Understanding Masturbation

Masturbation is a normal and natural way for males to explore their own bodies and learn about their sexual feelings. If you're 16, it's important to approach this privately and safely.

Techniques for Masturbation

  • Find a private, comfortable space where you can relax without interruptions.
  • Use your hand to gently stroke the shaft of your penis, starting slowly. You can vary the speed and pressure based on what feels comfortable for you.
  • Some guys find it helpful to use a bit of lubricant, like water-based lotion or saliva, to reduce friction and enhance sensation.

How to Masturbate Discreetly and Avoid Getting Caught

  • Choose a time when you are sure you won’t be disturbed, such as when family members or roommates are out or busy.
  • Use a private room with a lock or one where people respect your privacy.
  • Keep noise level low by masturbating when the house is noisy or use some quiet music or a fan to mask any sounds.
  • Wash your hands before and after to avoid leaving evidence like scent or residue.

Understanding Ejaculation

When you reach orgasm, your body will release semen, sometimes called 'ejaculation'. This fluid is normal and minimal in quantity.

Cleaning Up After Masturbation

  • Keep tissues or cloth nearby to catch any semen. A tissue or towel can be used to clean yourself immediately after.
  • Wash your genital area gently with warm water and mild soap to stay clean.
  • Dispose of any used tissues properly in the trash to avoid detection.
  • Wash your hands thoroughly after cleaning up to maintain good hygiene.

Remember, masturbation is a personal and private activity. Practicing discretion, maintaining cleanliness, and understanding your body will help you feel comfortable and confident. If you ever have questions or concerns about your sexual health, consider speaking with a trusted adult or healthcare professional.
