I grew up as a homeschooled kid and was an early high schooler at the peak of Joshua Harris’s popularity and the influence of I Kissed Dating Goodbye. As you might guess, conversations about masturbating, beautiful women, and what we admired about the mysteriously beautiful erotic joy of the female form were non-existent within my groups of friends.

The arrival of broadband internet right after high school, paired with living at home through college, fueled my discovery of softcore/Skinemax, Playboy, celebrity nudity, and more. I became a prolific masturbator, sending endless one-handed evenings in the glow oh my Bondi Blue iMac’s CRT screen, cumming silently to avoid betraying my activity to the rest of the house.

Blissful as it was, that masturbation was always entirely private without a word breathed to anyone else. I think that’s one of the reasons it’s such a thrill to chat here on Reddit about those topics.

And I have become fascinated with stories of jerk off buddies, of friends deciding to enjoy masturbating together, binding through that experience of sharing that deeply private enjoyment together. I never had that, and honestly I feel like I may have missed out.

Does anyone else who grew up amidst that Harris culture find themselves thinking about the jerk off buddy scenario a lot?
