If you had made this a public poll you would probably have gotten different results. ---

When I worked at Gamestop I once jerked off to a picture of [Tori Wilson](http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa256/WATCHER4321/Trish-Stratus-0086.jpg) in an old WWE Smackdown vs RAW strategy guide (we kept all the strategy games not out on the floor in the bathroom as reading material). ---

Until I saw this poll, it had never occurred to me that anyone would get themselves off at work. People seriously do that? Damn, where do you people work??? ---

Well, I’m at a point in my life where the wind blowing can give me a hard-on. I get agitated if I get hard and don’t ejaculate (even if I’ve since gone soft again). I don’t quite know how to explain it but I think it’s the same with most other guys. ---

For a few years, I worked from home as a phone sex operator. Hey, what can I say? On a _few_ calls, I got hot, too. On some of those, my orgasm at the end _wasn’t_ faked! Now, well, I still work from home. So. . . ---

If God didn’t want us to masturbate, She wouldn’t have made our arms long enough to reach our genitals.
