Hello all! Well, this is two new topics in less than a week, but well... I need some support. I didn't figure it to be a "Supporting Each Other" topic, so I put it in "Bodies". I figured it would go best here. (Feel free to move it if it would fit better somewhere else) It might ...

So, I should just go along with it? I figured there was really nothing a doctor could do, but I figured it might be an idea, at least. I guess I'll just go along with it. It might change tomorrow, or next week, or a decade from now, or maybe never. That's what I'll do, then.

As the title says, I hate to bring this up again, but I needed some input, and so here I am. I posted a topic to the forums (same sub), called Masturbation Issues, which you can read: http://www.scarleteen.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=684 and thought I came up with a solution here: http://www.scar...

I felt like adding to this post because I've finally got around to writing down a list for my own kit. Inspired by that exact article that Sam linked in the first post! I have a little box that I made when I was young, it's basically a wooden treasure chest. I never even imagined I'd be using it for...

It has been awhile, hasn't it? I've been doing pretty well myself. Better now then the beginning of last year, that's for sure, so that's always a good thing. I'm glad for that.

Really though, it's been quiet on the homefront for the most part (I've always wanted to say that).

Thanks Heather. You're certainly right in saying that my mind is active and open. As a matter of fact, I daresay it's more active and open than my parents'. Regardless, I actually have no idea where I was going with the entire topic. I guess I just wanted to see what other people had to think about ...

Oops. I meant hetero. Must have wrote homo by accident. I don't really know why I said odd. I couldn't really think of another word that I thought fit. I think it may have been due to the household I was raised in, which pushed abstinence and heavy disdain for same-sex couples (and people, for that ...

I have no idea where this would go (bodies, gender, etc.), so I decided to post it here. This may seem odd, but everyone here is very open-minded, so I figured I'd go ahead and share it. To start off, I am a male heterosexual that is comfortable in my sexuality. I've never felt out of place in my bo...

It looks fantastic, especially since I picked black and my arm is basically snow white, so it really shows up. It's healing fine, at least it appears to be.

Well everybody, I did it. :) I got in there around 16:55 and he turned the gun off at 17:17. Aside from being a little lightheaded in the beginning, that went away and I got it done without any incident. It really was more annoying than painful. Sure, it hurt, but not overly. My artist was kind, kno...

I just chose the design because it's simple (I didn't want anything too intricate for my first tattoo). But it's also easy to make out what it is. I've always liked wolves as animals, even since I was a kid. I chose it because the wolf is an animal of grace and strength. It's a also a symbol spiritu...

Yeah, I've heard it really depends from person to person on how much it hurts. I know this though, just like everything else, the more you relax, the less it will hurt! I'm getting mine on my upper arm, and the design is this: http://tattoosgallery.us/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/howl-wolf-tattoo-22-3...

A little update, I booked myself for this Friday (the 12th), and I managed to get a friend of mine to come along! He's never had a tattoo before, but I'm sure it'll help to have him there, give me someone to talk to and whatnot.

I found this quote on the internet: "Strength does’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the thing you once thought you couldn’t." Wise words, indeed.

Alright, so a few weeks ago I visited the tattoo parlor I had decided on. I did my research and looked around at a few places before I came back to a friend of mine's suggestion. It was clean, friendly and had won a few awards from the local newspaper, so it seemed like the best place to go. I stopp...

Much appreciated Mo and Sam! If I don't find anyone to go with, I'll probably end up talking to the tattoo artist the entire time. You're making me feel a lot more comfortable with the idea, and I thank you for that. :) This is an idea I've played around with for some time now, and (regardless of wh...

Thank you kindly, MusicNerd! Your advice was very helpful. I've done some research, and talked to some people this evening. I think I've narrowed it down to a certain parlor. I don't know who I'd take, as noone in my family has a tattoo. I can maybe ask a friend, though.

Hello Scarleteen, A while ago, I though about getting a tattoo, but then I sort of stopped thinking about it (because I was a different person back then, less open-minded.) My best friend's girlfriend recently got herself a tattoo on her upper back. That reminded me and rekindled my old interest in ...

Although I would continue with my old topic, I feel as if this goes in a new one. If any mods feel as if it should go there, feel free to move it, or ask me to, or whatnot. Well, last nite in my Journal, I did some writing about a topic that I have touched upon here: http://www.scarleteen.com/bb/vie...

Much appreciated, Edith_*, especially for the quick response! I agree with you that everything in different for every person. For example, I have a friend that doesn't like chocolate, and another friend that drinks vinegar (although that's more of a cultural thing for him and his family). I, on the ...

I realized now another point that I was wondering but forgot to ask: the really good feeling you feel right after climax/orgasm, for lack of a better term at the moment, let's call it "masturbation high" (although if you have the scientific word, feel free to tell me!). So, how long does i...

Well, I think I solved my issue. Last nite, I took the time to write myself an erotic short story, which made me horny. I then used the story as stimuli while I masturbated. I also relaxed myself more and took a little more time for myself. Thanks to everyone for their responses!

Much appreciated, Mo. As I said, what I might do is to wait some time until I feel highly aroused or horny, or to take more time if I get the opportunity. Thanks for chiming in, as you put it!

Thank you kindly soft_masc. I would say you have some very good points and ideas there, and I would say that any of those could be a reason. I think what I might do is to stop masturbating for a while and wait until I feel significantly aroused/horny, and then see how it feels to me then.

Hello to all. I feel a bit self-conscious about posting this, but here goes: Recently, I have been... how do I put this...? Not enjoying masturbation as much as I used to. The past 2 times I have masturbated (Thursday and Saturday evening) I just haven't felt as I have enjoyed it as much as previou...
