WHY do you masturbate??? Honestly.

[IAMWILL]

Everyone and every post on these forums that deals with masturbation always ask who, what, when, or where? But the essential question that people miss is why. Why truly do you masturbate??? Of course you will answer "because it feels good" but is that really the reason? Think deeply. Remeber when you first started masturbating. Why did you ever do such a beautiful yet critized thing in life. Take some time to think about this question, and then answer.

[Mzor203]

Umm... the first time I did it I had nooo idea what I was doing. Now I just do it so I don't get random boners and wet dreams... ick. It feels nice, I'll admit, but the few seconds that it feels nice doesn't justify the amount of time spent working on it. Thus, I do it for practical reasons.

[theOperaGhost]

God, I wish I only knew...that way I would be able to stop.

I think at first, you do it cause it was new, it felt good, and you wanted to try it again. I honestly feel it's like pot, it's not physically addicting, but it is mentally addicting. A mental addiction takes a lot to overcome. After you do it a while, it just becomes part of your life. When I get stressed, I do it. When I'm horny (obviously) I do it. If neither of these things are true, I think I just do it because you become so dependent on it, that you need to do it at some point. You can go a few days, but then you just need to fill that "void."

[Θάνατος]

I only jerk off when I am really horny any more. It is also a great stress relief and it can help you be able to go to sleep after you have finished. I know I am totally wiped out when I have my orgasms.

[Art_dude]

why do I masturbate? Why wouldn't I :P
Masturbation for me is simply relieving sexual tension. When you are too young to have sex or if you are single, masturbation is a way to keep you from having intercourse, plus it just feels good. I think the world would be a better place if more people jacked off: maybe people wouldn't feel as pressured to have sex which they may feel uncomfortable about.

[lol123]

theres nothing like touching ur self on those days that you feel lonely and want a good felling

[Trickster]

Well i do cuz im either bored or kinda horny. At first it was to stop the wet dreams and i wanted to see how it feels but i think it kinda got a mental addiction to it. Cuz i feel like if i have an opportunity to do it and i dont i go crazy and my blood gets filled with adreneline. So its a bit of an addiction for me. I already knew that but i gonna need to stop being dependent on it after awhile

[Camazotz]

...Because it feels good...

[redman]

I onley jerk off when i have a boner or if i wouching porn

[sdleader]

The first time was because it felt nice, and for a while after that I was always horny and did it because of that.

But as I grew up, If I'm honest, sometimes I do it when I'm bored, not just when I'm horny.

[ViT0]

its definitely an addiction xD. but. the basic reason i do it is because i dont get erections out of nowhere or have wet dreams. but its definitely addicting!

[Viral Death]

I have no clue why we jack off but,

I like to cause I get time to myself without being bugged by anyone and it it.... it feals great and I love the fealing. And I like to feal like I am having sex since I havent lost my virginity.

[Skeln]

Great stress relief, helps me sleep, good minor celebration technique (say when I ace a test), and to prevent me from having sex too early.

[Joshie]

to get rid of random boners and cause it feels good

[kniwtohynroh]

i masturbate so i wont get wet dreams.
When i do, its really irratating! I dont let anone know so i have to wash my
underwear.
Its for pleasure too

[IAMWILL]

Well since I started this thread I better answer my question. I believe I masturbate for several reasons. 1st, It really does relieve stress and tensions that build up over a day or so, and it really is a relaxing thing to do at night. 2ndly though, I kinda started to do it because I had known about it for a while, and since apparently 90% of guys do it, it was almost a thing to me I thought I should know how to do becuase I'll probly end up at a point in my life were my friends are doing it, or a friend asks me if I want to do it, and I can say yes. So almost, I do it to fit in. I haven't regretted any part of it though since I started.

[drew31793]

im either horny, bored or watching a porno

[radboi]

just when ur bored or watching porn
or horny or having a dream

[L]

i do for most of the reasons above, but also if i get depressed (which is rare for me) i find it helps me forget about it for the night.

[trythis5]

It's not entirely a choice.

Some people are seriously strictly against it probably never will try...but people who ever tried during puberty should/will be locked in to it until their hormones settle down...you're body says you have to...

its just a HUMAN male thing

[trythis5]

word.

Totally agree dude.

its just a HUMAN male thing

[Fusion]

i heard that it can release stress from the body

[philip374374]

It feels good I just figured out great way to do it to
And sometime before bed it helps me go to sleep.

[TheCatDied]

It helps me control my emotions most times. If I were in a situation and I did not choose to have sex, then I could rely on masturbation to clean up things for me. And most of the time I feel the need to get rid of the sexual tensions that build up inside me. Like waking up with a hard penis? I hate that. It happens all the time...

[Art_dude]

Ditto to the above: waking up with morning wood is annoying.. I forgot to add that I masturbate 90% of the time because I'm horny.

[Nick_nap]

The first time I did it i didn't know what I was doing, I didn't even know what it was called. Now I do it when I'm bored and to relief stress, numb emotional pain, a or to fall asleep.

[teenboy93]

horny mostly!!!!!

[Silent_Zoma]

It feels good. Why else would you do it? I think the other reasons given are just guilty feeling people looking for an exscuse.

[nick]

its habit forming

Christ IDK. why do we breath?

It feels good. It brings relief. IIDK, you've just got to fo it

[Sumitup]

I do it because it calms me down and helps me sleep because it relieves stress.

[TheCatDied]

"It feels good. Why else would you do it? I think the other reasons given are just guilty feeling people looking for an exscuse."

I don't think that is true, sexual tension builds up inside your body and you are horny almost all the time if you do not masturbate.

[Stark]

I didn't really know what I was doing the first time, but when I found out it felt so good, I kept doing it. So for me the pleasure is the reason I do it.

[radboi]

Its a male human thing

[liquid ice]

i do it so ... idk realy i wake up and do it so i wont be cranky in the morning[its like a cup of coffe for me] right when i get off the bus from skool i do it then sometimes when im going to bed - but i have a realy realy bad addiction

[Confused4life]

I onley jerk off when i have a boner or if i wouching porn

This

[Raynes]

It's human nature. We do what feels good for ourselves. Masturbation isn't needed because the body will renew it's sperm supply with nocturnal emissions. So the only real answer we can give you is "Because it feels good.".

[QuickQuart]

for me, i was curious and then it became a habit. it felt good, so i kept doing it. now ive found out that it can be healthy and stuff so i dont make an effort to stop...

[grimlip]

the first time i did it i was just messing with it, i didnt know what i was doing, now i do it cause it feels good, lol

[reithedragonboy]

the first time i did it, it was because i saw gay porn and wanted to mimic them. i didn't know what i was doing. but i really loved the end result. i've been doing it ever since. it helps when im stressed or just need to have some release

[iceyfresh]

well curiosity then continued because it felt sooo good

[confused1]

The only time that I really jack off is like when I'm super horny. And so i can prevent random boners....

[fishstiks04]

you try it the first time and then after that its like a habit

[Neverender]

i do just for the hell of it. it feels good, and it keeps me from having wet dreams. what else is there?

[TAC1]

it helps me relieve stress, go to sleep and I do it when I'm bored. Surprisingly it helps me think. OVERALL IT FEELS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spartan117]

ever since i was little i played with my penis then when i was 11 i masturebaited and was hooked now im horney when ever i see this girl in my class

[MRcongeniality]

Its just a thing you do that is pleasurable, that you by chance find out, such as being massaged, why do you do that, to feel good. Then if you're questioning the meaning of masturbation, why not question massaging, how did it start,. di somebody just randomelylike in a war starty trampeling some enemy, then the trampled person says "mmm, that felt very comforting."

[Furn_93]

I dunno really, I guess sometimes I do it cos I think 'oh haven't done this for a while, why not' or just cos i'm horny... but I always get horny at about 10-11, so I always have a wank before bed.... then i'm relaxed at get to sleep easier... But I have bad stress problems so thats more for survival haha.

[Muffins]

Jut answering the topic question.

I guess its a question as old as time itself [Whenever men/women learned to "please themselves"].

I guess it feels good. And if your Christian [Although not everyone who does this is] you just J/O untill your married so you dont have to go **** some person so you can stay a virgin, its a release without losing your virginity and its "safe sex" And of course it feels good and its addictive. :D And im sure like lots of others we just need the release to feel just abit less horny :D

OH and it helps me to get to sleep some nights [others it keeps me up all night lol wierd...]

[HikaruTheHunter]

Well the story is simple. When I was twelve, I had heard about masturbation, which was new to me. At first, I looked at videos on how to do this, and that, but I never really caught the concept. Then, I found one video, and I learned like that, and I was exhilarated. It felt good indeed, and from then on, I make myself feel good!

[MykeSoBe]

I was in the shower, and I was rinsing myself off with the showerhead (it's detachable). The jet of water splashed underneath my penis, it felt good, and I kept it in that position for a few minutes, then eventually came this feeling like boom. Eventually, ever time I took a shower, I did this. It was real pleasurable. :yes: Then I went to go stay with my grandma, and her showerhead wasn't detachable. And I was real horny, so I decided to try it by hand, something I didn't do before. I found out for myself it was better than masturbating with the showerhead. So my routine got even better ...

In general, I used to masturbate because there was nothing to do or because I wanted to "experiment," but mainly because it was a habit. You got an annoying erection, just begging you to even touch it. When you do, that feels good already, and then you start thinking about masturbating every time, and you think of how good it [would] feel. If you haven't been baptized yet, that makes it even more irresistable. Anyways, now that I'm baptized, and as a Catholic to make matters worse, masturbation is something I have to really restrict. If you are Catholic, just click this link, "catholic views on masturbation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_views_on_masturbation#Roman_Catholicism)," and see for yourself. This should be discouraging enough, but if you need more discouragement, just try and Google "catholic views on masturbation." Luckily, it's considered less of a sin if you're a teenager, but it's not possible to resist it. (99% of Catholic boys/men masturbate)

Sorry if I got a bit off-topic. Just trying to give some opinion. :yummy:

man...because i like it:lol:

[digzchickz]

I pretty much do it because it feels good, and because if too long goes by without an orgasm then I start getting horny and get erections all of the time and it is just an enjoyable release of tension and stuff. As for why I started, I didn't even know what I was doing, I just knew about sex and knew that it was supposed to feel good, so I just kinda started playing with myself, and that was that. I didn't even know if what I was doing was normal or not at the time, and it felt weird, although addictive too.

lol i found masterbation almost the same way as you

[byee]

Everyone masturbates, and the reason they do is b/c it's a biological drive. it's like sweating on a hot day, it's controlled by your body. So, that sexual drive is activated by puberty, and there's this 'need', which you meet thru masturbation.

Our sexuality is hard wired into us, it's there to make sure we reproduce and propagate the species. So, in order to facilitate that, there's this inborn drive. That's why this whole 'guilt' thing, the 'Should I masturbate?' dilemma is so absurd, b/c it suggests that we have some actual control over this, that we masturbate as a conscious choice, like choosing vanilla over chocolate or something. It's not about masturbation, that's just the result of the the underlying drive which is very strong and rather insistent b/c it is a biological necessity.

[new_kid_on_the_block]

the first time i did it was because a friend was talking about it and how he did it n stuff like that. So i did it to fit in and then i didn't look back, :).

[Skeln]

Um...is it just me or was this an old thread bumped?

[IAMWILL]

^^ It is, someone bumped it..... Idc though

[Oblivion]

Um...is it just me or was this an old thread bumped?

^^ It is, someone bumped it..... Idc though

Actually there wasn't. The thread was started in January, and has been fairly active since.
The biggest bump was ~ 2 weeks, which is completely OK.

[IAMWILL]

I'm really bad with this whole bumping limit thing................

[Archer600]

With me I really do do it just cuz it feels good I sortof discovered it by accident. I dont feel like I need to do it and I can stop any time I want so there is no other reason

[Clawhammer]

I don't masterbate. I think it's a choice. If you want too, I'm not gonna stop you. It's your choice. I haven't found a good reason to contradict it yet. I just choose not to, and so I don't.

[notsure101]

Because it relieves stress and it makes me feel good then it also reduces risk of prostate cancer

[IAMWILL]

I'm Glad this is getting a lot of good answers, and people are taking this into consideration. Anyone else though?

[Prince_of_Peace]

I have no reason to masterbate..so I stopped.

[mathew911]

The first time I was looking at some naked pics and it got me hard and horny, and I felt some desires. So I just put my hand on my dick and did it. It was all so natural, noone had to teach me.

[marktheman]

My ONLY reason for masturbating is because it feels so awesome.
I discovered it by accident, and the only reason I discovered it was because what I was doing felt so good I didn't want to stop.

[Haru Taki]

pleasure....lol xD:lol::D

[madcat]

Im not addicted to it but i do it. It has been a routine thing for me since i was nearly 11 1/2 no reason to hate it, love it, or get to attached to it. I do it because its something i do every day. I quit for nearly half a year because i can. People have your own reasons and understand why you do it. ;)

[Haru Taki]

wow...you are tolerant....ever tried your buds?

[Scarred]

First time I had masturbated was when I was about 9-10. It was random experimentation. Now I do it when I get really horny. I get horny a LOT now. But I jerk about once - twice a day, depending on how the day is going. I don't masturbate EVERYTIME I get horny, but like when its night time, i'm by a computer, and my penis starts throbbing with blood. Thats when it begins....and it feels so damn good....

[IAMWILL]

Cmon guys, lets get to 100 replies!

[Hollywood]

just because it feels good
and it makes u sleepy so when i cant sleep i jack off

[itsjustguy]

it gives me pleasure and i don't want wet dreams.There really annoying

[Prince_of_Peace]

Since I learned that masterbation is a sin...I stopped. I know its all a mater of self control and self discipline. There is really no reason for masterbating.

[rocker90210]

I j/o because it is a gr8 stress reliever and it prevents nuisances like wet dreams and spontaneous erections. also it feels good...

[pizzamon]

I've recently stopped masturbating. I feel like it was bringing me down since it's against my religious beliefs. Wet dreams are easier to handle than guilt is.

[IAMWILL]

Hmmm.... I'm beginning to notice that at first people were writing long explanations that were great about why the masturbate, and now it's more of short sentences of why they don't..... what's next?

[qwerty_keyboard]

i do it to not have the sex to early and that reminds me of a quote my frind told me he made it up"sex can wait masturbate"thats about it

[bobtom]

I masturbate to get a break from the massive horneyness. :D

If I am bored and need to do something.

And just for the fun of it all. :)

[pcd31]

I do it because I'm always horny and it feels good.

[CestDan]

There are some reasons to masturbate. First I think that it's something new and we want to try it, moreover it makes you feel very good, but not a normal "goodness", is something special and new, that's why you want to repeat it. Besides I think that masturbation is a way to relieve your sexual desire.

I do because I think it is safe for health and because it feel so great!!!!!!!!!

I love it!!!!!

[HelloWorld123456]

I do it because apart from feeling good and helps me sleep, it helps be relieve from the stress i accumualte trough the day ... i also do it to prevent boners at very akward times haha .. and also .. to immagine me and my gf having soem fun xDD ... it is just great xD

and also reduces my horny level .. so less chance to engage in sexual activities .. i wanna spare my first time with a really special person .. ! (and also not to have kidz right now :P)

Edit

And also to not have wetdreams so frequent xD .. Are messy too much xD .. Tough it is funny to wake up in the middle of an orgasm at night haha ... but then youll have to clean it up .... )¬ ,¬

[skinny_white_boy]

it feels great and relieves that "itch" lol

[alphabeta]

That is a good question. Probably because it is a stress reliever I guess. It's really addicting and it takes your mind off stressful situations.

[Cloud Spinner]

feels great..

[itsallaboutme]

I do it because I WANT to have an orgasm, I want that feeling.

[drac]

because it feels good but i say mostly boredom and stress and also when im depressed

[LUCKY555]

bc i am a horny 15 y/o boy....andi like to relieve myself

[The Joker]

It's great for sexual tension, because you don't want to lose your virginity too young. It's also very fun, and I just love the feeling.

[alexpop]

when i do it i forget of everythink relives your stress

[vito22andolini]

helps sleeping , FEELS GOOD .


must be stupid to want to stop XD

[ember5060]

to keep my emotions stable, and cuz it feels good

[MykeSoBe]

Well before I used to masturbate because I was bored, and I masturbated so much that I never got horny. Now, though, since I want to increase the pleasure in orgasms, my goal is to masturbate a week at a time. Yes, I've not achieved this yet, my record is 4 days, the first 4 days of Lent, that is. It seems now that whenever I want to abstain from it for a period, the urge comes, but when I really want to, there is no urge present, which is weird. Anyways, other reasons I do it are the average responses you'll hear: because you can't take it no more, because you have so much free time, and don't know what to do. I do not consider masturbation an addiction, it is really just a habit that all young men have. Depending on the person, masturbation will probably be forgotten about in later life, especially if you have a spouse, but I doubt this.

[Aves]

Idk why people do, but I don't and I'm perfectly fine. It really seems like WAY too much work.

[Reality]

Because I feel like it. I also do it when I'm stressed or depressed.

[BirdsandtheBees]

It's a habit. But it feels AMAZING..especially if you do it like two or three times a week (Not too much) then each time feels good because you haven't felt that way in a while.

[khmastel15]

so the question is: why do you mastrubate? Whats the reason?

i for pleasure

[kjb0408]

for the release of sexual tension i guess ... mostly cuz its fun!

[username1]

coz i saw something hot earlier in the day? coz im horny...

[ThUnDeR]

do pleasure yes but also to go to sleep haha it works!!!

[Death]

The main point of masturbation is the orgasm before ejaculation. It's basically the lovely feeling that I would describe as beeing the complete opposite to pain - in fact, better! When you're feeling more horny, it gets even better still.

[Tubbsyclone]

cus it feels amazing and it reliezes sexual emotions

[MARiFOX]

health benifits...pleasure.

[Skeln]

For me, mainly pleasure.

[The Joker]

All the reasons stated here, that's why I masturbate.

[marktheman]

I don't know of anything else that feels so good. That's the only reason I do it.

[MisterMonster]

i started when i was 11. I wanted to know what all the hype was about. I tried it out and it was GREAT. I had never felt anything like it before. So, naturally, i still do it to this day

[xCIRESMx]

I do it because it feels great and helps me relieve stress.

[Shadowhunter]

The first time I did it was when I was 12 and honestly I wasn't sure what i was doing. To this day though I do it because it is a good stress reliever, also when i am just really horny or something, it is a good distraction from the rest of the world and because it feels really good :)

[bowlheadhere]

When I first started, I was just really bored and wanted to play with it. I mean, you guys know that feeling, when you are about seven or eight, and you are exploring your body. Yea. But there are actually many reasons too masterbate. Some are: it relieves stress, tests/statistics have shown that people who masterbate on a regular basis tend to live slightly longer lives, you have less chance of getting prostate cancer, etc. I found an article about this a while back, and would cite my source, but I am not really sure where I found it, sorry. But I know for a fact that those are three reasons.

[Shaymin]

My question would be, Why do teens and other people do such an inappropreate thing! It is digusting and very stupid to talk about! I used to do it for about an year or so, and I thought, Why do people pressure me into this king of stuff. They just want me to be like perverts like them, and they are perverts and very gay today! My god! That is why I hate mastrubation. If you have any kind of stupid reason why you disagree with this, message me. I'll take you all on. Like I said, I used to do it because, I was depressed at that time, something to do, and all of that.bSo hear me people, STOP MASTRUBATING!!! I HEAR IT IS A SIN!!!

[Hewhohasnoriches]

To be honest... the reason why I started masturbating was because I feared that I was becoming gay. (No offense to anyone who's gay or bi here, I just don't want to be gay myself) But, now I just do it to satisfy "those" feelings. I've lately kind of been wanting to stop though, for both religious and personal reasons.

[zoom zoom]

well really it feels good, but now i dont need to i got some help lol

[JackOfClubs]

I seriously just do it because of the amazing feeling I get. And i do it whenever I'm horny, because well I can and I see no reason not to lol

[BJagHalo]

wow. does the thread starter not know about puberty? the whole reason people masturbate is because they saw something that got their dick tingling and probably was looking at something that shows what it is used for at the same time.

AKA PORN

[toyota098]

because it is fun!

[HelloWorld123456]

Because it is addiction =P ... And it feels gd xD

[Giles]

exatly the same reasons as every1 thts already posted.

[thecanadianfawcett]

i masterbate because a) it feels good b) it passes some time at night c) so i dont get wet dreams and d) it helps me go to sleep faster
:D

[Pudd]

I do it because i like the feeling lol thats the only reason relly

[kyle92]

[James18]

It's partially that it feels good, but there's also the feeling that you just have to. Whenever your body tells you that you've gotta get off, you just do it. There's not a whole lot you can consciously do to resist it.

[orangecounty]

Pleasure and it is a really good stress reliever. It kind of puts all my problems and tasks aside for just a few minutes.
