quick poll on masturbation

[dee_cole]

I have a serious question here. Forgive me if it has already been asked.
Based on the assumption that we all have something in common here at Literotica BB. Those things being:
1)We are all into things of the erotic nature i.e. stories, audio, pics., porn,
2)We are all readers... which shows a certain degree of intellect and creativity - we all crave more than just to stare at cumshots while we get off.
3)We are not so totally obsessed with porn that we cant take the time to read BB post that deviate from sexual topics to stimulate ourselves.

That being said I will pose the question that I believe most of us are qualified to aswer. I want to know how often intelligent, insightful, human beings engage in masturbation. If it does not bother you to do so your gender would be helpful. Any other info (married,or single) only makes it more interesting
A. How often do you masturbate?
B. Do you relate it to how much sex you get or don't get?
C. How much masturbation would you say is too much?
D. Would you say that you are a sex addict or an orgasm addict?

 

[dee_cole]

I guess I should go first.

I masturbate daily sometimes twice. I get plenty of sex so I dont relate the two. I think that I masturbate to much but It keeps me happy. and I think that I am addicted to cumming ,well probably sex too.

 

[MADDOG]

I masturbate whenever I feel like it. That may be once a day, or 6. 2 is average I guess. I've gone a month without needed to, and during one horny faze I didn't sleep for 2 nights because I had to keep gettting up to wank.

I think if I had a woman to take care of me, I wouldn't do it except for our mutual pleasure. Or at least, not unless she wasn't close at hand to help me out.

How much is too much? When you start with a tan and finish as a pale skeleten from lack of sun and food, you know it's time to stop. Seriously, how can you have too much? I guess if your bits start to go red raw? Otherwise, so long as you can still perform your daily functions, I don't see why you can't do it to wake up, do get through boredom at work, to relieve stress, or to get yourself to fall to sleep.

I'd rather be having sex, but orgasms are cool enough.

 

[Patryn]

It depends on my mood and how busy I am. I know that might sound weird, but if my mind is occupied by other things, sex isn't on it. I'd say on average, about twice a week.

I haven't' had sex in over 8 months, so I suppose it's related to my not gettin' any. Though even when I do have sex regularly, I still do it on occasion.

How much is too much? I'd say you're fine unless it starts to interfere with work or other obligations, or you masturbate at inappropriate times. "Enough" is a different amount for everyone.

Loooove masturbation, his, mine, hers, theirs, ours, yours, its fun iddn't it?

You know Dee_Cole, I kinda like you, even though you have an underscore in your name thats a pain in the butt to work with. Always mistype it. You just have got to admire a guy who can take the crap as well as he can dish it.

Hayuhtun.

I forgot what the questions were and I'm too darn lazy to look them up, even if it just involves a lil bit of scrolling. So I'm just gonna wing it here.

I love masturbating. To me, its just an extention of the fantasies going on in my head. I love it when my StudMuffin watches me do it cause he gets himself so excited and that feels really good. I really love watching him masturbate. He is incredibly sexy when he jerks off, I'm normally awestruck when he does it.

Due to my StudMuffin's occupation, I end up masturbating a lot more than I have sex, cause he just isn't here for me to ravish. I would never confuse sex and masturbation because I cannot use anything on myself but flesh, and my fingers just aren't penis sized.

Oddly enough, I masturbate just about every night before I go to sleep, whether the StudMuffin is in residence or not. Even after we've just had sex.

 

[Juliangel]

At least once a day sometimes several times a day. My hubby runs a restaurant so I guess I can see a pattern. On the weekends when he is stuck at work I do masturbate more than I do during the week when he can be home more often.
I would say you can do it too much, if you are missing work and skipping meals because you cannot stop you probably need help.
Yes I admit I am addicted to sex, I would be in bed 24/7 if we won the lottery and didn't need hubby's income. he says that would kill him, I told him at least he would die happy.

 

[Shannon]

I don't masturbate everyday. It all depends on the amount of sex that I am getting. As far as how much is too much, I don't know. Depends on the person I guess. Sex addict.

 

[coolchick]

A) Depends... sometimes twice a week; sometimes three times in one day.

B) Yes, it probably relates to whether I'm getting it or not. If I'm occupied with having sex, I'm less likely to masturbate.

C) Hmmmm.... like the rest, I'd say if it interferes with your life/relationships, etc.

D) I love sex, but I'm not an addict. I love orgasms, but I'm not an addict. Mind you, I don't want to go without either, but I could if I needed to.

Sidebar.... I don't always think about something in particular when I masturbate. Sometimes I just simply think about the sensation.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Depends on the moon...

Or anything I can't finger....

Sometimes.... 6 times a day. Actually have done it in technical closets (wire rooms) in the FBI building. Sometime much less. Average twice a day, pretty good considering my current age. Much higher when I was younger. But always thinking and ready.

Not really - it's a need now - sort of thing.

I would neve suggest that too much is too much. Can't have too much fun.

Both - pardon the pun - but they go "hand in hand."

 

[OUTSIDER]

Masterbating is a lovely gift to give to yourself if you are bored/tired but not sleeping/stressed or just plain old horny.

 

[FlyByNyte]

Good question...
A. How often do you masturbate?
-- ATLEAST once a day...deepending on everything from, how my day went to how much I did it the day before, or if I saw my girlfriend, even if sex wasn't involved, seeing her is enough.

B. Do you relate it to how much sex you get or don't get?
-- Kinda goes back to the first one... before I met my main squeeze, it was always once a day, or more...regardless if I had sex or not.

C. How much masturbation would you say is too much?
-- I would have to say, my answer to that would be...one, if you are in pain.. stop...leave it alone. Or two... if you start shooting blanks, that would be enough for the day.

D. Would you say that you are a sex addict or an orgasm addict?
-- Well, considering I don't have sex nearly often enough to be addicted to it, but have plenty of orgasms.. I would say my hammer swings to the orgasm addiction side...

--Thank you, that is all I have to say at this point and time...

 

[FlyByNyte]

Oh, I forgot to say this.. I once masturbated 7 times in one day.

[dee_cole]

thank you all

Believe it or not, this is really helpful info. It's not the kind of thing you can bring up in the lounge at work and expect an honest answer. Amazingly this post is on a streak of people who are actually answering the question. I also did not know that there were other's who pleasured themselves as much as me. I don't feel so guily now.

I gotta run....I got something to do.(smile) But you guys keep replying'...the broader the scope da' better.
And Killer Muffin...just call me Dee, baby.

A Hell O A Question

And I thought I was the only one who thought about this...

To get it out of the way; Since 11 years old (I'm now 27) the longest I've gone without masturbation is 13 days. The most times I've maturbated in one day is 13 times (yes, I kept track, & there's a certain symetry there).

Masturbation is good, with or without someone. Doesn't matter if I'm getting it or not, I can still get it up, so why not? There have been times when I've had sex 5 times in a day when I want to jack off, and others (rarely) when I don't want to jack off at all. I always thought that I was addict, but reading these posts, I don't think that I'm as depraved as I once was.

 

[Jester]

A) Frequency varies alot depending on the circumstances. When I was with my last gf, I was too drained from sex to even consider masturbating (except when she was away for a few days). That was a while ago, though, so now it goes from about 2/day to every other day depending on how much visual and mental stimulation I've gotten that day!

B)Definitely. If I'm getting some regularly, I masturbate alot less. If I'm feeling up to it then, I'll grab the girl! W/out a gf (like now), the rate increases dramatically.

C)Too much is when it has negative consequences on the rest of your life OR when beginning to peel off skin.

D)Yes, please! Seriously, I would rather have sex anytime over just orgasming on my own. Besides, sex for me makes the orgasm sooo much better!

 

[SeXy ReDHeD]

Hi Dee.

A) I, on average, masturbate about 2-3 times per day, with each "session" averaging about 4 or 5 orgasms. It varies depending on mood, time of the month, stress level, etc...

B) The level goes down slightly when I have a partner.

C)Too much? You can never have too much of a good thing... unless like everyone else said, it begins to interfere with other things.

D) I would say that I probably am addicted to some degree... it's the easiest, quickest, and most pleasurable way to relieve stress.

 

[Whispersecret]

How often do you masturbate?
About 5 times a week.

B. Do you relate it to how much sex you get or don't get?
Not really. It's like any hobby. Sometimes I feel like doing it; sometimes I don't. Sometimes to masturbate to get sleepy. Sometimes I'm reading a sexy book/story and get excited...etc.

I don't look at masturbation as something that should be curtailed just because someone is in a committed relationship. While masturbation CAN be used as a substitute for sex, not all masturbation IS. Does that make sense? I mean, I'm currently getting great sex from my husband, as often as I'd like it, but I still masturbate occasionally. I guess everyone is different.

C. How much masturbation would you say is too much?
I'd agree with what most of the others said--interfering with normal life, physical problems because of it. Still, I think that there's still a gray area that I would consider "too much."

If I really had to choose a number...if one masturbated five times every single day, even if it didn't affect one's job or life in any way, I'd think that was probably too much. I just can't imagine that there wasn't something strange about you if you regularly did it that often. Of course, everyone has a different opinion of what's strange.

D. Would you say that you are a sex addict or an orgasm addict?
No. Although I really like sex and cumming, it's not hard for me to go without it. However, I am a bulletin board addict. I find it very very difficult to stay away from the board, and to log off once I'm on.

Personal note, I never masturbate with fingers or objects inside me. I concentrate solely on the clit. Nothing but a cock feels good in my pretty pink pussy.

 

[Alyrahh]

For me too, it varies. Sometimes twice a day, sometimes not for a week or two. It has nothing to do with how much sex I'm getting, it's a totally different thing to me. Besides, more often than not, masturbation is a part of the sex for myself and my partner.

I don't think it's possible to masturbate too much, as long as it's not affecting your professional/personal life. I think it's a healthy stress reliever.

And, yes, I think I'm addicted to sex/cumming.. or at least as addicted as the next person

Oh, and to answer the sex/age thing.. I'm female, and 27.
