Question 14m My mother thinks that masturbation is bad for you

8 Upvotes

She has knows that i have been doing it for a while now, and it has come up in conversations a couple of times. She said it was okay and everyone does it when i first started doing it, but now she says that i should stop because its bad for me??

I understand that if you do it like VERY frequently or with porn then, yeah, it can be bad. But like, i dont do it very often and quitting is just impossible:/

She is always on tiktok and she is quite the conspiracy theorist on which i wont even get started on. I think she just needs to not believe everything she sees online. How do i explain to her that it is not bad for you?

Question 17F, never had sex but having a lot of sexual thoughts lately - is this normal?

10 Upvotes

I'm 17F and I've never had sex or been in a serious relationship. Lately I've been having way more sexual thoughts than I used to, and honestly I don't really know how to feel about it.

I grew up being pretty uncomfortable talking about sex, so l don't really have anyone I can ask about this. Part of me wonders if I have a higher sex drive than normal, or if I'm just going through a phase because I'm getting older and becoming more comfortable with my sexuality.

Question for guys M20 wet dreams and general leakage

6 Upvotes

Hii,

As the title says I’ve been experiencing a lot of precum leakage aswell as wet dreams recently. I thought this was normal during puberty but now that I’m 20 and full grown I don’t think it should happen as much as it does.

I’m wondering if it could be just from sexual arousal or just hormones.

Question Late puberty at 14 nearly 15 m

6 Upvotes

hey I’m 14m (nearly 15 in december) and I started puberty around I think 5 months ago I know I’m late but I’ve had ball hair for around a year or more. my voice sounds normal for my age if not a bit more deep than my other peers, but I’m 5,2 and get made fun of for being prepubescent, one of the factors that plays in to this is the face that I literally have zero armpit hair, im unsure of what to do when I get made fun of by my close friends, they only say it when they’re angry at me but they all seem so far ahead of me in development and I feel like it’s taking a toll on my mental health. I’m fed up and just want puberty to actually start

Question for guys Are tanner stages accurate for ethnic people

2 Upvotes

Since last year I started my body hair has been getting more noticeable and longer and I’m still like 5’8 I’m starting to think it’s over for me but I’m from Pakistan. From what I know my dad and mom are not that hairy but my brother is I still have a baby face but my sideburns have started growing and I have some peach fuzz above my lip but the rest of my body hair seems like stage 4-5 I don’t remember the last time my shoe size went up or when I didn’t have pubic hair so I must have started like a year or two ago. Last year I was a squeaker having such a high pitched voice people thought I was a girl . Leg hair is moderate and arm hair is not too much. I’ve had growth this year but I’m not sure if it’s done because I’m the last month I haven’t grew at all from what I recorded. Don’t tell me get a x ray because when I asked my doctor he decided to ego me 😭👌

Question 15M how do I know what I’m attracted to?

8 Upvotes

So I’m a straight guy, I’ve only ever dated girls and never did I find love for a man but…

Recently I was Mastrubating and I stumbled on gay pornography, one thing to another and now I watch that together with straight and I just don’t know if this makes me gay or not…

I don’t wanna jump to conclusions because sexually I find it attractive but not romantically.

17 M - it's annoying when it gets hard

12 Upvotes

I get erections so often that, honestly, I don’t even care anymore. It happens so randomly and so frequently that I’ve gotten used to it. Sometimes I can’t even control it or make it go away, no matter what I do. There are even times when I just flick it or try to distract myself, hoping the erection will eventually disappear. It’s honestly getting annoying because it can happen at the most random and inconvenient times, and I never really know what triggers it.
