Is this normal? +repz

[Blinger]

Oh hey guys,
This is a bit strange for "normal people" but me and my parents have had an extremely close relationship since I was a kid. So anyway recently as I have been single I have had the urge to do some manly stuff. Well, when I was with my girlfriend she was quite loud and I miss her a lot. Probably a bit too much tbh. It's got so bad that sometimes I hang around near my parents room when they are going to bed so i can listen to their sounds, yeah, its not normal for you peeps but we are close! So anyways, I keep having the urge to touch myself. I succumbed to this urge last night, can/will my friends think any the worse of me? Do i bring it up with them at all? gar1111111

I'm confused, are you saying you just decide to have a bit of alone time or are you saying your alone time is linked to your parents?

If you had a bit of alone time then yeah, it's normal and I imagine the majority of your friends do it, just like the majority of the world does and if you want to discuss it with your friends, that's down to you. If you're saying your alone time is linked to what you said about your parents then I'd say that isn't what I'd call normal and I don't think it'd be a good idea to bring that up with your friends because I don't think it'd go down so well.

This, i think it is because I was so close to them as a child? When my dad was drunk he said that they used to "fool around" when mum was pregnant?
I dont think it would be good to talk to my friends about it. what about a psychatrist?

It probably is linked to how close you are. If you want to see a psychiatrist about it then go for it, might help.
