Why is sex with someone else so much more satisfying than masturbation?

**Should we assume that if Jesus Christ didn’t masterbate, that he had wet dreams?

There are a lot of jokes in there somewhere… **

Here’s one.

What’s white and shoots across the sky?

The coming of the Lord.

**Ditto that, but in general I think (this is IMHO, right? I don’t need cites?) we’re hard-wired so that sex does some cool and interesting things to our sense of identity, bridging gaps between us and our partner and doing a “merge”. **

hehehehe… “doing a merge”

You mean you never caught him.

I think emotions enhance the sexual response in an additive way. I would liken it to taste: We can actually only distinguish a small number of different tastes (is it 4? I forget), but we smell the food we are eating at the same time, and it becomes one unified sensation. So in the same way, the physical sensation of genital stimulation combines with the visual sensation of a partner we find attractive, and the emotional connection with another person to form a unified sensation that exceeds the sum of its parts.

And yeah, Jesus definitely whacked.

I’m think watching someone masterbate can be a real big turn on … my partner( F) and I sometimes masturbate in front off each other as a way of turning the other on we both have fantastic orgasm but we haven’t touched each other once so masturbation can be as good as sex… don’t knock it till you have tried it it

I suppose nobody wants to bring up evolution, and how successful animals get here.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

Masturbation you can do whenever you want.

Umm, remind me to never sit next to The Griffin on the bus, m’kay?

What am I, chopped liver?

From my post of October 12th,

My WAG-

Evolution.

If masturbation were equally or more pleasurable than sex with another person, our ancestors would have no reason to seek out a mate and would not produce offspring

As far as I’m concerned, the major point of sex is to make sure my SO has the best time possible; I get as much pleasure out of giving as I get out of getting, possibly even more.

So yeah, masturbation doesn’t involve this element and so is less pleasurable, for me anyway.

Well, I’ve never had sex, but if people here are saying that the pleasure comes from pleasing your partner, why is oral sex so popular?

**His manner of release was to have wet dreams. I know, I know - :rolleyes: …

Honestly, he never touched himself in order to stimulate himself sexually, and we would always be renting pornos and fooling around. It was very weird - he was a black guy from middle-class black Chicago, so perhaps it was a cultural thing? I’m really not sure what the explanation there was… **

You had porno movies laying and you believe he never endulged. Maybe you misunderstood him when he said he had a firm grasp of his sexuality.

95% of men will admit that they masterbate. (the other 5% are liars).

Reminds me of the joke:

95% of men masterbate in the shower, the other 5 % sing the same song. You say you don’t jerk? What song do you sing…

Because you’re pleasing your partner.

Looking at the join date I’d say it was purpose built.

Do zombies masturbate? Can they?

Because you’re pleasing your partner.

So da broad says, “Who you gonna please with that little thing?” And I says to her, “Me!”

@nisosbar

Many of us can give ourselves a better orgasm with Rosy Palm, yet, most people would probably agree it is not satisfying in the same way as coming to orgasm with a partner. (Actually, I once had a boyfriend who did NOT masturbate - never had, he claimed, and didn’t know how. I found that to be very incredible - and he never did masturbate the entire time I lived with him).

Exactly why is that?

Sounds like a real prude and most importantly I don’t believe him.

[Honey]

Do you think we’ll ever get past the stupid zombie comments in old threads?

We know it’s an old thread. No, you aren’t brilliant for discovering it. :rolleyes:

Sorry, I don’t know why it drive me so nuts.

@mhendo

Hey, beyond a point it doesn’t do anything for me either.

But that “point” is when i blow all over the wad of folded tissue.

I know it’s an 11 year old joke but I laughed out loud.

[johnpost]

zombie or no

if you have enough sex you will likely find that not true.
