This is one of my favorite activities. It really kills time and makes me feel better about my job. Maybe I should mention mandatory masturbation brakes at our next departmental metting.

Come on, I know you’ve done it too.

peace,

Hey, comeon, don’t be so hard on **jabe**. I wish they would put a _brake_ on all the masturbation my coworkers engage in.  
Oh, oh, I bet he meant _ **Break** _ . Well, then.  
Ummmm,

No Comment

I once worked at a cushy data-entry position, and for awhile, got my own office when the office admin left to persue other opportunities. On some of the really slow days, I pondered partaking of this activity in the privacy of the adjoining restroom, but never got the nerve to do it. 🙂 Woulda made my job a lot more exciting!

I think I’ve masturbated at every job I’ve had, except paperboy. That would be a site early in the morning.

Did it once in the restroom at a previous job, not ashamed to admit it.

Did it one time. I work mid shift with this girl that is dark tan, DD, and very flirtatious. Hot as hell. I had to relieve the stress one night cause she was looking to good. Went into the bath room and took care of biz. Took a while though.

You cannot get paid to jerk off, no matter how many episodes of “the Man Show” you watched on your weekend off.

Although the workplace should be a little more user friendly in the future 🆒

I walked in on my friend jerking off in the bathroom at school a few months ago.

I’ve never had a job (I’m only 15) but I have done it in the bathroom at school a few times.

Doesn’t it make your ass sweat then itch the rest of the day? And what about post-M dribble?  
No, I’ll do my self-pleasuring in the comfort of my own home, thank you.

Interesting you say this considering your own website is used for jerking off.

As to the OP: been there, done that.

Perhaps the point has eluded you that the content of **Stoid’s** website is _not_ a thread title.
