    How often do you masturbate? What is your preferred technique?

    Whether you're in a relationship or not, how often would you masturbate? What are your reasons for this and how do you masturbate?

    Normally I masturbate everyday or every other day. If I'm really tired or stressed, it might be less often, though stress alone actually can make me masturbate more often, as it's a great way to relax. Sometimes when I've been really stressed I've masturbated twice a day. And being in a relationship doesn't seem to affect things. Having a good sexual relationship actually makes me think about sex more so I masturbate more often. It's not like their some limited supply of horniness that gets used up; the more orgasms I have, the more I want.

    If I'm alone, I usually masturbate by lying on my back and penetrating my vagina with my fingers while rubbing my clitoris with my fingers. I use saliva and my vaginal fluids to lubricate my fingers while rubbing my clitoris. If I'm home in my bedroom I often use sex toys to penetrate my vagina and anus. I've tried vibrators but i don't really like them. (The buzzing bothers me.) I usually just use a couple of large dildos. If I'm relaxed at home with my toys I can usually ejaculate at least once or twice.

    Sometimes when I at work I'll get so horny I can't concentrate on work. So I shut my office door (I have a private office) and masturbate by pulling my skirt or dress up, pulling my panties down to my knees or ankles, and fingering myself. It's kinda risky so I only do it when I'm really horny but in a way the risk makes it more exciting.

      I've masturbated since I was 4. Yes, its possible lol. Studies have shown infants do maturbate because it is pleasurable. Of course I had no idea what I was doing, but I definitely remember achieving an erection and orgasm with a way I took sensitive refractory period. Same as an adult just without ejaculation of semen or emission of precum. I didn't start ejaculating until I was 12. As a kid I would always hump the floor, bed, or sofa cushion thus I masturbated in the prone position until age 14. That summer my 13 year old uncle introduced me to internet porn and while I heard kids talk about manual masturbation, the idea of lube never occurred to me so it wasn't until then that I tried manual masturbation. I much preferred prone humping but using my hands allowed me to see my ejaculation for the first time.

      Today my preferred method is still humping pillows using either a condom or plastic fold top sandwich bag to cum in to reduce any mess. But using pillows you can experience missionary, woman on top, and doggy style positions.

      I will occasionally masturbate manually, and very recently do it without lube cuz its even simpler. As far as lube goes, olive oil is by far the best followed by vaseline. Lotion and baby oil are not advisable and KY jelly is terrible cuz it dries so fast. Saliva also tends to dry fast and also reduces friction too much so you don't feel anything.

        Oh as for frequency since age 25 or so I've masturbated about 10 times per week. Some weeks only once a day other weeks almost twice a day. In college it was just daily and in high school only about 4 times per week. Which is weird cuz I've gotten hornier as I've gotten older. I'm 31 now.

          I masturbate about once a week... my wife doesn't really like it if I masturbate between sex, but I do it because I need relief and it feels good....
          Yesterday afternoon wife was out with a friend and I lay on the bed and masturbated manually. I usually unfold a handkerchief and place that on my stomach to catch my ejaculate - but yesterday I played with one of my wifes scarves... it's my favourite one and I think it is very sexy. I rubbed it around my genitals as I was masturbating and I ejaculated very quickly, and thank god I didn't get any on her scarf! I put the scarf back in the wardrobe and she doesn't know a thing...

            You're a naughty boy using your wife's scarf!! Lucky you didn't make a mess on it. I wonder how many people do things like this and their partner is none the wiser!! You certainly made me chuckle reading your reply.

            When I was young I didn't like knowing a certain boyfriend at the time was masturbating. I can't explain why but I guess I felt it meant I wasn't meeting his needs. Now after many years and becoming older and wiser I see it as being a completely natural and healthy thing to do and I too masturbate regularly. We don't hide it from each other. I generally tell him what I've done and what I was fantasizing about as I was doing it.

              Married 23 years, for the last 10 or so it has been a great part of our sex life. If we are having sex a lot, I seem to need to do it more. Definitely have incorporated it in our together time as there are only so many hands to go around. If she's playing with her boobs while I'm down on her, I will sometimes work on me with one hand and her with the other. I love that my wife does it, especially when I am not around. It is hot knowing she, at any time, while I am working or otherwise occupied, gets horny and pleases herself then and there. She also tells me about it, and I her, usually whispers in the ear about it while we are having intercourse or getting/giving manual. Sometimes in a text.

              But in the first half of our marriage, it was pretty private. We just grew into discussing and then incorporating it.

                i used to masturbate almost daily. as my wife and i have worked on things, our frequency of sex has increased and masturbation decreased. now i do it a couple times per week. i usually just watch some porn on the computer and stroke my ****. i recently discovered prostate stimulation during masturbation and i am like a teenager again. the intensity of the orgasm is sooooo much better. almost every time feels like the best i've ever had. wish i had discovered this 20 years ago.

                  Maybe once or twice a week. Depends how i feel. Usually if i go between long times of seeing my SO. Longer I go the more I want to do it.

                    I never masturbate. In fact, masturbation don't work for me.

                    I first tried it in my mid-teens and it didn't work then and still don't. I've never had an orgasm from masturbation.
