The title sums it up pretty well. Now that I've come out properly to my mom (the only person who needs to know for now) and she said it's perfectly fine, the mental block of shame and whatnot is completely gone and now I feel the need to uhm...play around a lot more :icon_redf Is this normal? Does this happen with anyone else here?
Quite normal, and something we hear a lot here. Shame and guilt can be a powerful motivator (or suppressor) of behavior. When you feel validation from your parent, suddenly, a lot of the suppression of your behavior and feelings is gone, and the desire that was always there comes to the surface. Enjoy yourself and don't be embarrassed masturbating or even talking about masturbating (well, in appropriate settings, like here, at least). It is a normal, natural part of who we are and nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of.
