"I'm" a 14 year old trans boy and "I'm" struggling with masturbation advances.

Unread post by wigglewater »

The title is kinda confusing, I know.

The reason we put "I" in quotes is because we have some kind of personality disorder, basically meaning there are multiple of us. Its a bit prominent in this discussion, or...question, or something, but not as much as some of the other things we'll talk about.

First things first, since I was around 7, I (the origin, core, whatever; basically the one that was here first, or the "main" guy.) began hitting puberty. It was a slow start, It was just me getting a bunch of body hair (Not entirely abnormal for half-Angolan heritage, because we are mixed race.) and a libido. As such, I sniffed out quite a bit of sexual content, at a young developmental age, heightened by sensitivity stemming from some horrific bullying I endured, and then being exposed to even more mature content from 8-10 when i entered public school.

Around 9 was the first time I masturbated, and it unfortunately began an addiction to porn. Short lived, but still having an effect on my psyche. My mother is in the work of Obstetrics and Gynecology, so I know everything about the female body and the female reproductive system, and the bodily systems in general.

Anyways, basically, my sexual drive has been high since day 1. The main issue with this is also that I'm extremely adventurous, which would be fine if i wasn't 14 with extremely high standards due to my porn addiction and knowledge in the world of toys, and also my partner over 3000 kilometres away. There are two extra issues to this as well.

1. I would like some toys, but it would embarrass me to buy them outright, in front of a cashier, and I worry that I'm underprepared when toys are made for adults, who often have their own bank account, a job, or an income. I have none of these things (yet) but that is due to change in the summer.
The issue is, we cant wait until the summer... it would put our stress levels high and we want to be a cop, so it'd be counterproductive to steal. If we could steal, or had any want or intention to steal (which we don't, we've never really done anything like that) our problem would be solved, hypothetically, but many more problems would stem from it. Problems that i don't want to deal with. Bottom line is, we need a vibrator, and while we have 70 bucks in cash, some really brave alters, and a close relationship with our mom, we don't think we'd be brave or desperate enough to ask anyone for sex toys...yet. So, we're kinda unsure how to get our hands on that very wanted sex toy.

2. We worry, that when masturbating, some of the alters may become uncomfortable. Oftentimes, whoever's in front during the little times we spend touching ourselves may just be drowning everyone out, since everything goes a little blurry, as it seems to for most people, but we don't really know how everyone feels, because sometimes we follow someones (usually the origins) lead and end up drowning someone else out. We know someone feels uncomfortable with it, and we think we know who, but he wont say anything about it outright, which leaves us with a lack of clarity.

We don't need help on that bit, that's for our therapist, however, we do often feel uncomfortable in this body, especially with many of our alters being older than the bodies age. We need help mainly feeling more comfortable in the body and how others see us, i guess.

Anyways, theres my ramble. I'm kinda nervous to post this, but oh well...you only live once. :D

Hello wigglewater! Welcome to the boards. I'll do my best in addressing your questions. And no, you're not confusing us at all--I believe we've had other plural users in the past. ^^

When you mentioned wanting to masturbate with sex toys, I wonder if you've considered making them yourself? Since getting a sex toy seems to be challenging right now considering your circumstances (especially your physical age), I'd like to suggest creating your own sex toys with objects that aren't . For instance, you can use an electric toothbrush in place of a vibrator--though you do need to get condoms to wrap it for hygiene. We have an article on that: D.I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition. Do you think this is something you can consider? Getting a condom could be a bit challenging, but I believe there are some places in Canada where you can get them for free or for a very low cost without judgment. If you need help looking up resources specific to your province, we can help you with that.

I'd also like to know more about your relationship with your mother. It seems like you are close to her, and her working in OBGYN probably makes her a pretty good fit for sharing your concerns on masturbation. Is there anything preventing you from talking to her about these particular problems? What do you think she might say and do if you told her? I am asking because it sounds like this has been troubling you for a while. Even though feeling frequent intense desires is completely normal--especially if you're still in the middle of puberty--it can definitely be distressing. While we (and many other evidence-based sexual health educators) avoid approaching masturbation and porn-consuming habits from an addiction framework here, since the framework has multiple issues, it still matters to us that we can help you, and it's clear that this has been a long-standing problem for you. So, with that in mind, why do you find your masturbation habits troubling? Ideally, how do you picture your own relationship to masturbation?

Lastly for now, if you are comfortable sharing, who among the alters/systemmates have been navigating masturbation and porn use the most often? How do they feel about the body in general, and have there been any disagreements among you all regarding how each of you feels about the body? I think elaborating on how everyone feels about this can help with finding solutions--but it is up to you whether you'd like to share this or not.
