When my wife and I were still dating, we were on college summer break and she had come to visit my family at my parents' lake house. We had not seen each other for months and it was almost impossible to find time away from my folks in the rather close quarters. After 3 days of furtively making out and "petting" whenever we had a half-second alone, we could hardly contain ourselves. One night, we snuck down to the docks beside the lake with a couple of blankets. We cuddled up in a large chaise lounge and our hands *immediately* got to work masturbating each other. With all of our pent-up sexual energy and the anticipation, my orgasm was nothing short of phenomenal – so strong, in fact, that my entire body convulsed violently when I ejaculated, bucking her off of the chair. The anticipation, the desire, and the *incredible* orgasm make this my most memorable masturbation experience.

One time I masturbated while wearing a sombrero in the Antarctic.

I remember when my now ex-girlfriend masturbated me for the first time. The visual stimulation of her naked and stroking my penis, along with the novelty of another person touching me intimately for the first time, drove me to an especially powerful orgasm. It was fun to be able to share with my girlfriend in such a very personal way. It brought us much closer together and led to much better things.

On a Saturday, I didn't have any plans and my parents weren't home. I think I masturbated about 11 times that day. I must have gone through a whole box of Kleenex.

I was camping with my family at a naturist site on a volcanic mountaintop in central France. Circumstances had denied morning sex, so I strolled (naked, naturally) to the edge of a circular plateau to photograph volcanic cones that trailed off into the distance and were sharpened by the slanting sun. Overcome with yearning, my penis stiffened. I needed to get it down before I returned to breakfast, so I stood facing the view and masturbated for the entire world to see. Because of shrubs and grass my lower torso was invisible but I could see the world. The orgasm was huge and intense.

When my best friend and I were 14 years old, we were swimming in his pool naked one night. He talked about using the pool jets to masturbate, so we both went to the shallow end of the pool and took turns sticking our penises into the water stream from the pool jets. That ejaculation was one of the best I have had in a long time of masturbating.

That would be the time that I used too much oil-based lube. I wanted to finish quickly because my mom and dad were going to be gone. After I lubed up, I went into the spare bedroom totally naked to get something to clean up with. I forgot that the door locked behind me, so I couldn't open it – my hands were too slippery. I was trapped. So I decided to climb out of the window and go around to the door. I didn't want my parents to find porn on the computer and me naked alone in a room. I got back inside without being seen and got rid of the evidence, so all was well.

Once I slept alone in the same room as my friend's girlfriend. As we were changing, we saw each other naked, because the room was very small. However, we knew each other well; we had spent a lot of time together. Still, it made me very horny. I lay on my bed for about half an hour, waiting for her to go to sleep. By then, I was so eager to masturbate with somebody in the room that I took my underwear completely off and started stroking, not covered or hidden by anything. A few minutes later, I found her looking at me. I started to feel very strange. I had some indescribable feelings down there, and although I wanted to ejaculate for her, I couldn't achieve the orgasm – perhaps because I was so terribly aroused. We wound up watching each other masturbate. When I finally did ejaculate, I sprayed my semen everywhere. We never told anybody, but I hope we will do it again.

Three of us were sleeping over at my friend's house. I had recently discovered that they are circumcised, and since I am not, I was curious. When they fell asleep late at night, I started to touch myself. I wondered what masturbation would be like if I were circumcised. So, I used some lube, rolled my foreskin back, and masturbated as if I were circumcised. My orgasm was amazing because my head [glans] was so sensitive.

I was 19 or 20 and hiking in the woods behind my grandparents' house. For some reason, I was quite aroused (hey – at 19 or 20 it was probably because the wind was blowing). Anyway, I knelt down behind a tree, opened my pants, pulled out my penis, and began to stroke. I remember feeling the breeze and the sunshine on me as I enjoyed myself. I also became acutely aware of my surroundings. In a very short time, I ejaculated a large, white puddle of semen into the dirt. But to my surprise, I was still as aroused as before my orgasm, so I continued to stroke until I had a second orgasm. That one was an incredible release, and I am still trying to recapture it.

One night when my family was out, I decided to shave my genitals. Shaving is a huge turn-on for me. By the time I was finished, I had a strong erection, so I lay back to masturbate. After some 30 minutes of very pleasurable stroking, I ejaculated, and my mind and body kind of melded into an extremely pleasurable experience. It was like the pinnacle of self-pleasure; I don't think I'll ever experience anything like that again, whether through having sex or masturbating. I'd love to know how I did it.

I was on a flight to Seattle – an early-morning red-eye with the plane only about a quarter full, and very cold. I took my blanket and pillow to an empty row in the back, lay down across the seats, got comfy with the blanket and pillow, and unzipped my jeans beneath the blanket. I snuggled in and took my time, just nice and slow, not much motion above the blanket but lots going on underneath. I just loved it that there were people so close by who had no idea what I was doing, and it was much better than the in-flight movie!

Probably my first time. When I was younger I had a tight foreskin, but I was too shy to talk to anyone about it. Because of this I couldn't masturbate for a long time. Then in puberty, my penis started to grow at a different rate than the foreskin, and one day I realized I could pull it all the way back. I didn't intend to masturbate, but I did it repeatedly, just because I could. I wasn't prepared for the extremely good feeling that followed!

I went to college in a southwestern U.S. city, where summertime temperatures would "cool down" to around 75 degrees after sunset. Just out of town, primitive car tracks wound through rolling desert terrain – a favorite area for making out and other after-dark activities. One warm night a friend and I, who had enjoyed masturbating together for some time, drove out along a car track, parked, stripped, and enjoyed walking nude among hillocks that were 4 to 6 feet high. The soft breeze felt marvelous on our skin and genitals; the wide expanse of night sky with the city lights glowing off to the west was inspirational. We sat down cross-legged in a patch of soft sand still warm from the daytime heat so that we could masturbate each other at the same time (a first for us). After some mutual stroking, we could feel the other stiffen as our orgasms approached, and then we ejaculated together into the sand. Suddenly, I saw beams of light bouncing in the air nearby – a car's headlights – as it bounced around a hillock and caught us directly in its beams. We had been sitting in the middle of a car track! By then, we were both up and running over behind a hillock, where we crouched, panting and growing quickly flaccid. The car had stopped; the driver was out walking around; and our hearts were pounding wildly as we realized that my car and our clothing were beyond the intruding car. Eventually, the driver got back into the car and drove off. We crept back to my car, dressed, and decided to keep our adventures indoors from then on.

When we were both 12, my best friend spent the night at my place and masturbated in front of me. He was much more developed than I was, and seeing him masturbate and ejaculate changed my life forever. I still think about it sometimes these days when I masturbate, 22 years later.

One night recently I was coming home on the subway from a Washington Wizards game. My friends and I had stopped off for dinner afterward, so it was very late; in fact, we caught the last train of the evening. My friends got off two stops before mine and as they departed, I realized that I was alone on the train. I had been horny all night so I thought, Why not? I unzipped my pants, pulled out my penis, and started stroking it, right there on the Orange Line! It was an incredible experience. It took me only about two minutes to climax, but it was possibly the best orgasm I have ever had – solo or with someone. I think there was something about being on the train that did it for me.

When I was around 16, I liked to masturbate in front of my mirror (very erotic). I had a bathroom attached to my bedroom, so it was easy to do this often. One day I was wanking away in my bathroom with the door open, and the next thing I knew I heard my mom's voice asking me where I wanted my newly ironed pants hung up. After having a mini-heart attack, I pulled myself together and saw that her back was turned toward the closet. To this day, I don't know whether she saw me. Who could forget that?

I had cybersex with a girl from school once. I could never forget that – mainly because I was more ashamed than anything else!

About two years ago I was in Italy with a friend whom I had often fantasized about. He was in the bathroom shaving. I looked through the keyhole (the hotel had the old-fashioned keyholes) and saw my friend masturbating on the toilet. I watched and slowly started to masturbate through my underwear; I was supposed to be asleep until my turn to shower. That was the most powerful orgasm I ever had. I climaxed just before my friend did. Then, I was shocked to see him lick his semen off his fingers when he was done. I will remember that moment forever.

Without doubt, it was when another person first masturbated me instead of me just doing it myself. Both men and women have masturbated me since then, but I think that first experience – by a woman and before I had had sex – was the most significant. I crossed a bridge into a new phase of discovering my sexuality.

Last year around this time, I had tried to give up masturbation for Lent – but after about a week I started to have very explicit dreams about a girl I know from a nearby high school. The next night I woke up in the middle of the same dream, as I was humping my bed covers. About 30 seconds after I awakened, I ejaculated – without even touching myself. It was my best orgasm ever!

Last summer I spent two weeks getting to know a group of family members I had never met – they live in Florida. I spent most of my time at my aunt's house and found the idea of masturbating there to be wrong. Usually I do so daily, but somehow I made it for two weeks. By the time I flew home, my erections were uncontrollable. So, at 35,000 feet I walked into the airplane lavatory and masturbated. The orgasm was intense, except for the fact I hadn't locked the door all the way, and someone pushed it open just as I ejaculated. I quickly kicked it closed and wiped up.

It was my first orgasm. As I got close, I realized what was about to happen. It felt as though my entire body was being pulled upward by an invisible force. I screamed when I climaxed, and as soon as the waves subsided, I broke into tears due to the emotion and release of it all. I had waited 25 years for that, and to this day, it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

I once used Ben-Gay as a lubricant. I'm sure everyone's done something like this – either with Ben-Gay, Vicks Vapo-Rub, or Noxzema. Initially it felt great, but then it started to burn...and burn...and BURN! I would have sworn there was smoke coming off my penis (a circumstance usually reserved for excessively enthusiastic stroking and petroleum-based lube) – never again!

My best friend and I were hiking in New Mexico on a long, multi-day backpacking trip. We hadn't seen many people (much less any women) on the trail. The day was drawing to a close, and we were both quite tired. After we set up our tent, he and I climbed up a small mountain peak and masturbated into the sunset. Ha! All in all, a good experience.

During a backyard picnic when I was 14, I left the party and went into the house. The upstairs bathroom I entered had no fan and a thin door with an open ventilation window above it. I started to masturbate and climaxed quickly, but I wanted to go for a second one. This turned into a marathon season, but after about 10-15 minutes of stroking, panting, and finally moaning as I climaxed, it was over. Flushed and still breathing hard, I opened the door to find my 19-year-old cousin with two of her girlfriends and an older lady staring at me. They all had smirks on their faces and looked to be holding back laughter as my wide-eyed cousin asked, "Feeling better?" The absolute humiliation I felt is unfortunately what made it so memorable.

When I was 18, I was on a beach with a friend one night in Ft. Lauderdale. We were slightly drunk and he suggested we skinny dip. This quickly turned into a mutual masturbation session. Watching him in the moonlight with the ocean breeze and watching him watching me was so intense. We achieved simultaneous orgasms. This was when I admitted to myself that I was gay. I have had great orgasms many times since then, but none quite so memorable.

I remember the first time I ever had a multiple orgasm. There was nothing especially erotic about the situation. I was sitting in the living room waiting for my sister to finish primping in the bathroom so we could leave. She was taking forever and I was alone, so I started to touch myself, racing time to see if I could climax before I heard her leave the bathroom. I climaxed quickly – but then as the feeling started to subside, it whooshed back up again – even more intense than before. Afterwards, I just lay there dumbfounded and kind of lightheaded. My sister emerged and we left. It was a struggle to act normal while I was still floored over having had the best orgasm of my life.

Just over a year ago when I came across JackinWorld, all my lifelong fears about masturbation were ended. As I viewed the site, I got a firm erection and had a great time reading the pages. I couldn't hold out for long and had to try a technique other than the standard one I have used. I knew all along that I was not alone. I will never forget the rush I felt, and still do feel when I sign in. I will pass this site on to my son so he will not have to suffer all the misguided fears and questions without answers as I did. Thanks to all who contribute to JackinWorld!

Once I stayed late after school with a friend of mine. I had to go to the bathroom, so he followed me in. I stood at the urinal and then jokingly remarked, "Gee, wouldn't it be funny if I masturbated right now?" He thought it was funny too, but then I decided I was really going to do it. I got an erection and began to stroke. My friend stood guard and said, "If I start coughing, you'd better stop." So I stroked for about 5 minutes and then climaxed. I wiped up my semen, and then we both left as if that had been a completely normal occurrence.

During two years, in 1997 and 1998, I was strongly influenced by religion and felt guilty about masturbating. When I would masturbate, I had an extreme problem with premature ejaculation. Eventually, I was psychologically ready to accept masturbation again, and for the first time in two years I had a perfect masturbation and ejaculation. This was the greatest masturbation session of my life.

I remember the first time I masturbated without guilt. I was 15 and I remember the orgasm feeling great – mainly because it wasn't just a hurry-up-and-finish type of thing. Instead, I could enjoy it, and then afterwards, bask in the afterglow. Everything is better when you don't feel as though it's wrong.

Back when I was a junior or senior in high school, I was hanging out with a friend who attracted me very much. I left his house feeling incredibly frustrated sexually, since I lacked the confidence to do anything about my feelings at the time. Instead of driving straight home (it was about 2:00 a.m.), I just wandered around and eventually wound up out in the desert. So I parked, lay down in the bed of the truck, and masturbated. I stared up into the incredibly star-sprinkled night sky, felt the cool night wind brush across me, and listened to the night insects sing. It was probably the best relief I've ever given myself.

My most memorable experience coincided with my best orgasm. It was a rainy night, and I had not "taken care of business" for some 3 days. Lying under my bedcovers, I managed to execute JackinWorld's "Tiny One-Fingered Circle" technique perfectly. The key for me was discipline: keeping my breathing steady and not flexing "that muscle." My orgasm lasted about 3 times longer than usual. At one point I think I even slipped into another dimension of the universe!

My sister and I were in high school, and I masturbated so we could look at my sperm under the microscope. We were home alone. I dropped my pants. I was still soft but started to get an erection instantly. This was the first time my sister had ever seen me with an erection. I felt very strange masturbating in front of another person. I dropped my semen into a test tube so we could make slides.

I was 12, masturbating, and had just ejaculated when my mom accidentally walked in on me. I totally freaked with embarrassment and was very apologetic, but my very cool mom explained that it was a normal, natural, and healthy thing to do. She actually encouraged it. Now, she totally respects my privacy and buys me lotion.

I was about 13. Nobody would be home all day, so I knew I wouldn't get caught. I stripped naked and masturbated in the backyard. We hardly have neighbors, so I would not be seen. It's my most memorable session because I felt so free. Besides, my father is quite religious, and it was excellent to do something different and out of his control.

I have masturbated for years, and my girlfriend and I have also been together for quite a while. She would often tease me about masturbating, and I felt self-conscious about doing it. One night we were fooling around in bed together, and I don't know what came over me, but I just grabbed hold of myself and let nature take its course. I could tell from my girlfriend's reaction that she was definitely not disappointed. Now I realize that her years of teasing me were an indirect way of asking to see me "in action," and I no longer feel self-conscious about masturbating in front of her.

Two years ago, my best buddy and I took our families camping together at a private-access, secluded beach. After the kids were in bed and the wives were chatting, we went down to the water together. We swam nude, then lay out together under the full moon. We gave each other back rubs, and one thing led to another. Wanking away there side by side with my friend on the soft sand, with no sound but the ocean and the rustle of the palm trees, led to the most explosive and long-lasting orgasm I have ever had. It was great for both of us!

On a winter retreat, at night in the hotel room, one of my best friends was asleep on the bed beside me. His low, calm breathing turned me on. Not only was the session great, but also the orgasm was intensified by the idea that in a way, I was masturbating with my friend.

I was in the shower, and sat down (something I do now fairly frequently since discovering this). Instead of controlling my breathing to make it silent (learned after years of sleeping in shared dormitories), I let myself breath fully and deeply while I masturbated. When I finally climaxed, I experienced a *huge* tingling all through my body, my vision blacked out for several seconds, and it was a really intense orgasm – one of my best. I have tried to repeat it since then with varying success, but no solo experience has ever quite equaled the first time I stumbled across this way of masturbating.

I once masturbated on a city bus. I was the only person in the back half of the bus and was sitting on a seat that faced the middle. I decided to pull out my penis – nothing serious – but then got the urge to stroke it. I did it quite discreetly and *very* quickly. I thought I wouldn't ejaculate very much or very far because I only stroked for about a minute, but when the orgasm came, I ejaculated almost to the seat on the other side. That was pretty stupid of me, but nobody noticed because they were all facing the front. That is the only time I've ever masturbated in public, and it was a *huge* rush.

Last summer I was in a drama course and met a really cute girl. We got quite "close" and went back to her room, where we started making out. She put her hands down my boxer shorts and started playing around. I became erect immediately and started to caress her breasts. Unfortunately, the people supervising us cut our fun short when one of them knocked on the door, came in, and told us it was 10.30 p.m. and time for bed. I returned to my room, trying to hide my erection, and then masturbated to the most powerful – and messy – orgasm I have ever had.

When I was 15, I masturbated in front of a friend. Nobody had ever seen me with an erection before, and the thought that someone was actually looking at my naked body and watching me stroke my erect penis was awesome. Before I reached orgasm, I got to watch him ejaculate in front of me, and this was more than enough to give me an immediate orgasm. I think the expressions on our faces as we reached the point of no return must have been bizarre. I will never forget that time when I shared such an extremely private experience in front of someone.

Last summer, my cousins came to spend the night. The next day, one cousin and I took off on 4-wheelers and went up into the woods while my other cousin was trying to catch up with us on another 4-wheeler. We lost him, pulled onto an off-trail, and parked. We were both really horny, so we decided to masturbate. At first I was shy, but then my cousin told me there is no reason to be, so we did it side-by-side. The fact that someone else was masturbating beside me made it erotic, along with the chance of being caught by my other cousin. It was great! I have never forgotten that incident and wish I could do it again.

Since discovering JackinWorld one year ago, I've learned much and overcome guilt and fear that have been with me for decades. When I first tried the "Tiny One-Finger Circle" after abstaining for a few days, I followed the instructions precisely, took plenty of time, and was totally relaxed throughout the session. When I finally ejaculated, the orgasm went to the depths of my being. My toes curled, my legs lifted off the bed, and I felt as if I were leaving my body. The orgasm continued for what seemed like a minute; the semen flowed in a thick, continuous stream for several seconds, and I was totally released of all tension, stress, or care.
