reader, anonymous, writes (19 March 2008): Im 12 and have been masturbating for a few years its perfectly normal and you did it when you were younger and he is normal and shouldn't be in trouble and yelled at for doing wwhat he's supposed to do so let him and in the future he'll be tired of it and he won't probley have as many kids and we'll be fine.

I would apologize for barging in and yelling. Tell him it's a natural thing to do but encourage him to lock his door (or the bathroom door if he uses that room.)Most important is to assure him there is nothing wrong with him or what he was doing. I wouldn't show him how or admit you did it (or still do) unless he asks directly. Above all I would NEVER touch him to demonstrate the 'right way' to do it. There is no wrong way. I've been masturbating since I discovered the pleasure just before my 9th birthday, and I'm well over 50 with 9 grandsons! I'm sure some of them are into it as well. Please apologize and make peace with him, and yourself.

He is getting older and exploring his body is something he is going to do at one point or another, be it when he is alone... or with someone else. Keep it in control and apologize to him for blowing up. He is your son, and you know that you love him with all your heart. He may be growing up too fast in your eyes, but in his he feels choked by the collar of parenthood. Good Luck.

Just leave your son, he'll be fine. All he's doing, like me, is probably starting to think about sex more. Maybe he'll watch some porn. He'll masturbate, ejucte. and he'll LOVE it

Its okay to masterbate, dont yell at him! Just make sure he cleans up his cum and locks his door when he wants to jerk off. If he is doing something wrong then have a talk with him and demonstrate how to masterbate by doing it to your penis. He doesnt understand to much at 12... dont make him feel ashamed, you did it when you were younger and you know it feels great
LET HIM ENJOY!!!

reader, anonymous, writes (13 October 2007): It is best to keep the lines of communication open with your child(ren) and one way is to keep your cool in all situations. I know easier said than done. Catching your son masterbating may have been a shock for you and embarrassing for him. My suggestion is to remove yourself from the time and allow both of you to compose yourselves. The next step after composure is to ask for a moment to have the "uncomfortable" sexuality talk and the need for respect of privacy and the need to assure that measures are taken to prevent others from walking in on him. Each person should be given the opportunity to explore their sexuality in a safe and unshameful way....with respect and knowledge of the responsibilities he/she may have to themselves, their partner, and society as a whole.

I will tell you this now when i was young about 14 i was caught masterbating by my grandfather and mother now this was a hefty time for me and i learnt a wise thing in this process. 1st: Do not tell your son that he is done something wrong. Yelling at him telling him that he is a sick child or disciplining him for this will cause distress or even worse, him being mentally scarred. What you want to do is re-assure him that this is a process in which every male goes through. IF and only IF you know the process of the male adolescence tell him the process. Then tell him the cons and pros of masterbating and where and when it is appropriate to do it. Thats the best i can offer you mate. Wish you all the best.

 Explain "blew up"? Did you yell at him?
Anyway, fact is, masturbation, these days certainly, is very normal. He has maybe found out about it a little earlier than normal, possibly from his own research (face it, mate, it's only natural if he's curious) or from friends at school. I remember my friends used to talk about Sex constantly, and I never completely understood what they were talking about.. I for one was unaware of masturbation (maybe because sex-ed bored and, in some ways, embarrassed me), and I didn't do it until I was nearly 15.
People are different. Your son is going through changes and there is no way of stopping it. Just allow him to do things his own way, and offer advice if he asks it of you, like a responsible adult. If you yelled at him before, apologize, tell him you were just a little surprised, and reasure him that what he was doing is only natural, and he should not be ashamed.

everyone here is replying as not to scold the boy... man oh man...
Mr. Father.. i completely support masturbation. There is nothing bad about it BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU SHOULD ENCOURAGE YOUR SON TO DO MASTURBATION. He is still a child. masturbation is like sugar.. if u have it too much then its going to be bitter.
My suggestion is to tell your son that this isn't the age to think about girls.. (don't tell him anything about masturbation - neither bad nor good-- because if u tell him that its good then he might make him occupied by it letting him miss other activities. If you tell him its bad, then he might suppress his feelings and get depressed)..
Mr. Father, this isn't the time at all to tell him anything supporting the sexual pleasure. With time he will know it by himself.. or you can tell him when you think he is in condition to understand things better (when he is teenage)
I am totally surprised by all the answers here... today in local paper (Germany) there was a news about a 7 years old school girl having sex and making video of it with mobile phone...

Hey mister... you need to sit down with him and apologize! You need to tell him you were completely wrong! You need to tell him that you used to do it too (and admit you still do it - and if you don't you should be!). Tell him you felt guilty doing it because your parents or your church made you think it's a sin. After you humbly ask his forgiveness, you then need to encourage him to keep doing it. Tell him it something he should do in private, and you will respect that privacy going forward... but if you catch him again, just grin and say, "sorry to embarras you son... have fun!) and get out quickly and leave him alone.

 Blowing up on your son wasn't the best react, I agree. I know it was a shock, and you probably didn't know how to react, but think of it this way... what would you have done, if your father walked in one YOU masturbating, and blew up on you? On top of the awkwardness and embarrassment of him walking in on it, you go yelled at!
What I suggest you do, is apologize for the way you reacted.... boys HAVE to masturbate sometimes or else they'll have wet dreams. Would you rather him do that and clean it up or have to change and wash his sheets every other day? It's not like you caught him having sex, be grateful for that.
You need to have "the talk" with your son if you haven't already. Let him know that sex isn't a good idea until he's old enough and financially/mentally stable enough to accept the consequences of it. But masturbation is a part of most everyone's life, few are able to say they haven't done it at least once. (I am one of those few, but I'm a girl, so it's different.) And besides, it's pointless to argue, he's going to do it whether you like it or not, he'll just be sneaky about it instead....
So just, try and stay calm when apologizing, no matter his reaction.

 Why did you blow up because your son was masturbating? Its a fact of life,most people have done it and its perfectly natural for a 12 year old to do it.I dare say you were embarrassed because you caught him doing it,hence you losing your temper.Its no big deal so forget it,he hasn't committed murder.

My only advise is DON'T MAKE HIM FEEL BAD ABOUT IT, and especially, don't be a hypocrit. If you make him feel bad, he'll get the wrong image that sex is bad, and either want to do it more, or feel guilty and ashamed.

You or your son both have nothing to be ashamed of because your son was just acting the way every boy(and men) act, they just don't admit it. All it was was an unlucky twist because of course neither of you expected it and it couldn't be helped. I think you feel that the situation is worse than it is because it's a rare unlucky situation. Try to forget about it and it's totally normal, neither of you are in the wrong.
Take care hehe :)

 Your son is going through that stage in his life where he is experimenting and learning about his body nothing you do will stop it.
My advice would be to talk to him as you have already blown up at him you really need to go talk to him and tell him that it is normal and you are sorry for blowing up regarding this.

 I think you just really need to accept that this is normal. He is going to do it regardless of how you feel. If you try to chastise him, he will probably do it all the more.
The best thing to do is just accept he does it, it is normal for boys his age.
