masturbate
I picture Adam as being a healthy 20 year old male. Maybe you think he’s younger? 16? I don’t know but he never went through puberty. He was just born an adult.
There are no women around. None. No photos of women. No memories of women.
Would he masturbate? Would he even get an erection?
Maybe he was bisexual.
Before God decided to make humans of two sexes, He made Adam get excited and satisfied by playing with technology and science. For some guys, this is still the default interest. Which explains nerds.
He didn’t wear clothing and I assume the wind blew on occasion…of course he’d figure it out.
No, he was pure and unspoiled by testosterone poisoning. He took pleasure in the beauty around him and that was enough.
Seriously.
The real question is did he have a penis before Eve? Remember, there’s that story about God making some changes to him while he slept and something about a bone. Could be that until there was a use for it, God hadn’t supplied the organ.
My guess is that seraphim flew down and gave him blow jobs whenever he wanted them.
Do you think Adam would have to think of a woman to masturbate? Hell, there were stretches during my adolescence where I could successfully masturbate with no more stimulation than having a pulse!
Biblically, probably not. Knowledge of sex and nudity and all things Dirty seems to have popped into their heads the moment they ate of the Fruit.
Biologically, I’m certain he did*. Infant boys begin to fondle their genitals in the womb, and it doesn’t take them long to figure out it feels good and keep doing it. Toddlers of both genders masturbate with and within their diapers. No developed concept of sexuality needed.
*Y’know, in a not fighting the hypothetical sense. I’m not a literal believer in the myth.
This. Theologically I expect he’d have just sat around contemplating how awesome God was.
Oh, and the animals probably didn’t have sex either.
If he was watching the animals…how long till he figured out sheep? If the ram has that much fun…
No. Too busy naming all the damn animals, which leads us to the obvious beastiality question. 
Assuming a version of the story where he had longer than a day to wait, then, yes. I don’t know of anyone who figured it out because they were looking at women nor because they saw animals doing things. You play with yourself, realize it feels good, and continue doing it until something happens. No extra thoughts are required the first time.
And, yes, as I posted before, I learned about the subject first in a book. That was just because I was incredibly young when I read said book. I’d have figured it out eventually, just like nearly everyone else. I only mentioned it because I sometimes like to point out the weird things in my life. At the time, I had forgotten that this place doesn’t celebrate weirdness like most intellectual groups I am acquainted with.
So - no genitals before they ate The Fruit? Or non-working genitals until they ate The Fruit. Obviously nothing worth covering up before . . .
You know, if you say Ate The Fruit too many times it starts to sound like a euphemism.
I believe the story is that they were innocent as children - or rather, as innocent as people would like to believe children are. So while Adam had a penis, he didn’t have sexual urges, nor was he “ashamed” of his nakedness, until he ate the Fruit of the Tree.
3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Way back in my Theology 101 days, the priest who taught the class affirmed that “naked” pretty much means not only physical nakedness, but all that other Naughty Sex Stuff, as well. He was Jesuit, if it matters. (He also didn’t appreciate it when I pointed out that God lied and the serpent was telling the truth; they didn’t die when they touched the fruit. He offered some retcon about “spiritual death”, and then I was invited to find an elsewhere to be. :rolleyes:)
I’m sure some feminist or Thealogianhas offered a theory that “the fruit” was Eve’s vulva and when Adam ate of it…well, you know the rest. 
This.
Imagining Barbara Eden ripping off her Jeannie costume and having a naked pillow fight with Ginger and Mary Ann came later.
I think that God and the angels were taking bets on which animal he would try first.
Sheep even odds
Chicken 2 to 1
Shetland Pony 5 to 1
Box Turtle 100 to 1 (You know some weirdo Cherubim would bet on box turtle)
Of course Adam would sooner or later see the monkeys and maybe…
I don’t recall masturbating without imagining some woman.
I’ve see creationists argue that Tyrannosaurs only ate vegetation before the Fall; thinking that Adam didn’t rub his penis is a smaller leap of faith than that.
In this theory, how was Adam urinating?
ETA: Or could that have come later, too? (Serious comment. I’m no Biblical scholar).
