First, I would probably obsess over how fat I've gotten, and how that makes my erection look smaller than it used to. I was one so skinny that my penis appeared to be huge. Second, I would really like to see my face as I approach and experience an orgasm. Third, I would surely want to masturbate a few times while watching it. Finally, I would destroy the tape before it falls into the wrong hands. I wouldn't mind a stranger seeing the tape and getting off on it, but I would absolutely *die* if anyone who knows me were to see it — especially my wife!

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I would buy an ice cream, and then I would put delicious grated carrots on top and probably eat it with a spoon.
- age 15, New York
I would feel stupid. My slightly curved penis would annoy me — definitely, no turn-on!
- age 35, Netherlands
I would be very proud to watch such a tape. I have only been masturbating for about a year and am addicted to it. I think that if I videotaped it and watched it the next day, it would make me masturbate again. I would probably want to show it to my friends.
- age 14, New Jersey
It would probably bore me. Out of vanity, I might want to see whether my penis looks good. As an amateur photographer, I might be critical of the lighting and composition. But I'm sure that I would find little or no sexual stimulation in images of myself. What I want to see is images of others!
- age 39, Texas
I would probably show it to my girlfriend, and my best friend whom I often masturbate with. Then I would masturbate while watching it. My girlfriend would probably steal it, though.
- age 17, Massachusetts
I never do horror films! On second thought, with my child-size body, my long, curly hair, and my pudgy middle, I would laugh — as I always do when I view slapstick!
- age 61, Michigan
I wouldn't believe it could be me. I never do believe it's me being videotaped. I seem much more foolish on tape than in real life. After my emotional reaction, I would react by burning the tape.
- age 15, California
I would probably be extremely turned on. Some of my friends have videotaped themselves and say it is awesome to masturbate and watch the tape at the same time. I think it would be exciting to see the faces I make and the way my body jerks when I have an orgasm.
- age 20, Texas
"I would want to burn the tape, but
I'd be too captivated by it."
I would be swarmed with guilt. I would want to burn the tape, but I'd be too captivated by it. Odds are that I'd just end up masturbating to it, feel quite guilty, and then get rid of it.
- age 13, Illinois
It would make me want to masturbate with another man.
- age 19, New Jersey
I would get an erection. I think I would get some pleasure out of watching it.
- age 11, Virginia
I would probably feel guilty, stupid, or both, because watching myself would not arouse me. So it would seem weird and different. I'd probably feel like a loser as well. Afterward, I would most likely just want to stick with regular pornography.
- age 16, Texas
I think I would be very turned on. I would like to try this so I could see my facial expressions and hear the sounds I make. I think I have an awesome penis and I would love to see it from different angles. I am sure that watching the tape would make me very horny, and I would masturbate while watching it.
- age 22, Illinois
I'd feel sexy *while* recording myself; but then if I were to watch it the next day, I'd probably feel dirty and despicable.
- age 17, New Jersey (female)
I would probably get all into it when I was videotaping the event, and then the next day totally freak out at the fact that I actually did it. As in, "How warped is this?"
- age 28, California
Don't get me wrong: I love to masturbate and I love my body exactly the way it is, but I just don't think I could watch myself masturbate. I would feel exposed and turned off. However, I have often said that if I were a girl with a guy's hormones, life would be perfect. I would videotape myself every day, masturbate to no end, and definitely be a lesbian. Now, I just need to figure out how to tell my mom what I want for Christmas.
- age 17, New Mexico
I think at first I'd feel more than a little embarrassed at seeing me on TV, exposed and aroused. However, I think as I watched, I would get more and more aroused, looking at my body and what I am doing to myself. Then I'd probably have to masturbate again as I watched.
- age 26, Illinois
First, it would be a nice turn-on to videotape myself, doing all those nice things to myself. And it would probably give me even greater stimulation the next day to watch it. But the best thing would be if one of my friends were to join me in doing it.
- age 17, Sweden
I would probably start laughing at myself. Later, I'd probably want to show my boyfriend.
- age 18, California (female)
I think I would be surprised at how well I masturbate. I would love to videotape myself. But what if my mom were to find the tape and watch it? That would suck!
- age 13, Hawaii
I would love it. I would send it to my girlfriend so she could masturbate to it.
- age 18, Colorado
I would probably be like, "I look like *that* when I masturbate?" It would probably be like watching a porn movie with me as the star. I'd probably be aroused and interested. It's not every day I see myself masturbating. Overall, it would be a weird experience.
- age 16, Texas
My initial reaction would probably be guilt; but that would soon be replaced by my curiosity, as I would then analyze my technique. And then, that would most likely be overcome by the overwhelming desire to masturbate while watching me masturbate! This would be a real turn-on.
- age 23, Australia
I'd probably find it interesting, and that would probably be about it. I've seen it done so often in real life, watching it on TV probably wouldn't be much different.
- age 17, Colorado
It would be a great turn-on. I love to see anyone, including myself, masturbate. What is special about seeing me is that I know exactly what I'm thinking and feeling and can re-live the pleasure. I would watch it once just to see it. Then I'd rewind it and masturbate exactly as in the video, for a simultaneous orgasm.
- age 26, West Virginia
I would love to watch myself, as it would give me confidence and would probably turn me on.
- age 16, Wales
At first, I would get horny. Then I would notice the slightly overweight, middle-aged, less-than-average-size penis staring at me, and that would totally turn me off.
- age 42, Oklahoma
I would like it very much. It turns me on to see any guy masturbating, especially myself.
- age 14, Florida
If I were to videotape myself, I would want my girlfriend to watch it with me the next day.
- age 28, Oregon
I'm not sure — I would be embarrassed.
- age 17, Indiana (female)
I'd be scared that my parents would find it.
- age 15, Ohio
Most likely, I'd want to experiment with different camera angles. Soon, I'd be an addict, making my own porn videos!
- age 37, Washington
It would depend on my mood. I might want to masturbate again if I'm already turned on. Otherwise, I think I'd probably laugh at my face. I'd look at it again later to see how the orgasm affects the different parts of my body.
- age 16, Mexico
I would feel embarrassed at the sounds I make and how I look — especially my face.
- age 27, California (female)
"Masturbation is one of the most unattractive
things to see yourself doing."
It would be disgusting. Masturbation is one of the most vulnerable and unattractive things to see yourself doing. I wouldn't want to tape myself taking a dump, so I certainly wouldn't want to tape myself masturbating.
- age 16, Illinois
If I did that today, It would turn me on tomorrow because I *love* to masturbate with several full-length mirrors around me. I imagine that the mirror images are my twins or clones, and we're all having an *awesome* time together. I'm not full of pride, nor do I look down on others — I just turn myself on!
- age 27, Tennessee
I would watch it with all my baseball buddies, before a big game, and we would all masturbate to it!
- age 17, Indiana
I wouldn't believe what I was watching. When I'm masturbating, I'm a *totally* different person.
- age 12, Florida
As I picked up the box containing the tape, I'd start breathing faster. My hand would shake as I take it out. Then I would play it. I'd feel great masturbating as I watch it; my heart would be on fast-forward. Soon the moment I have been waiting for would come, and then it would be all over, with the tape ejected.
- age 15, Massachusetts
I would love watching the tape the next day. It would be interesting to see myself masturbating because I don't know what I look like when I do it. I would also like to see the stupid look on my face when I have my orgasm and ejaculate all over my stomach, and then just watch myself lie there in relaxation after it is over.
- age 15, Pennsylvania
I'd probably end up wondering, "Wow, does it really look *that* silly?"
- age 18, West Virginia
I expect that I would find it extremely exciting, and I would masturbate to orgasm again as I watched it. I would be especially aroused watching myself ejaculate, since I know that my volume of semen is always considerably greater than that from any of my friends, and I can squirt it several meters. I would probably freeze the picture just as the first large squirt came out so that I could study the incredible expression on my face.
- age 15, Netherlands
I would look very sexy and horny on the tape. I would look my best and do my best to look sexy. The next day I would watch it with my boyfriend. We would watch it, pet, play, and get hot. Then we would have sex together. It would be fun. Thanks for the suggestion.
- age 23, Michigan (female)
About a year ago, I probably would have felt a little ashamed, but I'm not like that anymore. It would probably turn me on. Actually, yes. I am quite sure it would turn me on.
- age 14, Florida
I'm surprised that I know myself this well. I surely wouldn't offer the tape to anyone else to see. So, being an adult and unable to use the "mystery" of the act as an excuse, I'd inevitably begin considering the narcissistic leaning in the deed of making a tape of *me* — just for *me.* That would cause me to freak for sure and abandon the idea forever. Then again, masturbation is the only way to be sure you're having sex with someone who loves you, isn't it?
- age 53, New York
It would probably feel weird. I wouldn't be feeling the sensation of what I was doing on the tape, so I doubt I would be intrigued or turned on. It's just the sensation of the moment; a recap does nothing for me.
- age 16, Canada (female)
I would love to videotape myself. To watch it the next day, I would be somewhat embarrassed. However, I would love to watch other people's videos!
- age 35, Massachusetts
I'd most likely enjoy watching it, and I'd masturbate while watching it — but I would also probably feel perverted or gross after doing so, because even though I love porn, I don't really see myself doing something like that. It would almost be shocking. I'd probably be a little disappointed with how my body looks, but I'd be very happy with how my penis looks, because I'm larger than average and very confident because of it.
