I think maturbation’s a part of our sexual experiences that we don’t often talk about. It’s either considered too “depraved”, “selfish” or “dirty” (but then again those are all the things gay guys love, hehe). Masturbation week, and honest articles like this, are crucial to education, creating an open culture surrounding sex and breaking down taboos.

have you heard of Christianity-related guilt over masturbating? i suppose that’s where the moralistic conditioning straights are subjected to comes from __ at least in the West and Africa. and you know what? gays aren’t immune to that either. i know for the longest time and during a time when all any normal teenage boy wants to do is jerk off, i’d feel bad over masturbating because i was told god didn’t approve. thank god i grew out of that.

god made me do it. I had the same experience for a very long time. Masturbation was always guilt-ridden, especially since it involved fantasies with guys (and I was still convincing myself that I was straight).

I really am glad I grew out of it too!
