Other responses complained about lack of privacy, where roommates or family members can interrupt a session at any time and sometimes do. These respondents preferred to keep their masturbation private but wanted to be where they could feel free, be totally naked, and make as much noise as they wish. Some respondents wished masturbation weren't so "wrong" and guilt-provoking.]
I'd like a female friend to do it for me — then I could return the favor. I am way too shy ever to ask a girl to do that for me, but I do think of it often when I masturbate. I picture the girl of my dreams masturbating me and it makes my session way more pleasurable.

I would change the fact that it feels best while I'm on my stomach. I'd like to masturbate in other positions.

I would probably change the orgasm intensity. I always find myself vaguely disappointed. It doesn't seem as good anymore — still good, but not as good.
- age 16, Canada
I would have my husband join me — either to help me, or for me to watch him masturbate along with me.
- age 17, Oregon (female)
I'd prefer my roommate to leave the room before I masturbate. I usually try to do it when he's gone, but often I just can't hold off. So sometimes I do it when he has his back turned. It's insanely difficult to masturbate my rather larger-than-average member inside my pants and still not have my roommate notice what I'm doing! I wish he were blind. Maybe if I send him to this Web site, he would be!

I'd have it last longer, with mini-orgasms before the final shoot!

I'd boost the intensity. I'm a once-a-day kind of guy, but when I go without masturbating, or right after a date, my body is so eager for release that every touch is like lightning. It's the only time I lose track of everything but the feeling. I'd like to be able to lose myself in the session without having to go for a week with no release.

I wish I had more time to enjoy it! Being married with children puts a damper on time and place for me. Waiting to be alone at home is like waiting for a miracle — or at least it takes an act of Congress! It would be nice if I could have more time to myself, not have to rush, and work on techniques I discover here and elsewhere.
- age 46, Texas
I have always wanted to masturbate while someone was watching me "without my knowing it." So if I could change anything, it would be to masturbate someplace more conducive to someone being able to see me doing it...without getting in trouble, of course!
- age 29, Michigan
I'd make it quicker. I've gotten so used to taking things slowly and delaying orgasm that now if I want to do it quickly, I can't. I'd like to be able to do it really fast again so when I only have time for a quickie, I can still masturbate.
- age 20, Canada
I'd change what I think about. I would like to think of mutual sex instead of cheap sex.
- age 15, Minnesota
I'd like to be able to bend far enough to stimulate myself orally.
- age 15, Connecticut
I wish I could know that someone was watching me do it — like from a window. I love the idea of someone thinking I don't know they are watching me. The idea of being spied on is a real turn-on.
- age 28, Canada
I would have my boyfriend there to watch me.
- age 17, California (female)
I would definitely change the guilt trip afterward — and the messy cleanup.
- age 16, Australia
I'd like to have the courage to eat my semen when I am done. I am not gay, but sometimes I like to taste semen. However, I never have the courage to eat the entire load.
- age 23, Texas
To masturbate in public would be fun — or in front of a man, or just anywhere someone would be watching!
- age 15, Sweden (female)
I wish I could have a vibrator to use instead of just my hands. A friend let me use her body massager once, and it felt so good. Now I want to get one because it's great to feel those vibrations against my clitoris — and I don't have to move a muscle. I just press it against that whole area and enjoy!
- age 16, Nevada (female)
I usually masturbate to pictures on the computer. I wish my wife would join in, or just watch me.
- age 35, Louisiana
I would like to have a girl there to watch me masturbate. I am by no means gay, but it would be such an extreme turn-on for a girl to get aroused while she watches me — she might finish my job or even begin her own!
- age 17, Maryland (female)
When I masturbate, I'd like to be able to get multiple orgasms as females do! I greatly admire them for being able to have so many orgasms in one session.
- age 26, Sweden
I hate getting all sweaty. The time when I get most aroused is when I have clean sheets and clean jammies, but then I masturbate and get all sweaty and ruin it. However, it's still worth it.
- age 29, California (female)
I would build a masturbation room equipped with everything I need. Then I could strip naked and stroke it for as long as I wanted.
- age 23, New Jersey
I want to have a masturbation partner. Not to be gay or anything, I just want to masturbate with my friend. It would be an interesting experience. I've seen him practically naked and could see the outline of his penis through his boxers. It seems pretty big. I wish I could see it. It may turn me on more and make my masturbation session a lot more extreme.
- age 17, California
I would like to change the location where I get off. I live in a city and everywhere outside my home is a public place. I would like to get off somewhere private like on a beach, in forest, or in a field out in the middle of nowhere.
- age 13, Germany
If I could change one thing, it would be to have my wife with me. I don't know whether she knows that I masturbate, but I would love to have her with me when I do. We could either masturbate each other or masturbate ourselves together.
- age 28, Maine
I would stimulate my anus more often. Also, I wish I could buy sex toys without my parents knowing it!
- age 20, the Netherlands
I would like a bit more time. I often steal some time away from my office to masturbate in the lavatory, but I prefer to masturbate at home. Work and family keep me so busy that I have little time to myself. I really like to have enough time to go nice and slow and experience every bit of pleasure I can.
- age 27, Illinois
I wish it would last longer; it takes me too long to "recharge."
- age 34, New York (female)
I would like to last longer. That's my biggest priority right now. I would also like to be able to do it in front of other people. For example, my girlfriend wanted me to masturbate for her, but I was too shy.
- age 14, Texas
If I could, I'd like to wank in more public places. I've already done it at the movies and in the locker room. I think it's the fear of getting caught that I like. I'd also like to do it on an airplane.
- age 16, California
The one thing I would change about my masturbation session is whom I do it in front of. I love doing it in front of my girlfriend, but I really want to do it with another guy. Nothing against my girlfriend; I love her very much. But there is just something about masturbating in front of or with another guy that seems so exciting.
- age 17, New Jersey
I wish I would stop having gay fantasies. I'm not gay, yet I masturbate to gay fantasies. I just wish I could be normal.
- age 16, Italy
I would like to do it in a car with tinted windows parked on a crowded street. Being able to masturbate right there, inches away from hundreds of people without anyone seeing me would be a huge turn-on.
- age 18, New Jersey
I would love for another woman to be in the room watching without me knowing it and then reveal herself right before I climax.
- age 21, West Virginia (female)
The one thing I would change is the fact that I am scared to go inside myself. I would like to penetrate myself soon — yeah! That would be it!
- age 15, Oregon (female)
Condoms — I love to ejaculate into condoms. Although expensive, they are the ultimate in masturbation experience. They look and feel hot on my erect penis, they provide lubrication, and they eliminate the mess. I rarely have them, but when I do its a real treat!
