This just in…masturbation can make men go blind!But only if they’ve been using Viagra.
I hope I never need it to masturbate, I mean, I turn myself on more than anybody I know! I can’t tell myself it’s ok and it happens to a lot of men!

I masturbate in the shower so much I get a hardon every time it rains.
Oh, and not all women masturbate. This is a good thing to find out about early in the relationship, because if she doesn’t then odds are you are going to have to… a lot.
Female, 25, Yes.
When I’m single, it goes in spurts - sometimes it’s a daily thing, sometimes not for weeks. When I’m attached, I don’t do it nearly as much, but sometimes you just need to.
And I don’t look at or think of just naked guys, but my imagination writes some interesting little porno films sometimes…

Oh hell yes! Once or twice a day since I was 12. It’s great after exercise. I’ve tried it both ways, and just like it better dry.
:dubious:
“Yes, NOW I can. Stupid Wellbutrin.”
That reminded me of a couple years ago when I was taking Prozac. I had an erection almost ALL THE TIME, but couldn’t reach a climax no matter how long I worked at it. Very frustrating! Shame I didn’t have anyone to share it with.
Didn’t do shit for the depression though.
That was me on Effexor. Strangely enough, that was during the only time in my life when I did have someone to share it with …
That reminds me, back when I was a foolish youngster (4-5 years ago) I was into the old ecstacy scene and found that the following morning I could be at it for 90 mins + without any…ummm results.
That was not fun as I was single. 
:smack:
That’s not what I meant!
Irishfella left for Vancouver for 2 weeks this morning.
So for the next two weeks, the answer will be yes. Once a day is enough… I tend to come more than once.
When he’s here daily sex negates the need to do it myself.
Yes, since about 12 or 13 and a spot of instruction from a friend who’d learned it at one of England’s great educational institutions… No lube (I’m uncut), without toys or artificial aids, usually without porn. literotica.com has some stimulating material but I’m never entirely comfortable jerkin’ the gherkin in front of the computer. I do find I’m slowing down these days (45) though. I’d like to say that was because of my wonderful marital sex life, but it isn’t.
Good lord, that threw me – because I’ve always thought you were a female.
:smack:
Duh!

I think it’s interesting that out of 133 posts, only three people said they didn’t masterbate.
Is that because those who don’t don’t want to speak up, or is it representative?
My guess is that it’s really rare not to, but a lot of people don’t like to admit it.
I think it’s a great activity, myself. Stimulates the imagination, teaches self-reliance, burns calories, doesn’t cause lung cancer, beats mindless snacking, can cure a headache, relieves tension and relaxes, is cheap, usually qualifies as safe sex, can be done quickly or slowly…
I rarely do, probably less than 5 times a year. I often find myself more frustrated afterwards, which kind of defeats the point.
I think it is because my introduction to real orgasms came from a boyfriend who believed that they should be full body experiences. The problem with masturbation is that it is a very localized activity and the rest of me is left unsatisfied.
This thread has made me feel much better about myself…
and taught me to feel myself much better as well.

Yep. It varies from two or three times a week to a couple of times a day. I’ve never used any toys. I’m sure they work well, but…
Did anyone else read the book Changing Bodies, Changing Lives when they hit puberty? Until then I didn’t realize that females did it too, not just boys. It even told you how! Great book 
Just once, in 1960, for 20 minutes.
