the talk

[theawkwardteen]

Ok so recently i have started masturbating regularly (3-4 times a day). It got me curious to know if my dad masturbated and his take on it. We had the sex talk pretty early on and he said to talk to him if i have any questions about puberty or anything. My question is how do i bring masturbation up to him. He is pretty cool about everything but i am worried it will be awkward.

Advice??

How old are you?
Are you far into puberty?

[theawkwardteen]

Im 14 and what do you mean by how far

Dont ask him it will just be awkward.

of Corse tour dad will do what ever he needs to do to when he gets an urge but I don't think it is something you need to pry on it is rather a personal matter . if you do need to talk to him regarding sexual matters you could bring up that you have the urge to masturbate 3 or 4 times a day and did he also have the same urge at your age and when the 3or 4 times a day urge stoped for him and just take it from there .

I think it's a given that he masturbates (he likely still does). I'm not sure I could ask my dad about his habits specifically. I've talked to friends about it though and suggest you do the same. The only talk my dad and I have had about it was that it's normal, feels good, and all boys and grown men do it and to ensure that I have privacy and to keep clean. We didn't talk about how many times a day and stuff like that.

I know you said it might be awkward but if you're close with him and he told you that he's open to talking then I certainly recommend just asking him. I can almost guarantee that he did masturbate as much as you and possibly still does.

Just forget bout it-if he asks u questions and
u r cool bout it then answer him but I would
not start a conversation bout it-Listen he
masturbates too-its a thing that happens
but u don't make a big thing bout it.

I think talking to him about it will make you guys even close even if it will be awkward at first. Ask him and I'm sure he'll be truthful

[hockeyboy2000]

Just tell him you want to talk about something then just ask your question

i'm sure he will be understanding

[everlong]

If you think he'd be cool with it, go for it. Though I wouldn't ask him if he masturbates, I think that's his personal business.

my dad admitted he did it as a teen, but no way am i asking if he still does.

You said yourself that your Father is very cool about puberty talk, and I would just tell him that you have some questions about puberty and if it would be all right to talk about masturbation. Since he already has opened the door for you, then you should have no problem to have a discussion with him.

my father past away before i could have this talk with him and i totally regret never asking. maybe just ask him if he remembers telling you to ask him if you had any questions then lay it on him. judge by the awkwardness to determine how deep the conversation needs to go.

Yes, its going to be awkward for you no matter how you come at him about it because you will be talking about the things you do to make yourself feel good. The best way to bring it up to him is to just ask him if you can talk to him about something personal, this way he will know that he needs to make time for the two of you to be alone. Then just tell him what its about, and ask him. IF he is open to you, take advantage of that because a lot of dads dont take the time and really dont care.

I'd keep that a private matter if I were you, seeing how you're awkward about it

I've never gotten the sex talk from my dad. I'm guessing he probably figured I'd learn from my peers the way he probably did.
