Issue surrounding masterbation

Unread post by hiitsmichael »

Basically, hopefully it isn't tmi haha. But it has to do with masterbation. So basically, I have been having wet dreams for like, honestly almost 2 years. Maybe 1.5. And I started trying to masterbate within the last year. But the problem is, I have never been able to actually like, have an orgasm. And I know I should be able to because like I said I do have the wet dreams. But it is frustrating because I am hoping nothing is wrong with me, and I have found ways to make it feel good and I always feel like it is close to happening and then it just never does. And I feel like l'm the only one of my friends who has never had one. So l guess l'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what. I just feel Ike from everything I have read online I should be able to by now, and also that men should do it regularly for health reasons. So I just hope I am not messing things up by trying to do this. So I guess I just have a bunch of questions around this situation. Open to hearing from anyone or doing a chat with staff

Hi there, Michael.

Our user agreement — https://www.scarleteen.com/about/user-g ... acy-policy — makes clear that a couple of things you’ve been doing are not okay to do here and will or can result in our not being willing to engage with a user.

You appear to have made more than one account here on our boards (this one, and another one where you are also a Michael). Users here may have only one account, as our guidelines explain. You also, in both these board accounts and in a chat last week, have used a VPN for some of your posts. Our guidelines and policies make clear we will not engage with users using those. That’s because in our experience, people using those here tend to be some form of troll, and most commonly, the predatory adult variety of troll, like someone pretending to be a younger person for their own sexual gratification, someone trying to find young people to groom for some kind of abuse, and/or to harass our staff and volunteers. You can perhaps appreciate why we need to do all we can to keep people like that out of our services and far from our users and staff.

We would be happy to talk with you about things like how human sexual response works and share resources about this issue with you, but we will first need you to choose one of these two accounts to use so we can shut down the other, and we also need you to post using a standard Internet connection instead of a VPN or any other form of IP masking.
