Talking to my dad about puberty?
Okay, my dad has given me a "slight" puberty talk before, but I want to now sit down with him and have a "man-to-man" talk. About puberty, my penis, masturbation, and all that. But we are Muslims, and my dad is on the strict side of that, and cares about religion a lot. I don't want to make things awkward with him, and have him go all religious on me... so how do I approach him?
It's just a guy-guy talk thing. I'm not into having sex for pleasure..... I just want to ask him questions about my body and all.

You sound like a bright guy.
Approach your dad as you have your post. Choose a quiet time to talk where you will have sufficient time.
Not sure about the Muslim part. Men are men. A lot of our sexuality is physical, not moral although they cross over in relationships with girls. Girls need to be treated with dignity and respect. They are not merely receptacles for our sexual releases.
Some men are uncomfortable discussing this with their sons, so be aware of that. Many man, perhaps your dad, have a belief where a lot of misinformation is fact. So listen to what he says. But educate yourself by supplementing this information with what you can read on the web. Web MD is a good place to start. Knowledge is your best weapon going from a teen to a young man.

Surely if your are Muslims then for a start even TALKING about masturbation is out let alone DOING it so find someone else with whom to have your "man-to-man".

I don't think you can. I know Muslims are strict about no sex for pleasure. So do what you feel is right.
