To put big No Wanking signs in my bathrooms?

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.

It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between pearl clutchers and mothers of girls/ young boys.
As a mother of 3 boys (oldest 13) this is both amusing and useful. My friends and I discuss it (and daughters wanking) plus sex lives etc quite often- what's the problem?

Finally- I reckon I wanked as much as any teenage boy....

Aw, poor them! They're probably just exfoliating, showering, washing hair, daydreaming etc. It takes me fifteen minutes to wash my hair and shower if I'm thinking about stuff. I used to spend an hour when I was 16 doing facepacks and hair conditioning packs, steaming pores etc so 20 mins is nothing!

Ds has 3 showers a day!

My 14 yo has always taken ages ..he just drifts off into his own little world. I just bang on the door after 10 mins.

Blossomdeary · 17/08/2017 19:24

Or "Please wank quickly - there is a queue."

JuneBuggy · 17/08/2017 19:25

Husband spends 30+ minutes in the shower!

He's not wanking. He just likes being warm. Hmm

smilingontheinside · 17/08/2017 19:51

At least he's behind a locked door, not likely to walk in on him and yes I have!!!Blush

RevEm · 17/08/2017 21:18

Could you just ask them to please mastrubate it in their bedrooms...

blackteasplease · 17/08/2017 21:25

Had this weird conversation with my DM a while back where she was suggesting only boys wank! I couldn't believe it.

Maireadplastic · 17/08/2017 21:45

RevEm, I can see many advantages to them doing it in the shower....no crusty tissue surprises. I worry about the water usage though.

MrsJamesAspey · 17/08/2017 21:53

I remember a boyfriend from my teenage years saying that he'd been having a wank in his room and when he opened his eyes afterwards there was a mug of tea and some biscuits on his bedside table. Presumably his mum didn't want to come back at a more convenient time Grin

I don't know why people are getting upset about this thread, I've never met a bloke who's ashamed of the fact that he wanks, in fact they seem quite happy to brag and make jokes about it

ButtHoleinOne · 17/08/2017 22:11

That's an urban legend mrs James!

I'm anti-pornography, so I'd be pleased as punch to see that a teen DS was wanking in the bathroom, where there's no chance of porn being used.

I don't expect a teenage boy to never masturbate. I'd rather they do it somewhere hygienic, without towels getting soiled and so on. It's also my experience that teen boys are more likely to lock the bathroom than their bedroom, leading to a lower chance of an unexpected walk-in.

MrsJamesAspey · 17/08/2017 22:18

Lol butthole I was a teenager in the early eighties way before emails and snopes, it did def happen as I remember him being really embarrassed about it. Maybe he is a legend in his own lifetime 😂😂

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/08/2017 23:07

LOL@ hygienic,wanking isn't dirty Grin

coconuttella · 17/08/2017 23:14

Aw, poor them! They're probably just exfoliating, showering, washing hair, daydreaming etc.

Teenage boys? No, they're wanking!

Shower is the best place for it... No idea why some people would prefer they did it in their bedrooms!

coconuttella · 17/08/2017 23:16

MrsJames

Believe me, that was a legend back in the 80s.... I remember it! Your ex-bf was messing with you.

lazycrazyhazy · 17/08/2017 23:24

I asked my then teen son how ever long he kept spending in the shower. The reply was a bemused: "until the hot water runs out"....

ChristmasFluff · 18/08/2017 00:23

Strange as it may seem to OP and others on the thread, I am as little interested in what my teenage son does in the shower as I am in what I do in the bath. If push came to shove I'd hope he would wank in the shower, cos then there's no leftovers for me.

WombOfOnesOwn · 18/08/2017 02:31

"wanking isn't dirty"

I take it you've never seen a teenage boy's socks and towels before they hit the washing machine.

massi71 · 18/08/2017 06:25

Let's reverse this.

A group of father on an anonymous thread discussing their daughters wanking habits. Lightheartedly of course.

OP (and the rest of you thinking its ok too) now do you see why some people might have an issue with you even thinking about It?!

Cailleach666 · 18/08/2017 06:56

massi71 I agree.
My teenage kids masturbatory habits are their business alone.
I give it no thought and certainly wouldn't want to discuss it here.
It's inappropriate.

I am also amazed at the parents who enter a teenagers room without knocking.

AtHomeDadGlos · 18/08/2017 07:24

Be happy/grateful it's in the shower!

Just make sure it one of their chores to unblock the drains of all the cum matted old hair.
