We live in a relatively secluded area in the mountains; so actually, I rarely masturbate indoors. Of course, during certain seasons, it's necessary to pleasure myself in my bedroom or bathroom, but if the weather is nice, I "hike" into the woods – walking until I'm out of sight of my house, and then removing my clothes and walking a little further. I have a favorite masturbation spot that overlooks a gorgeous valley and I relax for a while right there as I stroke to orgasm. It's a beautiful thing that keeps me in touch with the human nature of things. One doesn't necessarily need porn to masturbate.

This Week's Wackiest Response:
The dungeon, because they won't let me out.

You can't beat the outdoors – the wilder the better. When the weather and location allow it, you can go naked and feel warm sun, cool breeze or running water on your skin – maybe all three, one after the other. Looking at big Western scenery – mountains or canyons – can make masturbating less a sexual act and more an intense response to nature itself. But even a pasture or a little patch of woods will do, and they are what I most commonly get to outside my bedroom.

In the lounge room (living room, sitting room, or whatever people call it around the world) – because that's where our television is and I often masturbate to movies or TV shows with hot girls or nudity in them. I also like the feeling of the leather lounge on my skin and the excitement of doing it outside of the privacy of my bedroom or the bathroom. I often take my clothes off in my room, sit on the lounge naked, and masturbate – which means if somebody comes home, I have to run through the house naked to my room. For some reason, I find this exciting as well as just funny.

I masturbate in the sauna or steam room at my fitness club because I like the heat, especially during the winter. These facilities are inside the men's locker room, so it's normal to be naked in there and there's usually enough privacy. Oddly enough, I try not to ejaculate in front of the computer – my partner has let me know he'd rather I didn't.

I like to go to a field behind my house and masturbate. The grass is soft and tall. It's so relaxing to just lie out there and do it with no one around and no worries about being caught. I usually stay out there for an hour just thinking. I've even fallen asleep naked out there!

In my car – I have masturbated many times while parked watching the water in the lake and the people moving about on the beach always thinking about the gals running about in their two-piece suits and wondering if they are as hot as they look.

My other usual place is out in the country. I will cycle into the countryside, find a quiet spot and masturbate so that I ejaculate onto a tree trunk. I sometimes take off all my clothes first (when the weather is warm enough) because this feels really good and there is the slight chance that someone could see me.

I guess the next most common place would be at the beach or in the bushes overlooking the beach. It's a great feeling of freedom to be at one with nature. It rocks to know that you're just doing what comes naturally.
- age 22, New Zealand
There is a big tree in a corner of our garden with an old, small tree house. I try to masturbate here whenever I can. It's the only place where I know that no one will find me.

Out on my apartment's balcony at dawn or late at night. It is outside, close to nature, and a very pleasant atmosphere. Though it is semi-private, with tall plants all around, there is a small chance someone could see. The birds certainly do, and I am sure they pass it on to the bees.

I masturbate in my brother's bedroom because he lets me watch his porn videos and borrow his lube.

At work – it helps get me through the day.

Other than my bedroom, I masturbate in the computer room in front of the computer.

There's a bathroom at my school's library that is ideal. When I need a study break, I just go to the stall and get busy. If anyone comes in, which hardly ever happens, they would just think I'm in there having a bowel movement.

I masturbate most often in my garage because that is where I watch my pornographic movies. It is away from the rest of the house, so no one can hear me, and I can go there late at night and do my business. Everyone else thinks I'm sleeping; it's wonderful.
- age 16, California
I like to masturbate in my truck. When I get off from work, I like to pull off the road, pull down my pants, and start masturbating. I once had a cop stop to see if everything was okay. I was very embarrassed, but he told me not to worry about it – just to find a more private area to "play" with myself.

In the barn next to the horses – nobody is ever in there. It's very erotic to me to be by the horses.
- age 14, Ohio
I love to masturbate in my car. I like to find dark, secluded places and have a good pull. I also like to masturbate when I'm driving at night.
- age 29, Massachusetts
I usually masturbate in my hot tub with its jets. It feels extremely nice and provides an intense orgasm.
- age 15, California
Hmm – other than the bedroom or bathroom, I'd have to say that the most common place is actually at the mall. I love to go there, sit in the restroom, and rub one out. I don't know why, but I do it all the time.
- age 18, Michigan
The most common place I masturbate is in the office in my house. This is where I have the computer and all of my erotic material to help me out. I usually masturbate in the bathroom only when I take a shower or bath, but usually, that's late at night after my wife is already asleep. So, most masturbation sessions are in my office.

I sometimes masturbate in the locker room at school. There is a hole that allows us guys to look into the girls' locker room, right near their showers. There is no bigger turn-on than to see naked girls, especially when they don't know someone is watching. Occasionally, a few of my friends and I will meet in the locker room and masturbate each other, usually right before or after football practices. Once we had the entire team masturbate together right before the biggest game of the season, and it was one of the best orgasms I have ever had.

My Masturbatorium – I have all my appliances, accessories, materials, and tributes (to the celebrities I love the most) in there. It is the sole purpose for that room. Everyone should have a Masturbatorium.

When my parents are out, I masturbate all over the house. But sometimes, even when they are home, I masturbate in the kitchen. There is an island right in front of the kitchen table. I sit behind it and masturbate for hours. Sometimes, the risk of getting caught, along with knowing all the things in the kitchen that are used by the whole family, makes for a great orgasm. When they are away, I sometimes lie on the kitchen table and masturbate for hours.

I like to masturbate lying back in my recliner in the family room. I'm single now, so I can get away with that. In my teens, I would do it in the barn or camping down by the river with a buddy. Recently I was talking to a married friend and he about died when I told him I like to masturbate outdoors at my age. He said he had never masturbated outside. The poor guy never had a buddy in his teens to help him through those interesting learning years! He had to learn all on his own.

I have never masturbated outside my bedroom or bathroom. There's just too much risk of being caught.
- age 13, Maine
I'm a college student living with two of my siblings in an apartment; so finding privacy to masturbate is extremely difficult. When I come home from a friend's dorm or apartment, I'll often go for a drive. Then I'll pull off somewhere where it's pretty dark and shaded, and then just do it in my car. My car has actually become a place of sanctity for me.

Until recently, my bedroom was my favorite place, followed by the shower. Lately, however, I sheepishly admit to masturbating while seated comfortably (and naked) at my computer, chatting with fellow masturbators at a site dedicated to cyber-masturbation. Some of the guys in their 40s and 50s tell me I'm an inspiration for them because of my age. I always reply that I didn't know that males my age masturbated – at least, not until I turned 62 myself.

Other than the bedroom and bath, the only other place I've masturbated is on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. My friends and I do that every time we go to the happiest place on earth and then we make it that much happier.
- age 17, California
Recently, my favorite place to masturbate is in one of several abandoned store spaces while I'm working (at a mall). It saves time and there isn't anything better than getting paid to masturbate.
- age 24, Minnesota
The most common place I masturbate would be on a tractor while cutting hay. My tractor is my most common place to masturbate because that is where I spend almost all of my summer days.

When I'm home alone, I love to take off all my clothes and lie down either on the living room carpet or on my couch. The fabric feels *so* good against my naked skin. In the winter, I like to have a fire roaring in fireplace. It's so romantic!

Not that it's that common for me (at most, 20 times a year), but trains really get me going. It started when I was about 16. I was on a train when I noticed that the conductor was really hot. So to relieve myself, I went into the toilet and had one of the most amazing orgasms ever. For me, there's just something about the sound and gentle rocking motions on a train. Now it's something that I look forward to on a boring train journey.

In my car while I drive home from work. It's the only place I can get enough privacy.
- age 45, Illinois
At the computer, mainly because I chat with my friends while doing it, and they have no idea!
- age 15, Montana
On my roof – warm breeze, big open sky, complete privacy. Great!
- age 21, United Kingdom
My bedroom is and always has been my favorite place to masturbate. But an alternative when I was much younger and either living at home during junior and senior high school, or back for holidays while in college (and occasionally, even now when I visit, now that I have moved away) was and still is the swimming pool with those marvelous pool jets! Need I say more to anyone who has spent some time letting those wonderful jets work over her entire vulva while she rested her head on her arms over the side of the pool? Ahhhhh! I only wish the pool at my condo afforded me that same privacy to indulge myself form time to time.

I masturbate often when I am out at our lake house or at the beach house. Sometimes I just tell everyone I need some "me-time" and leave from work. I drive either 30 minutes or three hours, depending upon which location I choose. That way, I can just relax and enjoy my own company and the quiet of being away from kids and work. I love them both, but sometimes, you just need a break. Oh – I also fish while I'm there; I don't just masturbate.
- age 43, South Carolina
My favorite place is in our small greenhouse. It is sufficiently removed that my privacy is usually assured, and there is something especially peaceful and calming about being amongst growing plants. A nearby faucet makes it easy to keep my lube from drying up and to clean off my finger after anal stimulation. My semen, now quite a bit less viscous than it used to be, sprays around without making a mess and no doubt supplies some needed nitrogen to the plants.
- age 69, Canada
I have a long commute to work and masturbate in my car fairly regularly. While still at work, I slip on a condom in the bathroom to keep from messing up my car seat. It's exhilarating to masturbate in my car because people are looking right at me as I do it. It's especially exciting to see someone suddenly realize what I'm doing.
- age 24, California
I like to masturbate in the sea.
- age 15, Belgium
In my office – but not because I have access to porn on my computer, as I suspect most people would think. While this is true, I also tend to play with myself as I work. I can't really explain why; it's not a conscious decision. But I spend a lot of time reading and editing documents online, and I find that when I'm doing more reading than editing, invariably my left hand is drawn to my lap and I massage my penis through my slacks. I'll do this for hours at a time, and then when I'm good and worked up, I'll quit myself to the men's room and have at it to finish off. It helps me concentrate, I guess.
