[QUOTE=Uncommon Sense] How 'bout if I fanatasize about watching myself masturbate while standing in front of a mirror? How many does that count for? [/QUOTE] If you put a second mirror behind you at the right angle – a lot. ---

Hopefully just the one…the mind boggles. I can’t be the only person who doesn’t think of real-life friends/acquaintances/exes, can I? ---

That I know of for 100%, absotively posilutely sure: four. That I’d bet a significantly large sum of money on: ten to twelve. That I’d consider within the realm of possibility with a reasonable hope of not being laughed at if revealed to the person in question: maybe twenty. On the plus side, thanks, **Shag** ; you’ve just given me yet another excellent topic for life’s many “I Don’t Want To Be Talking To You Anymore” conversations. ---

Well, I’d like to think **Pepper Mill** does. It’s possible that some former lover does, or perhaps did at one time, but I wouldn’t bet money on it. ---

I’m sure of 6, because they told me. I’m guessing around 10-15 others of the people I’ve had relationships with, based on what I know about their masturbatory/fantasy behavior. Of the people I know but have not had relationships with (romantic/sexual ones, anyway), no idea. My ego wants me to say a much higher number than is probably realistic. It mattered to me much more when I was single. ---

Knowing what I do about men in general, and knowing what I do about some men in particular … I’d say, a whole bunch. I don’t fantasize about my husband - why should I? I fantasize about people I’ll never be in bed with, not the one I’m in bed with all the time. I’m sure hubby features in many other people’s nightly shows, though. He’s a cutie. ---

I can somewhat figure maybe three or four . . . _that I know of_. I mean, it’s not like I ask people the second time I meet them, “Nice to meet you the other day. By the way, did you get yourself off about me? Oh, pardon my sweaty palms. I just. . . washed them.” :: offers hand to shake :: But then again, being devoid of clairvoyance, they could be wanking/rubbing to David Hasselhoff, and I would be none the wiser.

[QUOTE=Scumpup] Everybody who has seen the videos. [/QUOTE] Cite? 😃 > [@irishgirl](#): > > I can’t be the only person who doesn’t think of real-life friends/acquaintances/exes, can I? No. Well, during my periods of singleness, I would sometimes fantasize about an ex; the rest of the time, I just made people up. When I’m dating someone, they’re always in my fantasy. Sometimes with an additional made-up person or two thrown in. I don’t care who masturbates to me, but I just feel awkward about masturbating to friends and acquaintances. As for how many people have masturbated to me, probably a lot – I’ve had a lot of guy friends, and dated my fair share – so maybe 20 right there, plus I’ve posted my picture on here a couple times, and Og knows how many that’s good for! (Sheesh, you guys!) 😃 ---

I’m pretty sure nobody does or has ever fantasized about me. Even my girlfriends at different times. I don’t think anybody has ever really been that in to me. Maybe when I was younger, but honestly within the last 15 years I really doubt I have inspired many imaginations. I feel pretty worthless as a sexual entity… not having a girlfriend and no sex for years at a time will do that. ---

I try not to think about it, and I have no idea how many copies have been sold, but I’ve appeared in a couple of adult videos, so there’s got to be more than a handful. hmmm… didn’t mean that to sound like a pun, but it sure does! ---

Exactly one has admitted to it so far. She was blonde, vivacious, hot to trot, had a rack on her that wouldn’t quit, and – of course _of course_ **OF COURSE** \*\*\* :smack: :smack: :smack: – turned out to be a total vibe-harshing dick-shrivelling psycho-demon hell-bitch. OK, I just remembered a letter I got from my HS sweetie that, reading between the lines, _strongly_ suggested she was typing with one hand at the time. Mmmm. 😛 Now _that_ feels better. ---

As a related question: Women, are you squicked out by being the target of knuckle children? If you found out a guy was pounding away thinking of you, would you be flattered? Additionally, are you sure you even WANT to be in that world? Would you want your significant other to be thinking about you when he’s doing that? Sick and twisted things go on in that realm. You MIGHT not want to be included in that realm. ---
