One time I was humping the mattress while talking on the telephone to a girl friend of mine. I wanted to keep my humping secret, even though I was breathing hard. She kept asking what I was doing and I just said my room was humid and I was having trouble breathing. I had to be so careful and I had such an urge that I couldn't wait until I got off the phone.

My girlfriend and I exchanged erotic computer messages across our office. Then we went to our respective bathrooms at the end of the hall and simultaneously masturbated, and then we returned to our desks with smiles on our faces.

For a long time I did it no-hands in a pillow, but recently I started using my hands. Since it's a foreign concept to the one-eyed sergeant, it takes 20 minutes to an hour to ejaculate, but it feels really good. The first time I did it with my hand, it felt so good and I was so happy I could do it without staining my pillows!

I remember the first time my husband bought me a vibrator. I didn't like to masturbate and he convinced me to try the new "toy." I did and the orgasm was the best I could have possibly dreamed of. We have sex much more often now, and I love the new experiences I get using my toy. I'm just sorry I waited so long!

Once me and three of my friends, after seeing an episode of Seinfeld, bet who could go the longest without masturbating. Well, after about a week only one of us was out and we were still going strong. Then one of my friends got my girlfriend to come over to my house. She danced naked for me and masturbated for me. When I did it for her, she handed me a note from my friends saying I'd been had. I lost 20 bucks, but it was great!

My most memorable was my most frightening. I had just gotten home from school as my sister was leaving. Nobody else was home, so I decided to take the opportunity. I went to the laundry room (I don't know why I chose that room), stripped down naked, and started masturbating. Well, she came home a little earlier than I had anticipated, went to her room, and called someone. Our laundry room is right next to her room, so I couldn't get out. If I had even breathed deeply, she would have caught me. I was trapped! There I was, for about a half hour. Finally she shut her door and I ran out of there. I've never been more terrified in my life!

Last year I went to mow my aunt's yard while she was away. It was so hot and I was soaking wet with sweat. I took off my clothes and jumped in her pool. No one can see in from the houses next door, so I got out and lay on the lawn chairs. I don't get naked outside much, and I had a huge erection. I kept slowing masturbating and tried to see how long I could do it. I got so close so many times and then quit. It was awesome when I finally did it, naked outside and with such a buildup.

When I was 16 we went on a family vacation out West. One night we stayed at a hotel in Vegas. The next morning I was feeling super horny so I declined going down for breakfast, giving the excuse that I wanted to sleep longer. While my mom, dad, and sister were downstairs, I masturbated on the bathroom counter and had an amazing orgasm with my brush handle in my vagina (the only implement I had available). What made it even better was being able to watch myself in the big mirror! To this day every time someone in my family mentions "that great buffet breakfast we had in Vegas, too bad you missed it," I just smile to myself and remember the great time *I* was having, too!

In an airplane going to New York, my seat was near the bathroom. All night I saw hot girls going in and out of it. I was completely turned on, so I went into the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, took out my penis, and used soap for lube. The turbulence helped greatly. I ejaculated so hard that I shot onto the mirror. It was so good because it was a dangerous and risky situation..

My most memorable time was the first time I masturbated in front of a woman. We didn't do anything to each other; we just watched each other masturbate. At first I was pretty nervous, but I soon forgot my fears and just concentrated on how erotic the experience was. To this day I have never ejaculated as much or as far as I did that time.

When I was in the Navy, I once masturbated outside on top of a deck house at night. I was really horny after getting off watch, and there was no privacy where I slept. So I went outside, climbed on top of a deck house, stripped down, and lay on my back stroking it under the stars. I had an incredibly intense orgasm and then spent some time lying there watching the stars. Part of what made it so intense was the danger of getting caught, and thinking about how many other guys onboard were masturbating right then!

My most memorable time was lying in bead with candles lit, rubbing oil all over my body, and watching myself as I orgasmed.

One of my friends and I were lying in bed. We decided to play a game of strip poker. I lost, and when he saw the size of my penis, he said he wanted to masturbate me. We masturbated each other and had probably the best time of our lives.

My most memorable experience was in the toilet on a Greyhound bus, with my girlfriend cramped in there watching me.

The first time, of course, is in a class all by itself. I remember everything about it, including what I was thinking about. (But you said to keep this clean!) Of the subsequent sessions, the most memorable is one that followed an uncomfortable abstinence period – and was it ever refreshing!

Of course the first time was most memorable. I didn't really understand what was going to give me pleasure; it took me the longest time to understand what my clitoris was and how wonderful it is. (I think this process of understanding pleasure takes longer for girls because masturbation for us is even more taboo than it is for boys.) I was 16, lying in bed, up late watching Saturday Night Live. Everyone else was sleeping. I start moving my finger in circles around my clitoris, still watching the TV, but it got to be too much and I turned my attention to my body – buildup and more buildup until I went off, shaking, and feeling the contractions from head to feet.

Having married when she was young, a friend of my wife had never seen a man masturbate. To make a long story short, they enlisted me to educate her friend. The orgasm I had in front of them was the most powerful I have ever experienced. I was nude; they were clothed. To this day if I need to be aroused, I think of that occasion. I think I am a closet exhibitionist and that is what makes this my best memory.

Last summer I visited my older brother, who lives near Chicago, for a couple of weeks. I was doing the laundry for him while he was at work. I was in the laundry room of his apartment building moving clothes from a washing machine to one of the dryers when I got a major boner and just had to masturbate. I opened my jeans and shot a load into one of the empty washing machines in less than two minutes! I knew someone could walk in on me at any minute, but that just made it more exciting. That's the only time I've ever done it in a public place.

My boyfriend and I had been fooling around for a while. We decided to try getting me to reach orgasm, since I never had. He masturbated me for about 20 minutes, and finally I felt this incredible sensation pulse through my body leaving me very tingly, breathless, throbbing, and very wet. After that experience, I learned how to do it for myself and have discovered one of the best ways in the world to kill time!

Worst experience: I was lying on my bed stark naked, happily masturbating when my mother came in without knocking. There was no way to cover up, and I was embarrassed to death. Best experience: I was hiking and fishing in the high Sierras on a warm, sunny September day, and I discovered an absolutely beautiful fishing hole on a section of the stream well away from any traffic. After fishing and skinny-dipping, I climbed onto a flat rock in the sun and lay back, using my clothes as a pillow, and masturbated for an hour or so before allowing myself to ejaculate. The setting was so perfect I'll never forget the pleasure of that experience.

I was on a hike alone in the mountains one day. The day was hot and I was getting horny. A tree came into view, and I decided to take a breather in the shade. No one was around for miles, so I stripped naked, braced myself against the tree, and had a great masturbation session. After I ejaculated I was covered with sweat. It was my most memorable experience because I could take my time stroking my penis with nothing to disturb me.

I remember the first time I masturbated – I was about 10 years old, and my best friend and I were on top of the monkey bars at the park. She started rubbing herself against one of the bars and suggested I try it – instant addiction! We both did it like that for a while, and now we do it many other ways, but that is one technique I will never forget!

After six weeks of boot camp at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, I couldn't stand it any longer. I went into the head [bathroom] to masturbate while the rest of my company was asleep. It was pretty risky since there was a guard patrolling and the stalls had no doors. I ejaculated pretty quickly and shot over the top of my head and into my eye.

It was when I first bought a tube of K-Y Jelly. I had heard so much about this lubricant that I had to try it. I went home and lathered up my penis with it. The feeling was phenomenal. I had never felt this sensation in my life.

My most memorable time would have to be when I recently tried your Baggie & Mattress technique. I had just broken up with my girlfriend of two years, so going from regular sex to masturbation was a bit of a let-down. But your technique is the closest simulation I've ever heard of. It was the best orgasm from masturbation I've ever had!

When I was in high school, my buddy and I went to visit his sister in Washington. I had a really bad crush on him but I didn't want him to know. We had to share a double bed, and when we were going to sleep I told him I was really horny and would he mind if I masturbated? I was hoping he would join me, but he didn't. He just lay there listening to me, and our sides were touching. Even though it wasn't sex, it was explosive. I just fantasized he was doing it with me!

My family owns some secluded woodland property. I was tired of sitting around the house because it was hot, so I slipped out to take a walk around the many miles of trails on our property. As I was walking, I felt myself getting an erection and thought, "What the heck!" I pulled out my penis and just stroked it as I walked. A few minutes later I came to a clearing with the view through the trees and the sun beating down. I couldn't resist any longer. I dropped my pants and pulled my shirt off and masturbated like mad. It must have shot three feet in the air!

It was over the Christmas holidays this year. My parents let my girlfriend come to Hawaii with us. They went out to lunch one day, and my girlfriend and I went to the beach. When we got back to the hotel room they still weren't back. My girlfriend had that special look in her eye, but we didn't have any condoms because we had run out a couple of days before. So we masturbated each other on the balcony overlooking the surf. It was great!

Once I took this stuffed bear I had and went outside totally naked to a house next door that was empty. I humped the hell out of the bear. It was the best orgasm I ever had.

I remember the first time I ever masturbated. I was 16 and totally naive sexually. I had heard my brothers talk about masturbation a few times before, so one night I decided to try it. When I ejaculated, it scared the hell out of me. I sat up most of that night wondering what I had done. I didn't try it again for almost a year, but after that, boy – was I hooked.

I had joined the Navy. During boot camp, your time to yourself was nonexistent. Boot camp was three months long, and it was frustrating for a horny teenager to go so long without masturbating. One night while standing guard duty in the barracks I started playing with myself and got very excited. I had to finish what I started, so I went into the showers. I sat down with my back to the wall, took out my penis, and started to stroke it. It didn't take long to ejaculate. Never before or since have I experienced such an intense orgasm with an unbelievable volume of ejaculate. I still remember the feelings and emotions. Most of all, I wish I could duplicate it.

My mom had bought a travel pillow with a vibrator in it. One day while I was home alone, I got the vibrator out of the pillow. It was a black box with a switch on the top. I put it in my pants and fastened them, then took off my shirt so I wouldn't get semen on it. I lay on my back and thrust upward. It felt so good.

When I was 15, I went to my cousin's house and while they (both boys) were going to sleep in the same room. I masturbated myself to a frenzy under the covers. The best part was that they didn't know, but I did!

My most intense, uninhibited experience was on a summer camping trip when I was 17. Ironically, I slept through it all. I awoke suddenly overcome with emotions about the dreams I had just experienced. I found that the boy sharing my tent had slipped his hand inside my sleeping bag providing the stimulus. He did not appear in my dreams, which were about a girl and a boy that I really wanted to get to know, but never did. It was 1949. I never talked about this with anyone, but wished it would happen again. I was 29 before I had sex, but never achieved that freedom and intensity. It is well known that when people sleep, stimuli (usually sounds) are incorporated into the plot of a dream, although I have never seen discussion of erotic dreams.

I was a salesperson at a large department store. I was up on the top shelf in the warehouse (about 25 feet off the floor) getting down some boxes, and I decided it was a good time to masturbate. For some reason, it was *incredible!* Maybe it was the danger aspect, not knowing if someone would look up and see me. I'm still not sure if there were security cameras where I was, but I did notice the Loss Prevention (security) people smiling at me for a few days after that. I think I gave them a good show!

I can't forget the time I masturbated while working as a lock operator between a river and a lake in a large city downtown. Hundreds of recreational boats would pass through daily carrying women in bikinis or semi-nude, and on occasion, fully nude. One day the women were especially beautiful, which forced me to drop my pants and stroke myself to orgasm right there in the control tower. When the boaters noticed that the lock gates were not opening they began to blow horns and even call on the radio. They made it out okay.

I remember the first time I used lubrication. Usually I would rub on a soft cloth or other material to masturbate, but I once found my brother masturbating in the bathroom, and he was using hand lotion. I tried it and it was awesome! It was so much more slick and smooth. I had never really used my hands much before that, either. Now I'll never go back to those pre-lube days.
