I figured out how to jack off all by myself, but later on I gave an inquisitive younger boy a demonstration, which resulted in his brothers holding me down and banding me. Although it scared the crap out of me, it also sparked an interest in castration as punishment.

My education in high school hit the perfect timing.

Before they changed the curriculum regarding sex education, it would have left me more confused than when I'd started the class. If you want to call it "sex education", it mainly consisted of overall hygiene lessons about how to shower, brush teeth, use deodorant, etc. What little education regarding sex was done by proxy - teaching about how mammals procreated. I guess students were supposed to figure out that if every other mammal reproduced via intercourse, so did humans.

However, by the time I go to high school, the thinking was that a direct approach was better. It was an 8-week class - my school system had moved from six semesters of 6-weeks to 4 quadmesters of 8 weeks each. The class was just a part of the biology program. All classes were 4 quadmesters each and so, this was just a segment of a class that lasted a year.

The quadmester for the biology class was all males. My favorite memory of the class was the teacher telling us that he would make every student put their tongue in their cheek and move it around before the class was over. He demonstrated this by putting his tongue in his cheek and we could all see him move it around. Later in the class, he said that the inside of the vagina was a mucus membrane with a texture very similar to the cheek inside the mouth. Exactly as predicted every student in the class put their tongue in their mouth and moved it around on their cheek.

No topic about reproduction was off-limits. It was all kept very scientific and the use of slang terms was frowned upon. When the topic of masturbation came up, I think every student had been doing it for quite some time. This was our sophomore year of high school and by then nature had taken its course. Even though masturbation was explained, I don't remember there being any questions.

For myself, I had three brothers and none of us ever talked about it to each other.

I remember like it was yesterday exactly how I ejaculated the first time - long before the sex education class in high school.

I'd been getting erections for a while and found touching my hard dick to be pleasurable. Being circumcised at birth, I could not move the skin over my glans and had taken to a gentle rubbing up and down because it felt good.

I had no idea there was more than rubbing my dick to because it felt good. Around my first year of middle school (7th grade and 13 years old), my first ejaculation and orgasm happened. I wasn't doing anything different - just rubbing my dick. My circumcision is high and loose. So, I could move the skin. I wasn't using lube

I remember everything in my cock and balls tightened up - my balls pulled up and my scrotum tightened. My cock seemed to get firmer. I had no idea what was going to happen next. Without warning (other than everything getter tighter and firmer), I shot a load over my head. I thought I had pee'd. Yet, no pee had ever felt that good.

I am very serious, that I looked for the semen (although I didn't know what it was called) on the wall behind my bed and all over my sheets and pillows. I couldn't find it. For all I know, it went into orbit. I've read other guys' descriptions of their first ejaculation that said it was watery and thinner than normal semen. I have no idea what it looked like because I never found it.

I was afraid to do it again right away because I didn't want to pee in the bed again. However, if felt so good that I did it again in about a week. After jerking off (I did not know that is what it was called) for a while, I started to squirt onto my chest and belly and figured out it wasn't pee.

A few trips to the public library and I figured out what it was. I also figured out that it was masturbation and that it was quite normal. I never checked the books out of the library, I just read them at the tables in the library. One book said there were two kinds of men - those that admit to masturbating and liars. I could not figure out why anyone would not want to do something that felt so good.

I am number two out of four boys and never talked about jerking off to my younger brothers as my older brother never discussed it with me. I am not sure it would have been better if I'd had my brother or another older guy tell me about it. Most likely, they wouldn't have known as much as I was able to figure out from reading at the library. I ended up realizing it was normal and I didn't need to feel ashamed by it - but, I did keep it a secret.

Oddly, you can tell a guy's age group by how he masturbates. In my generation, it was common to clan up with a gym shirt and to jerk off with the dominant hand.

Today, it is very common for men to jerk off with their non-dominate hand. This is true because they use their dominant hand to use the computer mouse. Also, they avoid the clean up by jerking off into a gym sock.

If Craig, Andy and I had all been nullified life would've been much simpler.
