Q: Starting masterbating too early?

Hey, I was wondering what's a normal age for people to start masterbating and what possible effects are there if one was to start too early?

I started when I was between the ages of 5 and 7. Of course at that age I didn't know exactly what I was doing or the implications either. All I knew was that it felt good so I repeated it pretty often. Also, because I didn't know about masterbation at that age I came upon a pretty unique way of masterbating and was already well acustomed to this different method by the time I found out about sex and masterbation.

But, anyway of course nothing was coming out at that age but could it still wear you out faster by starting younger?

What do you mean by wear you out? Masturbation for me didn't start until I was into puberty. I wouldn't say it will have any ill effects on you physically. As far as sexually, if you masturbate too much you may have trouble "getting it up" for your lover if you over stimulate yourself..but it's different for everyone. I wouldn't lose any sleep over masturbating

Well because eventually guys start to slow down, so I was wondering whether or not starting at an earlier age could cause your libido to drop sooner than avg.

Usually libido drop in men is caused by the many medications you take as you get older, alcohol, smoking, increased stress, testosterone issues etc. I don't believe early masturbation will effect your libido in a harmful way.
