Masturbation…. A necessity.

Absolutely! Regardless of our age, we need to be sexually active even if we only masturbate. We need to ejaculate to keep our sexual abilities healthy and relieve our stress…

 

I agree. I have been for years. Almost 60 now. I find it helps keep my anxiety down. My wife is even an advocate as quotes medical reasons for masturbation as you age.

 

Great answer!

 

I'm always masturbating when I'm on here.......

I'm 80 and have been masturbating regularly sice age 13 when I was shown how to do it properly by another lad..... He wanked me off by torchlight in front of 6 others, but that's a story I've put up on here already!

 

Let me check Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Oh never mind. Anyway, you should never feel ashamed of it whether you are in a relationship or not.

I remember growing up Catholic and being told that masturbation was a sin. Ok, sure buddy, whatever you say. My body, I'll do what I want and not feel bad about it.

 

Me too Amen brother Whats that saying. “ If you got them stroke them.”

 

And where is that story located? Cheers

 

A man has to do what a man needs to do. Its the same as plumbing in your house. You have to keeps the pipes open and used, or problems will develope. 74 and still masturbate daily for health .

 

I never heard that quote before, but couldn't agree more.

When I saw this thread, my immediate reaction was to quote my favorite movie, Interstellar. "No, it's necessary".

Now I pictured Ann Hathway asking, Cooper what are you doing and him saying, "Masturbating". The robot then says it's impossible with Cooper saying, "no, it's necessary".

 

Wise use of Masturbation can keep you where you need to be.I was long haul trucking and always Lot Lizards around, Whore Houses and opportunity to cheat every day. But so was the opportunity for VD and unneeded expense and the possibility of an extra kid. I am Hyper Sexiness and maybe nymphomaniac where it can easily preoccupy me from doing needed tasks and Masturbation is an easy way to stop extreme sensations and get back to normal and the extra sex energy can help with tasks or needed work to my advantage instead of being all eat up with fantasy and looking for pussy somewhere. I can still fuck ok and have heard my wife tell girls she knows that i am really great in bed, many bragging. Anyway i have three kids that look like me. I probably started at 4 when i was caught having fun in a platform rocker by my grandmother. I was to only kid so i played with me a lot. I didn't go blind and me and the cousins would play with each others dicks. Before you are old enough to come, you get dizzy at climax and would laugh at each other staggering around and falling down. We all grew up normally with girls to fuck and kids of out own. I have Not Cheated and think Masturbation when needed helped to prevent it. Or i was just too chicken?

 

Wait... what does being in a relationship have to do with the necessity of masturbation? You're not supposed to do it when you're in a relationship and where, exactly, is that "written?" Despite being married, I still masturbated even though I was getting plenty of pussy from my first wife, #1 poly wife, and #2 poly wife. If they weren't available, I was horny, didn't feel like searching for cock, well, time to spank the monkey! Same with my current wife; when I need to get off and I don't want to go through the shit I have to endure to get her to open her legs, I just whip it out and stroke it to a nice release, clean up, and go back to whatever I was doing.

I have never understood what the one thing has to do with the other... outside of women having this idea of how her husband is supposed to behave being married to her and, importantly, taking control of his ability to have sex including choking the chicken. And if she is telling him that he can't, shouldn't, and better not do that, hmm, do you really believe that he's going to stop doing something he's been doing before he even knew she existed?

 

Necessary is not the word I would use because you should do it if you're comfortable with it and enjoying it. Not everyone is. I'd phrase it as everyone should be comfortable doing it and enjoy it rather than that they should be doing it. That said, as far as important to a relationship, again, only if it's enjoyed by both parties. I personally, don't feel connected with anyone who isn't comfortable masturbating regularly and doing it together. So, while I never really think of it this way, that is kind of an important factor in a prospective mate. In my experience, it says a lot about a person beyond just their outlook on sex. The two partners I've had who were awkward about mutual masturbation were not very good matches in a lot of ways that figuratively speaking were kind of flip sides of that coin.

 

And, ideally, that would be nice. Life's realities speak differently. Masturbation is a taboo subject; it's been misidentified as a sin; it was considered to be a mental illness and some Draconian shit was done to males and females who were caught masturbating; women probably get shamed about this than we do. A girlfriend tried to tell me that I couldn't masturbate if I was going to be with her and I said, "Whoa... how do you get to tell me what I can do with my dick?" I grew up in a generation where you weren't supposed to masturbate and with the pie-in-the-sky bullshit that you didn't have to do that because there were plenty of men and women to have real sex with and, as such, if you masturbated, it was a dark, dirty secret that had to be hidden.

One should be comfortable with doing it. It's necessary as a part of self-care and self-love; it's nice and healthy and good sexual health is a necessity. You can do it alone or with others who don't have a problem (a) masturbating and (b) doing it in front of other people and that includes the man/woman you sleep with every night. I don't quite remember the moment I realized that if I expect someone else to get me off, hmm, that's a problem since good luck arranging that but, yeah, okay, I'd been doing it since I was nine and despite some guys saying that when you get a girlfriend, you have to stop jerking off and... y'all done lost your damned minds because jerking off feels good and if you're waiting for her to give you some so you don't wind up with blue balls, lemme know how that worked for you. Because, really, if you can't do it to yourself like this, um, isn't this a problem?

If you don't masturbate, that's on you; if you don't think it's necessary for your physical and mental health, that's on you; if you can't do it by yourself, that's on you; if you need someone's permission to get yourself off, wow, whew, ain't that some fucked up shit and more so when you're a grown-assed adult?
