Answer 1

Can a 12-year-old NOT masturbate?!?!

Answer 2

You most certainly can masturbate and you are at just the right age to start. I will share with you a few tips that I shared with my grandson. First, if an adult man or woman offers to show you how, avoid them they simply want to see your privates and possibly sexually abuse you. The same goes for older boys. You can masturbate yourself because it is a very normal and natural thing. The first thing you need to do is get your penis erect. At your age that is already happening so when it occurs the next time find yourself a private place. If it is not erect just reach down and grab hold like you are going to pee and shake it a few times and rub the skin back and forth over the head of the penis and it will become erect in a few seconds. You need to get naked or seminaked and then reach down and grab hold of your penis with your fingers just tight enough that you can move the skin up and down on the shaft. Just keep doing this in a relaxed manor until you feel good feelings in the penis, scrotum, and groin area. After a few minutes it will feel like you have an urge to pee just keep going and you will have a series of contractions and your penis will move a little on its own. When you get older semen will shoot out the end. Now some advice. When in the shower wash well and if you use soap as a lubricant so that you can masturbate with your whole fist be sure to rinse the soap off really well. Try not using soap to masturbate. Soap drys the skin and will cause the skin on our penis to get red or crack. If you want to masturbate with your fist use hand lotions or body lotions. Remember solo sex (masturbation) is a form of sex and like all sex should be personal and private. Also, never stick your penis into anything but your hand, your partners hand, or a girls vagina. Avoid blowjobs. In order to get a ******* a penis must be put into someone's mouth and mouths have teeth and teeth can harm the penis. You should be moderate in masturbating. At your age it is common to masturbate 2 or 3 times a day. When your 14 or 15 you may cut back to once a day or a few times a week. When 16 to 18 a few times a week usually works fine. As an adult 2 or 3 times a week. If you have a sex partner then you won't masturbate much at all. Enjoy your sex and be safe

Answer 3

... There is no one definitive age. I believe one can "successfully" masturbate once they are pubescent. That said, the onset of puberty can happen at any wide range of ages, as many text books and adults will exhaustively tell you. So there really is no one direct answer to your question. It's a case-dependent thing.

If you are pubescent, you should know. (Growth spurts, voice change, etc. are all symptoms.) But that's not for me to say. Read on for more information.

The expert opinion:

"The age at which puberty begins can vary widely between individuals and between populations. Age of puberty is affected by both genetic factors and by environmental factors such as nutritional state or social circumstances. Timing may also be affected by environmental factors (exogenous hormones and environmental substances with hormone-like effects) and there is even evidence that life experiences may play a role as well.

Ethnic/racial differences have been recognized for centuries. For example, the average age of menarche in various populations surveyed in the last several decades has ranged from 12.0 to 18.5 years."

"Although erections and orgasm occur in prepubertal boys, they become much more common during puberty, accompanied by a markedly increased libido. Ejaculation becomes possible early in puberty; prior to this boys may experience dry orgasms. Emission of seminal fluid may occur due to masturbation or spontaneously during sleep (commonly termed a wet dream, and more clinically called a nocturnal emission). The ability to ejaculate is a fairly early event in puberty compared to the other characteristics."

Answer 4

A baby can get an erection too, so I wouldn't go by the first answer. I wouldn't even start masturbating if I were you. You are much too young, it will only lead to more and you don't need that until you are married.

Answer 5

you can start masturbating whenever you feel comfortable.. everyone starts at different times. but what CW said is right if you start masturbating now in a couple of years or less you will want to experience other things.. with girls...

Answer 6

Of course you can. It's up to you. Theoretically, the more you do it, the more practice you get for later on... but honestly, don't overdo it. There are other things in life than masturbating.

Answer 7

yes,i started at 12/13, but be warned,very addictive,im 47 now,and still love it,daily ritual.Wife works nights,so strip down and go for it just b4 going to sleep,(as i said b4 be warned very addictive)but i have no complaints,could be a lot worse things around to be addicted to.

Answer 8

Answer 9

u can but nothing will happen if uve never done it idk if its normal or not but when i started nothing came out until after a few times of doing it.i would wait as long as u can. its more addicting than crack. so if u do it then no what ur getting urself into.
