Lying about not masturbating?

[teenageapplelover]

Myself and two friends were staying in a hotel room for a choir trip. While there, we started talking about masturbation.

Me and one of the others admitted to doing it regularly,at least weekly. But the other claimed he hadn't masturbated in two years because he didn't need to.

This is odd especially because he is extremely hypersexual: he's constantly talking about sex and having sex with girls (which, btw, he hasn't been doing so he hasn't been getting a release for over two years in theory) and etc.

Do you think he is lying? Why or why not? Would you lie about your masturbation habits? Why or why not?

He's probably lying out of insecurity. He most likely wants to make it seem like he's getting with girls, and they do it for him. A lot of guys actually do this; just a way to try and impress a friend.

I agree with cool beans. I don't really believe anyone that tells me they don't masturbate. I won't even give them the benefit of the doubt. They're either lying, or they don't have hands..okay that was a joke, but you get the point.

It depends...Maybe he does it but he don't want to talk about his personal things. Or maybe he doesn't do it...But it depends on how much you trust him.

Mike is probably right. Most guys do masturbate, but not all. He may not do it because of his religion, because he's having sex regularly (how do you know he isn't?) or maybe just because he doesn't want to. It's the 'normal' thing to do, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

I agree with the above posts. Most likely he wants to seem "cool" and make you think he doesn't need to masturbate (probably so you'll think he's actually getting sex). He could be religious and not want to disclose that personal information to you because he heard you two talking about masturbating regularly and didn't want to have to explain his reasoning. Or he could just be shy. Shy people (at least shy people about what they really do sexually) tend to act similar to how your friend is described as acting.

Not everyone is comfortable with being a wanker ;)

What I really mean, is that not everyone is comfortable talking about masturbation, it could be for religious reasons, or he could have had it put in his head that it is wrong to do it, so will not admit to it.

The whole admitting to masturbating thing is weird.

It seems that when guys first start to masturbate they are reluctant to confirm they do it because no one else confirms doing it either. Guys are embarrassed and no-one want to the the first to say he does it.

Later most guys are happy to confirm they do it and then later still many of them would prefer you to think they no longer need to do it because they are getting so much sex. In fact most guys (from puberty onwards) masturbate at least some whether they get sex or not though obviously sex will likely take the place of some masturbation.

If I had to place a bet it would be that he was lying but then again maybe the reason he talks about sex so much is because he is denying himself that release.

Thanks for the responsesM it's been very insightful. :)
The interesting thing is that yes, he's religious, but no, he's not insecure about being sexual which is why I want give him the benefit of the doubt but think he is probably lying. I know for a fact he's not having intercourse.

you can't force him to "confess", but you can probably guess that he does. some people talk big to try and impress others. just ignore it, he might not tell because he may think it's something more personal.

How do you know this? No matter what your relationship is like there's no way that you can know this.

Prob lying but who knos he might have never J/O

[RadioPlayer]

Yes, he's probably lying. He might not feel accepted if he admitted that he jacked off, or something of that nature. Sometimes, telling people that can be pretty embarrassing.

[cody999]

he's probably lying because he wants to sound cool

[Jupiter]

He might be lying, but he might also be telling the truth. You might as well believe him.

[Ian.C]

probably a lie

[NotASpyingRent]

Everybody lies.

[junkymcjunkpants]

He probably isnt as open to admitting to masturbating or maybe he dsnt feel comfortable and as far as talking about sex and thing he might just be trying to fit in with you guys

[esby]

I have friends who were very religious and will not masturbate or have sex until marriage. One friend said he was allowed to wank, but could not think of anything sexual during... (not sure about that one) Anyway these were the only people I really believed, otherwise if anyone says they're not then they are probably fibbing. Nothing to be ashamed about anyway almost everyone does it!

[Sean4U]

my dad used to say you can believe 50% of what guys tell you about sex and the other 50% about 100% of them are lying

He's probably lying out of insecurity. He most likely wants to make it seem like he's getting with girls, and they do it for him. A lot of guys actually do this; just a way to try and impress a friend.

I agree

what he said! :D

[Telkanis]

It's possible that he's getting enough sex that he doesn't need to masturbate but I'd guess he's lying.

I have lied about it before cause all te other guys said they didn't but when someone else says they have then I own up to it and everyone pretty muck knows I do it cause I'm gay lol

[ilovethegoodfeeling]

When I first started discovering beating off, i lied about it because at the time I thought that it was kind of embarrassing to tell people especially when I had to look them in face again. But now I tell my friends that I have done it and the last time I did it. After all, we are human.

Could be shy
