Don't you find jerking off to be pretty weird?

There's nothing weird about masturbation. It's perfectly natural, it's clean and it's safe.

 

When I was growing up my parents ingrained it into my psyche that it was taboo, perverted, sacrilegious and only abnormal people did it. Also, if you played with your penis you would go to hell. I guess that's why when I started to get that "tingly" feeling before orgasm that I thought I was hurting myself or god was punishing me. I lived with the guilt and shame for the longest time, but kept doing it because it felt so good. After I forged past the "tingly" feeling, the guilt and the shame and had my first dry orgasm I never looked back. Fuck the guilt, fuck the shame, I don't care if I go to hell and if I was hurting myself I didn't care because it felt too damned good to quit and I haven't stopped since!!!

 

You left out that it feels REALLY GOOD and it's fun!!!

 

Masterbating is normal and fine. Enjoy it any way that works for you.

 

How can doing something that's feels so wonderful and natural be weird, been masturbating for 60 years and no intention of stopping,

 

I love masturbating. Definitely nothing weird

 

I definitely do not find it weird. So much variety. My fave has been in the shower recently with a finger in my ass, just need to get more coordinated LOL

 

Totally weird. But then again I don’t have a penis so....

 

It is a perfectly normal thing to do, very enjoyable, and only bad in my opinion if it is a substitute for sex that is available to you.

 

It is never bad, even as a substitute for available sex.

 

I'm sure men everywhere appreciate that about you.

 

You are right, I have always had the idea that masturbation for a straight man makes him during that action guy, a penis lover. But in case there is nothing else it is the second best.

 

Well it is my best feature, after all....

 

How often do you masturbate

 

I can identify with your view because for several years when I was young I felt the same way. I was a furious and frequent masturbator as all youths are but didn't want to see me hand stroking my erection while I did it. I either looked at pin up or soft porn mags so I didn't look at my hand at work or I kept my eyes closed and fantasised. Th cause of these was the ingrained guilt I felt at doing something which was, at the time, widely thought to be dirty, sinful and dangerous even though I knew and believed masturbation to be a common adult activity and entirely healthy! Only later did I shake off this guilt through an amazing sexual relationship with a woman who encouraged me to masturbate when we were making love. I cannot agree with the idea that it feels wrong to feel your penis in your hand and I never felt that way. One of the positives of masturbation (and there are many) is that no one knows how to please yourself as well as you do and it is vital in understanding and perfecting your sexual needs.

 

I've been doing it for well over 60 years and I see absolutely nothing weird or wrong with a heterosexual male stroking his erect penis and enjoying it. In fact, I even enjoy looking at my erect penis and hand while I'm masturbating.

When I have sex with a woman I want to feel her warm, wet mouth on my erect penis. I want to feel her labia gripping my erect penis as it slides in and out of her hot, wet vagina. This is completely different from the feelings and stimulation that I want when I'm masturbating. When I am masturbating I love feeling my erect, rigid penis. I love seeing my erect penis. I love seeing my cum shooting from my erect penis!! Loving your own penis and enjoying how it feels while you're masturbating has nothing to do with your sexual orientation. Stroking your own cock with your own hand and enjoying it does not make you gay!!! It's my cock and I love it. It's my cock and I love how it feels when I stroke it. It's my cock and I will play with it as often and as much as I like. This does not make me the least bit gay or even make me feel the least bit gay!!! I much prefer to have a woman stroke it, suck it or slip it in her vagina, but when that's not an option I use my hand!!!!

 

I've spent my life trying to get away from negative reactions to sex organs. Oh how I wish there were pussy galore for all men but there isn't, at least someone is busily into my share

 

This thread is a few years old but I’m compelled to respond.

I don’t know if OP was serious or just trying to provoke or what, but masturbation says absolutely zero about one’s sexual orientation. It is not gay. A male masturbates not because his penis turns him on but because humans are driven by nature to sexual release. It’s why we are the most successful species, a feeling so intense that it is going to happen with most people regardless of whether a sex partner is available. The definition of homosexuality is sexual conduct or desire between two (or more) individuals of the same gender. It is impossible for a lone person to engage in gay sex, just like it is impossible for a lone person to engage in straight sex. Nothing about OP’s arguments hold up.

 

I actually love the feel of a cock (mine and anyone elses).

 

It's my fall back position
All contact with others has ceased. I pull myself and love the feeling of my cock, love shooting sperm out. I'd rather ki had someone to vdo it with me and for me but my hand will have tone sufficient. I slip into depression if I can't do anything
