Where people reported the length of their "longest sessions," generally the shorter times went with the younger respondents and longer times tended to go with older respondents. A few people reported periods of one-half to several days when they would masturbate, stop short, turn to something else, and then return to masturbating later, winding up with a quite powerful orgasm.]
My longest masturbation session was over 30 minutes. I was with my girlfriend, and she had me lie perfectly still and totally relax every muscle. Then she masturbated me using variations in speed. I don't know how I held out so long, but I did – and it was well worth it! Since then, I have lasted almost the same length of time during an individual session using the same technique.

It happened just after I had had intercourse for the first time. I was still strongly affected by the experience and somewhat worried I might have gotten her pregnant. Still, I was highly aroused as I remembered the event. I was alone, so I decided to masturbate. It took close to 15 minutes; my usual is about 5.

About 90 minutes. It went so long because I used very little touching and focused on breathing and massaging the natural lubricants (I think it's Cowper's gland secretions) around the head of my penis. I never touched the shaft. The orgasm was *very* intense. As I recall, I ejaculated so forcefully it hit the wall over my head. I couldn't even get up to take a shower for several minutes.

I tried to last for 15 minutes because that was the target time set in a sex book (3 sessions lasting 15 minutes of masturbating before orgasm) as a start to preventing premature ejaculation. I did it for the prescribed 3 times. Then it said to masturbate with lubrication 3 times for 15 minutes, but I couldn't do that.

The longest I can remember is 2 hours. I kept changing rooms, methods, and sex toys. I started off, as I often do, in the bath (I believe that washing my breasts and genitals should be a pleasurable experience!), then moved to my bedroom. By the time I was finished, I had climaxed 5 times in 4 different rooms.

Defining a session is difficult. Often I masturbate very early in the morning without ejaculation. Then I return to it throughout the day, again without ejaculation. In fact, I have gone days without having an orgasm. A session can last for anything up to 2 hours. When I do ejaculate, the force is considerable – far stronger than starting and continuing straight to ejaculation.

It lasted almost 2 hours. For me, the best way to masturbate is to treat my penis as if it's a girl's clitoris (well, only larger) – the way a woman would treat her clitoris when she masturbates. If I relax all my muscles, I can have a very long, sort of "floaty," relaxing session with an intense orgasm at the end.

I was 14, and after masturbating I decided to keep pumping. Within a minute I had a second orgasm. I kept going and I think that all in all, I had about 6 back-to-back orgasms. It lasted about 45 minutes. Wish I could still do that.
- age 43, Texas
My longest session was about 20 minutes. I sat down on the ground and went very slowly. I didn't squeeze at all. It was such an incredible orgasm – I don't think I've ever ejaculated so much in my life.

It happened about a year ago. I had planned this for a long time – the whole family was away for an extended weekend. I rented some videos, bought some new magazines (in addition to what I already had) – plus pictures and stories I had downloaded from the Internet. I put a futon mattress down on the family room floor (there's a TV/VCR there), bought some fine liquor and special lube, and settled in for an 8-hour session. I climaxed only 3 times, but I prolonged each session for at least 2 hours! (I usually finish in less than 10 minutes). I didn't use any special techniques to prolong other than "holding off." (I didn't know then about JackinWorld.) When I finished, I went to the local YMCA and took a steam bath. That night, I slept better than I have in years! Despite the temptations to repeat, I cleaned up the next day and removed all traces. I hope I can do this once a year.

The longest time for me was 20 minutes in the shower. It took that long because it was really hard for me to ejaculate standing up. When I finally did, the orgasm was really intense, but I didn't do anything unusual to make it last long – I just kept pumping away.
- age 15, Canada
Three hours – I used a dildo.
- age 34, Belgium (female)
My longest masturbation session was about an hour and 10 minutes. Man, it was the best ever! I still try almost every day to beat that record. I kept going so long because I was thinking about my girlfriend at the time and what we usually did when were together. Also, I used the "Stop & Go" method mentioned on JackinWorld.

I often wake up in the morning with an erection to end all erections. In fact, it's frequently the erection that wakes me, because I feel it as I roll over. I feel very aroused and can't help but stroke it with one hand while alternately circling the tip of my penis with the other and then squeezing my testicles as hard as I can. As the pleasure intensifies, I close my eyes and just enjoy the waves of pleasure that sweep through my body. Often I can go one for some 30 minutes like this before exploding with mind-boggling pleasures. Sometimes I don't ejaculate but still find the moment intensely pleasurable.

My longest session was 4 hours. I had just started taking Paxil for depression, and one side effect can be difficulty in achieving orgasm. Let's just say I'm stubborn and kept pelting away for *far* too long. Finally, I achieved a very painful orgasm.
- age 23, Ontario, Canada
My longest session lasted about 12 hours one summer vacation when I was alone. You can't prolong a session if there is any disturbance. I just lay down and fantasized. Then I sat or stood and did all kinds of things. I always stopped short when I got that rising feeling just before climax. I also touched other parts of my penis and body, using different speeds and pressure. Above all, I put my mind into enjoying the masturbation for as long as I could. That was probably my most important goal.

I once went for about 10 hours. I had multiple climaxes and eventually had to stop because it hurt. But, it was oh so good!
- age 23, North Carolina
I once went for 30 minutes. I was feeling really horny but wanted to make it last. So I started masturbating as usual, but then stopped and just rubbed my nipples without touching my penis. It felt almost like I could ejaculate without masturbating. My penis was quite hard. When I finally did ejaculate, it was the best ever!
- age 13, New York
My longest session happened when I was 13 and was home from school, sick. I got my favorite things I liked to masturbate to, and then I got on the sofa and went for it. I was so horny I would try to prolong it and stop just short of orgasm. This went on for hours. My mom would call to see if I was feeling okay, and I would talk to her while I was still going at it. The hardest part (no pun intended) was going to the bathroom after being so erect for so long. When I finally allowed myself to climax, it was a huge one and I stayed hard afterwards. It lasted a total of 4 hours.

My longest session happened on what I call a "Lazy Sunday." I just decided it was a day where I would see how many multiples I could tally up. Pretty soon I stopped caring about counting. Being female also helps, because my body didn't lose arousal, and I could just do it over and over without needing a refractory period.

It lasted for about 2 hours. I was wearing just my underpants and watching an adult movie. I kept stroking my penis with a couple of fingers through the cloth of my underwear. When the movie was finished, I lay down on my bed, keeping my underpants on and continuing to stroke my penis. An hour later I took off my underpants and began to pump. Soon I got a fantastic orgasm and a large amount of semen squirted onto my stomach, chest, and even my face.

My longest-ever masturbation session lasted almost an entire day. I would start but kept getting interrupted. The end result was good, though, so maybe those stops were good after all.
- age 14, Michigan
On several occasions, I got engrossed in stories and pictures and masturbated until I was almost ready to ejaculate. Then I'd stop and start up again. I kept this up for nearly 5 hours. When I did ejaculate, I had such a strong orgasm I nearly passed out. But lately, I can't stop and restart – I have to go all the way. Being a widower, I get off about every day, usually by myself. Occasionally I'll masturbate with a friend who is divorced.

It was about 2 hours, with 5 orgasms. I had a girlfriend do it with me. It lasted so long because we had a lot of energy. We went for a couple of hours with only a few rests, but we did rest. We didn't do anything to prolong it – we just kept going and going, with lots of energy.

One evening about 4 years ago, I felt extremely aroused and had a masturbation session that continued throughout the entire night. Again and again, I would bring myself to the edge of inevitability and then back off. The amount of "pre-cum" I produced amazed me. I could squeeze gently around the base of my penis or rhythmically contract my pelvic muscles and it would ooze out in a near-constant stream Finally, when I let myself go to orgasm, it was absolutely incredible and satisfying.

It started one day after school. I had been horny all day long and decided I wanted the best orgasm I'd ever had. When I got home, I got naked and hopped in the tub. I masturbated for about an hour and a half, using the "Stop & Go" technique. It was so tempting just to go for it, but the end result was worth it. I also used the end of a broomstick with a condom and lube for anal stimulation. I love to stimulate my prostate, and it certainly adds to the orgasm. The length and temptation of the session combined with the prostate stimulation added up to one of the best orgasms I've ever had.

My best and longest sessions were when I watched a neighbor who has since moved. She was a sexy girl – blonde, about 5-feet-5, average weight, probably a C-cup, with nice curves. I could look down on her from my yard as she sunbathed in hers. I often saw her with her skimpy swimsuit untied and got some great views. I would masturbate for hours as I watched her, prolonging it as long as possible until I exploded. I would take my wife's panties from the laundry hamper and use the silky material to rub my penis. God, I miss that girl!

My longest session was last summer when everyone in the house had gone for the day. I woke up and masturbated first thing. Then I stayed naked the rest of the day, erect much of the time. I must have climaxed at least 5 times. I never cleaned it up, either – just let it dry on me and went at it again.
- age 16, Oregon
It lasted a little under 2 hours. I wanted to see how long I could stay erect and stimulated without having a full orgasm. To prolong my pleasure, I would take 10-second breaks every time I felt like I was about to ejaculate. During that 105-minute session I had at least 20 mini-orgasms. When I finally did allow myself to climax, it was very intense, and the amount of semen was 2-3 times my normal amount.
- age 40, Ohio
My longest session was two-and-a-half hours one evening. I was home alone and just lay on the couch, watching TV and not really thinking about sex, just every now and again having an erotic thought. So I didn't climax, but I stayed hard. I think it was only when a sex scene came on TV and I started cranking the speed up a bit that I finally had an orgasm.
- age 17, United Kingdom
I like to masturbate for more than an hour. When I watch an erotic movie, I ejaculate within 15 minutes – but when I do cyber-sex, I can masturbate for an hour or two. Then I get a really intense orgasm with lots of semen.
- age 19, Netherlands
I was reading a fantasy book. Every time I came close to climaxing, I'd take my finger off my clitoris until I calmed down. Then I would take it up again, when I started to get hot. I think I lasted a good hour or so.
- age 31, California (female)
I'd say my longest session was about 30 minutes. I was rubbing very slowly but with lots of pressure, and I'd speed up for short periods of time and then slow down when I felt I was about to climax. I don't know why, but since I went so long, the actual stimulation felt better than the orgasm! But, when I do a session normally, the orgasm feels better than the direct stimulation.

It was with my girlfriend. When I met her she had no masturbation experience and really wanted to know how to please me as easily as I could please her when I masturbated her. After a couple of weeks of intense "training," she was really good at it. She knew when to hold off and when to go again and to rub my scrotum and not to stop during my ejaculation. We went at it for two-and-a-half hours, and it was the most intense orgasm I have ever felt.
- age 18, Ireland
My longest was around 30 minutes. I stopped just before my white stuff came out, and then began masturbating again. I used a two-finger method (like an "okay" sign) and stroked my shaft. For me, it lasted longer and the end result was great.

This past summer my two best friends and I were on a long drive back home after a hiking trip. I had driven for about 3 hours on a winding mountain road and needed a rest, so one of the other guys took over. I was horny for some reason and wanted to masturbate, taking a long time doing it. My friends and I had masturbated together a few times on the hiking trip, so I wasn't worried about them. The method I used was to take a gentle pinch of the skin on the underside of my penis, just beneath the head. I rubbed that little pinch of really sensitive skin between my thumb and forefinger. I did that for about 2 hours. The orgasm was one of my most intense, and the amount of semen was incredible! My friends laughed like mad when I had to change boxers and hiking shorts. When I have the time, I still use that method, but it takes a lot of will power to keep on masturbating that way when the sensations begin to build.
- age 21, California
My longest session went for 4 hours! My friend and I were alone in my room. He was masturbating me and teasing me. He told me to tell him when I was about to climax. Then he would stop, wait a while, then start again. We went like that for hours. When I finally climaxed, it was huge – bigger than I'd ever done before. We haven't done that again – yet.

One time when I was feeling particularly in *the mood,* I got naked and lay on my bed. To heighten my experience, I tied my feet to the end of the bed. Then I read a romance novel and really got myself wet and excited. As I started to finger my clitoris, being tied down really made me feel submissive. It was *wonderful!* The whole thing lasted about 20 minutes and was one of my best experiences *ever!* I get worked up just thinking about it! Um... I think I need to go now....
