… it seems something that needs to be hugely important and then no one notices it at the time - this was exactly my experience. We had a major panic, then thought "fuck it, we want to have fun". I'm so glad we did.

Of course it is. It should be for everyone. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: tears are the best lube.

One kid I knew at that age thought it wasn't masturbation if he didn't use his hands. He may be lying, but he could also be stupid is what I'm saying.

That was my first-up response to @Morning_Wodehouse:disqus
too.

Too true - my depression was undiagnosed until about a year ago.
