Discussing Masturbation

There has only been one person that has discussed masturbation with me and that was my wife. Something that is part of one's life, something that one does regularly like I have and do, I have difficulty discussing with anyone who is not my lover.  I am now discussing masturbation with a certain degree of anonymity and it feels good. I can be honest. I'll be masturbating again tonight. I'll work out a bit after dinner and be feeling really great and will need a really intense orgasm to set the world right! I have been masturbating about 4-5 times a week as a Widower. I feel good when I masturbate regularly as I know that regular ejaculation is part of good Men's health.  When I was about half way through 13 it was time for me to start showering. As I stepped in the shower that day I remembered Mom's cleaning instructions. She told me to make sure I wash good because I was not soaking in the tub anymore.  I decided I was not paying enough attention to my groin area and started soaping my penis and testicles up. Then started to rub my penis to clean it like I had done my whole life up until that point.  Then 2 things happened that I thoughougly enjoy to this day. I got erect and I ejaculated! I have been getting erect and ejaculating regularly ever since! I think as long as I watch what I eat and excercise regularly I will continue to get erect and masturbate into old age. When I started to masturbate I didn't have anyone to talk with about what I was doing. I didn't even know it had a name. I had a feeling my Dad and Mom were not the ones to discuss it with so I didn't. They had to know because I started spending more time in the bathroom, taking more showers, sometimes 2-3 times a day. But it felt so good! I feel because I knew nothing about masturbation before I started to masturbate that it is natural to masturbate.  After we married I admitted to my wife that I masturbate. She said she knew that I did. I asked her if she masturbated and she said yes! Then I knew I could talk to her about masturbation. I've always wanted to know who else masturbates. Male or Female. For the guys, I think it is more who is like me? For the girls, I find it very sexually stimulating if I know a woman likes to masturbate. My wife thought that my Grandfather masturbated and that her brother in law did too.  But that she did not think that her big brother who she looked up to masturbated. I told her that I think that men who are educated, take care of themselves and have a good sex drive like me also masturbate regularly like I do but do not have any facts to back my opinion up.  I am now widowed and I continue to enjoy masturbating. I get good erections. My penis is above average in size. I enjoy watching my hands work my erection. I also enjoy looking at my erection. It's all part of the experience. My erection looks and feels good in my hand. I've been noticing that I use a lot of wrist action up on top by the glans and don't stroke up and down so much. I like to get naked waist down after I lock my door for the night. I like the lube I use because It goes on as a cream and then after a few strokes it get's slippery oily. I like it because it does not drip. I get erect dry. Then when ready to stroke I put some lube on and work the lube in with my left hand which is very pleasurable!  Sometimes I use my phone and sometimes I think about past sexual encounters when I masturbate. Like years ago when the GF of the guy I was rooming with before I married would say she knew I was wacking because I would lock doors, which she was right.  I think it turned her on that I masturbate even though she put me down about it. One night when we were alone and she was drinking she had her hands down my pants. After she had her hands and mouth on my erect cock, she told me with a smile that I was as big as her boyfriend! She found out exactly what she was looking for!. My wife told me if she had a cock she wouldn't be able to leave her hands off of it like me. I think my wife was telling me that it was ok for me to masturbate and it turned her on! I would just like to know who else masturbates as I always have been curious. If I had to guess I think 1 in 4 guys masturbate regularly like me but it could be higher. I believe most guys have masturbated at one time, but who like me has no issues or hangups, who thinks masturbating is perfectly normal, natural and does not miss out on one of life's pleasures weekly like I do. Ever since I read the sex manual "Everything you wanted to know about sex but were afraid to ask" that my parents had in the attic in a box with other books I've wanted to know who else masturbates. I spent many a day when I was 15 masturbating daily up in that attic educating myself. It felt so good!!
