Question Masturbation?? - April 15th 2010, 08:36 AM

Hey guys, I was thinking about this the other day, and I was just curious...
I feel embarrassed to ask....
I have never masturbated in my life and I was just wondering why people do it? how you do it? how often?
Basically, I know nothingabout it and would like some information! :-s

People do it because it feels good. Because its a release of tension. It releases endorphins that put you in a good mood. Its a replacement for sex. People do it for a lot of reasons.

Masturbating is completely normal, and I feel its important to explore and know your own body and know what you think feels to in order to have a satisfying sex life.

Its hard to explain how to masturbate... I think most of us discovered it on our own lol. But if you think you need tips, trying google and see what you can find.


When reality is a prison, your mind can set you free.

We can't REALLy give you tips,but google is your friend here Basically...masturbation is pleasuring yourself. So whatever feels good for you is masturbation. And the best way to find out what feels good for you is by exploring and experimenting. There's no REALLy right or wrong way to do it (as long as, obviously, you're not doing something immoral or illegal with it )

Honestly, I was just as clueless as you were, and didn't even try it until after my boyfriend and I started sleeping together, because I saw what he did and how it felt.

As has been already said, it's against TH's policy to give 'Tips' - but Google is a great friend here! As for how often, some people will do it every day, some people will do it twice a day and some people will do it once a week to once a month. It's realy up to the individual.

But yeah, the main reason is that it is a release of tension (sexual tension mainly), it can make you feel 'happier', and it can also help you sleep =] Sometimes when you first start, you feel a bit weird and un-natural, but the uneasiness will fade eventually

Must have been a miracle
It's been one hell of a ride
Destination still unkown
It's a fact of life: If you make one wrong move with a gun to your head
You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead.


I'm a runaway train on a broken track
I'm the ticker on the bomb that you can't turn back
Thats right.
I got away with it all and I'm still alive.
Let the end of the world come tumbling down.
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
As long as hot blood runs through my veins
I'm still alive.

Masturbation is used to please yourself or release sexual tension. Also, has been proven to help release stress and help you sleep.
-Again said before can't tell you exactly how to do it-
As for the how often, I do it every night (except on my period) for the sleeping benefit of it. =)

Re: Masturbation?? - April 18th 2010, 07:34 AM

Hehe. I do it 2-3 times a day on good days, and at least once a day on the bad ones.

For me, it's a distraction or stress-relief when it comes to the bad days (granted I get insanely horny after being sad ) and on the good days, it's a way of feeling good and relieving sexual tension.

I also like it because it's shown me what feels good for me, and I can translate that to my boyfriend when I'm ready for him to touch me. Just like when boyfriend was over, he showed me where he likes to be touched.

It's normal and healthy, but it's not for everyone. Not everyone does it, and that's just as normal! Whatever you feel comfortable with or are interested in doing... One thing I'd suggest though is maybe taking some time to examine yourself in a mirror. Familiarise yourself with the down there. Then you can start to learn what turns you on, be it erotic stories, porn etc. And then... experiment! It's not always going to feel great. It's really trial and error. But Google can provide you with many tips that can have you well on your way to pleasuring yourself.

Re: Masturbation?? - April 20th 2010, 12:51 AM

I honestly can't stand it unless I'm horny as hell. & even then, I still haven't been able to find a way to "please" myself. & I honestly get horny when I'm around people who are not afraid to act very sexual and act/be horny as hell. So this past week I kinda tried a few times, one of my friends even gave me pointers, and I just can't seem to get it. It really depends on you though, as to what works for you and whether you even really like it or care to do it or not.

If you'd still like it closed feel free to shoot me a PM. I'm cool with keeping it open if you'd like more replies though.
