What age do people start masturbating?

Question

The reason I'm asking is because I remember when I was real young like around kindergarten (so age 4-6) that i would play with my clit every day and even sometimes more than once a day. I never really knew what I was doing or why. I didn't even know it was a "bad" thing. All knew is it felt really good.

Answer

I have a B.S. in Early Childhood Education. It's typical of children that age to "masturbate". It's a natural part of getting to know your body. Most kids stop either because they're told its "wrong" or they grow out of it. Then puberty....

Answer

People start masturbating as babies. Everyone is different. Many children stop because they are shamed and made to think it was a bad thing

Answer

I noticed that it felt good down there from a young age, like when I wiped with toilet paper or sat on my foot or something like that. But I didn't actively play with myself/masturbate with the intention of finishing until I was in high school. Probably 14 or 15.

Answer

I couldn't find the damn thing til sex Ed in middle school... I was a late bloomer I guess 😂

Answer

I think I started finding out stuff like that felt good around 8 or 9 and I was very experimental with my best friend at the time Clair. I think I started finding and watching porn around 10 but I wouldn't finish if I did anything. I didn't intentionally start finishing until I was in junior high

Answer

I started really young as well, I can't remember age (possibly 7?) but I remember if my mum caught me doing it, she would spank me for doing 'naughty things'.

Answer

When I was six, I started humping things like table corners, bunched up pillows, etc. It felt really good but I didn't know that I was masturbating. When I was in middle school, I would always sit on my foot because it felt good, but again, I didn't understand why. It wasn't until I was 14 that I knew what masturbating was, but I never put my fingers in my vagina because I was afraid it would make me lose my virginity and I'd go to hell lol. Catholic School sex ed wasn't very helpful haha
