How and when did you learn about masturbation? Did you discover it on your own? Did your parents discuss it when they gave you "The Talk"?

I never had "The Talk" with my parents; I guess they figured the sixth grade filmstrips would be all-encompassing! I started j/o not knowing that was what I was doing. Around 8th grade, I was rubbing myself fantasizing about Charlene rubbing me. All of a sudden I though I had to go pee except it didn't feel quite like having to go pee. Ran to the bathroom, exploding in my pants and the toilet. I didn't know what the fuck this hot gooey white stuff was and was kinda freaked out. Figured it out eventually Note this was way before the internet and online porn. I had actually seen some hardcore porn mags, but again, didn't really "get" them.
