There's a lot confusion about asexuals masturbating. Many asexuals talk about "cleaning out the pipes" and some even use pornography.

Hopefully this survey can help us measure what kind of masturbatory habits asexuals have..

The nature of the polling system makes some of the questions longer than they should be, but this should allow us to see all of the relevant data.

Also, if you masturbate using other means, and you're comfortable talking about it, it might be interesting to share.

Thanks,

Bruce Barrington

EDIT: Thanks for all the comments! I've changed "ejaculate" to orgasm. I've also allowed for asexuals to choose that they don't masturbate, which I forgot to include.

The reason the last question includes information for sexuals while the others do not is because this is a question where comparison between sexuals and asexuals is more important, while the other questions are meant to just retrieve information from asexuals. I can add sexual qualifiers though, if people want to see that added.

I've included the terms "on average" for masturbation time and for amount of sex, but I've added a variability for how often one masturbates because this is more willful rather than situational, and hence is less likely to vary strongly in the typical population.

IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A GRAYSEXUAL,you should click "I am not an asexual".

I'm going to do some stats on these after a couple weeks and come up with some cool graphs explaining what the results mean. :)

Just pointing this out, you should rephrase some of the questions. Men aren't the only ones who masturbate, so probably should change 'ejaculate' to 'orgasm'.

Agree with Zash. Also your first question doesn't allow for an asexual to not masturbate.

Yep, I second the above! I want to do this survey, but there's no option for "ace without masturbation"! I'll wait to do the rest until that option is there.

You should also make an option in the categories about it varies. I can take 2 minutes or 2 hours....and it can be once every month to multiple times a day for a day or two in a row. It really is varied. I just put in my average times but it does change quite a bit. Oh and I'm asexual.

I'm curious as to why the last question is the only one that has more than 'I am not asexul' for sexual people. It seems out of place and weirdly intrusive, even in the context of this survey, when the only thing you want to know about sexual people is how long they take. Just as there are asexuals who do, there are sexuals who don't. So it would seem prudent to either put each option in each question to the sexuals as well, or to take all the options off for them on the last one and make the survey exclusive to asexual information.

I don't know if this matters but a lot of people seem to look at anime/drawn people but not real people porn. Should that be an option too?

also you put images as a means, what type of images? If it doesn't fall under pornography?

Sorry it is very important to use language that isn't easily misconstrued. It can mess up the results if not everyone understands.

A few additional thoughts on choices:

Under Masturbation;

I am asexual, I use some combination of the above

I am asexual, I do not masturbate

I think being able to choose multiple options would be a good idea. And what if you're not asexual but not sexual but in the grey area? Because I am. And, I use multiple ways. and i do masturbate but it really just depends on my mood how often i need it.

Am an asexual that uses thought and material that is considered fetishism's. Furry fetishism's in various forms, though I have done so without the need for such material.

The rate of masturbation is extremely variable. Usually every 3 days, sometimes twice a month though I can manage multiple orgasms a day if I wanted.

The length of masturbation is also extremely variable depends on what I can do. usually 5-10 minutes, but with the more feminine orgasm, I can achieve one up to and beyond 45 minutes. Plus I can orgasm with masturbation while hyper stimulated, a lot of fetishism's of mine can do that.

Never had sex or sexual relations or need them, the world of fetish fantasy goes deep with sex without a physical presence though...

Thanks for all the comments! I've changed "ejaculate" to orgasm. I meant it to be inclusive but females don't always have ejaculate. I've also, in the first question, allowed for asexuals to masturbate.

The reason the last question includes information for sexuals while the others do not is because this is a question where I would like to compare the times to see if asexuals take longer to reach ejaculation than sexuals do. This question is meant to compare asexuals with other sexuals, while the other questions were meant to just retrieve information from asexuals. I can add those though, if people want to see that added.

I'm going to do some stats on these after a couple weeks and come up with some cool graphs explaining what the results mean. :)

Also, I'm hesitant to make a "varies" option, because I think most people will have masturbatory habits that vary somewhat, which means a lot of people might click this option. I've included the terms "on average" for masturbation time and for amount of sex, but I've added a variability for how often one masturbates because this is more willful rather than situational, and hence is less likely to vary strongly in a normal population (which means variability is most interesting in this case).

For most of the questions I answered in the other similar topic, but for the last question it usually takes 2-5 minutes.

I'm asexual, and generally masturbate once every 1-3 months. I don't usually think of much while doing it, I just kinda do it out of boredom more than anything lol.

I feel masturbation for me is actually necessary.

I'll be awkward here. I masturbate for medical grounds, as frequent ejaculation helps prevent prostate disease. However whilst I can ejaculate I have never had any pleasurable sensations whilst doing so, so technically I can ejaculate without orgasming

I think the first question should be multiple choice. I don't know about everyone else but I certainly don't use the same technique or "material" every time. Sometimes with porn, sometimes without, etc.

The sex on average one threw me off, as it varies depending on whether I'm in a relationship or not, and if I'm with someone who respects my lack of interest in doing it frequently etc

I think we should be allowed to click more than one on the first qiuestion, also in the research thing, I've posted from an article the info that masturbation habits don't distingiush between sexuals and asexuals.

What counts as pornography for the purposes of this poll?

Do the sexual descriptions in romance novels, erotica, and/or biology textbooks count?

There are two section I wish were on the poll.

Sometimes I use a combination of things at different times: visualizing, porn or literature.

I am asexual I do masturbate, but do not orgasm.

responded, the only one that i answered a bit inaccurately was 'how often do you have sex' bc there's no option between one a week and once a month. i guess it doesn't matter much really.

So...kind of a weird question but....has anyone else ever noticed a correlation between eating lots of sweet food and needing to do that?

This poll is being locked and moved to the read only Census archive for it's respective year. As part of ongoing Census organization, and in an attempt to keep the demographics of the polls current with the active user base at the time, the polls will last for one year from now on. However, members are allowed and even encouraged to re-start new polls similar to the archived ones if they like them.
