Obviously an orgasm is the whole point of masturbation. It's the climax. But usually I am finding that the actual act of masturbation is more pleasuring than cumming. As soon as I cum, I'm not excited about whatever it was anymore. So I love the mastubation on the way to an orgasm, better than the orgasm itself. Does that sound overly fucked up to you? PS: If you're female and horny message me now.
I'm the same, sometimes just thinking about doing that turns me on, because i've done it for so many years without female contact. Then when i'm done i'm like "right..............ok". I'm not actually sure if I like the act more than the orgasm, but I think I still enjoy the orgasm.
