Having someone else do it to you is best. It's kind of like tickling — it doesn't tickle when you do it to yourself. It's the sense of unpredictability that makes it so exciting. Plus, you don't have to worry about coordinating your hands and arms. You can use all of your mental capacity to just sit back and enjoy the "sensory input."

This Week's Wackiest Response:
I like it when a rabid bunny masturbates me. It just reminds me of my girlfriend — she lays eggs.
- age 17, California
I've never had a chance to masturbate or be masturbated by someone else, although I have always wondered what either would be like. I might enjoy both, but I probably would prefer masturbating a woman to see her reaction to my pleasuring her as she wants. Having her masturbate me sounds interesting and intriguing.
- age 58, Pennsylvania
I think the best is masturbating someone else while they are masturbating you. This makes it all more exciting, and the orgasm is better.
- age 15, Sweden
I like masturbating other people, whether it's my guy buddies or my girlfriend. I get incredibly turned on, and then I masturbate myself afterward. My girlfriend loves the looks on my face when I masturbate her. She says it's like I'm a kid in a candy store.

Definitely, masturbating someone else is best. I love to watch my boyfriend tense up and feel his penis get extremely stiff before he climaxes. I think it's neat to have that kind of control over someone and make them feel so good.
- age 15, Illinois (female)
It's definitely better for someone else to masturbate you. With someone else doing it, you can kick back and let them do all the work while you relax and totally enjoy the sensations. Someone else's hand always feels better than your own, especially if you masturbate frequently. Besides, with someone else doing the masturbating, their hand gets messy, not yours! Mind you, masturbating someone else can be fun too, as it gives great satisfaction and a major feeling of power when you can make someone else climax.

Someone else masturbating you is best, definitely! Another hand on your member is the most sensual feeling. You don't have control; it's all up to them.
- age 16, Texas
I prefer masturbating myself to being masturbated by another person. But in my experience, I most enjoyed masturbating another person. It was great. Until then, I had masturbated only myself. If I got together with the right person, I'd like to do this more often. It's certainly much more fun if you have someone to share the experience.
- age 40, California
Someone else masturbating me would be better. I mean, there's something about someone else touching me in intimate places; it's just not the same when I touch myself. It gives me a sense that I'm being mischievous, that I'm doing something that I shouldn't do but want to do. I like that feeling.
- age 14, North Carolina
I'd say masturbating someone else is the best. It's very erotic. I like to do it, and I feel that I'm doing something good for my partner. Of course, I really love it when he returns the favor!
- age 21, Finland
When I am masturbating a girl, I don't mind whether I have an orgasm — all I care about is that she has one. I don't know why, but I love it when I can make a girl have an orgasm.
- age 13, Australia
I like to masturbate women. Women my age don't expect that to happen, so they enjoy it greatly! And they usually return the favor to make it that much more fun!
- age 47, Ohio
I like masturbating someone else and having someone else masturbate me. You get to feel how someone else masturbates you, and the other person feels how it is to be masturbated. The best part about it is the anticipation, especially if you're about to ejaculate but the other person doesn't know it.

"Bringing her to orgasm by masturbation makes it easier
for her to have another orgasm during intercourse."
I've always liked to masturbate my (female) partners to orgasm as a prelude to sex because, while masturbation for me is great, sex with a woman is better. Most women in my experience do not easily reach orgasm through intercourse alone, and bringing her to orgasm by masturbation (or oral sex) first puts her on an orgasmic plateau that makes it easier for her to have another orgasm during the intercourse itself. The more she enjoys sex, and the more she gets out of it, the less likely she is to "have a headache," and the more sex I get!

I find that masturbating myself, while I masturbate my girlfriend, is the best experience. It gives me more pleasure while I'm pleasuring someone else.
- age 16, South Carolina
While I *love* to masturbate myself (I do it at least two times a day), there is something very erotic about letting someone else masturbate you — likewise for masturbating the other person. The idea of surrendering your body to someone else so they can bring you to orgasm can be quite freeing and exhilarating. And having complete control over another person's masturbation experience can be a huge rush. Imagine the expression on their face as you hold their pleasure in your hand and control not only when they climax, but also its intensity.
- age 40, Tennessee
I'm surprised that I would be more aroused by masturbating my boyfriend than if he were masturbating me. Many people I know think this is ridiculous. But when you think about it, masturbating someone else (particularly someone who attracts you) is much more gratifying. You get to know where they like to be touched — and you get to touch them, feel them, and do anything else you might be in the mood for (nudge, nudge; wink, wink). My boyfriend and I agree that abstinence is important, but I still masturbate him now and then. We once tried reversing roles, but we found that the original way was much more satisfying for us both. Maybe I'm just weird, but I feel that bringing someone you love that much pleasure really helps to deepen and fortify the relationship.
- age 17, California (female)
I prefer that someone else masturbate me, because then I feel very strong and that I'm truly a man when someone else touches me. It could also be a man masturbating me; I wouldn't care because I'd feel that I am more a man than he is.
- age 19, Brazil
I would choose masturbating someone else. I like to give people pleasure more than to do it just for my own personal gain.
- age 16, Michigan
It is best to masturbate yourself. I know best what I like and what feels best, so I can pleasure myself best.
- age 23, Canada
Getting masturbated by someone else is definitely best! My girlfriend and I don't have sex because we don't want to risk pregnancy. But we are always petting and making out, and when we can be alone, we sneak off, undress, and masturbate each other. All she has to do is just touch me down there and I get an erection. And I ejaculate more quickly than if I do it myself.
- age 14, Florida
When we were 14 or 15, I did all 3 with a male friend. I can honestly say that I liked him to masturbate me the most. When someone else is touching you, it's unpredictable and exciting. I have never ejaculated as hard as I did when he was masturbating me.
- age 21, Canada
While I love doing things to myself, I think getting another person off is the best. I love to try techniques that work for me on other people. Also, the "after-effects" of a job well done gets me off for my next few sessions.
- age 18, Missouri
I think masturbating someone else is better, because knowing that I am giving them pleasure gets me extremely aroused.
- age 14, New Jersey
Someone else masturbating you. I have had that happen to me several times, and another's hand always feels much better than your own.
- age 34, Tennessee
I've never masturbated anyone or had anyone masturbate me, but I have a good guess as to which would feel the best. If someone else were to masturbate me, it would feel great because I wouldn't have to worry about my arm getting tired. I could just concentrate on the great feeling!
- age 15, Georgia
I'd choose being masturbated by someone else due to the lack of control and having no idea what the person is going to do next. Plus, because it is someone else's hand, every touch is a pleasant surprise.
- age 26, Florida
It is more fun to be masturbated by someone else. When my friend masturbated me, it was so much fun. It is the closest thing a 13-year-old can get to sexual contact with another person other than risking getting a girl pregnant.
- age 13, Michigan
Being masturbated by someone else, lovingly and unhurriedly, is absolutely the greatest feeling of all. It's also the rarest, but my wife and I do this in our foreplay, and it's incredibly exciting. For some reason, though, it has always been difficult for me to actually let go and have an orgasm when someone else is doing the work for me. Orgasms for me happen when I take control and do what I need to do, and for that, there's nothing like masturbating myself. (Intercourse, for all its glories, is only a close second.)
- age 54, Washington
I definitely prefer masturbating someone else. I love seeing the intense joy on another guy's face as he ejaculates. It's my biggest turn-on. It's so amazing!
- age 17, Pennsylvania
Without a doubt, letting someone masturbate you is best. It's the closest thing to sex without intercourse, because you can't control when you climax.
- age 31, New Hampshire
Personally, I like masturbating myself because I can't go to orgasm with someone else doing me. Even though I like having another guy do me, I prefer to do it myself when I'm going for orgasm.
- age 15, Michigan
I've masturbated and been masturbated by a girlfriend, but never a male, so I suppose my answer is a bit biased. Of the 3 choices, I'd say being masturbated is better, but only occasionally. Nobody knows my body the way I do. To have somebody else masturbate me is a thrill, even though it gets monotonous. So, for a daily routine, masturbating myself is the best. Masturbating the opposite sex is a whole lot of fun, but I can't say I like it more than having an orgasm myself.
- age 18, Canada
It's better for someone else to masturbate you. It would be more exciting to think that someone else wants to masturbate you and is comfortable doing it. Also, the idea of another person's hands or body parts touching you that way excites me. I've never experienced someone else masturbating me, but I would like it to happen someday.
- age 13, Alabama
I only have hands for me. However, I've masturbated other people and other people have masturbated me. Getting masturbated feels sweet because you can sit back and relax. Masturbating someone else is a sexy power trip. So I say that masturbating myself is the best because, although I know I'm in the minority, I take my Christian faith seriously. The powerful ejaculations from others and watching my friends squirm in pleasure are not worth knowing that I screwed up. Doing myself is better because it lets me look at myself in the mirror, and that's better than any orgasm.
- age 26, Ohio
Masturbating someone else. Giving my girl pleasure makes me feel a lot better than getting it. Just having her in my arms quivering — that's the best feeling ever!
- age 17, Michigan
Masturbating someone else is better because it's more of a challenge.
- age 22, New Hampshire
Masturbating myself is the best, because I know exactly how it feels and how to do it. I've been masturbated and have masturbated a girl before. The first one was not very enjoyable, because my partner's hand kept cramping up and her grip on my penis wasn't as strong and pleasurable as my own. Masturbating her turned me on immensely, but masturbating myself when I am turned on is the best because I feel the orgasm and can control it.
- age 15, New York
When I first masturbated a guy, I was hooked. I like to see him all hot and bothered as my hand runs up and down his shaft, and his glans gets all red and purple. When I was doing it in my high school days, I had to watch out when he would ejaculate because of the amount of semen and the force of it. Once I made a guy ejaculate all over a car dashboard.
- age 41, Connecticut (female)
Masturbating myself is the best, for sensation. It's simple: You know what feels best. However, I *love* to masturbate my boyfriend or have him do me. It is intense, but it often requires one of us to give directions. I have certain ways of masturbating myself, and he has his own. Masturbating myself is perfectly satisfying and highly addicting. So, solo masturbation wins. However, *any* sexual contact is awesome!
- age 16, California
Personally, I'd opt for someone else masturbating me. It's the best when I'm just enjoying and experiencing the whole session without having the distraction of doing all the work myself. There is also the added pleasure of the other person arousing you by talking to you in a sexy way and the feeling of not having control over what the other person does. My orgasms always seem to be more powerful when someone else masturbates me. And yes, guys are usually better at masturbating other guys than girls.
- age 25, The Netherlands
If you're young, it would be embarrassing to have someone masturbate you due to a size difference. It could be equally embarrassing for someone older (and larger) to do it to a guy around my age. For my age, it's fine just masturbating alone.
- age 12, Canada
I've experienced all 3 — the last two with both males and females. Masturbating another person can be wonderfully exciting (from seeing the pleasure I bring them), and being touched and masturbated by someone else can be wildly erotic. I love both. However, masturbating myself wins out slightly over the other two mostly because I'm able to best control the stimulation — pressure, stroking speed, placement of touch, etc., so I can savor the experience much longer by not rushing things — which, when masturbating with another person, there is a tendency to do.
- age 22, Pennsylvania
I like to masturbate others because it is arousing. I usually masturbate myself afterwards.
- age 14, New York
"Nothing can top the sensation of holding
the key to someone else's ecstasy."
As much as I adore the pleasure of masturbating by myself, nothing can top the sensation of holding the key to someone else's ecstasy. I love to hear people moan at my command and beg for more when I stop. I might claim that it's romantic, but the real reason is that I love the power trip!
- age 20, Tennessee (female)
The best has got to be masturbating someone else — for many reasons. The other two alternatives involve some self-gratification, either from yourself or from another person. But masturbating someone else takes more thought and effort. It's a greater challenge, and I think that's what makes it better. It's easy to gratify yourself, but it's more considerate to give than it is to receive. Besides, when you give it to someone else, you can learn their rhythm and movement for reaching a climax, which can be a learning experience to improve your own personal life.
- age 17, New Jersey
When I have an orgasm, I like to be in the grip of another's fist. I get so wrapped up in the idea that someone is giving me this intense pleasure that the volume and trajectory of my ejaculate is double what it is during a self-induced orgasm. Call me greedy, but I want more semen and more intense orgasms. It's such an amazing gift to give someone that I'm always grateful to be able to receive it. Masturbating others is a close second for the same reason, and because one can feel the contractions of the penis and the semen traveling up the shaft much more acutely than when it is your own penis that is ejaculating. It's such a powerful and meaty feeling — I can appreciate the biology of it all.
- age 31, Virginia
I enjoy masturbating other people. I'm not sure why; I just get pleasure from giving other people pleasure. When I see how they react, it gets me *very* aroused, and once they've finished, I've got it all stored in my memory for when I'm alone and need to masturbate.
