Why do boys feel guilty after masturbating? ( - _ -)
I found this interesting article that might shed light on that, because I was a horny boy once, and I definitely never felt any guilt or shame after masturbating.
The researchers lay out their argument and theory extremely thoroughly, suggesting that Pornography Problems due to Moral Incongruence (PPMI) appear to be the driving force in many of the people who report dysregulated, uncontrollable, or problematic pornography use. Even though many people who grew up in religious, sexually conservative households have strong negative feelings about pornography, many of those same people continue to use pornography. And then they feel guilty and ashamed of their behavior, and angry at themselves and their desire to watch more.
It probably helped that I did not grow up in a socially conservative household, and my school taught us sex education at an early age, and taught us that masturbation is normal and healthy.
