How much do you like to masturbate? (with poll)

Once a day for health and pleasure. More now into connecting it with meditation. Making sex a spiritual experience. What ever come first (meditation or masturbation) serves what follows. Meditaion first, raises the spiritual level of the orgasm. Masturbation first, releases tension and eases the no-mind of meditation. But this means, not with porn. Though you can do it with other men... without touching, to raise the intensity of the orgasm.

 

hope this isn't necro-ing, but damn, why have I not seen this thread before lol

 

The percentages are different because the genders of male and female are sharing the poll. However, the relative frequencies are about the same. It looks like the 2nd and 3rd option are the most popular for males and females. I'm squarely in the 3rd item described, and right before I go to sleep.

 

Usually about once a day. Sometimes a little more if I'm feeling in a particularly...well, you know...kinda mood. >><<

 

Usually every day, once or twice. Depends on how much stuff I have to get done.

 

I have the opportunity to masturbate pretty much as often as I like (I could fit in multiple per day if I really wanted to), but it seems to work out to maybe 3-4 times a week on average - usually spontaneously after seeing something that puts me in the mood, rather than planning beforehand and saying "I'm going to jerk off today".

 

It's too awkward when I'm at uni sharing a house so it usually turns into once a week, but during the holidays (especially when I'm home alone for whatever reason) it honestly does become multiple times per day. Often out of boredom as much as anything else.

 

Can't go to sleep? Masturbate

 

It used to be multiple times a day, but recently, it's more like...once or twice every few days. Even though I'm generally hornier as of recent (that happens when I'm stressed...), I don't have the energy or will to actually do anything about it.

 

I don't masterbate anymore .....then again I don't masterbate any less either.

Woke up with 'morning wood'? I know how to fix that.
Bored and nothing on tv? Look built in toy.
Cant sleep? Here this will help.

 

In that case it might help to multiply the female results by 4.5...

...after doing it apparently men masturbate more frequently, with coincides with something i read in the past

 

Maybe 2-3x in a week, plus fun time with my partner. Can vary with my stress level (more stress seems to translate to more horny) and amt of sleep (less sleep, less horny) and has changed over time, presumably due to age. Sometimes I'll resist the urge if I know my partner and I will be doing something in a day or two.

Edging (when there's time for it) can reduce the frequency, but sometimes has the opposite effect.

A couple of times a week on average... but for the most part, I'll kinda go nuts for a couple of days, and then not have the urge for up to a fortnight or so. That first one after each dry spell is always the best though hehe.

Anyone else like me though? Based on this whole thread, people seem to do it on a regularly-spaced basis.

 

Masturbation gets me sleep, I got morning wood and sometimes I'm bored so yeah... 3-4 times a day is average

 

Used to be almost every day, now it's more like twice a week due to being on meds that impact ability to orgasm.

 

Used to be once a day, with instances of multiple times a day for a while. I've actually managed to ween myself off of doing it so often, so now it's more like every 3-5 days, 5 only when I'm just really not horny or if no opportunity presents itself. But when I'm really horny, I sometimes go for 3 times in one day.

 

Usually once a day. Sometimes more if I a feel the urge

 

Once a day is nice. Sometimes, it's not even 100% sexually motivated, but the relaxation due to the chemical releases in the brain are wonderful for the mood, tension and stress. I see a lot of the responses by others reflect the same--some people do it to de-stress before attempting to fall asleep. It kind of goes to support the idea it can be a healthy practice--I just don't want it to become an addiction.

Incidentally, I am a bit concerned because I masturbate more now that I am older than I did as a teenager (when it was expected) because I grew up under harsh religious rule that made me feel extreme guilt when I gave into the urge. Now, I am pretty much an atheist and not bothered by religion, so I feel kind of odd saying I do it more now (given my age).

 

Daily. It's more than sexual pleasure, it's chance to get to know your body and have some time for yourself x

 

1-4 times a day. Usually 1 or 2, sometimes none.
