I can't imagine anyone doing it for recreational reasons.

I mean, really.

Now I don't masturbate every day, but I would never deny doing it, maybe a couple of times a week, but I'm very sexually active with my g/f (of 10 years no less), so masturbation is really a tool for me for a sleep tool :p

Masturbation is fun, easy, and free. And good for you - it relieves stress; it even helps reduce a man's chances of getting prostate cancer (too lazy to find the link). And it helps keeps you faithful. Better that I fantasize about and masturbate to my conquests than fuck up my marriage.

I often rub one out in the shower in the AM, or if the wife's not feeling well, or when I'm alone in the house and have some new porn. Any time's a good time for an orgasm!

The only time in my entire life I ever didn't masturbate was at boot camp, for obvious reasons. I had one of my only wet dreams there, though, about my gf back home. I hadn't come in like two months; talk about MESSY.

No, GetCool, you're not the only one! I'm no expert, but I dare say you're more well-adjusted and have a healhier attitude about your body and your sexuality if you masturbate and aren't afraid to admit it.

My wife is one of those people who really didn't masturbate growing up. Her mom never talked to her about sexuality, and she says it just never occurred to her to try it. Hell, she was so inhibited when we first got married, she wouldn't even take a dump if I was home! Nowadays, if I ask her to masturbate for me while I go down on her, she does so gladly, and life is good.

Jerk to your health, boys and girls, it's good, clean fun!

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt, my beamish boy, and you've just paddled over to the shore. Step right off and let the rest of the poor, self-deluded souls drown in their own emotional backwash!

You'll get all the documentation and whatnot later, but for now just recognize that your life's going to be a whole lot more satisfying because you don't lie to yourself and you recognize that fault in others (and it bothers you; that's good , it should!).

We don't live all that long, so why waste time on bullshit?

Honestly, if your friend was telling the truth, I'd be more afraid of someone who really, truly doesn't masturbate than someone who does. Ever hear of Ed Gein?

Repressed sexuality, rage, frustration, denial, build up in people and create really bizarre psychopaths and sociopaths. You don't still hang with this dude, do you? If you do, I'd buy a gun!

Be cool, GetCool!

Years ago when I was in the Marines, after Boot Camp and school, I went to my first duty station. 18 years old and not really sure what to expect I was sent in to meet the Top (Master Sergeant). While he was looking over my orders he looks up at me from his desk and says, "Do you masterbate?" Dumbfounded by the question, I said the first thing that came to mind "Yes". He then stood up took my hand and shook it saying, "Good. Because there are two kinds of people in the world those that do and liars. Nice to know which one you are."

(How 'bout that, I didn't know any of the Beastie Boys were Marines...)

There are people who don't masturbate, mostly women and girls. I'm sure there are also some guys that don't, though they must take an occasional rub and feel.

Come on, man. If you jack off, would you tell the world? Or would you prefer to keep it private? The main difference is that everyone has to take a shit, but masturbation is strictly voluntary. But both are private matters that shouldn't be discussed to others.

[Link]

I'm not saying that it's likely that a random person on the street who says they've never masturbated actually hasn't, but it's certainly possible that they're telling the truth. There are some people who, honestly, have never consciously done this. (By saying conscious I discount such things as wet dreams.) Most often those who are very strictly religious, and most often women.

So, just automatically saying that somebody must be lying if they don't "confess" is making a little bit of a hasty judgement, without knowing anything more about the person or their background.

[Link]

Of course, we don't go ahead broadcasting it to every Tom, Dick & Harry (or is it hairy dick?); GC stipulated that it wasn't a case of everyday conversation. By inference, then, the conversation in question is anomalous.

First of all, someone has to be curious, crass, or otherwise predisposed to having broached the topic. We don't know what the questioner's motivations are.

We are not made aware, either, of whether or not the general public is involved, as when the exchange occurred on the sidewalk of a busy thoroughfare, or at a party where complete strangers or slight acquaintances are within earshot.

Certainly, your response in these different scenarios may be different.

Now, let's say you're at that party and you've had a few. WOO-HOOOOOO! You're feeling good, talking loudly, every damn thing everyone says is the funniest shit you ever heard and someone says, "Hey, buttface, how many times a day do you pull yer pud? About a thousand?" And you yell back, "I don't, ever since your mother started doing it for me!" BWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!!

You do have a designated driver, don't you?

And no, by the same logic you can't automatically assume, 100%, that the person in question is telling the truth when they say "No, I really don't. Never have. Never cared to. Does that make me weird? I'm weird then, so what?"

We can only assume that some do, some don't, some do it a lot, some a little. But if you can say "no", and mean it, you probably convey much of that in your tone and your body language. I could tell that when my wife told me she didn't, and never really had, she was telling the truth.

Some of us are more able to pick up on that, or are more gullible, or trusting, I don't know which. But, I had no reason to doubt her then, nor has new evidence surfaced in the interim to suggest otherwise. I know she's used a vibrator a few times because I was working on a contract that had me travelling for days, sometimes a week at a time, for the first time in our life together. She got horny, understandably, its a common enough compulsion especially when you're accustomed to being brought to orgasm several times a week.

And just because I, for one, don't embarass easily and would be more willing to volunteer sensitive information about items of questionable taste such as the size, bulk, color and odiferousness of my morning dump, doesn't mean everyone should or does. However, the shame factor is often counter-productive. It's a matter of prioritization of the importance of these details in the grand scheme of your life, the lives your actions affect and to some extent, society in general. Under what circumstances is steadfastly maintained decorum a burden?

Good judgement tends to be learned, not taught. When the Marine NCO asks you a delicate question that he's going to base your trustworthiness on in a life or death situation, you'd better tell the truth or be a convincing liar. In those scenarios where the solution is not necessarily the one you prefer or assume, we have to learn the accepted lie, or conventional wisdom. It's not the same thing as good judgement, and varies from culture to culture, group to group.

It really harms no one to volunteer this information, though, regardless of the answer. The trick is to either tell the truth, or tell the lie with a straight face. It demonstrates your capability to operate within a structured environment and is often a rite of passage for some organizations or entities, and it shows that you're able to think on your feet based on the givens in your scenario.

Your answer will and should differ based on location, proximity to others, your relationship to them, your own personal agenda including but not limited to what you stand to gain or lose based on your reply, the identity of the questioner and their relationship to you and what their motivations are for asking.

Your doctor, your wife and your best friend may get three totally different answers; this is where a combination of good judgement and conventional wisdom come into play.

Whatever, methinks this is becoming a buzzkill. I bring you love! **POOF**

1) Just very naive - whether he has masturbated or not unless he has lived under a fucking stone all his life he should realise that this answer is not going to prove acceptable and will lead to a thousand further questions. The real hallmark of the naivety though is that people who claim to have never masturbated seem to think this will gain them kudos when in actual fact they are just seen as either liars or abnormal.
2) A liar + naive
3) Very sexually repressed + naive
4) Hormonally abnormal + naive

I accept the situation for the girls is different on many levels but for blokes such an answer would immediateley mark someone out to me as not a good prospect for future conversations

SNP.

Edited as I'd been staring at my spelling of liar (was 'lier') for about five minutes banging my head against the keyboard because I could see the spelling was wrong but I couldn't work out how
