My wife was saying don’t just let him play with himself(about our two year old) if he gets into that habit it will follow him his whole life even as a teen.
And I was like hon there ain’t nothing that is gonna stop him from jerking off as a teen.
This apparently shocked her. I was like what you’ve never raised a boy? She is like I raised my niece and she wasn’t playing with herself. I was like uh jerking off is pretty much a bodily function for a teen boy.
I told her the best thing would be to learn to knock, make a lot of noise from moving room to room and give him his own laptop and not check the router logs.
It isn’t per se, she just feels like he won’t learn discretion so your best bet is to distract him and get his mind on other stuff. She isn’t religious or thinks its a sin or anything.
She was like so you jerked off all the time as a teen, yup. You looked at porn all the time, yup. I was like shit I had to grab .mpgs and .avis off Kazaa or whatever, now they got xtube and such. I was like you didn’t? She is like well of course but not daily, I was like well boys and girls(or some girls) are different.
truth. Girls just don’t generally make a mess when they do it, so it is possible for us to be more discrete. Poor guys tend to be more obvious because of anatomy. Thems the breaks.
Oh she knows it, and admits to it herself, she just doubted my estimate of daily.
“So you think he is going to be doing this every day?”
“Oh yea”
“DAILY?!”
“Yep, he’ll probably eventually settle into a every two to three day pattern”
“:eek:”
Heh its like those statistics you see where like 90% of men will admit to masturbating, I’m like the other 10% are either liars or have been real good at getting laid from age 11.
I totally expect that boys will play with their junk (and I know from experience that girls will too). What surprised me is that it starts in infancy! Take the diaper off of my nine-month-old, and Bam! Hands on his junk. It’s kind of awkward, because I’m sure that a good old-fashioned ball-scratching is one of life’s purest pleasures, but at the same time I don’t really want to stand around waiting for him to finish, you know?
She had known a couple of people that had a boy who was older than a toddler and had not learned “discretion” to the point it was annoying. Like a six year old playing pocket pool at a funeral.
Her theory was it was just a habit they let the kid get into and if you didn’t let them get used to it you wouldn’t have to deal with an older kid doing it in public. I was like that is a mistaken assumption.
Reminds me of the movie bridesmaids when that lady was saying, “I have three teenage boys. There is semen EVERYWHERE in my house. I picked up a towel the other day; snapped it in half. IN HALF.”
So yeah, it’s definitely true. Teenage boys jizz everywhere, no exceptions.
Well, she might have a point about the “in public” thing.
Otherwise, I doubt that there’s much connection between what he is doing now and what he will do as a teen. I can remember discovering it at the start of my teens, after which I couldn’t really stop. (Not so bad as a friend of mine, though, who told me he had rubbed it raw and bleeding.) I did not connect it with anything I had done when younger, and I don’t remember doing anything like it when younger. I mean, I am sure I must have touched my penis sometimes, but it wasn’t sexy or compulsive back then.
Tell her that some teens do it 2 or 3 times a day . . . and that this behavior will continue at least until he’s 67 years, 6 months and 3 weeks old (as of today). And tell her that this is true, even if he’s in a loving long-term relationship with a great sex life.
I remember camping with a bunch of friends one man brought his seven year old son along. It was the middle of the day we we’re sitting around the fire pit having a couple of beers. His son was playing along the water. All of a sudden his son marches through “I’m going to play in the tent now” Five minutes of silence from the tent, the tent unzips kid steps out lets out a big sigh then some sort of yodel grabs his stick and runs off.
My buddy " did he just rub one out in there ?" we all break out laughing.
