		<description>I'm so glad I found your column. I'm a single father with an 18 yr. old daughter. I heard her bed making a familiar sound the other night so although I never imagined girls masturbate as much as boys at that age I can't deny it any longer.
I had another question. I'm so glad you mentioned people may masturbate in the crib because when I used to change my daughter's diapers and you know look at her hoo ha and what not I could have sworn she would slam her knees together! I thought it was modesty but she'd open them again right away and even 'assume the tush cleaning position'. I thought I was nuts.
I'm so glad for this chance to get this off my chest. Whew!
I brought myself to orgasm when I was twelve with my best friend, btw.</description>

		<description>First masturbated when I was 11. Achieved orgasm, but no ejaculation. Masturbated most days after the first time. Started to ejaculate a little clear liquid after a few months. Quantity of liquid quickly increased and liquid became milky. Had access to an old microscope and looked at my semen sometime a few months before 13th birthday. Lots of live sperm. Quite a weird feeling looking at them wriggling about.

Orgasms were gentler before I started ejaculating, like waves of intense pleasure washing over me, with centres of pleasure in my feet, thighs, chest and stomach. After I started ejaculating my orgasms became more intense and centred around the groin.

Muliple orgasms were possible before I started ejaculating. Impossible afterwards.

Not sure about when I've been most frequent. Maybe late teens: three times a day max. Usually once. I'm 45 and I still have quite an appetite sometimes. It varies. In spring and summer I'm pretty horny.</description>

		<description>@ above comment by "nookie":
&lt;blockquote&gt;my leader did all of us to show us how to do it&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It's one thing for girls to experiment with &lt;i&gt;each other&lt;/i&gt; but for a girl scout &lt;i&gt;leader&lt;/i&gt;, i.e., an &lt;i&gt;adult&lt;/i&gt;, to do what you described is not acceptable. If there is any way you could still report this woman, I would urge you to consider doing so.</description>

		<description>Fortunately, I can pinpoint the weeks before and after my 14th birthday quite clearly.

Up to that time I had 'played', but never all the way to orgasm.  I had just arrived at a new boarding school,  and a new friend in my class began talking to me about sex,  and he asked if I had had a wet dream.  I relied in the negative and he suggested that when it happened i should tell him.

The wet dream happened soon after when the conversation was still fresh in my mind. I told my friend of it, and he said to me that "I would now start pulling myself". Sure enough within days I had this extreme urge to play with my erect penis in the top bunk in my dormitory. I knew instinctively what I had to do and I gave NO thought to the shaking bed the boy in the lower bunk must have noticed.

They were my first of many 1000s of ejaculations (coitus and masturbation) over the past 58 years of wonderful sexuality.

My most frequent time was at about 16, when I realised that I was masturbating 3 times a day on average, and the thought of it going to 4 and 5 or more scared me. I literally knelt down beside my bed and prayed for help in getting it down to 1 per day - FAILED!!!

I did not gain  any control over the frequency until I was over 19.

At 72, I still masturbate about every 4 to 6 days, in bed, in the shower, or at the computer with XXX, it keeps me sane!</description>

		<description>I think my first orgasm was in Girl Scouts.  No boys or dads are allowed so my leader taught us that it is not lesbian if there is no choice but girls.  Everyone got naked wearing a long tshirt too sleep in and my leader did all of us to show us how to do it that night.  We stayed up I think until 2 doing each other because it not being lesbian if there is no other choice than girls.</description>

		<description>My first orgasm was a few months before I turned 5 - just after I started Kindergarten.

I had noticed that my penis would get really hard sometimes, but I didn't know why. One time, I decided to touch it. That felt really good, so I touched myself some more. A few more seconds of this felt so good - I could hardly stand it. I stopped, but the feeling got even stronger, and a few seconds later, I had my first orgasm!. It was extremely intense. I screamed and almost passed out! My whole body jerked so hard, I nearly fell out of my bed! I had no idea what had just happened to me, but I knew that I wanted to feel it again. I started touching my penis some more. I experienced my second orgasm just a few seconds later! Again, it was so intense that I nearly fell out of the bed! But....it felt so, so good! I brought myself to orgasm 10 times that day! From that point on, I masturbated to orgasm around 4-5 times a day throughout my childhood. Back then, I could bring myself to orgasm quickly - 1 or 2 minutes at most. My orgasms were usually very, very intense. When I was in 1st grade, I learned from my best friend that I wasn't the only one who had these "special feelings". (Until then, I had thought that maybe I was the only one.) Throughout my childhood and adolescence, I remained very interested in masturbation and enjoyed experimenting with various techniques. I often experimented with delaying &amp; prolonging my orgasms. I also tried to 'think' my way to orgasm many, many times. I was only able to do that once - when I was about 12.

My first clear ejaculation was when I was around 11, and about a year later, I had my first 'milky' ejaculation. I continued to masturbate to orgasm at least once or twice per day throughout my adolescence and early adulthood. For me, the intensity of orgasm was greatest before I reached puberty. They're still great - just not the 'knock-me-off-the-bed' orgasms I had during my childhood years. 

I'm now in my 50s. I still masturbate around 4 to 8 times a week. As a supplement to orgasm via intercourse, my partner I &amp; often bring each other to orgasm via mutual masturbation. She had her first orgasm when she was 9. It was 'accidental' - it happened while she was riding her bike. She tried to masturbate to orgasm after that, but couldn't bring herself to orgasm until she was 18.

My most active period of masturbation was from age 4.5 through age 13. 

1) When I was young, I could usually bring myself to orgasm in just a minute or two.

2) My orgasms were very, very intense before puberty.

3) Consecutive orgasms were common for me back then. I could nearly always achieve a second orgasm &amp; sometimes a third - simply by continuing to masturbate for couple minutes or so after the first one. My 2nd &amp; 3rd consecutive orgasms felt great, but were usually less intense than the first one.

4) As I approached puberty, I seemed to gradually lose the ability to achieve successive orgasms. I found that I usually had to wait for my erection to subside before I could orgasm again. When I did manage two in a row, the second one didn't feel anywhere near as good as when I was younger.

5) I noticed that as I got older, it took more time for me to reach orgasm via self-masturbation. By the time I was in high-school, it usually took 5-15 minutes - about the same as it takes nowadays.

These are the reasons why my I masturbated much more often when I was younger. 

Summary:

First self-induced orgasm: age 4 1/2
First clear ejaculation: age 11
First 'milky' ejaculation: age 12
First pubic hair: age 13
Most active period of masturbation: age 4.5-13</description>

		<description>I started a age 7 and I orgasmed without ejaculation.

Ejaculation started at age 13. First it was a little but quickly developed to full potential.

Was most frequent from 13-17 when I sometimes did it up to 5 times per day.
I also loved the stop start method and was able to carry on for hours.</description>

		<description>The first time I can remember masturbting to orgasm was 5th grade. I must have been 9 and did not ejaculate yet. I felt like I was in a daze and staring ahead. Sometimes I was caught in the act and told to stop it. This was usually when I had to go to urinate but did not want to miss my favorite show ending. Doing so would feel great and I could wait for the next break in the program.</description>
