Masturbation. It's one of those things that many asexual people do, and it confuses the crap out of people. This might be because a lot of sexual people think of masturbation as inextricably linked to sexual attraction (the idea being that you masturbate while thinking of someone you're attracted to). This got me wondering how much (if at all) masturbation habits differ between asexual people and the general population.

 

I tried to make the answer choices pretty comprehensive. If you think I'm missing something, please let me know.

Are we talking about masturbation because of the "itch" or masturbation because of a "Guess I should do that"?

@Jade Cross I guess I'm including both. I didn't really consider the "why" important for this thread.

1) Never.I've never gotten turned on in my life.

 

2) I don't masturbate.I just don't feel the need to.

I know for many female-bodied people it can be heavily dependent on hormones. I know a lot of ladies who may masturbate multiple times a day nearer that time of month, but have no interest outside of that week or so surrounding the monthly time. Not sure if guys experience the same thing (due to not having those massive monthly hormonal changes) but I know for me as someone with a female body that's how it works. It's so annoying!!

 

Edit; I wrote "I know" three times in that paragraph. I'm meant to be someone who is paid to write well, so I don't know what's up with my english today :P

I'm still a little unsure as to whether or not what I usually do actually counts as masturbation, but I think it does so that's what I'm going with for now. 

 

1. I think I said once every few days, mainly bc that seemed the most accurate, but it's not definite. 

2. This one was much easier to answer. There is a definite 'thing' I think about, and said 'thing' is decidedly NOT sexual in any way. Honestly, I can't really see myself doing it much (if even at all) if it wasn't for those thoughts. The act itself doesn't interest me; it's just what happens when I get carried away by my thoughts. Though from the current poll results, I can see that's probably the least common answer. Oh well, I never wanted to be 'normal' anyway. XD

I mostly just get it over with. It is OK for a small dopamine hit after a while, but I don't really look forward to ever doing it, it is more of a bleh thing that bothers me if not taken care of.

To me, it's whenever my brain decides out of the blue, which can go anywhere from days to weeks to months. And it can be done using pretty much anything or nothing.

Never. I tried it once several years ago as an adult for the first time, because with the whole "sexual positivity" and "females are sexual too!" I was seeing on the internet, I believed I must somehow be sexually repressed. I have no sex drive, so this just didn't relieve any "itches" or "urges" as I didn't have any to begin with, so the extra production of mucous membrane was just an annoyance. It just isn't for me, so I don't plan to try again.

I do masturbate.. But i always get grossed out and offended by it. Cause i personally find it disgusting and immoral(and touching my genitals always makes me uncomfortable, disgusted and unclean).. which is the main reason to why i wanna stop it.

Once or twice a week

Spoiler

I might go a week or two without doing so, but this has resulted in medical issue for me so not good for me.

Roughly between once a week to about twice a month, variable with mood or hormones perhaps.  Preferring feminine methods than masculine methods.

Most days. Fantasies not involving people I know or porn

I've put once every other week, but it's more like a few times a month at a specific time of the month. I feel a surge in libido about two weeks before my period. (Ovulation time I'm guessing).

I have fantasies involving fictional characters.

I experience neither. I pleasure myself because I enjoy this feeling and may be inclined to experience it, I just could never have partnered sex.

Because I’m sexual, I’m not voting. But the answer is never. I just don’t have any urge to do so and when I’ve tried, got absolutely nothing out of it. Fantasies and porn/erotica just make cringe. 🤷‍♀️

I have no idea is this is weird or not but the frequency has definitely increased for me with the insomnia I've been having recently. More of a just, "I'm bored, maybe I'll do this" type of thing. But it still kinda grosses me out and I don't think about anything in particular.

I like to masturbate, but I feel weird like as a woman it's not normal for me to masturbate once a day. Like there is a stigma for women but not men.

I really enjoy it. I don’t really fantasize, just focus on the sensations, I do it every day and have been since I was a kid

Fun fact is that I usually do it while doing another activity unrelated to sex. As a kid I used to read my normal kid-friendly books and nowadays I usually play a family friendly video game like Zelda or Animal Crossing. Only in rare circumstances I imagine some lewd kind of things. It can help but it's no must. It's pretty much more for the sensations.

 

Also sometimes I can barely stop, sometimes I forget it even exists lmao. But generally spoken "Once every few days" did fit to me the most.

 

Discovered it when I was 3 and only got the idea that it could be sexual when I was 12. It's a normal habit to me, always been, even when the actual sex drive started to develop.
