> [@pulykamell](#): > > Anyway, as for masturbating in the bathroom being unusual (not a public one, but I private one) that definitely was a “tell me you’re not a guy without telling me you’re not a guy.” Bathroom, shower, bedroom—all typical places when you’re a teenager. It’s not chronic constipation that has pubescent boys hogging the bathroom. Fwiw, this woman thinks the home bathroom is a pretty normal place to masturbate, especially as a teen. ---

It might have just been a teenager; they tend to masturbate anywhere. ---

I once had to use a public restroom in a mall. Went into the stall, checked that there was paper on the roll, and did my business. Halfway through, I look a bit closer at the toilet paper, and realize with a good deal of horror that a previous occupant had jerked off all over the tp. ---

I mean, it _can_ be a kink if you’re specifically into doing it in bathroom stalls or with someone within earshot of you. But sometimes, I think it’s just a matter of needing to rub one out. Sex drive can be quite high for some people. There were at least a couple teenaged boys (no, not me) caught masturbating in the bathroom in my high school, and I wouldn’t call that a kink so much as being teenaged boys bubbling over in pubescent excitement. Lest I not be egalitarian, a close female friend of mine said she would get herself off in the middle of class by rubbing her thighs together when the urge became overwhelming. I don’t know if I’d call either of those specifically kinks. Hell, I did it in a tall grass field once when I found a porno in the dumpster, but I definitely don’t have a masturbating-in-a-field kink. ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > I mean, it _can_ be a kink if you’re specifically into doing it in bathroom stalls or with someone within earshot of you. I understand, and that was a good post, but I suspect that the public venue and the disgusting filth may very well be the motivation and that he does it on a regular basis. Thus, the “kink” designation. I can be very negative, though. LOL ---

Given the choice between being in a stall next to someone taking a horrendous beer and burrito shit, and some dude rubbing one out, I’m take the latter every time.
