i've been wondering...

[Jagador]

Ok.. so everyone has masturbated at least once in their life. But i've always wondered as to why we masturbate. Like i know it is a replacement for sex if it is not accessible, but there must be some other reason why we masturbate....

[yuppies]

It feels gewd :) Well really thats the only reason. Its just a conscious alternative to wet dreams. Its a great stress reliever too!

[david_1990]

it feels soo good when we orgasm that its hard to resist? different for eveyrone i guess
i just do it casue its healthy to release the sperm and generate new ones

[Mikey]

It feels good.

[XFlyboyX]

Its Natural.

[Dayxcore93]

I do it because it relieves my stress, it's good for my body, it's kind of addicting because it feels good too.

[jayjae]

haha i think about that alot too!but it like that with alot of things in life!

[teenanx94]

it is natural to masturbate. and it feels so good...

[ACQD139F83J]

Evolutionarily, the idea that, once we were capable of producing sperm, we wouldn't have women to have children with, wasn't even a consideration. Now it is, so we masturbate instead...

[YourFriend]

It feels good, releases sexual tension and rids us of mess of getting wet dreams.

[Contra]

Once you start, you can't stop, because it feels so good! :D

[anime Freak]

because i have an addiction that i have to do it three times a day

[kdddd]

I agree with david_1990;631557 it dose feel good really good, but there is more to it than that, it is alos healthy to do this, and to release your sperm and make the new ones, plus it also is a good stress reliever

[JackOfClubs]

Mainly because it feels good. It also releases sexual tension, and stress, so it actually helps. But mainly because it feels good :D

[blingibong]

feels good, take your mind off stuff, when your bored, when your horny, jst to enjoy you time :D

[problematic]

i just do it when i'm in the mood and after it it feels really good

[MisterMonster]

i don't think there is an inborn reflex to masturbate. It's just the release and the uhhhhhhhhh feeling you have.
Plus when you're twelve and you've never had sex, it's better than toad in the hole

[Raynes]

It's natural. Believe it or not, regular ejaculation prevents several problems you could have later in your life. Masturbation is healthy, and it's pleasurable. We crave pleasure, and masturbation is an easy way to get it.

[stef]

well when you feel horny and u do not have a girlfriend there is not a lot of choice

[Impact13]

On my opinion i agree with " Mikey" We masturbate because it feels incredible.
I started to masturbate when i was like 11 because i saw a girl do it to a guy in a porno so i tried it myself and it felt dam good, so i havent stoped since lol

[Yesterdays Hero]

It feels fucking great, what other point do you need?

[Jagador]

Hmm.. i guess, but thinking alot into it, i produce get more questions than ever...=T

[iceyfresh]

It feels good and i enjoy it

[DTeen]

I do it because it feels good and it takes all my stress away

[Ortizitthisone]

There are so many benefits to masturbation:

1. It feels good. I do it a couple times a week (I remember the good ol' days when it was 2-3 times a day, lol). It's a pleasurable experience that you can't get any other way (except by having sex).

2. It relieves stress. If I have a bad day, I'll sometimes just come home at the end of the day and jerk off. It breaks up the physical and mental monotony of the day, and it's a great way to temporarily take your mind off of things that are going on in your life.

3. It's so much safer than sex. There is no possible way that you can get an STD by masturbating on your own. There's also no risk of pregnancy for women when they masturbate. It is 100% foolproof from pregnancy and diseases.

4. It reduces the risk of prostate cancer. The release of fluid buildup around the prostate gland by ejaculating has been proven to reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men.

5. It's fun! Though it should be, for the most part, a private activity, it's a fun thing to do, and many people (myself included) do it when they're just bored.

6. It's natural. Almost 100% of all men and 60% of women have masturbated by their 18th birthday, and most of them do it on a regular basis. There's no reason to be ashamed or embarrassed by masturbating, because almost everyone does it. Your friends, your siblings, even your parents have all done it, and probably do it regularly. It's not even exclusively a human thing! Masturbatory behavior has even been observed in animals such as chimpanzees, dogs and kangaroos.

These are only some of the benefits of masturbation. Provided one does not physically hurt themselves from masturbating in excess, and provided that it's not interfering with every day life and social interactions, it's completely normal and acceptable to masturbate.

[AdamTheAce]

to relieve strees - it feels good - makes us happy - the list is ( almost ) endless

[Appleton]

[tomy]

[Giles]

[Rutherford The Brave]

I hate to burst your bubble but I've never masturbated...

[Ortizitthisone]

I hate to burst your bubble but I've never masturbated...

That's why I said *almost* 100% of guys do it. Some (though a vast minority) don't, and as you know, that's completely normal too! It's all a matter of personal preference.

[stef]
