I like to stroke my penis very slowly when I am masturbating. Then right before I ejaculate, I get a tight hold on my penis and speed up slightly. The slower you go when you start off, the better your orgasm will be in the end. Masturbating slowly also teaches you how to hold your semen for a longer period of time; this makes your orgasm much better in the end, and if you are having sex, it allows your partner to experience the same amount of prolonged pleasure – so you both will be happy when you are done. I do thrust at the same speed when I am having intercourse, for the same reason as when I masturbate.

I try to move kind of at a medium speed, until I am ready to ejaculate, and then I speed up. I would like to move at this speed during intercourse, but I don't know if that could be accomplished.

When I start I go pretty fast, and as I get closer and closer to orgasm, I guess I get faster trying to excite myself even more. I don't know if I would go as fast in intercourse; I probably would want to show the girl I can go for a long time, so I would thrust myself into her slower.

I move my hand really fast. Then, when I feel myself getting close, I either go faster or keep the same speed. I would probably go slower during intercourse because I think it would give me a better sensation.

I usually go slowly at first, just barely doing the "fist" method; then I really get at it. But as I get closer to the "point," I slow down and wait a few seconds, and I do this 2-3 times. As I end the last cycle, I start to go faster toward the "point of no return." This is really fun.

It depends. If I'm not in a hurry and I really want to pleasure myself, I do it slower and try to hold it back as long as possible, for an "extreme" orgasm. Other days, I'm just doing it because I want it quick – then I move fast.
- age 16, Virginia
I move my hand really fast along the shaft. I kind of slow down a little as I get close to orgasm. I guess I'd slow down during intercourse, as I've read a bit about intercourse, and the slower you go, the longer it lasts – besides, many women want sex to last awhile.

It depends on whether I'm in a hurry or not. If I have plenty of time, I like to go very slowly and just enjoy the sensations. If I think somebody might walk in on me at any moment, I go as fast as I can just to get a nut. I enjoy both ways tremendously. In intercourse, I thrust at the same speed, unless my partner wants something else. I aim to please.

I don't move my hand really fast – just smooth-running going up and down my penis. It wouldn't be fun doing it really fast, because you wouldn't get to feel it as long. In intercourse, I'd go way slower because I'd want it to last three times as long.
- age 14, California
I usually move my hand fast – not very fast, just sort of in between medium speed and fast. When I get close to orgasm, often I stop completely, so I can have a longer session. Of course, often the pleasure overtakes me, and at that point I couldn't stop moving my hand if I tried. In intercourse, I don't know. Even being a fairly experienced masturbator (6 years), I still can't fully comprehend what intercourse would be like. So I don't know how fast I would go. I guess I would totally take my feelings out of the picture and care more about how I think the girl feels. (Well, girls, tough luck. I'm probably much more romantic, caring, and sensitive than any of those jocks, and I'm probably better in bed – but you girls go for the physical attraction, so you're missing out!)

I go at a medium speed. I like the feeling of going fast – and in my opinion, the faster, the better. But too fast can be painful, and your arm gets tired quickly.

When I am masturbating, I want to make it last. When I get close to orgasm I slow down and squeeze my penis so as to hold off the impending ejaculation. If it feels too good I will stroke it with a quickness and try to shoot my semen as far as I can. During sex, I use different speeds, according to my excitement and her pleasure; different angles can produce some great feelings. When you're masturbating, trying to make yourself get almost to the point of orgasm and holding it off can make you a better lover, because you can last much longer. And this is very important to the ladies.

I like to masturbate slowly at first until I am really excited. Then I start to go a little faster, and then just when I am about to ejaculate I go really fast. It feels great! In intercourse I would probably do the same.
- age 14, New Jersey
As I am masturbating, I move my hand pretty quick, and when I am close to orgasm, I slow down and squeeze my penis really hard. I doubt I could have sex with a girl as fast as I masturbate, because hey – you can go only so fast, and then it might hurt.

I very my hand speed with each masturbation episode (2-3 times a day). And I usually change it during each session, too. Slower is definitely better: it leads to a more crushing orgasm. I like to stroke slowly and wait until I'm just about to ejaculate, stop, wait for a while, and just stroke my testicles or fondle the base of my penis and then jack some more, and keep repeating this cycle. When I finally do orgasm it's so intense sometimes I get dizzy. It's also important to keep your stomach, butt, and back muscles relaxed. It leads to a slower and more intense orgasm.

I stroke as slowly as I can, so it will last longer. Sometimes I don't even move my fist up and down – I just squeeze and massage my penis. This feels especially good when I use hand lotion. When I get ready to ejaculate, I try to stop so I can do it again, but sometimes I can't stop. It just feels so good. I've had sex with a girl only three times. The first time I ejaculated so fast I didn't have time to control it. The other two times went better, although the girls I've been with get so excited that it makes it hard for me to control how fast I go. My goal is to masturbate for exactly one hour before I ejaculate. I haven't made it yet, but it's fun trying!

I usually start out fairly fast, to get some momentum, and then I slow down to prolong the feeling. I often switch between my left and right hand (I'm left-handed). Then I jiggle my hand really fast just under the head, with my index finger right on the ridge below the head. I do this until I'm just about ready to ejaculate. Then, if I can, I stop and start building up again. I do this as many times as I can – but I've never been able to hold it off more than about 4 times. It feels so awesome when you do it this way.

Whenever I masturbate I start off slowly, and then as I get closer to orgasm, I speed up really fast. Then just before I ejaculate, I stop, and when it's safe to proceed, I slowly jerk until I'm close, and then I stop again. I do this for about 30 minutes, depending on how much time I have. If I do not have a lot of time, I just whip it out and start masturbating as fast as I can.

I prefer moving my hand slower, but not too slow. When I move it slowly, it makes the passing of the head slower, and it feels better. I have tried it fast, but it isn't pleasurable. I think I would probably thrust at the same speed, but I would change the speed --like I do now.
- age 15, California
It really depends on what mood I'm in, and what I'm thinking about. But usually, I start off at a decent pace and slow down towards orgasm, and then I just let go to see if I'll keep going or if I'll stop. If you have an orgasm without your hand doing anything, the pleasure you get is amazing.
- age 16, Maryland
I don't move my hand – I lie on top of my hand and thrust my penis into it like I'm having intercourse, using spit for lubricant. I try to keep the pace pretty slow and constant. I guess I speed up a bit just before I ejaculate, but mostly I exaggerate the thrusting and tighten my muscles to enhance the orgasm. When I was young (I started when I was 8), I used to beat it faster than the eye could see, but slow sex is actually better and helps you to gain control.
- age 49, New York
I stroke my penis at a medium pace – not too fast, or slow – and then I speed up when I feel I am getting close. When I start to shoot, I stop or I give my penis a slight stroking, but I let the semen go as it pleases.
- age 15, Florida
I tend to move slowly and keep the same speed, only I grip tighter at climax. During intercourse I like to go slowly and deep.
- age 17, Canada
When I first start I go slow, but not too slow. As I masturbate I tighten my grip and go faster and faster until I shoot my wad.
- age 15, Oklahoma
I rub my hand up and down my erection quickly. Then, right before I hit orgasm, I flip over and begin to rub up and down (as if humping) a special pillow I have. I like it like this, because I find the orgasms are more intense and pleasurable. If I were having sex, I know I would be rough and would insert my penis very hard.
- age 15, Florida
I like to stroke it nice and slow for a little while so my penis gets very stimulated. Then I start moving faster. When I feel close to orgasm, I take a rest for a few seconds. I repeat this procedure several times, until I feel like I can't take it anymore – it takes experience to learn when to know you want to ejaculate. Then I speed up to full speed and let it loose! I've never had sex, but I guess I'd do the same thing in intercourse.
- age 18, Georgia
When I masturbate, sometimes it's really fast, and sometimes I like it slow. If I hear someone coming I beat it really fast, and when I'm done I stick my penis under the blanket so nobody knows.
- age 14, California
It varies greatly depending on my mood, my level of excitement, etc. When I feel really horny and I just need to blow my top, I go really fast for a quick climax. When I feel the horniness slowly building up, I take my time and move slowly. I masturbate until I feel like I'm about to climax, and then I move at a snail's pace, just barely moving at all. I do this one or two more times and finally let go, for a really fulfilling orgasm.

Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
