I have my absolute best orgasms when a couple of things come together. First, I need to have gone a couple of days without ejaculating. Second, I need time and privacy to moan and move as the feeling moves me. It helps if I've been talking to a friend about sex, or my girlfriend about anything in the world, so I'm good and horny. Using Vaseline (lubricating but thick enough) I have to go slowly and feel every sexual impulse fire straight to my sex-crazed mind. Then I "stop and go" at least 3 times, until I feel like I could ejaculate out my eyeballs, and I let the feeling take me to white-hot heaven.

I've always enjoyed the outdoors. I love being nude with the breeze blowing over my whole body. Many spring nights I sit out on the deck (which is very secluded with trees and bushes) and masturbate while looking at the million of stars up in the wide sky above me. With the wind blowing on my nakedness, it brings on the BEST orgasms ever. And the risk of being discovered enhances it.

After I have waited about a week or so. I find waiting this long can be difficult, especially when I'm stressed; since I'm high-strung to begin with, this is pretty much all the time. It often amounts to feeling the "irresistible urge" and fighting it. Regardless of what others may say, there is such a thing as self-control – and if used, it can increase your pleasure immensely. Try it! (I did go for 2 whole weeks while on a trip once. I ended up having a spontaneous erection and ejaculation the night before I came home, which could have been really embarrassing, so keep that sort of thing in mind.)

I am uncircumcised, so my penis head is very sensitive. My best orgasms come when I'm in the shower, and I just use the stream of water pounding on the bottom of the head to achieve orgasm. Unfortunately, this causes such extreme pleasure that it almost hurts, and I have to get out of the stream every couple of seconds. Finally, it also helps when there is somebody who knows I'm masturbating at the time. Whether I'm masturbating with a friend or just in the bathroom when a friend is around, it adds a lot of excitement to the experience.

The best time for masturbating, in my opinion: morning, when I've been up just a short while. The best place for masturbating: almost anywhere out-of-doors – the beach, the woods, even on a country road. The best mood: horny, of course. It's best if I have avoided masturbating for several days (the few times I managed to abstain for a week were great!), and it's a turn-on to have an audience.

My best orgasms come probably after I just hooked up or had sex with a girl. During these times I'm usually especially horny, so a couple of days or so later after the hookup, I usually have a really great masturbation session just thinking about what occurred with her.

They usually happen in the mornings, when I've been lazing about in bed for a couple of hours, half-asleep, fantasizing – when I'm the most relaxed. I don't touch at all the whole time that I'm daydreaming. At some point the urge just becomes too strong, and I roll over and break out the toy. Then 15 or 20 minutes later, I'm half-asleep again with a blissful little smile.

I have my best orgasms in the middle of the day. I'm a college student and live in a fraternity house, so there isn't a lot of privacy. I usually end up having to wait until I go to bed and everyone else is asleep. But if I get the chance I curl up with a nice magazine and go at it. It's best in warm weather when my sack isn't already really tight. I like to feel my testicles bounce around. I have to be in a good mood, too – like right after a test I just aced, or something like that. A good session can also be with someone else. Then I'm usually so excited I don't care what time it is. I'm not gay, but I have masturbated with other guys before. It's kind of cool because you can learn new techniques and build a bond with friends.

The early evening in my bedroom, after a day at work, is the best. I'm not too sleepy – I'm AWAKE, unlike when it's time to go to bed. It seems all my senses are going at full throttle, and my orgasm is like a volcanic eruption that's been simmering all day.

(1) Enough privacy; (2) a sudden and unexpected sense of ultra-horniness, either for no good reason or from watching porn; (3) a raging erection; (4) the right type of lube, even though I'm not circumcised; (5) a dimly lit room; (6) being able to last long, which happens rarely if I use lube – so if I can last long with lube, it's a double bonus; (7) rubbing hard and fast when orgasm happens; (8) ejaculating a lot of semen, because that can really intensify the orgasm; and (9) not feeling tired – my orgasms are lousy when I'm tired.

I tend to have the best orgasms when I have a long time to do the deed. Normally, I rush in quick 5-to-10 minute sessions – but when I get the chance, I take it. Being able to masturbate for a full hour is wonderful and makes my orgasm so powerful at the end. I also tend to have much more semen, which makes the ejaculation feel even better. Some other masturbation enhancers include materials such as movies or Web sites, lubrication (which I rarely get to use), and warmth. I also enjoy masturbating in a variety of places throughout my house, but I end each session lying face down on my bed.

My best-ever orgasms occur while a friend and I masturbate in front of each other. Just watching another guy ejaculate in front of me makes everything much more pleasurable. That is awesome, but getting masturbated by another guy is even better. Sorry, girls, but guys just know how to handle the equipment better.
- age 18, Idaho
My best orgasms have come in 1 of 2 situations: The first is when I have had the time to relax and take my time with a prolonged masturbation session after a period of a few days of not masturbating. The second is if I am having a particularly good mutual masturbation session with a friend. Seeing another guy ejaculate seems to dramatically increase the amount and distance of semen that I ejaculate.
- age 28, Colorado
I have the best orgasms when I have all the time in the world to masturbate. This is usually when my roommate is gone. I turn on the porn and masturbate for 1 to 2 hours, stopping each time I am about to ejaculate. When the time comes when I can't hold off anymore, the result is awesome. I sometimes shoot my semen above my head.
- age 18, Iowa
I need some degree of stimulation (see "age"), and I always watch a video, usually upon waking in the morning. In the living room of my home, alone, I am naked and the room is darkened. I sit in a comfortable chair, on a towel. Stroking slowly, I increase the speed and pressure as the scenes on the screen unfold.
- age 79, Florida
My best orgasms happen on my bed with the lights dimmed. I take it slow and think about having a threesome with the two most attractive people at my school. I imagine erotic scenarios with them and both of them satisfying me. As I reach ejaculation I think about what their faces would look like as they had their orgasms – that's what gives me an awesome orgasm.

The best masturbation sessions occur when I travel alone. I always have a bottle of baby oil in my travel bag. First, I spend some time lying on a towel on the hotel bed, fully clothed with only the bathroom light on and door cracked for a little light. Blues or jazz music is always nice. I let my hands fully explore my own body, slowly and lightly touching myself everywhere until my nipples get hard. Then I remove my shirt and squirt a shot of baby oil on my chest, letting my fingers lightly work the oil into my skin. When I finally remove my pants, I squeeze a generous shot of oil all over my genitals and gently caress the underside of my penis with only one finger, and with the other hand I cup my testicles and run them through my fingers one at a time. This continues while I focus on achieving climax. Sometimes these sessions last for several hours, and the orgasms are absolutely mind-blowing. The best is not allowing more than one finger to touch my penis.

It has got to be at night when I'm home alone – when all of my homework and chores are done and I have absolutely nothing else to do. I often strip totally naked and get under the mattress and rub my penis to climax. Sometimes I shower in the dark with only a flashlight or a candle lit. I turn up the water hot and I'm so turned on. All I want is to ejaculate again and again.

On a sunny and warm day on the beach a couple days before my period!

My best conditions are in the morning, just after I wake up. For me, it's a sort of magical time between being awake and kind of asleep. Sleeping naked, all warm and toasty under the blankets, then sliding my hand down to my penis. I begin to slowly and gently pleasure myself. All the while my free hand roams and softly caresses my torso. My sessions usually last 20 to 30 minutes. I especially love "riding the edge" the whole time, too. It's truly a great way to start the day!

In the gym locker room, after an intense workout, when my muscles are sore and my body sweaty.
- age 25, Massachusetts
I have my best orgasms when I try something new – like when I tried the The "Vagina" technique for the first time I had a really good one. Also watching scrambled porn helps me have a good orgasm. (Give me a break – at my age scrambled porn is all I can get!)
- age 13, Florida
I live in a rural area, so there are lots of secluded places to go. I've found that going to the local creek on a cool summer day and stripping down completely and just walking around naked is fantastic. The cool breeze and the openness gives me an erection. I often just stand in the open and stroke myself slowly and relax while thinking of having sex with woman. This leads up to a very powerful orgasm that seems to last forever.
- age 47, Ohio
Everything seems to work best when I'm home alone, primarily; that helps me relax more. I prefer to be in my room or sometimes at my computer. It usually happens late at night, when I have the most free time. I like to be completely naked, too. Then I just take my time – sometimes over an hour.
- age 17, Massachusetts
By myself, quiet, not disturbed, in my lounge chair, and being able to observe all my action with maybe a porno video on. Watching my penis harden and become more sensitive is very satisfying. I usually use massage lotion and a soft jelly ring that tightens only slightly around the base of the shaft. That way, I can maintain an erection for hours, removing it just before I ejaculate. What a trip! But the best rules are: (1) Do not eat beforehand – rather, be "hungry"; (2) relax and do not rush – take your time; and (3) think of yourself, your pubic area, and how wonderful masturbating feels and is.

I like going into the bathroom after someone has taken a shower, where the steam, dampness, and heat are still present. Preferably this is at night so I can look back on things from the day that "stimulated" me. I have to be unusually horny, like after reading of a celebrity doing something sexy, or seeing some female I adore nude. Then there's the weird thought of being a female, which turns me on almost instantly. I then take all of these thoughts and bring in the atmospheric surroundings, and I just have the best orgasm.
- age 17, Florida
My best orgasms from masturbation occur when I am being watched by my boyfriend. I like to take my time, touching my whole body while he watches me from a chair. I know this turns him on greatly, and it does wonders for me. I get so aroused just knowing he is watching me. When I finally orgasm in front of him, it is explosive for both of us. He holds me while I come down from my natural high – and then I know the night is just beginning!
- age 22, Ohio (female)
I consistently have my best orgasms from masturbating after several things: wearing erotic underwear, like sheer, see-through thongs that barely cover your genitals; looking at pictures on the Internet or watching a porno; and, of course, having a long masturbation session with lots of foreplay (rubbing nipples or probing my anus) and filled with intense sexual fantasies involving cute guys.
- age 18, California
I am bisexual, and I seem to get the best orgasms when I grip with my right hand and suck on my left thumb. It gives me the stimulation that I am performing fellatio, or sucking myself. Even if you aren't bi or gay, try sucking your thumb – it may feel better!
- age 16, Michigan
I have the best orgasm when I am masturbating in my car, in the pouring rain, in a public parking lot. There's nothing like the sound of parking-lot traffic to get me horny.
- age 21, Texas
Time: At night, definitely. Place: In bed. Mood: Generally I get the best orgasms after a day when I've been really horny – days I spend with a lot of girls. Also, if I masturbate really slowly, combining various techniques on this site, I generally get better orgasms than if I stick to one method.
- age 17, New York
My conditions would have to be 4 days of not masturbating, then wearing my favorite baggy pants and hooded sweatshirt and going out in the middle of a tropical storm and wrestling with my friend in the mud for an hour until we're covered with wet, soppy mud and both have erections. Then we lie on our backs and just listen to the rain and the steady rhythm of each other's hands. We would masturbate totally relaxing all muscles – no pushing or forcing the orgasm. When we climax, we scream as loudly as we can and listen to our echoes.
- age 24, California
I usually find myself the most aroused in the morning when I'm home alone and can do anything I want. I've gone all night without any kind of sexual relief, and that's my chance to let loose and have fun. If I want to just start doing it downstairs in the kitchen, the basement, or my room, I can. Most people have their best orgasms while others are around, but for me peace and quiet allows me to really let my imagination run wild.
- age 19, Connecticut
My orgasms are always the best after school at about 4 PM. At school I always see girls with very short, tight skirts, so the images are always fresh in my mind when I get home. If these girls seem to show interest in me, the experience is even better. I also seem to have better orgasms if I am not tired or hungry.
- age 17, United Kingdom
My best orgasms come when I take the time to set a scene. My bedroom, with red lights, Enigma on the stereo, incense, and of course my vibrator. I once pulled so hard on my bedframe I snapped the bar off!
- age 23, New York (female)
My best conditions are when my parents aren't home, so it's quiet and I have access to all of my magazines and videos without fear of them catching me. It's usually after school, in my warm house, and on my bed thinking of my girlfriend – now THAT makes the best session for me.
- age 14, New Jersey
I am in bed, at night, usually after a day not at work so I am not too tired. I use my preferred method of humping the bed, and I am alone so I can let go with moans, groans, and a creaking bed. I probably have had some stimulating experience during the day or am reading a particularly stimulating story I have printed out from the Web. Indeed, sometimes I might even be reading the experiences of other JackinWorld contributors – especially the young chaps who remind me of my long-lost youth. Oh, happy days.
- age 48, United Kingdom
I usually have my best orgasms when my room is nice and dark, the ceiling fan is on high, and I can picture my boyfriend (who is 13 also) moaning and ejaculating all over me while I'm fingering myself.
- age 13, California (female)
In bed with my wife! Sometimes when she isn't up to having sex, I masturbate. It's great!
- age 25, Iowa
I've heard guys say that not masturbating for a while gives them a great orgasm, but for me this isn't true. I just ejaculate faster. I have the best orgasms by masturbating for a long time. When I sit downstairs for a couple hours watching something sexy, and I stroke my penis through my pants, I enjoy the feeling. When I feel I'm ready to finish up, I usually take off my clothes and finish up really hard. The combination of the stroking through my pants for a while and then pounding harder at the end usually gives me my best ejaculation.
- age 17, Washington
I orgasm best under the panicked condition. I can orgasm in 30 seconds when I know my parents or sister is coming up the stairs or opening the garage door on their way home.
- age 13, Michigan
I usually have the best orgasm when I am in an altered state and slightly drunk listening to a CD called Sacred Spirit. This self-loving experience usually takes about an hour of masturbating.
- age 49, Hawaii
My best times are with my wonderful boyfriend, in the morning, usually when I have nowhere to be in a good couple of hours, when I can lounge in bed as long as I want. I prefer covers – I don't know why, but I just do. I love when my boyfriend helps out and massages my stomach and inner thighs.
- age 17, Florida (female)
Generally in the late afternoon, after I have had a chance to relax and let the day's stress fade away. Since I'm married, it works best for me when my wife is away doing the shopping. I like to sit in front of the computer, pull up this site, and read some of the responses. By doing so I almost always get really hard. I unzip my pants and start to gently stroke myself, sometimes using a lube like Men's Cream or Albolene. I take my time and enjoy the experience, and generally in 4 or 5 minutes, I'm spurting in blissful release. No, age is no reason to stop enjoying one of life's greatest pleasures. I may not do it 3 or 4 times a day like I did in my youth, but I still have 2 or 3 wonderful episodes a week. But the key is always to be relaxed and have some undisturbable privacy.
