Taught? Older Brother, I Guess...

As a very young boy, I did some of that "I'll show you mine if you show me yours" thing. It was a group of four or five of us, about five years old, very tiny, looking but not touching and none of us was hard. I honestly don't ever remember being hard or even playing with myself until I was 10½ or 11. I discovered that if I pressed myself against the back of the couch in the family room (not kidding - there was a bead around the back of the couch and it hit me just at the pubic bone), I would get a tingly feeling "down there." Soon, I discovered that I could duplicate the tingling if I laid facedown in bed, slid my hand underneath me, palm up, so my pubic bone (didn't know that's what it was - just found a spot just above my little penis) was pressing on the heel of my hand, and push down with my hips. My hand would naturally curl which tucked my penis between my legs and THAT led to the discovery that the tip was very sensitive to being rubbed between my legs. So that became masturbation for me, although I didn't know what it was and I was certainly not shooting or even really reaching an orgasm - it just felt really good!
Not long after that progression, my big brother (13) started going around the house naked when Mom & Dad were out. He kept inviting me to join him but I was a very shy boy and didn't even like being seen in my undies much less naked. I kept saying, "No, thanks," until one day the offer became an order and I was forced to strip for him. He took a close look at the parts of me he'd probably not seen in nine or ten years, front and back, and then told me that, from then on, I had to be naked whenever he told me to. It was about 10% interesting to me (he had a small patch of pubic hair and he was almost always erect, which was interesting to watch bobbing all around as he walked) but about 90% embarrassing for me to have to walk around naked (with no pubic hair, and still tiny and always soft). Then [finally getting to the point], one day he laid down with his huge 3-inch-or-so erection pointing up and told me to jerk it. I had no idea what that meant. So he explained to me how to stroke his little hard-on which I did for all of maybe five to seven strokes before he let me stop (he could tell I was really freaked out and maybe he worried that I might say something to our parents). So I never had to do that to him again, but I did have to keep going naked whenever he told me to.
Soon thereafter, he discovered the girl across the street and I was off the hook. However, by then, the experience of walking around the house doing what I always did but just doing it naked had helped me to overcome my shyness (in front of my brother, anyway) and I found that I actually liked the feeling of being naked. I started taking off my pajamas after Mom tucked me in at night so I could sleep naked. Doing so also made it easier for me to get those tingly feelings from forcing my penis between my legs every night (plus I liked the feeling of the sheets sliding over my naked buns, too!). But my brother had made me hold his penis and move my hand up and down. So, genius that I was, I decided to try that motion. I turned over, face-up, wrapped my hand around my little member and - OOOoooooo I finally got it! So, yeah, I guess it was my big brother, after all, who taught me.
I learned a little more from a friend in England a couple years later but I guess that's a story for another time or forum.
