I used to masturbate all the time when I was little, like 4-5. Would get completely naked, lay face down with my hands over my penis and stick my legs straight out and lift them up on an angle while moving my hands around. Back then I would always get caught, but back then I didn't attach any negative feelings to it. But my mom would always tell me to stop or something. Lol, I'd just do it on the floor in my room.
I have memories of when I was 10-ish of playing with myself like that in my bed before, breathing heavily. And since my room was rather close to my parents' room, my mom would always ask, "Why are you breathing so heavy?" and I'd calm down my breathing and say, "Nothing".
I'm 18 now. Only a few years ago did I develop the "jerking-off" method, and I eventually got used to it. Everything before that was the "Lying face down applying pressure to the penis" method.
Funny, my discovery of porn on the computer came before I was used to the "jerking off" method, so I'd try to lay down on a chair and bend upwards to look at the screen. Trying this now, it is such an awkward and inefficient way of masturbation.
I still do it the old way occasionally, although only in my bed. It's so much work though, and you have to position yourself just right so it doesn't hurt. Anybody else with similar experiences?
