Ok, so heres a little background:
Im in a 7 month LTR relationship, its a healthy relationship. Sex is good, though not as often as I'd like (logistic issues) but other than that its good when we do it.
And here's the issue: ... I like to masturbate, maybe a lot. When I masturbate I get a different kind of sensation than when having sex, it feels different, not better just different. On the days when I know I won't have any sex with my girl I masturbate, because I like how it feels, I get turned on by something and I masturbate... Ive read a lot of things about masturbation.
Somewhere I see that its not OK, some other places they encourage it. Hell, even my GF says a man should masturbate at least one a day to release those chemicals.
I don't feel I have a problem with masturbating a lot. Maybe I do, but then again, I don't know how other guys are...
Can anyone relate to something like this ?? I'd like some input here. Thanks!

lol....



really?

as often as you want whenever you want as long as its in a private place like your home or your gf's or something not at work or public washrooms.. then u have a problem.... or in public...

i sometimes hit it up 5 mins AFTER sex with my gf.. lol.. it DOES feel diff.. sometimes she watches sometimes she just goes n showers.... meh....

if it starts affecting your sex life tho.. then maybe calm down...

but really?? you posted this? haha... hilarious.

Dude you shouldn't judge or criticize people for what they post if they have a real concern. We're all homies in here you know. The forum exists because in real life it's so difficult to ask embarassing questions. Actually this question is one of the most asked in teenager magazines. Just to have a vision how many people are unsure about it.

btt: BridgeBurner is right. You can do it as much as you want. Some doctors tell it's healthy for your body, I don't have proofs but at least no doctors are telling that it's bad. So yeah either it does nothing or it is healthy for you.
The only times when masturbation is bad is when you do it instead of something else. As long as you do it when you have time for it, it's no problem. Even if you want to do it in public, it's just your sexual preference to exhibitionism or so. Also no problem.

Sometimes I do it only once in a week. Sometimes 5-10 times a day. Don't worry so much about it.

Holy shit is that even possible.. and why would you want to even if it were possible.

Personally, I try to keep it down to 2-3 times a week, because it gives me more motivation to game.

Thanks for the replies, makes me feel "normal" .... Mostly when I masturbate its because I am bored, its a good excuse... I get home from work exhausted, sometimes when I don't go to the office I masturbate more than 2 or 3 times that day. The only time it actually has interfered with my sex life is when I masturbate the same day I have sex. But for me, its easier to cum when masturbating than when having sex, its just different speed, different pressure ... whenever I want to cum already there are a few positions that can make me cum in minutes.
I just stared to feel a little weird, you know being on a sexual active relationship, not like in the past where it never went past kissing.
I sometimes combine masturbation with porn.. I don't know why it makes it better, I guess maybe the fact of seeing different girls, or the excitement that this porn movies show, picking up a "stranger" and that kind of stuff. I don't think I'm addicted to them, there are days when I forget about both of them, or days (like today) when I don't want to even if I try.
Its nice to hear some feedback from other guys in here.
Thanks!!

haha, I'm a master jurk-offer ^^
However this gave me a lot of problems in my relationship, like I said I'm a master haha, sometimes I jurked off for like 6-7 times in one day, then my gf showed up with porn and all on my 2-screened-master-porn-pc.

1: she got mad
2: I couldn't get my dick up when she wanted sex (unexpectedly).

But still I mastrubated like crazy ^^

actually guys, just the way that you say "wow really, how can you go a week without doing it omg"..

Anyway, i can tell you my expirience with this.

I used to wank about once a day, it happened that i wanked at university some times, because of stress, and it helped me.

At a time me girlfriend found out i was wanking to porn and she got really sad. she didnt like it.. Now, she knew and i knew that i shouldnt stop just cause it made her sad.. But i said "what the hell" might aswell give it a try.. because i felt that i needed to change things..

So i went three months without watching porn, but still wanking from time to time, but more rarely, and never public places.. I could control it, if i had to do something else, i wouldnt do it.. And i think most people cannot control that, i think many of us find ourself saying "let me just wank this bugger out and then i can continue..."..

Im in a long distance relationship, and everytime i get overthere, i get the most amazing time with my GF, the most amazing orgasms that i never could get alone, and that is really something that motivates me..

I feel like not watching porn actually made me focus alot more on feelings and emotions, made it easier for me to enjoy orgasms with me girlfriend, made me cum faster (before it would take me ½ hour), and so on..

I feel like i get less egotistic with my girlfriend too..

Anyway, this is just my expirience, i feel like its alright to wank, and i do it, but for me personally, i felt like not watching porn was a great help for myself..

Anyway you probably dont want to hear this, but if you want i can try to elaborate on it. I can only recomend to try it for some months to not watch porn..

I was always more emotional when I was horny, and thus I gave myself away to my gf. After watching porn I was more myself and could control my emotions better, and gave her a little less then before.
