i was always a hard core masturbator during my entire time as a JW. perhaps i am weird (or just half colombian, :-P lol). i did it regardless of the whole young people ask/self abuse stuff. i figured jehovah understood although i did ask for forgiveness about once a month.
i started masturbating when i was 8 years old. well, actually, earlier, but that's when i had my first orgasm. this is right around the time that my family started going to meetings for real. and i think that i have masturbated a lot in my life. from 8-13 years old, i did it about once a week. from 13-15, i did it about once a day. and from 16-19 i did it like probably on average twice a day, but at times more. and then from 20-25 about once a day again.
so some quick calculations indicate that during my stint as a JW, i had about 5500 self induced orgasms. i was also a pioneer and a holy spirit appointed MS during this time. these orgasms do not include oral or regular sex. also, i was not into porn that much at all. the large large majority were based on my imagination, which is quite vivid and overpowering.
so what can i say? i'm a sex freak. but no lighting bolts from above yet. LOL.
