I'm trying to imagine exactly how you intend to teach them. That's... just weird.

I think that parents should not teach their kids about masturbation, but be there to answer any questions that the kids might have. Kids will figure out how to masturbate and probably want to keep it to themselves. A parent teaching it would just be awkward and probably weird the kid out.

I think parents actually teaching the children whether physically (sexual abuse in my eyes) is abnormal and cross's the line.
However, verbal is split in two. Actually describing the acts is not appropriate. but assuring them that using their hands or other objects (as they attend to do as getting older into teens) is ok. but give wise words about being healthy and not using inappropriate things (ex: weanie/hot dog- something someone else would use after, carrot is for eating, not sexual pleasure).
I think educating the children to know it is normal and ok that people fondle themselves as toddlers do, unsexually or teens for pleasure.etc. Let them know that is appropriate to do in private. Answering questions that the child/teen has so the relationship can stay open for communication. If close the door, then might as well close the door on every topic because they will be too embarrassed or worried to discuss it. Which can put a drift when they really do need help.
Teach them it isn't ok for others to do it as form of sexual abuse. Educate them to know what cross's the line into sexual abuse. Young children can have mix signals of what is right and wrong based on teaching. A mass of confusion of what exactly occurred. Was I molested or was he masturbating me in an ok way? Young children have questioned that.
As for masturbation, usually it is a natural thing for humans to experiment and ask others "anonymously" in case of embarrassment, label or in certain case's, religion. (which parents can be judgmental. Some parents in lack of fear of their child having sex, shame sex and say it is nasty).

This is one of those things that parents should not be teaching. It would be weird for the kid and can cause psychologically damage having a parent trying to teach them to masturbate. Trust me, they will learn on their own and in due time.

That is got to be the most absurd ? a person could ask. I hope you are not actually serious. I have two daughters and two sons and I think only a pedophile would be sick enough to actually try and show a child something that should be learned on their own. I hope everyone will agree with me when I say that masturbation is natural and bound to happen. It is about self discovery and does not have to be taught. ? for you. Did you learn how to have sex or did your mom and dad put on a show for you. Quit asking sick and stupid ?s and leave the poor kids alone to discover themselves on their own time, in their own way. It is child abuse any other way in my eyes.

Babies masturbate before they even know how to speak. It feels good to touch yourself "down there". My daugher (now 10) used to as a younger child get her fists all curled up and put them "down there" and lay on it, rubbing and kind of grinding on her fists. We had to put our foot down and tell her that what she was doing is something that nobody else should ever see, as it is not appropriate to do in front of others. Once they get into middle-school and high school and start talking with all of their friends, they will master the art. Parents don't need to get involved.

* Teach them yourself!
My mother did teach me (sort of)
My best friends mother was much better and taught her directly.
If you as parents don't teach them, who are they going to learn about it from. Do you think their friends know more about when and how to enjoy their bodies than you do?
What about self appointed sex-educators? Have a read of this:

Something as personal and intimate as sex and masturbation should firstly the parents responsibility. Do not allow others to separate you from your children.
Girls don't often discover that it is their clit they should focus on. If mother doesn't teach her how to touch herself, some girls when they feel the 'sexual call' of their bodies, think they should penetrate themselves - that should be avoided.
Also masturbation is normal, healthy, and good for you. Teach your children about. Boys have their equipment out in front, for them it is easy to learn themselves. Girls though, I highly advise that mother teach them.

Ok, that's just wrong to even think about that. You don't teach your kids HOW to have any sort of sexual activity, with someone OR alone.

i think that any parent that teaches their child to masturbate is a sick puppy and needs some real counseling in the nearest jail

Well, I'll answer with a question: did you need your parents to teach you?
