Addicted to Masturbation

[piesadora]

I'm addicted. I admit it. I masturbate several times a day. I think about sex all the time, and I have to jerk off whenever I get the chance. I have no problem getting and maintaining an erection while masturbating, but when it comes to actual sex with a partner, I have trouble maintaining an erection. It's frustrating. I look for every opportunity to jerk off when I'm alone. I don't know if this is normal or not.

First, most people on solotouch have a similar obsession with masturbation. We think about it much of the time, if not most of the time, if not all of the time. So you are in good company with people who understand.

The classic response to your question is to ask whether your obsession prevents you from healthy participation in other aspects of life. Is it affecting work, school, relationships with others. Yes, most of us have skipped a class, taken off from work, or declined a night out so we could stay home and masturbate. But the question is how often does this happen. I’m an introvert and enjoy alone time even if it isn’t to masturbate, but I realize that science tells us good mental health requires some level of social interaction, so sometimes I leave the house even when I’d rather stay home and watch porn.

So, my unexpert opinion is to ask whether you believe you have, or can attain balance in your life. There’s plenty of time to masturbate frequently and still enjoy other aspects of life. That’s what I strive for.

If having sex with a partner is an addiction, masturbation is an addiction too. I believe masturbation is a type of regular sex behavior. It is just a single-sex activity.
Losing your erection while fucking your partner is not an issue, I had many times, particularly when I was young. I think if you do not masturbate for a couple of days you can keep your erection.

I enjoy my masturbation time, I get off on sharing it too, like to do it naked when i can.
Like the feeling of being naked, aroused and the climax, gets me off knowing others know what I am doing when i do it.

Addicted or addiction are strong words with negative connotations, probably mostly used by people who see masturbation as something shameful or bad. I love to masturbate and as was said above, most of us here on ST are "addicted'.

I've gone through a few phases in life up til now:

- for me growing up in my area and timeframe, it was something not talked about (at least among my friends) and considered something to be laughed at by other boys. No one admitted to doing it. I was a late bloomer and didn't masturbate to completion until I was 18. Before that I used to get erections but didn't know how to make myself cum. My only real exposure to masturbation was as an early teen when another boy pulled out his dick to show a group of us (me plus 2 other boys) how he made himself ejaculate. Other than having a strong urge to feel his penis (which I impulsively did), I didn't know what to make of it or really what was supposed to happen. Although he was rock hard when I was feeling him up, we stopped before he ejaculated.

- At 18, as a college freshman, I saw my first porn movie and there were the usual scenes of couples having sex (all new to me) but the scene that made a BIG impression on me was when a guy stood naked, masturbated and ejaculated onto a salad that a woman was eating. I was with a mixed group of friends and had an erection for most of the movie. Instead of trying to hook up with one of the girls (of course I was still a virgin), I knew I wanted to do what I saw the porn star do, so later that night I jacked off for the first time (in my freshman dormitory shower.) After that first time I was hooked and did it whenever I could (whenever I could find privacy), sometimes up to 5 times a day. If I couldn't do it in my room (roommate gone) or in the shower, I jacked off in various restrooms in buildings around campus.

- After I lost my virginity and started having regular sex with girls/women, I still found I wanted to masturbate. Into middle age I became comfortable with it and my girlfriends, wife, and lovers have accepted masturbation as a part of what we do together and also that I do it alone. During this time I developed a few kinks like wanting to jack off in public places for the thrill of almost getting caught and sometimes doing it where I knew women were likely to see me. If I was "addicted" at any time it was then when I wanted the thrill of the risk. For the most part I could focus when I needed to, but I did miss a meeting at work once when I stopped to masturbate on the way, which I sometimes did. I called my boss to tell him I was stuck in traffic (which I was), but I was actually delayed because before that I had stopped and parked so I could jack off in my car!

- As I have gotten older, sex with women has decreased but I find great pleasure in making love to myself: I know what I like, do it when I'm in the mood, and can take as little or as much time as I like. My current kink, developed over the years, is exhibitionism. If I had a female partner who liked sex in public places, I would do it (I had a few partners in the past who didn't care if we were seen). I continue to like people watching me, which intensifies my orgasm if I ejaculate with eyes on my cock. I no longer allow anonymous women to see me exposed, but am "addicted" to going to sleazy Adult Book Stores and Porn Theaters where I can openly jack off around/for like-minded men (and sometimes get to play with their cocks.)

Anyway, as a very accepting female friend of mine once put it after I shared one of my public masturbation adventures, including my first time playing with another man's penis, "life is short, so enjoy all the pleasure you can as long as you are not hurting anyone."

One other thing I'll add is that given the stigma that in the past was (and still is) attached to masturbation, and that people generally don't talk about it openly (or lie about what they do or don't do), one might draw the conclusion that those of us on ST are addicted when really we are just representative of what everyone is doing. Some in secrecy, some in denial about it, but everyone doing it.

I started masturbating at 12 or 13. I got hooked on it and I would masturbate every day, especially at night. Back then if someone knew you masturbated you would be the butt of the joke and bullied. I even saw a psychologist and every night is make myself promise I wasn't going to going to do it anymore. After having had sex with a woman, I thought I wasn't going to masturbate anymore but as I recalled that first time with a woman I ended up masturbating again. I went from my teens to my twenties and just kept masturbating, nonstop. I got married and most of the time we had sex, I would go to another room to smoke a cigarette, and just recalling how good it was I would masturbate once more. By the time I was in my mid-50s, I would masturbate more often than have sex. Slowly I started to accept that I was addicted and many times my preference is to masturbate than to have sex. I've been in a sexless marriage for about 10-12 years but I've never quit masturbating.

I have no problem getting and maintaining an erection while masturbating, but when it comes to actual sex with a partner, I have trouble maintaining an erection. It's frustrating. I look for every opportunity to jerk off when I'm alone. I don't know if this is normal or not.

Over the years, it was not unusual for me to sometimes lose my erection the first time I was with a new partner or even with an erection, not be able to ejaculate. When I was younger, this bothered me (all the movies and media portray not "getting it up" or maintaining an erection as the ultimate shame for men), but as I matured, the times that it happened, I would just take over with my hand and stroke myself to a nice hard on.

I NEVER would have done that when younger (while I still felt some shame about masturbation), but with maturity I found that my partners and I both accepted it and it actually made the woman hornier watching me (of course having the right partner is a part of it).

Like the previous poster, although I love sex with women, even after an intense love making session where we both were satisfied, I many times still felt the need to masturbate and ejaculate again afterwards. Depending on the woman, sometimes I did it secretly (like in the shower) but other times I did it openly still in the bed or sitting in another room.

One memorable time after a love making session with a relatively new partner, I got up and went into the living room at her place where the TV was still on. I idly flipped through the channels and stumbled across a late-night cable show featuring male strippers which showed them performing with swinging dicks (big ones). My flaccid penis sprung back to life and I stood in front of the TV masturbating, not expecting her to get out of bed. However, she did get up and came into the living room and caught me jacking off looking at men. She had already seen me jack off a few times, but not fantasizing about men. She previously had told me about a few times she experimented with women in college, and I had told her about the time I played with a friend's dick as a teen. Anyway, I felt comfortable with her catching me and didn't want to stop. She laughed and made comments like "you are such a perv", but continued to watch as I stroked my cock fantasizing about men.

After that, she sometimes asked me to jack off for her, and we even rented porn (VHS days) with scenes of men getting pegged or jacking off. Sometimes we had sex watching porn, but usually we would masturbate together and she would watch me get excited and encourage me to jack off watching the guys on screen. I would really get into it watching scenes of men stroking their cocks and would ejaculate after seeing a guy shoot his load, after which she would have a shattering orgasm rubbing her clit or using fingers or a toy in her pussy. Like I said, having the right accepting partner is a big part of feeling comfortable.

I will never give it up; I can't, it's a pleasure that both taunts me and makes life worth the trouble! If that's addiction then so be it. I welcome and adore anything that will make it worse.

Amen!

I am a total masturbator, too. I love it, I can't stop thinking about it. It is the ultimate pleasure in life.

Call me addicted if you want. I am also addicted to water, food and fresh air.

I am also addicted and a total masturbator. I want to open up to the world where I love to masturbate. Sometimes looking at a woman's body, her eyes, and her smile makes me want to masturbate. Reading about other people expressing their desires or experiences turns me on and want to masturbate. I want to masturbate in front of and for that person, to the point I don't care if it's male or female. Yes, I've masturbated thinking of males and doing things to them or they doing it for me.
I am totally addicted and I love to masturbate.

OMG yes! The merest peek up a woman's skirt during the day sends my aroused cock into my hands the instant I arrive home. I'm oh-so-polite to attractive girls I converse with, but underneath it all I can think of nothing else but their lovely breasts and mouths and what's hiding down between their legs. And I too love hearing about how others are just as desperately addicted to masturbation pleasure as I am.

reading your comment made me cum so hard.

I'm a total masturbation addict. Love wanking myself off while other guys watch.
