Men's Health: What would you teach your son in regards to Masturbation ?
Hypothetically if you were dads and had sons...
Also if you have a REAL experience, by all means share it
Hmmm, if I were a dad and had a son . . .
I would first of all say it's perfectly normal and natural for him to be curious and explore that area of his body. I would also be sure to mention that it's a great form of pleasure and stress relief, and that most guys (and girls) masturbate.
I might say that it's common for guys to masturbate 2-3 times a day in their teen years, and that's fine and normal. But I'd caution against "too much of a good thing" - as too much could make things raw and sore. I'm not sure, but I may also tell him that while it feels good and many guys rush to the end, that he should try to make it last longer because it feels better and that it'll "train" him to be a partner later with sex.
I would make it clear that while I'm fine with him masturbating, even if I'm around, that he should generally be discrete and not do it in public as many people would find it offensive - just like how nudity isn't wrong, but people fine public nudity offensive.
Lastly I'd tell him to be careful to clean up all the mess he makes and to feel free to ask me any questions on his mind - no matter how stupid or embarrassing.
