Masturbation

Walkman

After reading and posting in the 'un erotic wet dream' thread I was discussing wet dreams and masturbation (not in a childish way) with mates last night in the pub.
The general concensus was that guys around my age (mid 30's) didn't masturbate as much as when they were in their 20's.
Im just wondering now am I in the minority who is married with kids but I still masturbate daily.

No need for childish replies or anything too graphic please.

Maybe not daily, but not far off!

Masturbation is such an ugly word, how about the phrase 'having sex on our own'

Walkman

What's ugly about it, its only a word?

boost creep

i rather think of it as 'handy sex'...

how about the phrase 'having sex on our own'

Or as Woody Allen says - "it's sex with someone you love" !

Daily when married seems a bit strange-do you have sex also?

So do kids talk about that sort of thing in the playground now?

Maybe not every day, but close enough. I can go a good few days without, whereas I couldn't when I was younger. Then again the mood would take me and I could do it twice or three times a day/row.

Can't beat the feeling of an orgasm :P

Was wondering when one of these responses would come about.
If you have nothing better to add move along

Course that's why I was wondering and asked the question.

About three times a day.

Nothing to add to the general conversation I just feel the need to pop in and mention that the ones when you can't sleep are the best and ensure a blissful slumber after :pac:

Possibly the best story about someone's first masturbation I've ever heard.

Serious question here, I've mentioned this to a few of my mates and they're either in the same boat or know somebody who is....

I'm left handed yet use my right for self-love - do most leftys do this??

I'm lefty, and no.

I think thats the whole "stranger" dealy some people do.

Nah...I use my right even though I'm left handed - any other lefty I've asked has been in the same boat as myself which is odd

I thought the stranger dealy is that you sit on your hand until it goes numbe then work away - never seen the appeal tbh

Why do that??
If your gonna look after yourself then have everything able to feel all the sensations, don't bloody numb or you could get carried away and cause yourself and injury :-p

Or you gotta love whoever first came up with that idea. I remember being in first year in secondary school being told that one!

By a girl too oddly!

I'm right handed and use my left. Don't think it has anything to do with stranger thing though. I open all bottles, doors etc with my left hand too.

The plot thickens....more research to be done....to the LAB! :pac:

The lab revealed the following:

According to a survey of over 10,000 males by the web site HealthyStrokes.com in the second half of 2007, 50 percent of right-handed males masturbate with their right hand, 11.7 percent with their left hand, 37 percent switch or use both, and 1.3 percent use no hands (primarily males with Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome, or TMS).

Among left-handed males, 47.6 percent masturbate with their left hand, 21.8 percent masturbate with their right hand, 29.6 percent switch of use both, and 1 percent use no hands.

Among ambidextrous males, 69.1 percent switch or use both hands, 20.7 percent masturbate with their right hand, 8.5 percent masturbate with their left hand, and 1.6 percent use no hands.

What is odd about these data is not that most males masturbate with their dominant hand or hands; rather, it is puzzling why almost twice as many lefties masturbate crosshanded (i.e., with the non-dominant hand) than righties.

I think I'd identify as ambidextrous. Lefty is the old reliable, but the right does get some action on occasion. Maybe learning to kick a ball with my right and left feet played a part?

Or Billy Connelly circa 1979, which is where I heard it first. I reckon there's Roman graffiti somewhere saying similar. And I just know there's Greek.

I use both TBH. Not at the same time, lest some think me boastful for structural reasons, though... But yea both. Frequency? At 44? It depends, but I'd say 6 times a week on average, sometimes 3, sometimes 10. NOt a lot of diff from when I was 25.

parker kent

I genuinely think there were weeks when I was 12 that I was getting past 21 times :pac:

What is Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome?

Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome (TMS) is the habit some males have of masturbating in a face-down (prone) position. Some TMS practitioners rub their penises against the mattress, pillow, or other bedding, or the floor. Some TMS practitioners lie on their stomachs and thrust into their hands.

What's wrong with masturbating in this fashion?

Masturbating face down puts excessive pressure on the penis, and especially on the base of the penis. These sensations are not easily replicated in conventional masturbation or in sexual intercourse. This can make TMS practitioners unable to have normal sexual relations. A survey conducted for this web site revealed that males who masturbate conventionally have sex 6.6 times more often than TMS practitioners.

Seemingly there is a bit of debate over the syndrome as it was only theorised in 2004. But it has been discussed in actual legitimate academic journals. That was an odd 10 minutes of research!

Using your right hand if your a lefty or vice versa is called cross dominance.

I eat crisps and hold myself with my left hand while urinating, and I'm a righty.

Disclaimer, (I don't eat crisps while urinating).:D.

About masturbation.

I own a sex toy site and 60% of the visitors to both my site and facebook page are male. And 70% of these are between 35-55. So it looks like its normal to masturbate when your middle aged or married. I know I do.

Bizzare, I masturbated this way as a youngster. I reckon this is due to me sharing a room. (for future reference parents, 11 year old boys need privacy).
I now masturbate with my hand. I have heard that it can cause problems like phimosis but not sure. Never really thought much about it.

€6 for a chocolate willy:eek: You get them in the george for free.:D

Just curious you say 60% of your visitors are men but what about customers?
Maybe your visitor count is mostly male because of the link from your boards sig which would bring mostly men.

suey71

I know most of my customers are men because I sell a lot of TENGA products.
The Tenga toys were designed to keep Japanese businessmen faithful to their wives while away on business trips(bought by wives for their guys).

You could be right about the sig, I never thought of that.
But what makes you think that most Boards members are guys?

My best friend talks about masturbation as if he's talking about the weather.He goes into detail about techniques etc.Im wondering should i tell him about this thread,i better not:).

Any of the gender polls I've seen normally have around 70% guys.

Or maybe the lucky few that are double jointed and don't need hands.

Damn that 1.6%.

I doubt 3 times a day would be considered a lot by most men.

I have at least 2 a day but it would just be getting rid of morning wood and then one to get to sleep. I'd only have one during the day maybe 2 or 3 times a week and they would be the only ones where I'm actually horny the rest are just practical.:D I think have a pretty low sex drive.

Is that 70% of Boardsies are guys or 70% of people that buy erotic toys are guys?
