Do people usually get erect before starting to masturbate? Or do you start to masturbate while flaccid? I never get erections from just thoughts so I’ve always started to masturbate flaccid? Is this normal? I’m 27 years old.

More often than not from flaccid - getting fully aroused is part of the journey

Yea usually flaccid but depends on sometimes will masturbate because I randomly get hard but usually not.
Something I’ve tried to do is to only begin masturbating when I’m hard. This is because when you’re actually having sex, you’re only going to begin penetrating when you’re erect. Therefore, I’m worried that if I masturbate from a flaccid state then I’ll “condition” my body to think that it doesn’t need to get hard on its own (which would be a problem when it comes to sex). Not sure if that makes sense or if that can happen but it just seems like a good practice (what do I know though).

I’m 54 but don’t recall my answer ever being different - I start from either hard or soft depending on the case. If I’m aroused for some reason or a morning wood I start hard. If I’m not but feel like it I start soft.

40 but same - really depends on circumstances. If I’m hard and want to stroke it and have some time and privacy, then I go for it. Sometimes I get the time and privacy without being horny but want to stroke so I start from flaccid

Do you all think it’s abnormal that I start to masturbate soft? Like I get aroused feel like I need to ejaculation or I’m turned on. But like my penis doesn’t just get erect on its own. Like I need to start playing with it and stroking it. Then it gets hard. Like I don’t just get hard and then start to masturbate. I’m 27. You guys think this is blood flow?

I don’t think it is “abnormal” - everyone is different - i don’t really recall ever having a spontaneous rock hard erection I needed to deal with - morning wood possible exception sometimes. I may feel a bit of a tingle , may start to get a semi on, and then want to masturbate or I may want to masturbate ( I sometimes feel a need as a stress relief or something ) and work in the arousal as part of that.
If you have concerns say that you never feel any arousal without manual intervention it could be coming from all sorts of things - health, hormones, psychology and/or habits of masturbation etc.
On the physical side you can get it checked out by a doctor if you have concerns and that would clear that side up. Psychology etc Mojo and similar can help.
I only have my own experience to go in so hopefully others can chime in here.

If you get hard when you do stroke, I doubt it’s medical but it can’t hurt (except your ego) to ask a dr
Doesn’t sound abnormal, but I gotta say it doesn’t sound pleasant. I only start flaccid if I got privacy with an empty house and time to spare, but otherwise it starts from being hard due to memories, fantasies or even out of nowhere sometimes.
Also my answer.
