Why Masturbate?
 

Why do we (people) masturbate? From what studies say, the average male orgasm lasts less than ten seconds. I can personally say that I am "hooked" on having orgams......whether it be from sex or masturbation.

SOoooooooo.....is it any wonder that our society is so easily "addictable"?

How can something that lasts for less than 10 seconds (for men), you ladies can go on forever, how can that be SO addictive???

Can you think of a better way to spend ten seconds?

Well, the orgasm itself i.e. the "release" of fluid may last only 10 seconds, but the pleasure received could last a lot longer. The pleasure is the release of the endorphines(sp?), and that release helps ease pain, stress, etc. If it's a really good release, you might even forget how to walk. The release of the endorphines is what we are after, and will do it many many times if we can.

For men its good too masturbate. 5 times a week reduces the chance of getting ball-cancer.

The wife and I weren't able to have sex last night due to the kids having ball games. I did it this morning just to release some tension. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is great, but it is never bad.

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!

i think the real question is, "why not masturbate?"

Your use of the phrase "ball games" is interesing...

Mods, would you please strike down this post with furious anger? Why you ask? Well, why not?

well from a girls view.... I like to do it and I love watching a guy do it,,, specially if i'm within his shooting range hehehehe

As absorbentishe said endorphines a natural "upper" chemical is released in the brain.
There are so many more benefits to having an orgasm that it seems to me like it might be unhealthy to go without one. I have also read that a man who masterbates more often (within reason) can help to prevent prostate cancer.

"Affectionate touch increases levels of oxytocin, a desire-enhancing chemical secreted by the pituitary gland which she labels the "bonding hormone."

"Regular lovemaking can increase a woman's estrogen level, protect her heart, and keep her vaginal tissues more supple"

A bout of bedtime activity can raise the amount of
oxygen in cells, keeping organs and tissues functioning at their
best.

DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone), the latest health-fad hormone on the market, is released naturally during amorous athletics. "Just before orgasm and ejaculation," DHEA is believed to improve brain function, balance the immune system, help maintain and repair tissue, promote healthy skin, and possibly improve cardiovascular health and combat depression.

hell yes!
 

i dont have a clue who you are or know nothing about you!

but i know this,YOU ARE A GOOD WOMAN!

my girlfriend has been very good about letting me do that!

Its cheaper than kids!

I find it is great for fighting depression. I used to eat when I was depressed, I don't want to go down the weight loss road again. I've decided jerking off is probably better for me.

Oh yea, talk dirty!

Because there my litle guy wont get down? I mean, is there an opposite to viagra? Or does a PA makes you have a boner all day long? :eek:



(Not literanly, but you get the point)

Why not do something that just feels so right...

boredom

because it feels good, releases stress and its something to do when you're all along and completely bored

To quote Chris Rock: "Scream all ya want, ain't nobody gonna hear ya!"

This isn't something that I do like everyday but I would say maybe once a week. Sometimes its to get me going so I can suprise my hubby when he comes in from work, I'm ready and waiting and all he has to do it take his clothes off.
Another reason I do it, for example last week. My hubby was pretty sick and wanted to do nothing but sleep. After three days with no sex i HAD to do it:D Just popped a porno into the dvd player and it didn't take long after that:D
And boredom gets my vote too. I've done it before just for the simple fact that I was pretty bored:)

Because you can.

wow... who would ever think that there was so much to know about an orgasm... this is freaken incredible!

Thanks Guys

i masturbate cos i have a lot of porn
if it wasnt for masturbation i wouldnt have anything to keep my hands busy while i watch porn
:)

vveronica looking for attention huh?

The releasr is just way to great for words, but I do say in my opinion orgasms from sex are better than ones from masterbation.

Yea, I gotta say, most of the time, when I masturbate, it's out of boredom. I'm sitting on my computer at 3AM, and it suddenly hits me, "Hey man, instead of reading some stupid message board, BEEEAT IT!"

Why would I resist?

my girlfriend works odd hours alot and sometimes i do get to see her for 2-4 days at a time!
usually by the second day i have to take matters into my own "HANDS"!lol

To purify the soul of evil lust-filled sperm. And it makes my head feel funny.

To sleep.

i'm going to have to answer it with a simple question of my own

Why not masterbate?

it makes you pass out quicker

Why masturbate? What a stupid question!

Even though happily married I still drain the lizard often. Sometimes its just nice to fuck a fantasy even if you have physical perfection available.

My two cents

It's fun and I don't have a gf to help.

Beacuse we can!

I seem to be doing it less and less lately.

Not as satisfying as it use to be.

Its cheaper than dating!

Morning, Noon and Night - what better way to relax then let the sperm take a flight!

Can you please explain how being touched by others and "lovemaking" is related to masturbation? The general implication, IMO, is that masturbation is done alone, unless it's mutual masturbation.
