should i admit to my friends that i masterbate?

Question

I’m 16 years old and whenever someone brings up masterbation asking if anyone’s done it, all my friends say things like ‘no ofc not that’s gross’ and i usually say the same thing because i’m embarrassed. But i’ve been masterbating for a few years now and i dont know if I should admit it to my friends because I’m afraid if I do they’ll think I’m gross. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

It’s really none of their business

Answer

Girls have this shame schema around masturbating. I guarantee 90% of your friends masturbate and are thinking the exact same thing. Really, it’s none of their business and you don’t need to tell them. But when it’s brought up again, you could be like “it’s really not that gross guys grow up 😂” or something to normalise it

Answer

They’re probably lying as well. Its normal. Tell them if you’d like. Or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Being private is always okay. When your older it’s less weird and awkward.

Answer

lol so my friends all said the same thing growing up. I spoke up and admitted I do it and enjoy it. all my friends (except 1) came to me separately and admitted they do too 😂😂😂 you're definitely not alone out there. people are just scared to step forward. some people are actually quite terrified of it though for some reason.

Answer

I’m sure they’re lying . They don’t need to know your personal business so I wouldn’t volunteer that info

Answer

call us weird but at that age probably even younger, my friends and I always talked about masturbation .. as a joke but we were also serious . they immature if they think it’s gross.

Answer

Oh my god same! Literally exactly same. I’m also 16 and I’ve been masturbating since I was like 12 or something but all of my friends always say like how “gross” and “perverted” it is to masturbate and it’s sooo annoying!

Answer

I really don’t understand what this thing is with sharing every single thing you do in your personal time? Not you specifically, but in general. No one keeps their business private anymore. What you do in your bedroom is YOUR business. Why that needs to be discussed with anyone else is beyond my comprehension.
