How to tell your parents?

[Jonathan M.]

K so i just actually started masterbating and the reason i started is actually cause of my Dad.You see made a not so little joke to me here it is...

After dinner i was still on the pc so my dad asked"are you still on the Pc?
I called out"Yes I'll go GET off.
He yells out to much information.
and since i wasn't even masterdating then i got a little mad and it went on.
but then the other day my dad had a "talk"with me and it was about responsibility and he said "soon you"ll be hitting puberty"so im thinkin oh SH-- he doesnt know?

So the question is do they know should i tell them or just leave it be?

There's no reason to tell them. Masturbation is a very normal, very private thing.
Chances are they already know. Your dad was a boy your age once too, who masturbated. He may even still masturbate now.
They don't need to be told, and it spares you a lot of embarrassment.

No need to tell him. It's not usually openly discussed between parents and children. Besides, it's not NECESSARY that he knows and sooner or later, it'll be assumed :)

You'd be naive to think your dad doesn't know or even is suspicious about it. But honestly he probably does it or at least used to do it to so it's not to big a deal tbh. But no need to tell them because that's well well, your business.

Yea i have to admit now that i think bout it that was wall...a no brainervwell this threads pretty much over thnx all!I wasnt really sure if thhats something they should no or not.

I agree. There is no need to tell them.

yea i pretty much get dat its just that if i want anything like lube i'd pretty much have to ask for it :(

Dont worry. Your dad knows. He knows that if your not masturbating yet then you will be soon. This isnt something that kids talk to their parents about unless you are very close to them and discuss very personal stuff like this. Theres no reason why you should talk about this with them at all.

i have been masterbation for 3 year and i haven't told any of my family i have just told my friends there is realy no need to tell him he has probibly all ready assumed that u do it any way :)

I wouldnt want to talk to my dad about it, I'd find it much more embarassing to ask him to buy lube for me than it is just to get it at the checkout myself.
