    Hey lads,

    I was gonna post this Anon but I couldn't be bothered really.

    I just wanted to ask, do ye think proper masturbation technique should be taught as part of sex education?

    I have a few reasons, why I am asking and why I started the thread.

    I have a terrible technique myself, which I can't change, whereby I choke the chicken too hard, This makes Oral on me a pain, because I literally Can't cum if I am getting a BJ, there isn't enough pressure so eventually I just go numb.

    Proper technique can reduce the risk and even get rid of Phimosis, especially if implemented in younger males who are just starting puberty and about to discover Masturbation.

    A really ****ty masturbation technique can make sex a real pain, especially when trying the first few times. I failed more than once because I just wasn't hard enough, I think this could be related to the fact that I don't need to be rock hard to Masturbate. The first time I succeeded was because it had been a few days since my last!

    So just food for thought really, should Proper technique be taught to kids?

    I think its ridiculas. to even come up with that sort of question.
    To be honest i dont bye the hole should knocking one of be taught to kids personally id feel even sorry for the poor person who'd have to talk about it because no teen would be able to contain any amount of composher so its really very, silly...

    men young and old use masterbation as a satusfaction tactic.
    if your unsatisfied with in your life you start playing with your self more to seek satisfaction.

    there is no harm in masterbation but doing it to much there is. As for not being able to cum during blow jobs or sex... that could be down to desenstising your self which is possiblely from to much masterbation. Things like irectile dissfunction could be a problem in the future.

    also if you liek a perticualr type of porn and find your self going into more stranger stuff can't help either....


    But then again it could be down to the for skin not being fulkly back and many other things or putting to much preasure on your self and not sitting back and enjoying it...

    What is a proper technique?

    Everyone is different so what works for one might not neccessarily work for another and if adolescents are being told in school "this is how you do it" and it doesnt work for them,then this will inevitibly lead to thoughts of "OMG my wang doesnt work!!!!!"

    Its something that should be discovered for yourself.

    I phrased it badly TBH, I didn't mean technique, just advice on it really.

    Things like "Don't Choke the life out of it...." Don't hammer to the fastest finish. That sort of thing.

    Surely one varies how they masturbate depending on their mood etc. ?

    Doesn't really seem like something someone would need advice on tbh...

    Nevermind about technique....we need the sex education people to first of all start telling young people it's actually OK to experiment with oneself! That it's perfectly normal and fire away!

    Saying that I was in a Catholic school so their hands were tied and the teacher couldn't say anything for fear of loosing her job or getting into serious bother.

    No.

    Tbh, just stop doing it if you think it's doing you no good.


  • Registered Users Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    We have mostly Catholic schools, and in Catholicism its considered a sin to touch yourself








    thats why the priests do it for you!

    bah-dum-tsh!

    Really though, i didnt think there was a specific technique, whatever works really, though getting a blowjob and knocking one off yourself arent the same, likewise for women going down on them and using a vibrator will proabably yield different results


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,385 ✭✭✭Jemmy


    Here kids let me show you how it's done! :rolleyes:

    Why don't you show them how not to do it then? :p





    FFS Minidazzler what a question, here's some advice...


    loosen the grip then! ;)

    Tbh, I think your penis going numb while receiving oral might be something to get looked at? It dosn't sound too right at all at all.
    I just wanted to ask, do ye think proper masturbation technique should be taught as part of sex education?

    No. Why?

    A) Somebody has to do it. It's a horrible task, which would induce a lot of stress on a teacher, which is something that isn't needed. And even if it was done via video*, there's still going to be questions asked. I don't think teachers would be too happy telling somebody how to touch themselves.
    Things like "Don't Choke the life out of it...." Don't hammer to the fastest finish. That sort of thing.
    I don't think it's any teachers place to tell kids that.

    B) Following on from that, people are different, people find out for themselves, what works for one might never work for another. It'd introduce more pressures to the students that 'they're not right' - puberty is hard enough without kids thinking they're even more messed up.

    Let it happen themselves, people have been figuring out how to get their jollies for the past 2,000+ years, and I'm sure they can figure it out for the next 2,000 years.
    Nevermind about technique....we need the sex education people to first of all start telling young people it's actually OK to experiment with oneself! That it's perfectly normal and fire away!

    They've started a campaign like this in the UK, to the best of my knowledge. Afair, the slogan is "An Orgasm a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" - Although I'm not fully sure... And don't really want to Google it - God only knows what fetish's will pop up.
    A really ****ty masturbation technique can make sex a real pain, especially when trying the first few times. I failed more than once because I just wasn't hard enough, I think this could be related to the fact that I don't need to be rock hard to Masturbate. The first time I succeeded was because it had been a few days since my last!
    Again, I don't think this is down to your masterbation, it's most likely to do with you being under pressure to perform. I wouldn't blame **** and try find out what the real problem is.

    A million billion times no. Sexual health education in school, yes, and lots of it -morals, ethics, and pleasure is parental territory.

    Absolutly no way a teacher should be showing kids how to masturbate - what an utter minefield that would be. So incredibly inappropriate.

    At the age young boys start, telling them masturbation can decrease sensitivity would scare the shlte out of them too. They wouldn't understand. They'd be scared to touch themselves at all, and there's enough Catholic guilt floating about as it is. Once you're old enough to make the connection - and mini, you're only 21 ffs - you can set about retraining yourself.

    alright lads, alright, calm down :D

    I really think this'd be better in sex & sexuality, but I guess most of you won't be able to see it.

    so I'll just post this for MD::

    and if any of the other mods want to re-open the thread, that's cool.

    feck it, will leave it open for a wee while, but other mods may still lock it.

    I have never got this whole sex ed in school thing anyway.

    What gives a teacher expertise in this?


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Admittedly I didn't exactly think this through very much. I still think it would be a good idea, but it would obviously have to be handled carefully.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    When we were given sex education in 6th class I think it was, masturbation wasn't mentioned at all.

    Sex education is education about sex and not personal satisfaction.

    There's no right way to tell somebody how to pleasure themselves. There's no right way. I'm sure there's various techniques some people have themselves.

    It may not be the proper technique but there may be a popular method. Nobody should have a lecture in sex education about how they should be doing something.

    One person might give advice based on what they do whereas another person could be completely different.

    I'm sure nobody has ever told you how to walk or eat OP. Same with masturbation.

    I think it's more common now to have an outsider coming in rather than a normal teacher.

    This way people may have questions they want to ask and can feel more comfortable asking a stranger rather than their teacher who they see every day.

    My memories of Sex Ed in school was a little like stand comedy with well mannered hecklers.

    I still cringe for the teachers involved - I marvel at how badly these things are handled.

    My class were given sex education in 2nd year in secondary. All I remember from it was the teacher saying that "stimulating yourself is selfish and makes you a bad lover."

    When we were given sex ed in first year, someone asked the teacher about masturbation (Probably as a result of a dare I think)
    The teacher's response "Eh...yeah...it's OK...but, it's a bit desperate."


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,914 ✭✭✭✭tbh


    sex education in my school involved mucus, thermometers and more maths than necessary.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie

    I know. There were some of my teachers in school who i would have loved to get practical lessons from.

    He he.

    Anyways Mini, I know what ya mean. I used to be like that. Like trying to get to the finish line as quick as possible. But that lead to similar problems (Not as bad though) So i changed my ways. Now it's just, go with the flow. Nice and relaxed.

    As for the Sex Ed thing, it'd be awkward on a teacher. But it woulda been a lesson worth learning for most lads.

    I think that sex education should be done through project work as well as maybe explained bye sex theripists that kinda thing.

    Not bye a teacher. teachers have the inherent ability to teach while kids want to learn.

    I thanked this even though it really scared me :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,649 ✭✭✭✭CDfm


    If I was a sex ed teacher - i would bring the kids to a farm to watch cows and calves born or to a puppy farm.

    Lesson 2 would involve a visit to a maternity unit.

    Lesson 3 would be getting young mothers with babies into class doing the nappy changing thing and pass the dirtry nappies around the class

    then i would give them a leaflet to bring home to their Ma's to get her to sign that she had explained condom use with them using a brush handle and to sign and send back.

    There would be now giggles in my class:D
