Yeah, I probably wouldn’t take the bet in the first place. If someone were willing to just pay me to take a break, then I imagine I could last quite a while depending on the amount. ---

For me it totally depends on the overall circumstances in my life. There have been times when I would have answered “a day” but right now I could probably go on indefinitely. Same with sex. My boyfriend is unfortunately finding out that when WOOK’S not happy, aint nobody happy. ---

If nighttime, er, relief counts as breaking the Masterdom, then I can’t vote. If I don’t “take care of things” manually, my body eventually does on its own in the form of erotic dreams with happy endings. Don’t have a time frame on those. ---

I could go as long as needed, but I wouldn’t be happy about it. ---

Anyone care to make this into a friendly wager? ---

I’ve gone a couple months without masturbating in the past, when I was in a deep depression. I could easily make it past 6 months for a million bucks. Or even just a few thousand, I’m broke as hell. I’m female. ---

The longest I ever went was two weeks on a camping trip. We were so busy and I was grimy already I didn’t want to add to the mess. But man once I got back to a hot shower… Nowadays I can go a day or two, then I get antsy. Awhile ago I went five days to see if I could and by the 4th day it felt like someone was licking the crotch of my voodoo doll. ---

I could (male) make it past 6 months. I’d probably not be happy, and I’d probably virtually attack (you know what I mean) any woman with whom I had a conversation, but it’s not really a “need,” IMO, like eating or the opposite of eating. That’s just something men tell woman to make themselves seem virile and pathetic. ---

I went about two weeks once when I was much younger, but only because of a rather embarrassing encounter within my family that made me swear off of it for a while. One day I couldn’t take it any longer and without so much as touching it, went off like a firehose. I never want to go through that again. So, two weeks. ---
