Did you read the rest of my post? I don't really have sudden urges to do it anymore. If I masturbate, it's something I have to get myself to do, not something I suddenly need to get out of my system.
Well, me neither.
I usually only masturbate once a week or so, and that's about as often as I have sex, too.
Me and my husband both are not very highly-sexed individuals these days (although he masturbates more than I do).
And masturbation is the same thing as sex in that both lead to ejaculation, which makes further ejaculation more difficult in the near future. Since I would definitely want the best possible experience when I have the real thing, that wouldn't be a risk I'd want to take lightly.
I don't know how reasonable a fear that is; most guys can go again pretty quick, except old guys.
Maybe it's different for you because you're female. Males pretty much never have sex without orgasming, for one thing.
Yet they seem to masturbate a lot more frequently than females.
I think virtually all guys masturbate, including married ones.
My acquaintances and I talk pretty openly about such things, and I've never known a guy IRL who claimed he didn't.
Then again, there's no reason to lie about it, especially on the internet, so it's not that I don't
believe Harry (unless he's just afraid his wife will read his posts and get mad at him if he says he does).
I just think it's atypical, is all.
I always imagined there was
some small percentage of men who didn't masturbate, but i thought these were extremely religious individuals and the reason they didn't was rooted in some sort of weird religious dogma.
I always imagined there was a slightly higher percentage of females who didn't masturbate, and that was probably because they do not have orgasms (some women don't; I've known women who have never had one), therefore it would be a rather pointless exercise.
Perhaps I was mistaken and there are some people out there who just choose not to masturbate for reasons unrelated to those I imagined.
Obviously, it's ultimately up to each individual whether or not they choose to do it.
I think it's really healthy. It feels like it releases good chemicals in your body.
I don't think one should have to wait for or rely on another person when one wants to feel that way.
But that's just my two cents; clearly, opinions vary.
