    For people who have had sex, which is more enjoyable?

    Really good sex is better then masturbation, if you are finding the opposite to be true, I would think it's something to do with bad chemistry of who you have been with, and/or a lack of communication between those involved.

    I agree with Sue, sex with someone you have strong chemistry with is awesome.

    Sex and masturbation are... different. I don't even masturbate for the same reasons I have sex. The physical sensations of masturbation are what you make them be. It can be very satisfying because you know your body and you know what you want to feel. It's a personal thing, even if your imagination brings in other people. It's you and your body.

    The quality of sex, on the other hand, depends quite a bit on the person you're sleeping with. If you have intense chemistry and you're insanely attracted to them and/or they really know what they're doing, it can be mind-blowing sex. If you love them and it's something more than just physical responses from your body -- there's also the emotional connection to take into account.

    But obviously sex can be terrible, probably more often than masturbation is terrible. So sometimes sex is worse than masturbating. Sometimes it's much, much better. And it's nice to have both.

    Okay. I was just wondering because I've heard that some people prefer masturbation because it's all about their pleasure. Which sounds really selfish to me.

    It is selfish. The core ingredient of sex is intimacy and connection. That's what makes it great; it's not all just sexual pleasure.

    they're both enjoyable in a different way
    If you're masturbating you set your own pace, you decide your own tempo, and i dont know what other person feels while jerking off but from my experience so far, the "feel good" feeling that i get from masturbation only happens near and around the orgasm and didn't last as long as sex

    Totally agree with this.

    While I haven't had sex yet, I can only imagine how good it is in comparison.

    all of this , I agree. (!)(!)(!)(!) in my experience, sex is great....when someone knows what they're doing, or better yet, "stimulating". its a bit of a learning process. masturbation's a private thing, though everyone does it. it could get boring playing with your first toy after a while.

    This.

    If you are finding sex less pleasurable than masturbation... More than likely you are doing it wrong lol

    Well I haven't had a lot of sex but I have had a lot of fantasies, and I've come to realize that life simply does not play out like a fantasy.

    So from my personal experience, I've had better masturbation sessions than actual sex with partners. I'd like to have amazing sex one day, but I just haven't got there yet.

    I will say that if you're doing a lot of wanking, at least you're not putting yourself at risk of getting any STIs.

    I agree. Even my sexual dreams are WAY better than anything else I've done.

    For me Both is enjoyable but it depends on the environment. Having sex with love one is preferable for me. If I dream for someone that I am having sex with her and am enjoying it then it 98% possibility that I will enjoy in the reality.

    Masturbation is also enjoyable when it feels me alone and starving for sex. lol

    Really good sex is better than masturbation, because it is an emotional connection between people. Bad sex can be considerably worse than masturbation.

    It's probably different for everyone. I masturbate almost every day, but prefer having sex over masturbation. I've been with a woman who masturbated 4 times a day, but we'd only have sex once or twice a week. I think masturbation for women is a lot gentler on the body than sex, and they can control the level of stimulation and orgasm, so it can be done more frequently, and without discomfort or pain. On the flip side, if I try to masturbate more than once a day, then I feel discomfort and even pain, lol.

    Also, I've been with women who don't get anything out of masturbation, and can only get off by having sex with someone else.

    As for me, the only orgasm I can have from sex is from prostate stimulation. For me to orgasm with my you-know-what., the only way is for me to masturbate. Even though having sex feels many, many times better, I just can't orgasm except by using my hand. While it sucks for me, all my partners seemed to be more than okay with it.
