Poll: Masturbation and you.

[DoomyMcDoom]

1. Male
2. Maybe once a week, depending, denial of obvious and easily found comforts strengthens character and improves the drive to do shit rather than sit around and wank.
3. No, not for awhile, I'm in a bad funk.
4. What masturbate while in a relationship, no, never *shifty eyes*, when a ***** tries to use sex to control you, deny her and wank more, trust me, it tends to get results, and by results, you ain't some whipped lil *****, whether the relationship lasts or not, it's best not to be under anyone's control.
5. only in that if you masturbate enough without lube, it deadens nerves and makes you feel less, this goes away after a time of not wanking, I've tested it, performance however is generally more of a skill meets experience, meets desire, meets self control thing, masturbation or not, you can only experience good "performance" if you put the effort into it that's needed.
6. Haven't really noticed a difference, though when I get to the point that I have to masturbate to stop my balls from feeling like they're going to explode otherwise, then well, no pain/discomfort is nice and helps me focus, but that's not exactly common either way.
7. it really depends on your point of view, your lifestyle, your diet, that sort of thing. All that wasted spunk has to be replaced somehow, and that takes a good deal of energy out of your body that can go towards other things, mainly in the form of protein etc, after all, the body does kinda prioritize procreation over a lot of things, and well, chokin yer chicken ain't exactly doing anything but lie to it.
8. I don't know, maybe it's become more of a utility to me to avoid certain pains and help reduce stress at times, rather than something that just feels good when nothing else in life did... Other than that, not really a different thing, I've just learned to not have to use masturbation as a crutch.

[Hagi]

The poll results are strange... Just saying... I mean come on... The male to female ratio on this website can't be THAT steep.

It's a thread about sex, that'll seriously skew the results.

Many women still don't feel comfortable talking about that and there's probably some fear as well about a guy sending them a "hy babe! Herd u alwayz horny lolololol! Wanna meet and screw? Btw here's pic of MR BIG so u can judge." message.

And yes, unfortunately that does happen.

 

[Iron_will]

I'm doing a bit of research and I'm inquiring about masturbation.

Oh man, I got to admit. I had a bit of a laugh when I read this line.

Yes that thing you secretly feel guilty about in your parents basement.

Hah, I don't feel guilty about it at all!

1. Male.
2. A least once a day.
3. Nope.
4. Nope.
5. Nope.
6. Nope, it doesn't affect my focus.
7. I don't think it's harmful. And I have heard it's heathly, but I wouldn't know from experience.
8. Yes, quite. I never wanked before I found out about it. Now though...

 

[AstylahAthrys]

Oh look, personal questions!

1. Female
2. Rarely. I'm on a medication that puts a damper on the whole sex drive thing. I certainly don't lack one, but it's much lower than most other women my age, I think.
3. Nope
4. No idea
5. Um. I actually have no idea.
6. Nope.
7. Absolutely I do, especially the reduced stress thing.
8. I started my antidepressants, which was when I was 15. I'm almost 21 now. So I hadn't really gone down that path much yet.

 

[David_G]

1. Male

2. Three times a week at most.

3. Yes.

4. I do it less. I guess that probably comes from having orgasms in another way.

5. Probably not.

6. It decreases it.

7. I think that it is necessary.

8. No, not really.

 

[Libra]

In the name of the moon...I mean science.

1. Male
2. About once a week.
3. Nope
4. I'd probably do it less in a relationship. Not that I would know (foreveralone etc etc)
5. I think it helps you to get to know your body. And guys can learn to last longer
6. I really don't focus less depending on masturbation. I'm a pretty focussed person
7. I believe I read somewhere it's healthy for sperm to be 'recharged' once in a while. Other than that, I doubt it affects anything.
8. Not really. I just have a lower self-esteem now that I know it won't grow anymore

 

[Frungy]

1. Are you male or female?

Male

2. How often do you do the deed?

On average about 7 times a week.

3. Are you in a relationship?

Yes, married.

4. If yes do you do it more or less? If no do you do it more than you usually would?

Less than when I was single.

5. Do you believe it improves your performance in the bedroom or not?

Definitely, on several levels. It reduces the urgency of sexual relations, allowing for slower, more considerate sex. My wife also has a lower sex drive than me, so on nights when she just wants to cuddle I don't feel irritated.

6. Focus; does reduced/stopped masturbation decrease or increase your ability to focus on things?

I definitely find myself more able to focus for the rest of the day after masturbating in the morning.

7. Do you believe that is is harmful or healthy? I.E. Reduce chances of certain cancers, mental health, stress or makes you go blind and grow hair on the palms of your hands?

Done correctly (light grip, varying angles, using a good lubricant, etc) it is no more harmful or unhealthy than regular stress. For those trying to have children it improves sperm quality, and for those just trying to blow off steam it reduces stress.

8. Is it different now opposed to when you were younger?

Now it's more of a routine than an obsession.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

1. Male

2. Usually once per day. If I'm bored though I'll do it like 3 times a day.

3. Nope

4. If was sexually active I'd imagine I'd do it less. But I wouldn't know.

5. I think I'd do better the first time around then the other fella who has never experienced climax.

6. I dread it if I don't masturbate for more than a day, because I'll get stuck at or school and get an urge to do it. Though I do remember when Starcraft 2 was released I went without it for 8 days.

7. It's stimulating, it feels really good, and it reduces the chance of prostate cancer. What's not to love?

8. I apparently started doing it pretty early, 5th grade I think. Only thing that changed was now I do it more often.

Our neighbors kid, 8 at the time, almost walked in on me doing it. I got my cloths on just in time for him to walk in. By the skin of my teeth, it was that close.

 

[WhyBotherToTry]

Questions about my personal life? Sure, why not.

1. Male
2. Varies. If I go through periods when I'm really busy I might go a week or two without doing it. Other times, I might do it every day, though I try not to
3. Nope
4. Never had a relationship so I can't say
5. N/a
6. Again, varies. If I go a long period without doing it and don't think about it, I'm usually ok. Other times when I do start thinking about it I can't concentrate at all
7. I believe it's only unhealthy if you do it all the time.
8. As in has my technique changed? (It hasn't) My attitude towards it hasn't changed either.

 

[HotPinkCrayola]

I can't vote cos I don't not do it, but I don't do it that often anymore.

1. Are you male or female?
Female.
2. How often do you do the deed?
Once every couple of weeks.
3. Are you in a relationship?
Yes.
4. If yes do you do it more or less? If no do you do it more than you usually would?
Heck of lot less these days, if you don't count masturbation during foreplay.
5. Do you believe it improves your performance in the bedroom or not?
Yes/no. Yes because if I know what I like I can guide him towards what works, but also no because, well, the mister went through a phase a year or so ago of masturbating at silly times and then not being able to have sex...
6. Focus; does reduced/stopped masturbation decrease or increase your ability to focus on things?
Not anymore. I've kinda grown out of the fascination with my vagina tbh.
7. Do you believe that is is harmful or healthy? I.E. Reduce chances of certain cancers, mental health, stress or makes you go blind and grow hair on the palms of your hands?
I think it's perfectly healthy. Good stress relief too.
8. Is it different now opposed to when you were younger?
I used to masturbate like crazy when I was younger. Discovered it at 12 and was at it almost daily, continued up to being about 17, then I got my first boyfriend and sex took over, so the desire went away. Nowadays (I'm 25) I can rarely be bothered to tell you the truth!

As for sexual disasters - I once dislocated my little toe during sex. I had my feet on his shoulders and slipped. Painful - my toe was bent out at a 90 degree angle to my foot, although I just snapped it upright and kept on going. It still causes problems though cos it pops out of place fairly bloody regularly in the middle of normal activities such as walking!

 

[Proverbial Jon]

OK I wasn't going to do this but after reading a few posts I have this strange compulsion to share...

1. Male.
2. Varies. Not usually every day, maybe every 2 or 3.
3. Not currently in a relationship.
4. Relationships have never affected how much I did it. Although I've never had sex with any of my partners.
5. N/A
6. When the urge is upon me I have to release the tension or else I cannot concentrate. However I don't consider frequency to be a factor.
7. I don't think there are any health benefits or risks.
8. I very rarely get excited about the prospect of masturbation nowadays. It's mostly just something I have to do because, god dammit, I'm aroused again. Such a chore.

 

[Fleischer]

1. Make
2. I haven't since before Christmas.
3. I'm married with a son due next month.
4. I tended to masturbate about as much when I was single. I have a fairly high sex drive, so I tend to "outpace" my wife in terms of desire; however, I haven't masturbated in over a month since my wife's sex drive has bone ballistic. The hormones make her incredibly horny; she calls them whoremones.
5. Yes. Knowing what pleases you is incredibly important when you have someone else involved.
6. When I have pent up sexual energy, I struggle to focus. So having sex and/or masturbating increases my ability to focus.
7. It's healthy, to a point. Like anything taken to excess, it can be detrimental to your life. i.e. - if you exercise too much, it can hurt you.
8. Yep. I know how to control myself much moreso.

2. almost every day
