To put big No Wanking signs in my bathrooms?

[Dragonflycushion]

Because I can think of no other earthly reason why DSs (all 16+) would need to spend upwards of 20 minutes under the shower. They are definitely not depilating as they'd all give Mr Tumnus a run for his money.

LIGHTHEARTED

What teenage boy needs 20 minutes to knock one out? It's probably drugs (LIGHTHEARTED)!

Knit them a wanksock each.

YANBU

They are entitled to privacy.

Slip them an Ann summers magazine under the door with a cheery "something to help you there darling"

Oh dear god.... to be honest it makes me glad I have a dd who's 2... so it's all a bloody long way of

My 13 year old previously shower repulsed DS seems to be spending an inordinately long time in the shower at the moment ...

Yabu. Masturbation is a perfectly natural thing to do, don't shame them about it. Unless you're dying for a wee, only have one toilet in the house and need to use it leave them to it. At least they're cleaning up straight away and not leaving crusty sheets.

Do you resent the twenty mins they use the bathroom for?

I actually can't believe your posting about your own sons possibly masturbating in the shower. Ffs it might be your house but have they no right to a private life without you speculating on the Internet?

Not looking forward to this in a decade, we have limited hot water, I'll have to keep their bedrooms stocked with wet wipes lol.

Just be happy they wash at all

I foresee alot of pearl clutching happening in this thread.

You could try aversion therapy. Wander in there with something mysteriously phallic shaped "hidden" under a towel and then spend 20 miniuates moaning loudly. Occasionally bash the shower door/wall in a Harry met Sally table thumping style?

Or take in your OH and actually have a bit. They won't want to spend more than a nanosecond longer than they have to after that.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION
not lighthearted.

I foresee a lot of pearl clutching happening in this thread.

Would that be pearl necklace clutching, by any chance?

@ Casper I Hadn't even thought of that till now, which, considering what I'd have been doing at their age is a bit remiss really

I know you're joking but PLEASE don't shame them about wanking. It's healthy and normal.
If they are taking so much time in the bathroom that it's inconveniencing the rest of the family, a little talk about consideration and maybe a rota would help. Otherwise, just leave them to it.

Ewww just let them crack on.

A nice piece of subversive cross stitch would do nicely. Lots of flowers and the phrase enjoy your wank. All done to match your bathrooms colour scheme of course.

Can you imagine taking knitting out with a proper set of sock needles and someone asking on the bus "Oo what are you knitting, dear?" " Oh It's just wanksocks for my kids." Love it.

Itchy (wanksocks would be itchy to be fair)

Chemical all pearl clutching will be ignored. This is clearly a light hearted thread so the hard of thinking can fuck off.

A bit of hostility towards the OP for a light hearted thread. cant we just pull together and come through this?

TWENTY mins seems a long time though

Roar @ Shots. Excellent suggestion. I have a massive old vibrator that sounds as if It's diesel powered. That'd learn 'em.

Not really.
