You can get one molded into the exact shape of your wife's vagina, though.
Seriously! They make custom ones. :lol:

What I always wondered, though, is how do guys clean those things out?
Can you unscrew the handle end, or what?
I mean, if not it must really start to stink after awhile.

That's really strange to me, Harry.
Not saying I disbelieve it; I've just never heard any guy claim such a thing before.
Maybe you'll start again someday.
Masturbating doesn't really have anything to do with how accessible sex is or how often you have it.
If it did, few women would ever masturbate.

I just think it's a nice thing to do for yourself. Alone.
How often do we really take the time to be nice to ourselves: to look at ourselves without judgment or criticism or anxiety, to touch ourselves for some reason that doesn't involve routine maintenance?
Plus, it's a matter of independence and autonomy.
Why depend on somebody else, when you want to have an orgasm?
If nothing else, it puts a lot of needless pressure on your partner, who might not want to have sex at the exact minute you want to, but who also might not want to feel that she's letting your needs go unfulfilled, because you aren't capable of or willing to fulfill them yourself.

If a guy said, "I used to cook, but now I don't have to, because I'm married", we'd all feel really sorry for his wife, you know.

It's pretty crazy but I'm not all that demanding when it comes to sex, mostly because of the nature of my work I'm usually to tired.

It was an awkward situation where she saw me in the shower and informed me that I didn't need to do that.
At first I was kind of happy/sad about it but it really doesn't cross my mind much anymore.

Last time we talked about it, she said it wasn't necessary for me to withhold from doing it.
I just don't. :shrug:
 
What does everyone think their avg is? (how often) and is that impacted by being single or not?
I dont think it is unless of course you are married and sleep together then by default the number would go down some because your partner is more accessible. :D

I think about 3-4 times a week, sure it can higher or lower, but I think thats the average. And I actually think that I do it more when I'm going out with someone. When I'm with someone I usually have sex on the mind more, and when sex is on the mind, and your not with your partner, things happen ;)

This is a follow up/relation question to my other poll
What is a good age to have the FULL sex talk?

I started around 11 I think. Between 16 and 22 it was something I did frequently...like three times a day in addition to having sex. If I was bored, I would masturbate. If I was awake and couldn't sleep, I would do it which actually led to me developing the habit of masturbating before going to sleep every night.

My boyfriend had a hard time understanding that habit when we first started living together. Now it's just quality time we spend together before bed. :D

I do something similar, and have since I was a teenager. I don't physically masturbate before going to sleep (as in manual stimulation to orgasm), but I kind of mentally masturbate in the sense of fantasizing. Probably only women would get that. And even then, maybe not. I'm probably just a freak, but I'm okay with it. ;)

I actually have a harder time getting to sleep when someone else is in the bed because it's difficult, if not impossible, to do it if someone is there.

Well thats simple because I found that its the best way to get real answers and even if the poll is spammed you can still see the real results. And again this is hardly a public forum, nobody here really knows me

Dont know if a care just curious, making conversation and it ties back to the other threads and myself and my kid. Just confirmig what I already knew im my mind but figured would still be interesting.
 
Looks like me and Camlon are the only odd men out.

I'm kinda disappointed that nobody else ('cept maybe centrist77) seems to be as fascinated by this topic as I am.

I find it pretty hard to believe that I'd need to masturbate if I had access to the real thing. I only do it about once a day as it is, and even that isn't something I feel I "need".
In fact, I would probably find it difficult to do both in one day. It's already a bit of a job to to just one in one day, and I wouldn't want to risk having more difficulty doing the other later.

Then again, this is contradictory to how I used to be, and I've become oddly asexual lately. I'm not sure whether that's a growing up thing, or (more likely) that part of my biology went into hibernation after realizing all those urges weren't getting me anywhere.

Your wife might not feel like having sex every time you did.
You might be arguing or have some disagreement or feud going on, that you don't feel like resolving at that precise juncture.

Besides, masturbation is not the same thing as sex.
Sometimes, one might prefer to masturbate.
It's much quicker than sex, and one doesn't have to get all sweaty, and one doesn't have to worry about another person's needs and feelings, and it's just nice to be alone sometimes.
To me, masturbation is not an alternative to sex. It's a whole different thing.
For one thing, I don't have orgasms from sex (only from oral... and even with oral, it sometimes takes me 15 or 20 minutes to cum, which is not that fun for my husband because his tongue gets tired, whereas with my vibrator it only takes like a minute or two). So masturbation definitely has its appeal.
But it would anyway, even if I had multiple orgasms every time I had sex.

I just think masturbation and sex are both necessary (at least for me) to be a healthy, well-balanced person.
Intimacy with one's partner is nice; it strengthens one's relationship.
But intimacy with myself is important too.

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 (this in contrast to prior years, as I said earlier). Maybe if I went weeks without it I would feel differently, but that has yet to happen. 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.

Maybe it's different for you because you're female. Males pretty much never have sex without orgasming, for one thing.

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).

I don't know how reasonable a fear that is; most guys can go again pretty quick, except old guys.

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.

Gary's never been into the masturbation thing. I really haven't either.
It's not like either one of us is against it or have never done it but orgasms are always better when we make love.

Just last weekend I fell asleep for about 20 minutes and when I woke up I was on the verge. All I would have had to do is squeeze my legs together. That would have been it. I waited until I felt like it was safe to move and went out to the garage to tell Gary he was needed inside.

I think for some people masturbation is an important part of their life but for other people it's not. The quality of orgasms I have when we make love is phenomenal.

Eh. If I'm right and my libido's just hibernating, then I'll probably end up with a different perspective on this once it comes out of hibernation.

As for guys who do not masturbate. As I said in the first post in this thread, I don't think the urge to do it exists until it's been done at least once. If you haven't ever done it before you probably won't have any urge to.
