Parental Guidance Information

Although of course SoggyBiscuitGame.com is Just-For-Fun this Factual information is provided for teenagers and parents discussing the real issue of being caught masturbating.

Teenager writes: "Mum caught my masturbating"

According to Google, there are amazingly more than 1,682 teenagers who are searching each month for help and understanding because their parents (or even a teacher on one occasion!) caught them masturbating. This can understandably be a cheek-blushing issue for teenagers and parents alike.

When teenagers are learning about themselves during puberty hormones can be all over the place. Sex drive can be very high. Experts agree that the behaviour of masturbation is a natural and safe outlet for these feelings and can happen either alone or with a partner.

How psychologists cure masturbation paranoia

Sometimes if an experience like being caught masturbating is so severe it may have caused a paranoid response when masturbating or thinking about masturbation again which resulted in feelings of fear or paranoia. One website called Sex Editorials quotes several people who report a paranoid response subsequently to being caught masturbating. The writer of the article explains how it was only when he learned to r-e-a-l-l-y relax again and not until he completely accepted his adult body again that he felt totally comfortable to accept and enjoy it once more.

How Christians view masturbation

Nearly everyone agrees that unlike the FSTE 100, it is masturbation is not an experience that should be shared - at least not with anyone but your consensual partner. Healthy Strokes is a site for parents, teachers, and teenagers with a great section about Christian views on masturbation and how it is viewed according to the Holy Bible. It argues various points including that God created us as sexual beings and that provided no overt lusting is involved, masturbation can be considered perfectly healthy and Christian. Bible passages only refer to the act of adultery as being a sexual sin so we may conclude that God intends us to enjoy all pleasures in life provided we do so without harm to others.

Teenagers regularly caught masturbating

There are many bulletin boards on the Internet such as Afraid to Ask.com where people have mailed in stories about their experiences being caught masturbating. Thankfully not all of them are as unpleasant as you may have imagined, and even some teenagers are relieved when their parents are "just cool" about it! Reading these stories really makes you feel very relieved that there can be good reactions to embarrassing moments, and we can learn from that in so many ways...

Masturbation and health

In researching this article I also discovered that some people believed masturbation to be either harmful or additive in the past and these erroneous beliefs had been passed down. JackinLibrary explains what excessive masturbation is, eg. if it is hurting. There is actually a Sexual Addition Test at the Society for the Advancement of Human Health to address any serious concerns anyone has. The good news is that for the vast majority of people, very nearly 100%, masturbation is considered natural and normal, and being caught masturbating is considered an embarrassing event on a par with your pants falling down in public, drunkenly mistaking a lamp post for a person, or having your card declined at the checkout! It's embarrassing, sure, but you can get over it!
