I still have a vivid memory of my first masturbation experience back in my second year of high school. At the time, I was slightly curious, so I decided to try it at home. I remember studying how to do it by watching videos and browsing online. When I actually tried it, I was surprised by how good it felt—it was unexpectedly pleasurable. I think I kept doing it about once a week, gradually getting more into it. Back then, I was still inexperienced and in the process of understanding my own body and sensations. That experience feels like it influenced my later views and sensibilities regarding sexuality.
