Ever since rooming with a guy in college who masturbated when he thought I was asleep, I have to admit I get very turned on by the sound of someone approaching orgasm, male or female. Nothing gross or loud — just tiny sighs and deep breathing becoming more and more intense, halting suddenly at the moment their universe explodes in an orgasm. That sound turns me on more than any other. Runner up: The ocean against the hull of a sailboat while you masturbate at night.

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I'd like to hear what would sound like a raccoon or opossum walking on broken glass. Then with it, I'd want to hear a thousand staplers all stapling at once, followed by the sound of Bruce Willis slamming down a phone and yelling, "Fine! Screw you, too!" and then footsteps coming toward me. That would take my senses so many places at once I would just get so confused, my orgasm would be mind-blowing! Yeah! The Stones forever!

I would like to hear sounds of other people getting off, like in a porno. I get so horny when I hear people moaning and reaching orgasm!

There are two things I really love in life: my boyfriend and music. So I would want to hear him masturbating to a slow and funky bass line. The combination of his moans and groans and the sexiness of the bass would really make me wild.

I would love to listen to a recording of my girlfriend masturbating. To hear her sighs, moans, and ragged breathing when we have sex is always a tremendous turn-on for me. Being able to hear her play with herself and react to her self-touching while I'm pleasuring myself would be amazing.

I would listen to the ocean and the breaking of the waves. I think this is because I grew up near the ocean, and sometimes I actually have masturbated in the ocean.

You might think this a bit strange, but my fantasy sound is a guy talking dirty in a foreign language, like German or Czech — those languages with harsher sounds. I heard a guy talk like that once, and it totally blew my mind. I had no idea what he was saying, but the sound of his voice drove me crazy. So often now when I masturbate, I fantasize about a foreign lover saying things to me as we make love. It always works!

I would listen to the sound of my hand smacking my testicles. I don't know why, but I like to see my hand go up and down my shaft and I love to hear that smacking sound.

I actually have the infamous scene from "When Harry Met Sally" on tape. It's great.

I would have to say music from the video game NiGHTS, for the Sega Saturn. That music gives me the best erection, and just lulls me into an explosion of orgasmic pleasure. Instruments and strange sounds come together perfectly for a dreamy atmosphere that just promotes masturbation.

The sound of an ice cream truck. I don't know why, but it just does something for me.

I'd just want to hear rain or a waterfall — so relaxing. I could just lube up and drift away.

I really enjoy listening to other people having sex — the sound of a man as he reaches orgasm. His breathing deepens; he strokes much faster. The sound of a woman as she climaxes — she might sigh or inhale deeply. Just listening to others having sex is great. I even enjoy listening to guys masturbate: the sound of the lube making almost a sucking sound, their breathing getting deeper as they reach the point of no return. It's all great.

It would be the moaning guys make when they go at it. When I masturbate, I think about this cute guy at school masturbating next to me, and hearing his breathing and moaning. It really turns me on.

I would listen to nature sounds outside, like waves or rushing water or the wind in the trees...or a thunderstorm! I love the idea of making masturbation as spiritual as possible, and feeling connected not only to my body and my sensual pleasures but also to nature around me. I sometimes make a lot of sounds myself — mostly panting and whimpering — and I think the joining of those natural sounds with my natural sounds would be incredible, both sexually and spiritually.

My fantasy sound would be the slurping noise of well-lubricated fellatio with a few "mmm's" and "God, I love your big..."

I don't know how this started, but I like to hear my brother and his friends talking when I masturbate. My brother is 11 and has a lot of friends sleep over. For some reason, it turns me on to masturbate while I can hear them talking in the next room, knowing they could come in and catch me at any moment. I really don't understand why I have this weird fantasy, but I have decided to just accept it for now.

The pleasant background music of Raphael's "Bolero" is soothing at the start, but then the beat and intensity steadily increase to a climax that is so "viagiferous" and orgasmic.

I like to hear NO SOUNDS! That way I know I'm on my own and I won't get caught.

This actually happened: One night I was canoeing at 3:00 A.M. and removed my clothing to let the warm summer breeze blow across my body. The water lapped against the side of the canoe. Before long, I became aroused and soon was stroking myself to a powerful orgasm. It was a perfect setting with the breeze and the sound of the water. Also, the sound of geese on the lake added to the setting.

My "fantasy sound" would have to be my ex-boyfriend moaning. He had a really low, crackly, sexy voice that turned me on so much. One time he brought me to the big O just by loudly whispering close to my ear. I wouldn't want him talking, though — I would want those noises he makes when he is tired, or when he is masturbating, or him purring. He purred when he was really tired. My God, you've got me all turned-on just thinking about it!

When I was in a long-distance relationship, my absolute favorite sound for masturbating was his soft moaning and panting when we had phone sex. Dirty talking was also a major turn-on. The sound of whoever climaxed first usually drove the other over the edge. It was wonderful, and I still think about his sounds when I masturbate.

I love to masturbate while my brother is sleeping. He has this really loud snore that is strangely erotic. It sounds like a girl moaning. I know this sounds weird, but it gives me such a sensual experience.
- age 13, New York
I love listening to my parents having sex in the room next to mine. It may sound strange, but it gives me amazing orgasms.
- age 17, Ireland (female)
I love to hear someone breathing heavily over the phone, or if I see someone "helping himself." For me, it's any sound that makes me start to fantasize about what another person could be doing sexually just then.

I have a crush on a girl and would love to hear the sounds she makes when she masturbates. This might sound odd — I don't even know that she masturbates. But if she does, I would love to listen to her. I would like to hear her moaning or groaning. Then I would want to hear the sounds her fingers make when they go in and out of her vagina. That would be the greatest thing to have on a CD!

My best sounds: rain pattering on my tent in the middle of the forest in the high mountains; the rustle of my sleeping bag as I stretch and writhe in ecstasy; my partner's sleeping bag being unzipped, his penis being masturbated, and his breathing deepening as we realize at this moment in the darkness that we can join as one and masturbate together — maybe even go further as a couple. Alone. In the wilderness. Only breath of life, rain of joy, and wilderness light.

I would most like to hear the sound of waves at the beach. Last summer my cousin stayed with us at the beach. We went skinny-dipping one night and we both ended up getting erections. So we went to a spot in the sand dunes where nobody could see us and masturbated. The sound of the waves reminds me of it and gets me to thinking about the next time my cousin will stay with us!

I listen to Richard Strauss lieder [songs] while I masturbate, for he wrote some of the most sensually orgasmic music there is — at least for my ears, and my penis.

Thunderstorms really get me horny, and whenever there is a storm, I get hard as a rock and usually have to masturbate, no matter what. If I could, I would masturbate to a thunderstorm every day and then some.
- age 14, Australia
Sounds? Humans moaning in sexual ecstasy. No words — or maybe muffled and unclear ones — leaving room for my imagination.
- age 33, Brazil
Overall, I find sound to be most important while I'm masturbating. I usually close my eyes and just savor the sounds of things around me before climax. The sound I enjoy most is nature. Masturbating outside on a bright sunny day, hearing birds chirp and the wind gently blow through the trees...I can't think of anything more perfect.

My fantasy sound actually came true. I often fantasize about the sounds that other guys make when they masturbate. One night, a friend stayed over at my house. We shared a full size bed. As I was falling asleep, the bed started to move. I heard him breathing heavily and the sound that his hand made — the slight moans he made when he ejaculated, and then the sound of his semen moving up and down on his penis as he continued to masturbate. I did the same shortly after he finished. I hope he heard me and that I fulfilled a fantasy of his.

My best friend's voice. When I masturbate I imagine that he is with me — shouting my name, breathing heavy and hot, right along with me. Just hearing his voice usually drives me to masturbate. Imagining that I can hear his voice while I am at it sends me over the edge!

The sounds of women whispering!

When I "spank it" I like to hear things like "Uhhhh," and "Ohhhh!" Or, they could be moans. That's pretty much the only noise that turns me on.

I would love to listen in on other people's telephone conversations — about mundane things perhaps, but also people having phone sex. I once used a scanner and heard people having a very erotic conversation on a cordless phone. But I didn't listen for more than a few seconds because I felt it was wrong. However, if I could listen and it wouldn't be wrong, that would be incredible.

The sound of a woman making involuntary whimpers as she reaches orgasm. However, they must not be loud. They have to have a restrained quality to them, but at the same time, that sort of uncontrolled and involuntary feel.

I like to hear another boy do it while I masturbate. For the last 3 years at summer camp, I've listened carefully to the furtive sounds of others masturbating in my cabin. Some make more noise than others. Some even grunt when they get close to climax. That sound really turns me on, and I do it at the same time and with the same rhythm. A couple of guys do it every night, so I'm sure of a turn-on after lights out! I know who they are and wonder what they'd think if they knew that I knew what they were doing! My best friend often masturbates when he sleeps over, and I lie there and listen to him. Then I masturbate when he's done. I'm sure he knows I do this.

My fantasy sound would definitely be the sound of a woman's wetness. It's hard to write a word to describe it, but I guess the best I can think of is the "squisha-squisha" noise produced when a woman fingers herself. I've been treated to that noise over the phone a couple of times, and I'll tell you — it is heaven!
