Poll: Masturbation and you.

[Silvianoshei]

1. Male
2. Not at all, anymore.
3. Engaged
4. Less, infinitely so.
5. Not if you're a virgin, no.
6. It used to be
7. If you've got urges you can't control, it's probably better to do it in moderation to make sure you don't go crazy. There are probably some health benefits, but I'm not a Proctologist so I don't really know much about it.

ASIDE: Chrome dictionary wants to convert Proctologist to Escapologist. VICTORY.

8. Absolutely. When I was younger, I admit I had a problem. But I was a horny little bugger too. Then I had my first relationship and got COMPLETELY screwed over. It lasted two days and half of it was a complete blur. I couldn't even get hard for a few weeks after that. After that the problem doubled in size (har har) and I eventually entered my second relationship...where I got COMPLETELY screwed over yet again. At this point, around 22 years old, I gave it up for good. I decided sex really wasn't worth the risk of taking a rusty hammer to the forehead repeatedly, and I chilled out completely. I found other stuff to think about. I opened a coffee shop after undergrad and invented custom iced tea drinks to be served in martini glasses. I did some improv and volunteered for Habitat for Humanity. I played some really great RPGs and spent time with my family playing World in Flames. Eventually, I met my current lady in med school, and now I definitely don't need it.

I now feel inadequate for not masturbating enough.. how does one go 7+ a week?

Haha, same! I feel like a nun or something. I do have a lot of dirty thoughts, I just don't have much of a need to do anything about it most of the time? Maybe it's because guys have more of a pressing need...

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

Looking at the results...
Jeez ladies... You are missing out.

I'm honestly not surprised though. Despite what people will tell you, girls in general have far less active sex drives than guys in general, they also have more trouble having orgasms. You hear about it everywhere, how many times do we see a film where guys talk about how they can't make a girl climax? Don't tell me it's because the guy sucks at it, all girls usually do is lie down and take it, which is just as boring for you as it is for us and besides, if you COULD orgasm if the guy was good enough then why don't you ever masturbate and make yourself orgasm? Because you just just can't have fun like guys can, that's why. Yes I know that this doesn't apply to ALL girls but it does apply to ALLOT of girls. Lesbians on the other hand seem to be more in touch with their bodies, I applaud them.

 

[miketehmage]

1. Male
2. Multiple times daily.
3. No
4. Probably
5. No
6. Sometimes when studying I get the urge to jerk it, and if I don't jerk it, I find it hard to concentrate.
7. I think physically it is healthy, however I'm beginning to think that I watch too much porn.
8. I have an easier time accessing porn. So.... yeah..

 

[Casper Thostrup]

I think masturbation is quiet normal in all cultures (at least when you become teenager and older), also masturbation is quiet important to do as it keeps your changes on getting prostate cancer and keeps your reproductive system up and healthy. Also it is a way to keep some sexual needs away for paedophiles and rapists, so you could day its healthy to masturbate xD

 

[DaKiller]

First let me get this out of the way:

1. Male
2. On average, 5 times a week
3. Single (ladies)
4. I suppose when I'm in a relationship (and not getting sex) I do it less
5. Yes (I mean I think, it's not like I've been graded)
6. No
7. Sex is healthy, and as far as my body knows it's the same thing
8. Meh, more or less the same

 

[dogenzakaminion]

1. Are you male or female?
2. How often do you do the deed?
3. Are you in a relationship?
4. If yes do you do it more or less? If no do you do it more than you usually would?
5. Do you believe it improves your performance in the bedroom or not?
6. Focus; does reduced/stopped masturbation decrease or increase your ability to focus on things?
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?
8. Is it different now opposed to when you were younger?

1. Male
2. 3-6 times a week maybe once a day.
3. Yes, long distance
4. If I'm with her I don't do it at all, but since I'm mostly without her: see point 2
5. Not really
6. Doesn't really improve my focus, but I lose focus on other stuff if I don't do it for a while
7. Perfectly healthy, probably a benefit to do it than to not do it.
8. As I got older it became more important to have fewer, better wanks than more frequent but worse wanks. Quality over quantity and all that.

 

[CriticalMiss]

1. Female
2. 7+ a week (I included mutual, not sure if that counts)
3. Yarp
4. Probably more.
5. It doesn't appear to make a difference.
6. Haven't really noticed.
7. I see it as stress relief, but don't think it has any long term effects.
8. In what way?

 

[ThatLankyBastard]

1. Male
2. Hehe, more then 7... WAAAY more then 7
... I get bored
3. Not currently
4. When I was in a relationship, it did not noticeably affect how many times I did it
5. I believe it does, but I have no proof as to if it does or not...
...
... there's never been a point where I could test whether i was better or not after not masturbating for a while
6. Focus; does reduced/stopped masturbation decrease or increase your ability to focus on things?
7. I think it's healthy...
... probably not to the extent I do it, but...
... It's a good stress reliever, if nothing else!
8. Nope...
... been doing it at a pretty constant pace since I figured out how to!
...
... why am i proud of that?

 

[mrseriousguy]

1. Male
2. 2-3 times a week
3. Yup
4. Slightly Less
5. Improves my stamina, plus exercising regularly goes hand in hand. (pun intended)
6. When I was younger I experimented with the 30 days without, focus did decrease. As I was thinking about sex more than the tasks I need to do.
7. It's healthy mentally I don't think about sex as much and it relaxing after a long stressful day.
8. Oh lord No marathoning, like I was when I was a kid. It's wam bam done. I have other things to do.

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

1.Female
2.It varies I'll go weeks without doing it and then one week I'll do it 3 days in a row. I do notice before I start my period I get more horny is that normal?
3. No never had a boyfriend...
4. Probably
5. Yes and no I mean I imagine it helps to know your body, but the actually act of sex will be different than masturbation.
6. Decrease it's like a stupid nagging itch that won't go away and makes sleeping impossible.
7. Healthy it's a naturally thing.
8. The technique has changed and as I got older I got more comfortable with my body. When I was younger I can remember praying to god to punish me for doing it. I use to think it was wrong and dirty, but as I got older I realized it was normal.

 

[Goofguy]

Sure, why the hell not?

1. Male
2. Around 1-2 times a day
3. Nope
4. I'd be doing it less in a relationship.
5. Absolutely, it improves my performance. My female partners tend to climax before I do, in no small part to this dirty habit.
6. I'd say it'd increase my focus at first but as time goes by, it would decrease as I get hornier.
7. Harmful or healthy depends on the quantity in which it is done. Based on my libido, age and stamina, I'd say it's healthy. It reduces stress, keeps the pipes working and it just feels damn good.
8. Of course it's different. Now I'm less sensitive and I'm not trying to be sneaky as I live alone.

 

[Rooster893]

1. Male.
2. Probably once every day.
3. Yes.
4. I do it more.
5. I would hope so...
6. Decreases.
7. Healthy.
8. A litte bit, but not much.

 

[Bamba]

1. Are you male or female?

Male.

2. How often do you do the deed?

Everyday, at least once.

3. Are you in a relationship?

No, thats why Im doing it.

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

Irrelevant.

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

Hell no. It has nothing to do with that, I would perform well in the bedroom with or without masturbation.

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

Stopping makes me a bit more nervous, and therefore yes, I become less focused on things.

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 its a bit healthy in general, but I dont do it for these kind of things.

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

Yes. When I was younger I was doing it much less often than now.


I would also like to add that Im doing it simply because I have to. Ive got no girlfriend, so theres no other choice for me but masturbate. There are probably sexual services out there that I could pay for, but I would prefer to have a real girlfriend, not a woman who only does it because Im paying her for it.

 

[Crazy]

1. I'm a pretty princess!
2. Way too much. Or not enough, haven't decided.
3. Define "relationship".
4. Does not compute.
5. Why of course!
6. Stop... masturbating?
7. Harmful? Just imagine the libido...
8. Probably, don't remember my younger years very well.

I really hope I didn't post here before.

Your answers seem to be quite vague. What do you mean "haven't decided" yet? If thats the case, then you should've skipped the question. Relationship means if you are in a relationship with someone, girlfriend or boyfriend. The sixth question refers to if you become more or less focused if you stop masturbating, and you didnt answer that properly. Like OP said you dont have to answer them, but if you do you should at least answer them more clearly.

Yeah, I guess thats possible too.

 

[piinyouri]

1. Male? Female? Both? I'unno. I have male bits as of this writing, so male I guess.
2. Probably once a week.
3. Yes
4. A little less.
5. No
6. Not sure how to answer this, though it kind of sounds like edging, which I used to do, and a warning to any out there, don't do it. If you go too far, the semen can travel back into you, causing injuries. It won't hurt in a physical way, but you can ejaculate blood for a few days. The physiological scars of that should be apparent.
7. I don't believe it to be either.
8. No.

 

[Bamba]

Guys. Just curious. How do you masturbate in a way that would prevent other people from catching you doing the deed? Do you, like, do it behind a blanket in your bed, or in the shower....or do you freely let people watch you performing the masturbation?
