I'm 21, and I just jerked off for the first time. Now understand, this isn't the first time I've masturbated, I've masturbated almost every day since I was 12. But until just now, I had never actually masturbated by wrapping my hand around my dick and stroking. When I discovered masturbation, it was by laying face down in bed and thrusting my pelvis into the mattress. After that it was by laying up, rubbing my forearm against the underside of my penis. Later I found out that when you thrust against the bed, it's called prone masturbation, and it can really fuck you up. I haven't done it in years, but the way I get off now is similar, since it's based on the same principles. I started getting worried that I might not be able to get it up for a real girl, so I wanted to see if I could jerk off the regular way.

It didn't feel as good. There's not as much pressure on your dick, but there wouldn't be in sex either, so I might as well get used to it. It was more work too, requiring more hand movement than what I'm used to. I also didn't realize I had to keep stroking in order to actually ejaculate. I guess my with my old way I just kind of do it instinctively. Here, I felt the orgasm coming, but I just sad there for a few seconds until I started stroking again, and then it started feeling good again.

Overall, I much prefer the way I was doing it before, but I don't want to give myself ED, although heavy porn use and masturbation can do that to you anyway. I'm very glad that I'm able to jerk off like everybody else, but I think I'm going to try and quit. I masturbate too much. Hopefully if I'm ever with a girl for real, I haven't damaged myself too much, and I'll be able to cum for her.
