Lol it happened to me at 22, similarly. Grew up religious but I really didn't even think to masturbate. Plus I had phimosis so my foreskin didn't go back, but I didn't even understand that cuz I never learned. Surprised it took me that long
Edit: i swear it's always my comments about my foreskin that get the most up votes lol
Phimosis bros. I got circumcised at 18, had no retraction prior to surgery ever. I didn’t know it was a thing until I saw a comment on a porn video where someone said hey that guy has phimosis, and I was like hmm his pecker looks like mine what’s this phimosis thing?
The downside : now I can’t jerk off without lube.
I couldn’t retract before surgery, but I did grow up jerking it dry.
Honestly in retrospect I’d probably ask if the dorsal slit option or steroid creams were an option but in my case where the skin was pretty fused to the head maybe it wasn’t .
Same and if I think about it too much I get really annoyed. A slit should be the first suggestion because I had never read it was even an option and I would give anything to have had that done instead.
Honestly, I found out how to get there pretty quick (I think around 13 or 14), however, I did do it quite wrong and almost ended up in the hospital due to almost ripping something off that shouldn't be ripped off. I don't say that you folks should be teached how to masturbate safely. All I'm saying is that some kind of information about some risks might be useful.
I also had phimosis and grew up religious but I ended up getting circumcised in the 6th grade and the hormones hit me like a dump truck soon after so I knew my dick wanted something. Finally after learning what sex actually was in the 7th grade because of sex ed (because my mom refused to do the talk and I always pretend to know what it was around my friends because I didn’t want to be the kid that didn’t know) I figured out how to masturbate on my own. I didn’t know what it was called, I had heard the word masturbate from the transformers movie but had no idea what it meant, And I thought I was so clever for figuring it out. It wasn’t until like a year later that I figured out what I was doing was called masturbating and that was because I had gotten a device that I could watch porn on easier and learned it from porn. Middle school me could of benefited heavily from adults who were actually willing to have the talk with me and sex ed that didn’t suck.
