Not my mother but my father did. I grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and started masturbating at 13 in 1961. Parental attitudes were still Victorian and negative toward sex in general and masturbation in particular. This culture provided the backdrop to my own sexual experience and emergence. There was little sex education to counter it even though I was lucky to live my early adult sexuality in an era when repression was being challenged. There was no reference to masturbation in my family but I had been told that touching your penis was dirty so the asumption that it was seriously disapproved was apparent. The fear of being caught in the act haunted masturbation, still does and possession of pin up and porn mags was clear evdence that you were ‘doing it’!

Fortunately, I was never found in the act. Had I been, the effect would I am sure have been devastating on my sexual well being. Initially I wanked to underwear adverts and the lingerie pictures in my mothers clothing catalogue, common practice in my era. When I was 14, I found three classic 50’s/60’s pin up mags of my uncles and stole them. They were tame by todays standards, lots of raised skirts, stockings suspenders and panties and bare tits and bottoms.My father, caught me trying to smuggle them out of the house and warned me of the ‘dangers’ of masturbation but very obliquely. If my parents knew that I masturbated they did not make it known. My father warned me against things that would upset my mother and could lead to mental decay! He didn’t actually refer to masturbation but it was understood we both knew what he was referring to! This, in addition to my concern not to be caught in the act of masturbatng led to a period in which I felt shame and insecurity until I escaped to university.

Until I came to think seriously about this I had always thought that my parents had no knowledge of my juvenile wanking. I had not considered how my father came to catch me trying to leave the house with copies of Beautiful Britons hidden in my jacket. Now I realise he must have known I had them which evidences that by then he, at least, knew I was masturbating. I was humiliated at being caught with the magazines and thought my father was warning me against starting to wank rather than against continuing to do it. I would have been mortified if I had realised he probably knew I was.
