My First Masturbation Experience

This is the true story of how I discovered masturbation.

I was born in the early 1950's into a time when sex just wasn't spoken about. It was a taboo subject so when I hit puberty I had no knowledge of sex at all. It was a huge shock when I got my first 'Hard On' (Erection) !! I was still 13 years old and it happened in the middle of the night when I suddenly woke up with a feeling that something wasn't quite right. After a few seconds when my drowsiness was gone I realised that it was my cock that didn't feel right. I had to share a bedroom with my brother and there was a small unit between our beds where I had a torch so I very carefully picked up the torch and got down under my bedclothes pulling them tight behind my head and turned on the torch. I removed my pyjama bottoms and was shocked to see my cock stiff and pointing upwards. I actually thought that there was something wrong with me & nearly went to my parents bedroom, and with hindsight wished I had as they would have had to tell me what was going on, but I was too embarrassed. My first instinct was how do I get my cock back to normal so I took it in my hand and pulled it downwards and then let go, nothing happened but I realised that it felt wonderful holding my hard shaft in my hand and even better with the downward motion. It felt so hard too and it had gone a fairly purple colour especially the bulging tip. I tried again but this time let my hand come back upwards before letting go. Still hard and erect but boy that feel fantastic. I took it in my hand again and repeated the down & up movement but now I didn't let go, just pausing momentarily between each stroke. It felt absolutely wonderful. Then just by instinct I started to wank (Jerk/Jack) my cock to a slow steady rhythm without the pauses. I thought that I was in heaven, it felt so good. Eventually after 5 or 6 minutes I felt my body heave & my cock started to pulsate  as my first orgasm rippled through my body but I didn't ejaculate in the normal sense. It wasn't until the throbbing stopped that a tiny amount of fluid (Semen) popped out of the slit in my cock head and sat there on it's tip. It was no more than a raindrop or teardrop in amount. I guess all first timers are like that and it was a few months or so before I started to spurt cum normally. I learnt another lesson the following night. I went to bed very excited at the prospect of my cock going hard so I could wank again. I lay in bed waiting for it to go hard but nothing happened. I was puzzled because I thought that if it went hard on it's own the previous night surely it would do so again ! Eventually I took it in my hand but it was in it's normal limp state and I couldn't wank it like that & I wondered why nothing was happening. Eventually I laid it against my body & started to massage it with the fingers of my hand and surprise surprise it started to swell. It got bigger and bigger, stiff and hard and I wanked for the second time. That taught me that you don't get a 'hard on'  without stimulation. Indeed I never woke up in the middle of the night with an erection ever again although like a lot of men I did occasionally wake up first thing in the morning with one. Needless to say I was wanking myself regularly after that even though I hadn't a clue what I was doing, what it was called nor what it meant. As I said at the beginning sex wasn't spoken about back then and even my best friend and I never mentioned it to each other. The only thing that did happen was that during the term at school after the summer break, one day a small group, probably no more than 7 to 8 of us, instead of going outside after dinner, went instead back to our classroom to catch up on some work. When we had finished one of the guy's asked if anyone else masturbated. Up until then I had never heard that word so didn't know what it meant. One of the others asked what masturbation was and the first guy said that it was when your cock went hard and you pulled it up and down. I had heard the expression 'Wanking' and had worked out what it was but this was the first time I had heard the word 'Masturbation' but now I knew exactly what it meant. No one admitted to doing it except me which was unusual because I was always shy & introverted at that age. The first guy congratulated me for being honest and that was the end of the conversation. I did think afterwards that as we were all 16 by then, that everyone must have been doing it but didn't want to admit to it as there was quite a lot of stigma around about masturbation then. Silly old wife's tale's that it would make you go blind and hairs would grow on the palms of your hands. If that was true I should have been walking around with a white stick looking like a werewolf !!

  I have masturbated for over 55 years now and still enjoy it immensely even though I now find it difficult and need some chemical assistance to get hard. The younger generations don't know how lucky they are these days when everything you want to know about anything is at the click of a mouse or the tap on a screen. I never had that luxury but maybe 'Learning on the job' is more fun and not so clinical !!
