was my child - or any child with whom I was SURE the question wasn't intended as a "come on" of some type, but as genuine curiosity or a request for advice, I would be happy to share this kind of personal information with them. I think it's important that we embrace masturbation for teenagers (and adults) in our society as a safe and valid alternative to partner sex (that involves any exchange of fluids). Rather than preach "abstinence only," why not encourage teens who want to have sex to mutually masturbate instead? In addition to reducing teen pregnancy and STD rates, it would enrichen their sex lives once they do decide they are really in the right relationship and right time in their life to begin having sex.

Age: 13 Location: Pennyslvania
Well, For my Dad I'm not sure. I've never seen any evidence that would point tword the fact that he masturbates. I guess he does because most men do but I dont know. As for my mom she's doesn't seem like the type at all. She might but I strontly doubt it.
Age: 13 Location: USA
i think its good to show each other techniques and how to do it the right way. it can be a bonding experience and show that masturbation is okay
Age: 15 Location: loa angeles
Apparently they were doing more than that, or I wouldn't be here? I can't imagine asking them about anything masturbatory, particularly their habits. On the other hand, it wouldn't bother me in the least for the kids to ask me, or for me to ask the kids?
Age: 70+ Location: Kansas - USA
I live in a relatively sheltered household. I had to figure out all of my sexual knowledge on my own. I would never ask my mom about any sexual matters. But I have considered talking to my dad about masturbation because I know he does. He does not always clear his history on the computer. But it would be very awkward if I just brought it up out of nowhere. So I would have to walk in on him masturbating to get him to talk to me about it.
Age: 17 Location: Colorado
They've never really asked me about them before, but I would probably be ok with it if they did.
Age: 16 Location: Co.
Asking a family member (especially your parents)about their masturbatory habits?
To me that's only a couple steps away from actually walking in on them. In fact, their descriptions alone would be enough to visualize it. *shudders*
Now if you're talking about schedules (if any), those days would be pretty awkward if you ask me.
Age: 15 Location: Texas
I personally do not wanna know. I have old parents. I am 16, they are in their mid-50's.
Age: 16 Location: Alaska
god no!
Age: 15 Location: Netherlands
I would never ask my mom anything of the kind. On the other hand, I told my dad when I first stated to masturbate and he was willing to talk about it very openly. I know that he at least used to masturbate in his teens. It's been four years and I haven't talked to him about it since. It's not that I couldn't, it's just the awkwardness of broaching the subject. At the same time, I'm not all too curious.
Age: 16 Location: Washington
I don't really want to ask them about it for then they might assume that I masturbate. Then I would fell sorta embarrassed by that. I would want to know my dad used to do it though, that way I might find out a new technique.

Age: 49 Location: Seattle
I think this presents a very frightening mental picture for me - it was hard enough to envision them actually having sex, but masturbation?? Ouch. Some things you just don't need to know. But then again, I need to wonder, what do my kids think about me masturbating? They'd flip. Not only do mom and dad have an interesting sex life, but dad REALLY enjoys jacking off - a lot. Masturbation - it's the one thing I do entirely for myself. It's better now than when I was 16, and I'll be still doing it when I'm 86.
Age: 50 Location: NY
I would not dare to ask any of them about it! But I am sure that they both do. They are not living together and do not have any new partners. Once when on holiday with my mother we shared a hotel room. (I was around 12 at that time.) I remember I woke up during the night and heard my mother breathe deeply and frequently and she was also moving her hands under the carpet. I did not understand then, but now I do. Another time I was out on a camping trip with my father. We had to go to toilet in the bushes. In the morning he said that he had to go and took the roll of toilet paper and went away. I was curious (I guess under 12 at that time) and went after him to spy. I saw him squat to go to toilet. When finished he stood up and I saw him do it (I saw him from behind). I did not understand that either at that time. But now I do.

I wouldn't want to know about my parent's masturbatory habits. I wouldn't want them to ask me about mine either! I think it's something that should be kept more or less private. A guy could talk to his other guy friends about it to a certain extent... I think it's also important for a guy to be open about his masturbatory habits to his intimate partner... I don't think it's necessary to discuss it with parents. Sometimes I wish I had a better relationship with my father to discuss other male issues related to sex, but I would not discuss masturbatory habits.

I would rather have an adult confidant to ask then my parents. Makes things easier and a lot less akward.
Age: 12 Location: canada
I think that would be a very, very akward conversation. Me and my parents have never really talked about sex-related topics so I think it would be kinda weird talking about them with masturbation. I think masturbation is awesome and talk about it with my friends pretty much every day but that is way different because we all do it all the time and feel comfortable talking about it with each other even though we have never masturbated together. So overall I don't think that I would ever talk with either one of my parents about masturbation even though I do with my friends all the time. 16 y/o straight.

In past there was the adults of the day's favorite old stand-by, "Children should be seen but not heard." It was also a time when parents and guardians alike unfailingly swore they'd never done any of the stuff you did when they were kids. Being so lofty of mind, they never as much as wiped their runny noses on their sleeves. So, in my time, a kid would have been hard pressed to get an honest answer admission to a parent's masturbating.
Neither of my parents brought me up but my grandfather did in their stead. Born in the very late 1800s he was sometimes quite tight-lipped about sex, then sometimes not so. Upon turning a pre-teen, I was still quite often left in the dark about the birds and the bees and my own developing body. Another old saying -- "What you don't know can't hurt you."
Things remained so because, as with most kids of the baby-boom generation, you usually automatically knew there were some questions you didn't ask -- and I didn't.
At the beginning of the 1960s, even though I'd been secretly and very awkwardly groping my way toward that unknown point in time I'd curiously fiddle with myself long enough or by accident do something that would lead me to the big WOW -- an orgasm and ejaculation -- my grandfather didn't at all appear aware of my trying or my wondering. But, thinking on it, I didn't know what I was trying to do either.
We eventually moved from a rural area to a city, lots of people, lots of talk. Naturally, simple osmosis by way of a new, less reserved brand of worldly boy-talk going on all over the place led to my finally getting it. At last armed with essential information, I straight away set out to do "the deed."
Over the hump as it were and having masturbated all the way to first orgasm, I was at it every night though I had to make sure that my grandfather had fallen into deep sleep in the room, and the bed, we had to share.
I even became so careful as to crawl out of bed and lie on the floor to do it so the bed wouldn't shake when things turned crucial. However, despite my tries at discretion, I failed in that towels began turning up in weird condition on wash day. Once he'd heard about it my grandfather knew right off the bat what I was up to and the ax fell. He gave me quite a talking to.
Condition of my aunt's best bath towels aside, Grandpa let it be known that masturbating was shameful, to be frowned upon and especially frowned upon if it was me doing it.
Somehow during this 90-percent lecture/10-percent conversation I'd been sat down for, I did manage to meekly make inquiry if Grandpa had ever done it himself but he indicated that he had never masturbated and that the act led to insanity. He bolstered his opinion by telling me of his stumbling upon some guy doing it in an alley way back in the day. Naturally, just 13, my curiosity was peaked and pressed as best I could for a better description of what had happened. What I came away with was that the man was hunched over in the shadows and going at it kind of vigorously, making weird sounds sort of like owl hoots the whole time.
That never quite registered with me as an indication that the guy had gone nuts but that maybe he was really getting into what he was doing.
I mention all that because of the time I grew up in and that I doubt the world has changed all that much since. As a kid in the 50s, it was all, "Do as I say and not as I do," and it seemed that no adult anywhere ever owned up to anything other than always sitting quietly, hands folded and legs crossed.
In any event, I didn't pay much attention to my grandfather's warning -- just learned to be more careful. I also never believed he never masturbated.

I'd never ask, though I am a little curious. My parents don't even know I masturbate.

With my parents I'd put that idea up there next to cutting my dick off with a cleaver. That's a no in case you aren't sure. I'm an only-kid. My parents never talked sex. When I was little I got a whack if I popped a bone in the tub. No reason, just a smack. I got the idea. Dad's shot at a sex talk was age twelve telling me not to put a hand in my pocket because it looked like I was playing with myself. That's all he said. Mom's big deal is me not doing "wrong" with girls. She's happy I'm not "girl crazy" or date much. She says it's better to wait until I'm older. It's OK with her if I sleep over or guys come here. Mom likes the guys I hang with. She bakes extra when one stays. Last year when they'd be gone a weekend I got to have a friend over. They left. We went to my room. Our clothes stayed off until the next day. What a blast! When I was twelve/thirteen the game was jack-it. We went goofy in bed, tents, park bushes, school washrooms, you name it. Sucking came a year later. Man I loved that! Doing and being done are fantastic. Oral is great! Sixty nine is a easier to fantasize than do so you come together, but it's fun no matter. Some friends have girlfriends. They say there's more sex with us guy friends. Sometimes we do all nighters. It's just a few of us but one time we had seven in a tent. There's no rules on an all nighter except we keep it down if we're in a yard or place like that. No one's gets too drunk or high unless an older kid gets us out of town where we can go wild and no one see. The kid with the car likes blow jobs. Fine with me. It's worth it for the ride and all. Another friend moved here last year. Took us a while to be friends and for him to man up about fucking. He likes it. I make him happy every week, sometimes more. It's super great feeling his heat wrap my dick as I sink in. And yes we use protection. We were both virgin because all he used was fingers before I got his cherry. But safe is better. He's filled me a few times. It's OK but not my fave. I wanted to try it to see. So anyway there's NONE of what I do I want to talk over with mom and dad and NOTHING they do I want to know about. I don't want to know same as not wanting to tell them their son thinks he's gay. Maybe they'll figure it out. Maybe I'll get caught giving head to a kid at school and they'll find out that way.

Two thoughts on this one. One, if all parents were masturbating these days then teens who discover it would be less inclined to hide the habit and practice it more freely. Second who wants to know that their mom, or dad, is masturbating? its a private activity for a reason
Age: 27 Location: Los Angeles
I would really rather not do that. I try to live in an imaginary world where my parents don't masturbate.

I only live with my mom and would never ask her. My father I would ask and not have a problem. As for my own sun he knows of my habits as we have discussed masturbation openly.
Age: 27 Location: USA
I'm not prude by any means, but still could not ask my parents about their masturbatory habits. Even though, I know my Dad still orders playboy channel. That's how I masturabated when he wasn't home.
Age: 30 Location: nj
Generally, sex was not something that we discussed openly in my childhood so I don't think I could ever ask them anything regarding their own sexuality. Although I'll bet they do it, too.
Age: 35 Location: Finland
I wouldn't ask them. That's kinda disturbing
Age: 16 Location: California
NEVER!
Age: 32 Location: CT
I don't think about that and never will. That's just disturbing.
Age: 19 Location: California
I'd say it would definitely be a little awkward, because I mean, c'mon! They're your parents! And I'm not sure if I really want to know whether my parents masturbate.
Age: 18 Location: New York
I would feel ashamed, being roman catholic and a daily "masturbater" at the age of 11 seems...weird. Once when my dog wouldn't shut up, i opened thier door and caught them having sex. I feel like i dont need any kind of that strees/guilt in my life again.
Age: 11 Location: Bogota, Colombia
I already know that both my parents masturbate. I've stumbled upon my mothers dildo and my dads porn
Age: 15 Location: USA
I`ll never dare for that
Age: 12 Location: LA
Ive never really thought abt it, i wouldnt mind if my dad shared info like his favorite way to masturbate, how often he would masturbate when he was my age, how he discovered masturbation and the best masturbation he ever had. I think itd be interesting to compare stories but I would never ask, thatd be awkward.
Age: 21 Location: HI
My parents, both deceased, were very unspoken about anything sexual. On the other hand, I am completely open with my kids about my masturbatory habits and encourage them to answer their individual needs.
In the family/home environment I see little need for secrecy and mystery about sex and sexuality.
Age: 45 Location: Caliofrnia
I never have because I don't really get along with me dad. I wish I had a parent who I could talk to about sex and jacking off.
Age: 17 Location: Florida
I've never really even thought to ask. I honestly don't care and don't want to know. I've always been private with my jerk off habits. I look forward to gaining enough independence some day to jack off freely instead of rubbing my cock in my pants or in the shower. Some day if I have sons I want to be as open as possible. I want them to be able to ask my wife and I anything and feel free to have fun jacking off instead off worrying Mom and Dad might catch them.
Age: 16 Location: United States
i personally would find it quite disturbing just because i dont nessicarily care to know that about my parents. i mean if they masterbate... more power to them i just dont wanna hear of it
Age: 16 Location: in a land of penises and rainbows
no way.. they'd think im crazy!
Age: 14 Location: CT, USA
I would never ask them, that would be mortifying.
Age: 16 Location: US
Not good. I did once, they get REALLY MAD, then they dont answer and then they get suspicious about your activities.
Age: 13 Location: Adelaide
I am too scared to ask them
Age: 16 Location: AZ
i cant even think of it. I dont think anyone will do this
Age: 20 Location: india
The thought disgust me. Who wants to picture their parents masturbating?
Age: 19 Location: California
Well, I wouldn't ask my mom because I'm easily embarrassed and she might just tell me straight out. My step-dad is a christian innocent so....... yeah, and my father would be to open for me and might even start talking about his sex life and as I said i'm easily embarrassed
Age: 16 Location: Olympia, Washington
I would feel very uncomfortable, heck i would never ask them this.
Age: 20 Location: california
First off it would be awkward on both of us. I personally wouldn't care to know what my parents do or have done.
Age: 25 Location: North Carolina
uhh not gonna happen. they dont ask me i dont ask them
Age: 14 Location: usa
That will never happen!!!
Age: 17 Location: Idaho
I taught my sons about master bating and actually showed them how a few times. It is normal
Age: 48 Location: Colorado
I guess there's nothing wrong with it if you're all comfortable with the topic. My folks and I don't have that kind of relationship, though I think I could probably talk to my dad about it if I really wanted to. He did once drunkenly volunteer some information, and I sort of shrugged and changed the subject. The equation (Mom+Dad)x69 = Eww^n applies to masturbation as well. Just because they do it doesn't mean I want to think about it.
Age: 25 Location: Texas
I don't think i would ever do that. I live with my dad and i can just assume that he masturbates since he is a single guy.
Age: 18 Location: Australia
Why would anyone do that!?!?!?!
Age: 14 Location: Chicagoland
they will kill me
Age: 17 Location: Pakistan
Yeeeeeeah... no thanks, not curious and not ready to endure possibly the most awkward conversation possible.
Age: 15 Location: Australia
Never have, never will. I hope to be a more open minded parent but the thought of talking to my parents about masturbation is just way too embarrassing and would just lead to awkwardness. Besides I found jackinworld when I first learned how to masturbate so it taught me all I needed to know!
Age: 24 Location: Ireland
Part of me wants to know and part of me doenst.
Age: 17 Location: Texas
i dont find it hard to ask my father about masturbating we both masturbate together all the time he even buys me porn.
Age: 13 Location: anywere
it would be nice to be able to open up to them cuz then i wouldent have to hide it..but i would never tell them
Age: 15 Location: united states
I would never ask such a thing.
Age: 17 Location: Southern Hemisphere
It would be really awkward.
Age: 12 Location: Canada
Honestly, I'd really rather avoid it.
Age: 16 Location: Connecticut
Certainly no!
Age: 15 Location: UK
i didn't really wanted to know what they think, i just didn't want them to know about me watching porn
Age: 19 Location: N/A
While my dad is fine with masturbation and often jokes about it and drops hints about it to show he is open to talk too, I doubt I'd ask about their masturbation habits. I presume my dad masturbates, but I just don't really want to know about it. As for my mum, she's walked in on me before and politely left, but I just don't think she's the type that would.
Age: 14 Location: Australia
my dad but not my mum
Age: 17 Location: uk
Aaahh! Scariest thought ever! I don't think I could ever do it.
Age: 14 Location: massachussetts
Good god no my parents are ancient and repulsive
Age: 22 Location: Earth
While masturbation is nothing to be ashamed of, I highly doubt I would ever ask my parents about their habits. There are few things that I think would be more awkward to discuss with them! While it's awful there's a social stigma on the subject, it still exists, and there's few people I would actually discuss it explicitly with.
Age: 18 Location: Montana
I think it would be awkward to ask them about that. I would just get new techniques online. I mean, everyone knows their parents have masturbated before, but it would be weird to bring it up
Age: 15 Location: Alabama
Well my dad and my brother talk about it a lot but my brother has been with his girlfriend for 2 months now so she does all his releiving for him so their conversations have stopped. I used to listen in on them talking to get some tips but now they don't talk about it at all. I'm to awkward to ask my dad anything so I've only got my randy friend to ask. All he likes to talk about is how big I am (he caught me once). It sucks, he's no help at all.
Age: 14 Location: Australia
That is for sure a line you DO NOT cross. Even if you are close to your parents, some things are just private.
