[QUOTE=GuyNblueJeans] I don’t mean to sound like a stuffy old wet blanket, but, don’t you feel (intuitively) that spending your essence with so many orgasms like that causes you to lose some of your soul in the process? [/QUOTE] No more than I would when taking a dump. Three a day would be no problem (orgasms, not dumps), five a day would probably be doable. The only snag would be finding the free time and privacy.

Back when I was like 14 I masturbated over a dozen times in a day. The next day I could probably manage one. I think I could orgasm 3 times a day forever, and probably 6 or so a day for a week. So 40-50. 22 year old male here. ---

[QUOTE=GuyNblueJeans] Intuitively, a person knows what the truth is in a matter such as this. Pop-psychologists would love to have everyone in the world believe that masturbation is “healthy” or that it’s “natural.” But is it? No. It’s shameful, disgusting, perverted, evil, bestial and unholy. Have I ever done it? Yes. [/QUOTE] I don’t think you’re doing it right… ---

In the spirit of the OP, I can usually come at least twice a day and I show no sign of stopping yet. ---

Well, when I put effort into it I could _easily_ manage twenty or more a day and could easily do that every day of the week, which would end up being about 140 a week, I suppose? Of course, those have always coincided with days when I literally had nothing else to do but indulge myself. Work would impede those numbers immensely, for one. Also, when you’re having that many orgasms at a time, they tend to be a bit weaker and less satisfying than a few big ones that are built up to slowly, so I think I prefer fewer, more powerful orgasms. Thank you, Hitachi Magic Wand. ---

Female, 20 here- In an average sex session I’d expect about 7 to 10 orgasms at least (yes real full scale separate ones- no kidding, I have a magic vagina). I think I could comfortably have sex 3 times a day for a week before I became too tired or sore to do anymore. So for a conservative estimate 7 x 3 x 7= 147 Sweet. 😉 Though if I’m honest I’d probably lose interest before then. ---

[QUOTE=chowder] 😃 So how you doing? points to location [/QUOTE] My wife is doing very well thank you\* and she’s not kidding.
