Out of curiosity (strictly in the interest of fighting ignorance, of course), how does that work?
To help you study?
Wow!
You do it for the same reason I swore it off.
Life never stops throwing me curve balls to swing at…
I can’t speak for her specifically, but I’ve known a couple of women who could get themselves off against a chair without the benefit of their hands – some of them fairly discreetly. The one who was best and most discreet at it had a genital piercing which she used to rub against herself.
SoulMurk, throughout most of my life, I’ve had roomies/siblings sharing a room with me and we often had bunk beds. I had to be discreet, so I learned how to masturbate without movement, first just through solid pressure and then by thinking. The thought method takes a lot longer and isn’t always satisfactory, so I don’t do it very often. I learned about the thought method from a friend.
Mr. Slant it’s very distracting, but I need distractions to help me concentrate. I’ve also learned, like you, that if I don’t do it regularly, I start having sex dreams where I will wake up masturbating. That’s how I knew I was “cured” when I swore off masturbation for that long period. I used to think that everyone was like this, but I guess I am just abnormal.
Google ads for this one are kinda amusing … “What Jesus Meant,” “Facts about Christ” and “Christian Fish Car Emblem.”
Maybe they’re trying to reach all of us fornicators…
I find myself oddly… fascinated.
Care to help me get the research grant?
Masturbatory mind powers? Brilliant!
Some women can do that. I first started doing that when reading an erotic story and coming from it, and then later coming from a fantasy in my own mind. It does take some time, though, although in an intense phone or cyber sex session, it happens faster. Some men can do it as well, but it’s much rarer. I once dated a guy who could. I didn’t believe him at first.
He proved it. It was very cool.
No freaking way! Mindgasm? I need more evidence.
It really was fun to watch, although the result was naturally a bit messy. It was nifty having proof that he’d come without touching himself, whereas with a woman, most of the time you have to take it on faith.
I was on anti-depressants about three or four years ago (I was seventeen or eighteen), and I’m trying to remember if it affected my, um, schedule. I think I masturbated just as frequently, but it wasn’t so great. Seeing as you’re a girl and I’m a boy, there’s an obvious difference there… I think I’ve heard more about women having more difficulty with orgasm etc on anti-depressants than men. I wonder if there’s an actual pattern here, or if I’m assuming that “anecdote” is the singular of “data.” Oh, and “hi!” from the picture thread! 
As for me… I usually wank, oh, about once a day. Sometimes less if I can’t find the time or don’t feel like it (yeah, like that’s gonna be the case very often), more if I’m bored or unusually horny for whatever reason. If it’s more than once a day, I usually go straight to three times. Oooh yeah.

Sexual side effects, which do not necessarily wait for a second warm body to manifest themselves, are very common with many antidepressants.
That would just make me more depressed.
I’m male, 38, hetro, and happily married for eight years. I beat the bald bishop about four times a week.
I try to get it over with ASAP because it got boring a while back ( I used to “drive the herd to the free range” MUCH more often.) Nowadays, it’s more a matter of "Stop pointing, dammit! Oh; OK Elvis, here ya go: leave the damn building already :rolleyes: )

Funny you mention that, as suicidal thinking is also a very common side effect of most modern antidepressants.
I’m fairly confident that this is was a very hot-looking co-worker of mine used to be doing. I’d spot her sitting with legs tightly crossed, the foot on the top leg bouncing up and down quickly and rhythmically. Her right hand was still mouse-clicking but I don’t think she was paying much attention to what was on-screen so much as looking more or less like she was working, and quite often her left hand would be wrapped around a banana and her thumb rubbing back and forth across the end of it. Mental stimulation and all that.
There may have been a perfectly innocent explanation, but on the balance of probabilities, I firmly believe Xochi was getting herself off at her desk.
I was on the pill for almost twenty years, and during that time the main thing I noticed is that I’d get the most horny during my period. Inconvenient, yes, but my boyfriends weren’t squeamish.
I then decided to go off the pill since I wasn’t, er, “using” it. A couple of months later I started getting absurdly horny right about the middle of my cycle when ovulation presumably occurs. Being mostly single, this could get really frustrating, and I found myself fantasizing a little too often about picking up questionable strangers in odd locations (or odd strangers in questionable locations).
This would only last a couple of days, but it was pretty surprising to find that my body apparently really, really wants to reproduce. I’m 36, so maybe my bits are upset with me for refusing to fulfill my obligation to the species, or something.
Now, after a terrifying condom mishap, I’m two weeks back on the pill and can already tell the difference. I haven’t lost my sex drive, but I have feeling my superhorny days are over. Stupid biology! 
Back on topic, I don’t keep count, but I guess it’s a handful (heh) of times a week, perhaps a bit more frequent when I’m dating. Either way, it’s unusual for me to go 3-4 days without killing at least one kitten.
I had been doing this more, but given the orders in this thread I’ll have to back off.
Depressed != suicidal.
I can’t believe I’m posting to this thread.
