Walked in on my guy friend masturbating, how do I keep it from being awkward?

Question

I was going to hang out with my friend Michael. He told me to come by hen I got off work so we could hang out. I told him I was going to be by around 4, so we agreed.
Well my I had the time wrong and my boss let me go early, so I started to go to his place. He doesn't usually lock his doors so I just entered and started looking for him. I assumed he was on the tv room playing videos games so I made my way back there. When I got there he was shirtless and his pants where at his knees. He was just sitting there masturbating. I heard him say kind of say my name and freaked the hell out. I screamed "sorry I'm just gonna go home" and left.
I don't want it to be awkward between us because we're friends, so how do I keep it from getting weird? Also is it normal for guys to masturbate before hanging out with a girl (I heard it was)?

I think you're going to have to accept that it is going to be weird for a bit. But how you approach the weirdness is really what is going to define how this ends up. First of all, you should approach him first, considering you kind of showed up early and didn't announce yourself, so that's on you to make the first move. Second, don't assume his jerking off was in direct relation to you in any way. Sometimes the urge just hits, or maybe he was letting off some stress or he saw a sex scene in a movie and was like "Well.. I have time".
Don't make it a huge deal and if you can, approach it with humour.
"I'm just going to assume we just hit a true milestone in our friendship haha, so sorry for not even calling."

Good luck!

It is normal to masturbate at any time of the day. Yeah that is pretty awkward if you don't have feelings for him. If I was in your situation and I had feelings for him and I caught him saying my name while masturbating, I would have the biggest smile on my face and then leave. The BEST way to make it the least awkward is to be casual about it. Just say "Hey, I should have told you that I was coming earlier today but we are cool, right? If he says "Yeah, no problem" then ask if he wants to hang out and do something.

Ha, love it! It doesn't have to be awkward. Just don't say anything. He won't want to talk about it, so just be the cool girl who is totally fine with it because you know guys do that and you just had bad timing. If he doesn't for some reason bring it up, just say sorry about your bad timing and laugh.

If he was doing it because you guys were hanging out then you can "help" him out next time or forever friend zone him and it could be a bit awkward if he is into you.
