Why Do You Masturbate?

It may seem like asking the obvious, but think about it - Why DO you masturbate?

When a person first discovers the thrill of masturbation it's more because of it being an entirely new sensation that they want to experience as much as possible, as well it being because it's something to do with 'sex' - an exciting new subject to them, and because the raging hormones are telling them to, so that's a slightly different matter.

However, for the more mature person there can be a wide variety of reasons for masturbating.

The first, and probably most obvious is most likely that of horniness, when for some reason or another they are extremely aroused (such as the famous 'Morning Glory', which all guys have experienced many times - and I imagine women have their equivalent) & have to masturbate in order to achieve some level of relief.

However, other reasons can be simply down to boredom ... or wanting to experience a sexual high. Others may plan to masturbate well in advance. This would clearly not be the result of a sexual need, but merely one of a desire for some pleasure - a bit like booking a table at a restaraunt a week or so in advance - clearly there is no way of knowing if they will be hungry at the time of the booking, but they still plan on enjoying the meal, nonetheless.

Many will masturbate a couple of hours or so in advance of having sex if they believe they are likely to fall victim to Premature Ejaculation otherwise, as this will often make them last longer.

Personally, I mainly masturbate for pleasure, rather than out of need. On the occasions I wake with an erection I will usually take the opportunity of masturbating, more because the erection is there than because the strain of it is demanding that I do so - I know from experience that if I simply ignore it that it will soon subside on its own.

Normally when I do choose to masturbate I like to settle down in front of the PC & choose some good porn clips. Most of the time in such instances I don't even have an erection, and I usually have to coax one. Once my penis is semi erect it's capable of penetrating my FleshLight, at which point it doesn't take long for a full erection to follow.

There are even times when I enjoy masturbating, but despite the session itself being pleasurable, for some reason or another (primarily as a side effect of epilepsy medication) I can fail to reach a climax, but as the climax is only the final 20 seconds or so of the session, that's not always a major problem.

So, after giving this seemingly obvious topic some serious consideration, what is it that makes YOU want to masturbate?
Do you have to be aroused beforehand?
Do you feel you need to masturbate in order to relieve tension, or is it purely for purposes of enjoyment?
Do you use masturbation as a tool to help you improve your sexual technique? Do you masturbate to avoid the embarassment of getting spontaneous erections at awkward moments (a technique I used to use before going for job interviews, after I developed a doozy of an erection during one interview, which I had to keep concealed under the desk)?

 

The only reason i have ever wanted to in all honesty, is to relax myself by getting my cum out. In other words i am a slave to my body's needs.

 

why, because my wife dislocated her shoulders

 

is this really even a question?

 

i do it because of religious crucifixions.


LOL seriously tho. mofos need to get off. simple

a better question would be.. does any women here want to watch me do it? :cheers2:

 

Thinking about the pleasure it gives me, I'd rather ask, why doesn't everyone on this planet masturbate?? Well, everyone except the ones making love - obviously they don't need to.

Plus, it can help to find one's own pace in getting to orgasm fast or slow, depending on the mood. I often apply the technique of lingam massages I received when masturbating to experience a very powerful (and wet) climax. That's certainly something making me go on pleasing myself (and also training my knowledge in pleasing lovemates the same way...)

because it feels good?

 

Feels good, saves me a lot of health troubles, and centers me. Haha

 

I think, judging by the replies, the initial question is being misunderstood.

The fact that we all masturbate is taken as read. The question essentially refers to the lead up to a masturbation session.

Do you only masturbate to ease horniness?
Do you only masturbate if you're already aroused?
Do you plan masturbation sessions in advance - whether you're feeling horny or not?
Do you have to work up to a masturbation session, coaxing an erection as you go?

Etc.

 

I only masturbate when I'm away from my wife, and its usally because I'm thinking about my wife! or if I need to go to sleep!

 

fells mad good. doing it while your high its the best

 

i masturbate with my ears because its hot








kidding

 

boredom. or when i just can't take it anymore because it has been a really looooong time since i've jumped someone's bones. which it has been. so yeah, you know, the typical reasons.

 

Masturbation to me could be a few things, I wouldn't necessarily separate them because they essentially are all the result of my exercising self love.

But to answer the question... I don't masturbate only for the sake of easing horniness, but I quite obviously DO so when I'm horny as well. I also don't always require an orgasm, though, I definitely did when I was younger(I guess that's a given, lol).

I sometimes plan my masturbatory session in advance because I might be busy with other things(like work) at the time. For instance, I may feel very aroused in the morning(which is common for me) but I may choose not to orgasm then. In which case, I'd set a time for it at a later time so that I could enjoy myself as much as possible.

Another reason why I masturbate is to practice Tantric masturbation. Kind of doing Kegel exercise and stuff like that. Don't get the wrong ideas, though. I'm NO super lover who can last for hours. That's totally not me, and that's essentially why I'm practicing Tantric masturbation. It's pretty enjoyable, but I don't do this too often.

Hope this helps.

 

it does feel good

 

I enjoy it.

 

I only masturbate when aroused, not very aroused though. When one of those "random erections" pops up I take care of it. It won't stop going up and down if I don't. It also helps relive tension. It helps me stop and think, or cool down when I'm stressed or angry.

 

Because it feels good, relieves stress, and makes my sex drive calm down a bit.

 

because we can

 

But who the fuck cares why he or she is masturbating? We need it (cuz it feels good, reliefs stress, etc.), that's why we do it - that's the answer.
