WHAT IS THE MEANING OF "NORMAL"?: Many want to know if they are "normal" when it comes to sex drive, masturbation, penis size, breast size, fantasies, thoughts, and sexual activities.


Probably no word appears more often in the questions that come to this website than the word 'normal.' Many males are trying to determine if what they 'do' or 'have' is normal, as it relates to sexual issues (e.g., size of their penis, frequency of masturbation, sexual preference, etc.) How does one determine what is normal? Many believe there is some clearly agreed upon standard established by someone or some group that can provide answers to such questions. Unfortunately, for many male sexual questions that are frequently raised, no such standards exist. Even scientific studies, such as those done by Alfred Kinsey many years ago in the 1950s (and other scientists more recently) do not provide answers as to what is 'normal' or 'abnormal'. At best, they can provide insight into the sexual practices of 'most men' or 'most women.' So, for example, scientific studies show that most men masturbate. Does this mean that those who do not are abnormal? Of course not! Such studies can provide important insights, but they do not tell us what is 'normal.' They are pointers to what seem to be the practices of men and women on sexual matters. It is not their task to determine what is normal or not.

American society and most other societies have determined that certain sexual practices are not acceptable, and they have outlawed them. For example, prostitution, public nudity, rape, sexual abuse of minors, etc.,  have had related legislation enforced to protect innocent individuals from sexual trauma. Lawmakers have determined that such practices are not normal and not good for a society at large. And those who violate these laws can be punished. But on what basis and what foundation does society make such a judgment? When we feel we can see enough to determine what is normal or not, we are moving onto a different plane of thinking. We are essentially asking questions that relate to religion and ethics. As far as many questions raised on this site are concerned, religion and ethics have nothing to say; but on some them have clearly defined views. For example, there are no clear guidelines to determine if anal intercourse is normal or not. Here it is a matter of what the individuals directly involved find acceptable. Some religious groups, on the other hand, have judged that masturbation and homosexual practices are sinful (and abnormal).

When we ask questions about what is normal or abnormal in sexual practice, we are moving into consideration of the ethical standards that guide our lives. Some find these standards in religious faith, others in humanism. However, most people tend to want to meet the unwritten requirements or standards in what is called 'popular culture beliefs'. These beliefs are the values, morals, ethics, and benchmarks passed on to us by the culture in which we live. There are many different cultures in the world and within the United States itself. Therefore, to answer a question about what is 'normal' is often very difficult. What is 'normal' to me, my neighborhood, my religion, my state, my province, or my nation may not be considered 'normal' to you in your society.

On this website, it is possible to provide mathematical means and averages based on studies, polls, and surveys. However, this information might not be what a specific individual within his own family, culture, and society can use or apply to himself.

I belive normal is in the context of the persons belief structure. If it makes that particular person uncomfortable to perform an act then you could call it not normal for that individual. However that very same act performed by someone else and that person not feel uncomfortable, well then that would be normal to them. I also believe in the context of normal or abnormal that as long as someone is not victimized or harmed unwillingly then normal lies in the eyes or person performing the acts.

Normal seems to be what is accepted by society. To me, the meaning of normal is a sexual context would be whatever you enjoy without hurting anyone. If in a relationship, whatever you and your partner enjoy and agree on. In short, just about anything as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.

I am a open minded person I fill that masterbation is a normal thing and that all male do it and if thy say thy dont there telling themself and other a lie/ I do a lot of studys of male sexuality and I think that if a parent walk in on there son while he is masterbating thy should excuse themself and let the boy do what he need to do. I grew up in the 50 where your parent did not talk about sex and if I got cought jacking off all hell broke loose/ that is wrong.

I think normal is different for every person. If you are enjoying your self and your partner is enjoying themselves, no problem. But if it goes past the point of comfort its not nessecarilly abnormal. Just a bit different from what someone would consider ok I think

I was 45 yrs old and a traveling salesman. while in a town on business one evening, I went into a adult book store and made my way back to the booths. I LOCKED my door and put momey into the machine and started fliping to see a movie. I found two men having sex and it was a big turn on.I droped my pants and started stroking my cock when I heard a noise, it was dark in the booth and I FINALLY noticed a man who had stuck his head through a hole about 18 inches square. He ask me if he could suck my cock? I had never been with a man but had been curious and had thought I wanted too. I moved closer with my cock and he started sucking me and I really like it, after about 15 minutes of driving me crazy with his mouth he stoped and pulled his head out of the hole. I was disappointed, but then he stuck his 9 inch cock through the hole. I looked at his cock and without thinking put my hand on his cock and started stroking it. He was pumping and twisting in my hand and I knew I wanted it in my mouth so I started to suck my first cock. It was hard but the feeling was soft and he must have enjoyed it as much as I had when he was sucking mine.I stoped and he pulled his cock back and his head reappeared and I was out of my mind with excitment for more sex that I had just expierenced. So I invited him to come to my motel room,I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD NEVER BEEN WITH A MAN, BUT I WANTED TOO. He ask me where I was staying, after I told him which motel and what the room number was he said he would be there in about 20 minutes. I rushed to the motel room and kept watching for him to pull into the parking lot. I watched him get out of his car and then watched him climb the stairs and then he knocked on my door. M y heart was racing a mile a minute as I TOOK the first step in becoming Bi. H walk in and looked around and felt comfortable I guess and sat down ont the edge of the bed. We talked a little and I WAS SO hot for my first male to male expierence I started to get undress and my cock had never been as hard as it was now. I HAVE A THICK 6 inch long cock and my wife or other women I had been with always seemed pleased. He said I had a beautiful body and a nice cock and I CLIMBED oonto the bed waiting for him to teach me and give me what I wanted. AS HE STOOD up I noticed that he was over 6 feet tall and weighed about 240 lbs. HE removed his shoes and his shirt and his pants. He climbed onto the bed with his shorts still on.He tooked me into his arms and shocked me by starting to kiss me, and at first I did not like the kissing but changed my mind as he continued to kiss me and also run his hands over my body.He was being so gentle and I relaxed in his arms as he told me he had thought about this being my first time that he was going to teach me how to be agood lover to a man and if I would agree to do what he would ask me to do that I would really enjoy myself and so would he. He told me that he was a top and he wanted me to be his woman for the night. He said my cock would be a clit and he would get me hot and when he got me hot that he wanted me to get him hot by sucking his cock and then he said that I would understand what I had been desiring really felt like. I realize that I was so excited that I did not care what he did with me. He moved down to my cock and started sucking my cock and balls, and pinching my nipples on my tities as he called them. This went on until I heard him say pretty woman now you need to satisfy your man.I was more than willing to try. He stood by the edge of the bed with his shorts still on and told me to get on my knees in front of him and take off his shorts and for me to make love to his cock.

I STARTED pulling his shorts off and his cock was fully erect,veins popping out it was a monster compared to mine.I pushed his shorts to the floor and he steped out of them. pLACING MY SHAKING Hand on his cock as I guided it into my mouth and the sweet taste of his pre cum was in my mouth. After a few minutes of sucking on his cock he placed his hands on my head and slowly began to pump into my mouth again.I was enjoying satisfying himand he talk to me telling me that I WAS DOING A GOOD JOB on his cockand that he was going to enjoy making love to his woman.He pulled me to my feet and kiss me again as he played with my cock for what seemed a long timeand then he climbed onto the bed with his cock standing straight he told me to suck his cock some more, I did. What was about to happen next, I Had prepared for over 20 years, I HAD ALREADY GIVEN MY SELF A ENEMA before I had went out in case my secret desire like this had happened.He instructed me to place a condom on his cock, I had bought 3 condoms incase I needed them and had them on the night stand with lube. I tore one of them open and rolled it down his cock, he then told me to get on my hands and knees and he got behind me. I was expecting the worst seeing how large his cock was but instead he first started putting lube on my tight ass hole and starting finger me. First I jumped when he stuck his finger into my ass but then I started to relax as I knew he was getting me ready for my first male fucking. He stoped after he got me used to playing with my ass and mounted me and I FELT his cock touching my ass hole, but he only teased me by bumping my asshole but not putting it in me. He layed down beside me and told me to get on top of him and he pulled me down to him and started kissing me very passoniately and used his hands to spread my ass cheeks and I felt the cool air on my asshole.As he held my ass open with one hand he placed his cock at the entrance to my asshole and told me that being my first time to take a cock he wanted me to lower myself onto his cock. I pushed back onto his cock,nothing happened, it did not go in, I kept the pressure up and finally the head of his cock started into my ass, I froze, it was just to big, where was the fun, I had dildo myself before and it didnot hurt this bad. He kept talking to me and told me to just be still and that my asshole would relax in a little bit and I felt him pushed the head just inside my ass,I was hurting like hell and telling him no, no ,no and he pulled me to him where I could not escape and kissed me for a long time until he felt me relax my ass muscle and he placed his hands onto my sholders and slowly pushed me up and down onto his monster until he was buried to the hilt. I rode him while he called me his sweet as baby and I knew then that I was a malewoman right then and the feeling of having a cock up my ass buried to the hilt was the best sex that I had ever had.
