Are there any men on JC who are fathers who have caught their sons doing you-know-what? I am curious how fathers react - do you ignore him, joke around with him, stop him - I am curious what the dads on the site do.

Just carried on like nothing happened, he's seen me do it so it's all good

never caught him, but knew when he was jerking. always used the late night going to bathroom excuse, way too long for anything else

we're pretty chill about it and will carry on like it's not happening

When I was young I began masturbating and cumming in my underwear and pants a lot, and my dad caught me a couple of times. One time we were out at a restaurant and I played with myself under the table until I had an orgasm and shot a load of cum into my underwear. Later on dad asked if I had done what he thought I had, and I admitted it. He was pretty cool about it and just told me to be careful. I told him that that was why I did it through my pants and came in my underwear, and he said that was a good idea. I guess that was sort of how I got started.

When I was young I would get spanked
if I was caught.

I told him the following; 1) It's natural and normal so enjoy it all you want but in private -doors have locks for a reason. 2) Clean up if you make mess. 3) Do it on dry land, drain your balls without draining my 50 gallon water heater. 4) You have to share your porn I want to see it too. 5) If you let your mother catch you I will agree with her that you are a little perv and should have to see a psychologist.

When I was 13 my dad talked to me about not cumming in my clothes. He said my mom was upset with seeing it while doing my laundry. He told me that is was natural and all guys do it. He suggested doing it in the shower while washing.

My stepson used to jack off off in his socks. His mom showed me the evidence. Since this was a normal thing, we did not think anything of it. I hope he enjoyed his jacking. I know I enjoy mine!

Careful where you go with this thread.

Yep. It's all normal but PLEASE don't use all the hot water. Now my son is older and has his own sons that he is going through the same thing with. It's cool we can now talk about it openly with advice for him as a father.

I don't have a son, but have caught my daughter. My wife and I just told her it was a normal thing to be done in private. If we knock on her door and she says, "I'm not dressed", we know what that means and give her some privacy.

Masturbation and sexuality is a part of growing up. So sad that some people see it as taboo or dirty. We need to be more open about sex and masturbation. We'd have a lot fewer STD infection and unwanted pregnancies.

I don't have kids, but I caught my nephew a few years ago when be was staying over. Came home from work early and found him on the living room sofa completely naked and enjoying himself. He was all freaked out about it, but I told him it was OK, that I'm usually naked when home alone and that I did it too and he shouldn't be embarrassed. Also told him he was welcome to come over anytime if he needed a safe place to do it (my brother and his wife are religious), and told him where to find the lube. He later came out as bi and told me my reaction really helped him to accept himself, which felt pretty good.

I've been caught. It was surprisingly not a big deal. which made me feel a lot better.

I'm on marriage #2 (married 7 years now), with a son from marriage #1. Two years ago, I walked in on my (then) twelve year old son masturbating while spying on my wife, who was sunbathing on the deck. She was completely oblivious, and I never told her about it. He and I had a lengthy chat about masturbation being completely okay and natural, but peeping-tom activity being unacceptable. He was extremely embarrassed of course, but that would have paled in comparison to the embarrassment of being caught by my wife.
