Female, 34. Been masturbating since as long as I can remember… since I was a kid anyway, maybe 3? Of course I didn’t know what I was doing then, and I have no idea how I discovered it, just that it felt nice and was funny in that it made me feel like I had to pee but not really. I have a younger cousin who we also caught touching herself when she was about 2 or 3 so I guess it runs in the family. At least once a day - I have to be really, really exhausted to fall asleep without giving myself an orgasm. On the rare days I get to sleep in, I might well have three or four, possibly with catnaps in between, before getting out of bed. Sometimes on weekends if I’m home I might have a go or two in the afternoon, and if I’m really horny I may have several nights in a week when I need to in the evening before and/or after dinner too. Usually it’s manual but I do have a few toys too, the new favorite being the Insatiable G - it’s got a curved jelly vibrator that hits the G-spot as well as a clitoral vibrator, and the woman I bought it from at a ‘toy party’ guarantees that it’ll do the job in three minutes or less or she’ll not only refund the $40 but give a $20 credit toward anything else in her catalog. So far it hasn’t let me down… but I can also make it last as long as I want. The first time I used it I had a twenty minute orgasm and only stopped because I had to leave for work! It’s been a couple of years since I’ve been in a steady relationship, but even when I am I still end up masturbating a lot too - because we can’t be together all the time, or sometimes when I’ve been with someone we’ve done it together. With some guys I’ve masturbated _during_ intercourse and found that they get off on it as much as I do. See, all of you who don’t, people like me have to do your share too. It’s a terrible burden, I tell ya. 😃 ---

I’ve been multi-orgasmic before, but it sure takes a lotta work. I feel I can speak for all guys when I say your ability to have more, longer, varied _Le Petite Morte_ is a source of jealousy. ---

Believe me, it was only because of this lovely little toy I got… once I got there, it didn’t stop till I turned it off. I’ve been multi-orgasmic before, but never had one sustained for more than maybe three or four minutes before, and that was with a partner. By myself, it’s usually just a minute or two and then I roll over and go to sleep. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tmi-do-you-masturbate/311195.md?page=9)
