honeyandthemoon Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Around here AAA stands for Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance, a right-wing peronist terrorist group from the late 70s... ...Around here, it stands for American Automobile Association... And if you're a nerdy business major, it stands for a very high bond rating by S&P or Moody. :P Link to post Share on other sites
Constance Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 D sounds right. I can watch myself having sex (in my head) and know what I'm doing right and what I mess up on. There's a science to everything we do. Getting it down perfect is my goal. There's a structure to sex and I'm very conscious of it, since I'm not going out of my mind with whatever it is girls usually feel when they do it. But I really have no idea how I'm supposed to masturbate. If I don't forget to, I try on a monthly basis. Hey, I have a question. What's with dildos? They just all look incredibly huge and nothing like a penis. The ones that look like a penis are like ELEPHANT- sized. Are those things a joke, or do women actually fit things like that into...something? Orifices? It doesn't seem that they could. Am I asking the wrong set of friends? And please, no one knock me for doing what I do...it's a love thing. Oh, and it's a pride thing. As long as it doesn't hurt. Then I have no pride and I beg off. Link to post Share on other sites
Inquisitor Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 ...I've found that I lose "physical arousal" when thinking of any sort of interaction, whether between two others or between me and someone else, especially when I know the person. Because I remain aroused when fantasizing about the shape of a person (usually female, never genitalia of either) makes me feel like I fit in most with asexuality but not completely... it still describes me best, though. So, whatever :)Can anyone relate? Yes, I can relate! For instance, I collect some fashion/design magazines, and I can get turned on by some of the pictures of fully or mostly clothed female models. Like you said, the shape of a person. Porn, on the other hand, just makes me want to throw up... Ah, my thoughts exactly! Link to post Share on other sites
Lyric Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 For me, I guess it's 90% B and 10% A. It's a release, an itch that I need to scratch once in a while. I enjoy it, but it seems to happen in bunches...I can go weeks without wanting to indulge and then do it a few times in one weekend. However, it does take quite a while, and I tend to need to watch all different flavours of porn to get going. Gay, straight, bi. :oops: Link to post Share on other sites
TeddyMiller Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 A.I like it and want to do it, but I can't associate it with sex. o.O As I said somewhere else one time, I mastrubate, because it's fun, like playing video games. That's me as well. Just as I might find a fighting-type video game to be fun, without having any desire for an actual fight with anyone, so I'd find masturbation to be fun without having any desire for actual sex with anyone.

The_L Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 On the few occasions I have done it, it was to relieve stress (basically what Avon said.) I am definately going to have cancer! Link to post Share on other sites
davelwhite Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 B and A, probably mixed 60/40. Compared with sex, it's better because it doesn't affect my emotional ties to people-- when I do it alone, there is nobody assuming that my relationship with them has suddenly become more important than a friendship I've had for 11 years just because I saw their genitals. Nor do I end up HAVING to do it on a regular basis just to prove to somebody I love them. I have traditionally labeled myself "low sexual interest" (which Avenguy used to call "semisexual" until people said it made them think of intercourse with large trucks) instead of asexual, but I basically never have sex because of these weird relational politics that result. I share some interesting quirks with other people on this topic because: I am perfectly wililng to admit it's a good sleep aid. Presumably less toxic than Nyquill. I am wondering if the reason this particular feature of sexual release is not discussed more is because it kind of detracts from the whole "swept away by romance" allure that most sexuals are looking for.[*] When I am doing something exciting, especially when I am visiting close friends or spending time with friends, I do it less or stop doing it. Except when I live with them long-term, in which case reason "B" takes over again after awhile. Link to post Share on other sites
vanilla Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 A. I like it and want to. It feels nice and makes me feel happy. But I am the ONLY person who is allowed to touch down there. The idea of anyone else doing it is very offputting and revolting. I don't think about other people when I'm doing it. I actually mainly think about my day or what I'm going to do tomorrow or the long term future. Link to post Share on other sites
c130 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 A (but occasionally B) Helps me relax at night, particularly if I'm up really late and I want to go to bed but I'm just not tired. Sort of like tonight. Generally when I do it, my mind wanders about all over the place because I'm not focusing on any tasks demanding concentration; that's one of the reasons I do it. Lets my mind fly totally free, and my thoughts and ability to control them is the most important thing to me. I've started to notice that the dreams I have afterwards are more vivid upon waking, and they mean more (emotionally) than my usual pointless dreams. So it's all good! =) I sometimes use porn/erotica (always on the computer and I never leave traces of it even though nobody else uses this machine) to get started, but other times I just do it without any of that stuff. I never actually relate the act to sex though; that's just... wierd. Can't describe it really. Only I get to touch me and I can't imagine how having someone else messing about with my body could be enjoyable. o.O Link to post Share on other sites

DeathOfRats Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 A and B for me too. Although sometimes it is just a thing that I do and after I'm not really sure why. Like spending hours in front of the TV and then not being able to remember what I was watching. Link to post Share on other sites

TangerinePanda Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 A. usually A, but sometimes for health reasons, cause it makes me tired and then I can sleep. I actually took a seven hour nap afterwards once. I guess it works better than any pharmaceutical for inducing sleep, so partly for health reasons, cause i am an insomniac.

tarboxna Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Funny you should mention boredom. Ha! I've got a host of things I'll obsess with when I'm avoiding doing the things I should (such as I define boredom at times). I try to kick myself out of "eating mass quantities" as quickly as I can. Reading happens, a current favorite game happens, and sometimes. . . marathon masturbation happens. I've had periods in my life where I forced myself to do weekly "C"s. Mostly, I leave it under "A" for addiction. It's daily habit. The last 3 weeks it's been a horrible marathon of "B". . . Like a bad B/xxx movie, I'm living in "Attack of the Walking Erection" :-/ Link to post Share on other sites

I never actually relate the act to sex though; that's just... wierd. Can't describe it really. I always used to say that for me sex was only in the mind (I don't really want it to intrude upon reality). Fantasies are wonderful, but when I get close to their realization, I discover just how much I DON'T want them to happen. Only I get to touch me and I can't imagine how having someone else messing about with my body could be enjoyable. o.O *nods* Well, the "only I get to touch me part" I relate to perfectly. The second part I can imagine, it just doesn't happen that way in reality for me. It's strange how it hangs on the edge of a knife's blade. . . certainly it feels good, well sometimes, but I really don't like people touching me in that way. Link to post Share on other sites
Wicked Freemartin Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 It used to be A for me for a long time, and I didn't do it that often. In the past few years it's been B, because although I technically "want to", it's kind of like drinking a glass of water to keep myself hydrated. Yes, I want to drink the water, but not becuase I enjoy drinking it, but because it stops me feeling thirsty. The problem is, it only dissipates the arousal for maybe a few hours. Then it's back again, like an annoying fly buzzing around. I asked my doctor if she could prescribe medication to suppress my arousal as it seems to be increasing as I age and she just said, "What you need is a boyfriend." Um, no thanks. She tested my hormone levels but apparently, they are "normal." I really envy people who don't get aroused at all. Link to post Share on other sites
fig Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 because it helps one to sleep. Other than that, it feels good and is something to do. Link to post Share on other sites
AmoebicMe Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Rarely A, sometimes B or D, and most often due to boredom. And I tend to go through periods of varying frequency, from nothing to a freakin' lot within a few days, though the "freakin' lot" periods are generally few and far between.

I've noticed that if I masturbate late in the evening I can have difficulties in falling asleep :) And I've noticed that when my life is more stimulating and happier, I don't have a need to masturbate.

Vicious Trollop Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 A, I guess. I probably become aroused like most sexual people (less often and from different sources, but the physical aspect of it must be the same) and so I have the urge to do something about it. It's just that I can take care of it myself, and the thought of someone else doing it seems both unnecessary and abhorrent. Link to post Share on other sites
Sanguinia Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Pretty much D. I just end up sitting around, and saying... what should i do? :idea: Oh, goodness. Maybe i should masturbate just to see if it gets any better! Nope... Nah, i've tried many times and it never gets any better. It's just annoying. And i don't know if i've ever had an orgasm or not. Frankly, i don't care. Link to post Share on other sites

Peix Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Most often it's A, occasionally B. But in any case it's far less than most males my age do, if I'm to believe what I hear. I also agree with HuSongshu that it tends to happen a lot more when I'm lonely; when I'm with a lot of friends I just don't often do it, and it often happens that I go so long without masturbating that it starts getting quite painful. Then I need to for reason C. Link to post Share on other sites

Mith Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Half the time it's B, and the other half it's D. Sometimes they kinda mix too.

Philip Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 With me it is mostly B, but sometimes D and a few times A. But because I find masturbation unsatisfying, boring and hollow I intend never to do it again. Though I expect I will. But I want to be free of the habit. Link to post Share on other sites
