Do you masturbate out of a sense of obligation?

[bardevious]

Obliged in the sense of "have to do it" as opposed to "want to do it".

Sure, we all acknowledge that there is much joy in our masturbatory journeys, but doesn't it seem like, sometimes, more of a drudgery, like taking out the trash or cleaning up dog puke, then it does a fin de sicle moment of freshly squeezed 100% Floridian orgasmic joy?

I am alone here? I see a picture of a sexy woman, something that I "accidentally stumble" across while surfing in the wee hours of the morning, conveniently after my wife has retired for the night, and I think, "well, may as well get it over with", and then 2 hours later, I'm done, left with a gnawing emptiness, a feeling that, "Well, that was pretty alright, but is that all there is to it?" And you know what? Inevitably, that IS all there is to it.

So, why do you masturbate?

Do you do it because it just kills time?

Do you do it with great joie de vivre?

Or, do you do it with a wan sense of ennui, a total resignation and acknowledgement of the void residing deep within the souls of all mankind?

I am curious. And please, keep the schlong pictures to yourselves, thanks in advance.

If you don't jerk-off three times a day, you're cheating yourself.

Personally, I almost never do it anymore. When I first discovered it, I thought it was great. But, after the novelty (and a few layers of skin) wore off, I became disenchanted with the whole process.

I still did it out of a sense of obligation for awhile. Like if I watch a movie and some girl does a nude scene, I almost felt it would be rude if I didn't jerk to it. I mean someone spent millions of dollars and months of time just so I could see Halle Berry's tits in "Swordfish" it's the least I can do to fulfill my part in the circle (jerk) of life to get off to it.

But, I had quit seeking out stimulus and only did it when I happened upon it. Then I started getting more and more selective and doing it less and less. Like, I'd see Pam Anderson naked for the millionth time and it's no big deal by then. I'd only do it for special occasions like a girl that was really hot, or that I wanted to see for a long time but she never seemed to do nudity (Kristy Swanson or Tia Carrera in Playboy or Salma Hayek in "Frida" for example.)

Anyway, for the most part, I've always done it out of sense of obligation more than pleasure. Like you said, it was more of a chore. I did it more for the girl than myself. It's like I didn't want her to feel bad after exposing herself like that. Eventually, I just quit all together (for the most part.) If I happen to be in some sort of altered state, I might let one go just for the hell of it, but that's very rare.

Oh, there was a 2nd phase in there which I left out. Instead of just doing it for pleasure, I started doing it more as a sport or some sort of scientific investigation. Like seeing how fast I could finish, how long I could last, how many times I could do it without stopping and other stupid stuff like that. I admit I had way to much time (and lotion) on my hands.

So seven, still a virgin I take it?

[krkuhl]

:wave: hi 7! glad to see you back here. and :up: to reshaving your head, yum.


back to subject. occasinally i masturbate for nonsexual reasons. mostly it is because i am bored and decide to kill some time by checking out some erotic websites. but that is only about 2% of the time. the other times, i get that nice little urge, warm tingly feeling, and go at it. i have tried to see how many times i could do it in one sitting but no other "scientific studies"

Pretty much. I've pretty much given up. I figure one of these days I'll break down and get a mail order bride or something. :rolleyes:

I hear P1forrest has been around lately. ;)

[brizz]

every once in a while i will out of boredome....but i always enjoy it, i mean, come on, you have an orgasm at the end....it's better than nothing.

[funkyryno]

I always get depressed about all the time I wasted. I mean I could have been doing something more constructive ... like playing video games.

[fmian]

I kinda follow that theory that Chris Elliot proposes to Ben Stiller in There's Something About Mary. I certainly do it cause it feels good, but I also do it cause it makes me feel calm afterwards. I don't like the stress of walking around with a loaded gun :)

I can't believe I'm the only one interested in the results of your important research. :)

I bet you could get a grant to continue your research in this field. Especially if you document everything properly with photos and video. (I know I'd chip in ;))

It feels good? Not having a girlfriend in times like these suck, thank you Al Gore for Internet Porn!

I am admittedly still within 7's "scientific stage" a little bit... or just beyond it. I have found that masturbation is obligatory in my case in order to maintain dry sheets. If I don't beat off at least once or twice a week, I will invariably have a wet dream. Some have soaked the bedding so badly that I had to get up in the middle of the night and change the sheets. It is great WHILE you're having one but waking up in a puddle of cold goo shortly there after sucks. So my obligation is there - however, I wouldn't call it a chore. ;)

[flyingdragon]

I do it for two reasons. First I do enjoy it a great deal and you don't have to "cuddle" afterwards. If you don't cuddle, she makes you feel insensitive like you're lacking a heart or something.

Second, I like to "clean the pipes" before a hot date or going to the club where a lot of tail is present. It keeps my mind off women's asses for a little while and let me concentrate on being myself and having a good conversation.
