Masturbation, even mutual masturbation, isn’t a crime. It mostly accept around the world by many cultures. But there are still people who haven’t gotten the word and they still punish their kids if they catch them masturbating. In past years kids would get their hands coated with hot pepper sauce to stop them from masturbating. It’s too bad your friend’s parents are so ill-informed and are homophobic. Masturbating with friends doesn’t automatically make anyone gay. It’s a normal activity and a part of growing up. There’s a saying that 99% of kids masturbate and the other 1% are liars! It’s nice that you and your friend still see each other despite his parents trying to keep you apart.
