Well, I’ll start with a little bit of context – I’m a 21 year old gay male and have been exploring my sexual identity for a few years now. I recently came across the topic of male masturbation and I thought I’d share my experience with it.
First of all, masturbation for anyone can be a daunting experience if you’re not sure of it yet—especially as a gay male. I was hesitant to start exploring it, unsure of what to expect, but I soon learnt that it was a really interesting and fulfilling experience.
I found that the best way for me to start was to think of it as an exploration and have fun with it. I started to experiment with different touches, strokes, and sex toys, learning how different techniques felt for me. I soon realized that the pleasure derived from exploring and experimenting was unparalleled.
What I found really interesting however was that when I did these exercises I didn’t feel guilty or ashamed afterwards, like I thought I would. This was a huge surprise because we are often taught that masturbation is a dirty practice.
I began to realize that this was actually something I could be proud of, something which helped me to love and accept myself in all parts of my life. I was discovering parts of my own sexuality, becoming more confident in my own body, and enjoying new experiences.
Although I often feel today’s society is behind the times when it comes to sex dolls, I think it’s important to start having more frank conversations about male masturbation. We need to create a safe space to be able to talk about our own experiences without shame or guilt.
I’ve noticed that many gay men continue to think masturbation is something wrong, but I believe it should be celebrated for being so inclusive and normal. It’s not something to be scared of, it should be an opportunity to practice self-love and exploration.
I find that communicating openly and honestly with partners can also be a great benefit. It’s a great way to get to know each other better and to be more intimate. We should also understand that masturbation doesn’t replace physical intimacy with a partner, as it can be done as an intimate practice when done together.
Overall, male masturbation is something I’d recommend every gay male to experience and explore, especially since it helps us understand our own sexuality. It gave me a newfound appreciation for my body, and I found it to be incredibly freeing and fulfilling.
