I started masturbating at about age 3-5. i can not remember ever NOT masturbating. didn't know what it was til i was 11, but i did it all the same. and long before i knew what it was, i knew it should be hidden. I got caught at about age 5 and made up all sorts of stuff about what i was doing. no one ever told me not to touch myself, i just "knew" i shouldn't let anyone know.
but i have always been very secretive from my parents. i don't tell tham ANYTHING. i am 21 now--i haven't told them i am queer (i have known for 7 years), I am having sex (5 years), or that i am engaged (3 months).
I don't feel any personal guilt about masturbating, and i don't try to hide the fact that i do from friends, but i would NEVER talk to my parents about it.
I was raised in a non-religious home, but also a non-share-y home.
