If Somone Had Told Me....

 

I wish I had had an adult in my life who would have helped me understand this big event before it happened, like this writer had. I was raised by a single mom and never knew the man who fathered me. I went through all the changes alone except for what my friends knew and told me, and they never admitted to jerking off. I also wish "sex drive" was explained to me. All I knew was that every single day I had this intense desire or need to masturbate. 

My mom had drug problems and she'd get strung out a lot and then later promise me she was going to stop doing drugs, but she never could. I felt my inability to keep myself from masturbating was just like my mom's drug addiction, and it made me hate doing it but I couldn't stop. 

I wish someone had told me that it was puberty making me need to do that, and it was normal and healthy and all boys did it, and probably every day just like I was doing.
