How do most men discover masturbation?
Most men begin “playing with themselves” as children (stimulating the penis by hand before puberty) because they notice the penis is a sensitive area of the body. When puberty occurs, this usually leads to an ejaculation at some point, after a period of stimulating the penis by hand. For most men, the first ejaculation is a surprise. However, good feelings tend to come from it. In the future, they masturbate on purpose to achieve this ejaculation and climax. Orgasms can and do often happen before puberty, but orgasms are not typically accompanied by an ejaculation or intense climax as they would be during and after puberty.
