Sexuality and parents

Hey, im 16 and I mas*urba*e but I haven't yet managed to talk about it to my parents. As I come from a pretty conservative family im afraid that they might despise me if I ask them (I know that sounds immature)

What do I do? Thanks

There is no reason that you should have to talk to your parents about you mas*erb*ting. It's a perfectly normal and healthy thing that everyone does. Also, your parents have no right to know about it either, it's a very private thing that you should keep to yourself.

You don't have to talk to them about mas*urbat*on, it may seem uncomfortable.
But it is nice to talk to them about sex. they will tell you all you need to know.
for mas*urbat*on be creative, everyone is differant so you have to find out what best suits you and feels good for you.
try finding a website about it that can teach you how to feel pleasure on your own.
some people finger them selves while others rubs them selves down there.
some use toys, brush tips, toothbrushes, or stuffed animals even.
find what best feels good for you.

yeah but Im afraid sooner or later they are going to walk in on me doing you-know-what

emphasis: I dont think mas*urbat*on is a prob, but my family is sexually very conservative

Make sure you door is always locked before you mas*erba*e. Also, stay underneath the covers or something.
Your parents have no right to know about you mas*erb*ting. It's none of their business. No matter how conservative they are.

"Make sure you door is always locked before you mas*erba*e"

everytime my mum discovers that I lock the door she bangs on it repeatedly until I oblige to open it. You have no idea how fierce she becomes when she does that, so thats a prob

"Your parents have no right to know about you mas*erb*ting. It's none of their business. No matter how conservative they are."

They seem to think so, judging from the way they like to control (sorry ,I dont have a better word) what I do

I understand they want to control what you do, but you still dont have to tell them about it. There are some things that you SHOULD keep from you parents, masterbation is one of them. They have no right to know. Period.
If they do that when you lock your door, mas*erba*e when you go to take a shower or a bath, shurly they will not suspect anything, since most people lock the door when they shower anyways.
Wait until they are asleep even, late at night, when they think your asleep.
There are ways to get around that.

Just so you know, every guy mas*erba*es. When we hit puberty, testosterone starts flooding our system and one of the things it does is signal to testes to produce sperm. Millions upon millions of them. They are going to get out of the body either by us mas*erba*ing or by wet dreams (nocturnal emissions) - or when you get older of course through sex. It is biology.

It's unfortunate that you are freaking about being caught, but it is a private thing, so that fear helps to keep it private.
Good Luck!!

Why would you tell them?? If they catch you then they'll get over it every dude does it, basically...and get a girl.

exactly mas*erba*ing is a totally normal thing to do. just try and talk to your parents and if they get upset then just try and tell them, but you might want and try and hide that problem for now. you and your parents shoulod talk more about sex though you might feel a little acuard but just try it. you shouldn't feel embarressed just try and talk to them but in the mean time try to hide that issue.

You don't need to talk to your parents about it. I did not and none of my friends did either,many many moons ago. Flush the toilet paper. And believe me they already know and it does not bother them. I have 4 grown boys of my own. And they did not talk to me or their mom. And they didn't have too. Your parents respect your privacy.

I just remember as a kid the Catholic religion always made us feel guilty. I think that is what you are feeling.

dude, why would you talk to your parents about that?
