I'm sure all the guys out there know that riding a school bus can cause you to get a major erection (I guess it's the vibrations). I am one of the last people off the bus, so I occasionally stimulate myself through my shorts while involved in some kind of sexual daydream, but never to orgasm. What's a better way to pass time on the bus than playing with yourself?

It doesn't happen that often, but when it does, I'm usually relaxed — maybe reading some book; more likely by late evening, when I have not too much to think about. There's no special reason; I just happen to be reading, and my hand rests on my lap and crotch. I guess it's pretty common among males to have this habit. Maybe it's just that between relaxation and physical pleasure there's a good feeling.

I don't. What is the point? The last thing I want is to get an erection in a place where or when I cannot masturbate.
- age 13, New York
Only on occasion — I work in an office where I'm alone and have the door closed most of the time. When one of those spontaneous erections comes about, I press it against the bottom of my desktop. It just feels good!
- age 32, Texas
I've begun to realize that I stimulate myself a lot without even realizing it, simply by rubbing back and forth against the bottom of my seat in class and squeezing my thighs together. Now that it's clear to me what I'm doing, I've started to take advantage of it by wearing clothes that allow more movement and contact. Wearing a skirt without panties is great when I dare do it. I also try to sit in the back of class more. I know nobody notices but me, and that's why I love it — especially when my classes get boring, and that's a lot!

During a school day, it can be very difficult not to get aroused. With beautiful teenage girls in tiny outfits walking around, I almost always want to masturbate. Since I would get suspended for masturbating in the boys' bathroom I usually do other things for a cheap thrill. What I like to do most is put a book or backpack on my lap, right over my crotch. It might not sound like much, but when the girl of my dreams is sitting next to me in a short skirt, that pressure on my crotch is the nicest feeling in the world. Plus, no one can tell what I'm doing — it looks completely innocent.

I work in a hardware store and wear a bib, which I keep various items in. The way the pockets are attached makes the tape measure and pens rub my penis and give me three or four erections a day. I was never really aware of them until one day I noticed a man and his wife staring at the front of my bib.
- age 24, California
I go to an all-boys school, and we all have our hands down our pants throughout the day.

Very rarely — if I begin stimulating myself, I usually need to go all the way to orgasm. I find it really difficult to be at work or someplace public, casually stimulate myself a little (even if I am alone), and then not be able to go all the way to relieve myself. That's the whole point anyway: to stimulate yourself to orgasm. Sometimes if it is late in the work day and I'm fairly close to quitting time (or even driving home), I may begin to rub myself through my pants or even unzip my fly and begin tickling myself with one finger — but I need to be able to have an orgasm fairly soon!

Never! I'm in high school most of the day, and if I fooled around with myself and anyone saw me, I'd be made fun of for life. A wise man once said a reputation is like glass: once broken, it can't be fixed.

Lots, but always when I am alone. I touch my penis just for fun while I am watching TV, reading, or whatever.
- age 38, Spain
I get erect a lot during the day without any visual or physical stimulation. Sometimes I contract my pelvic muscles, which causes my penis to jump or move. With no clothes on it moves all around — but in pants, it rubs against my clothes, causing a brief sexual high. If I'm lying on the bed with an erection I might hump it.
- age 15, Arkansas
I'm not big into masturbation. Mostly, the only times I know I'm stimulating myself is when I'm driving for more then half an hour. I'll notice that I squeeze my legs together and I get myself turned on. My family lives about an hour away, so by the time I reach them I have aroused myself substantially and I feel good. I can practically guarantee that later that night I will have sex with my husband. It would be a long night if I didn't!

A lot of times I feel my erection through my pants pocket. It's cool to sit in class and have your hand in your pocket feeling it! The style of big, wide pants helps conceal it. You have lots of room to move your hand around without causing much to see outside. I mostly rub it gently with a couple of fingers — although once I really fisted it and almost ejaculated!
- age 14, Florida
I don't know what you're talking about.
- age 15, Texas
Not too often — hell, every guy scratches his scrotum in the morning. That's not too erotic.
- age 20, Indiana
How many hours are there in a day? It's always on my mind and I always manage to do some special rubbing just for pleasure. In church with the songbook in my lap...in the car with my free hand...walking with my hand in my pocket...eating in a restaurant with my hand under my napkin...*all the time.* By the way, does having a hole in the pocket and actually touching bare skin count, since I'm still dressed?
- age 16, Texas
I don't do it every day — just whenever I need a little "lift" at work. I reach down between my legs and gently rub my clitoris. It doesn't take much, and I can do it very discreetly, even with my office door wide open! If I'm feeling really aroused at lunch, that's when I lock the door and actually masturbate.
- age 38, California (female)
I do it from my pocket constantly — in class, or standing in the hall at school with my friends. It's just sort of an involuntary action. I don't set out to play with myself in public, I just do.
- age 16, Canada
I couldn't even count, because I don't think it's something I'm always aware of. Sometimes I'll be sitting a work with my hand on my crotch — nothing sexy, just grabbing my package. I think a lot of guys habitually (and unconsciously) do this throughout the day. Some days it can get a little inconvenient, because the innocent "grab" makes you want to extend that to a good long stroke!
- age 32, Virginia
I don't know why I do it, but sometimes when I'm in the mood I sit on the arm of a chair and kind of jerk my body a little. I do that as often I can when I'm alone. So when I am doing my homework I sit on the arm of the chair instead of the chair.
- age 15, Greece (female)
Every morning while I am in my bed watching Sportscenter, I play with my penis. I never try to orgasm — I just bring it up to the point where I am going to, and then I stop. Sometimes, though, I lose control and ejaculate. I like to do this because it wakes me up for the rest of the day.
- age 16, Maine
Not at all. I masturbate enough so that I'm at a relatively low level of arousal during the school day — enough so I haven't gotten a spontaneous erection in recent memory. I think it's a lot easier for girls to do the in-public thing than for guys.
- age 16, Connecticut
I don't know if I'm like most girls, but I like to keep myself stimulated as much as possible throughout the day. I can usually accomplish this by sitting with my legs crossed and rocking my free foot up and down. This motion causes my thighs to squeeze and release slightly, causing me to remain in a state of arousal for quite some time. The true release comes once I get home from school!
- age 16, Canada (female)
---I'd say at least four or five times per day. I rub myself with my hand. The reason is usually for adjustment or to scratch an itch.
- age 15, California
I do it about once a day. Usually in school I get horny at some point during the day. In most classes we sit at tables (not those open desks), and I just slip my hand into my pocket and squeeze gently. It feels great, and I can stop anytime. It's also a thrill to get away with it in school.
- age 16, New Hampshire
I guess I stimulate myself about five times a day at various times, whether while watching a stimulating TV show, or if something crosses my mind. Basically I just do it when I'm horny and no one is looking.
- age 18, New York
I do it all the time at school, because I sit next to my girlfriend. We often do it together under the desk in class because it's dangerous and therefore more fun. It is a bit hard for me to hide my erection when class is over, though!
- age 16, United Kingdom
I'm by myself quite a bit during the day, and I'm constantly putting my hand inside my pants to hold myself. It just gives me a sense of comforting. I do a lot of it while driving my car, also. It helps me to keep from falling asleep at the wheel! I love it! I also get caught doing it in front of my wife, and she scolds me for it. I can't help it — it's a security-blanket type of habit. I'll never stop!
- age 57, Ohio
Rarely, if ever ... I enjoy "informally" stimulating myself if I find myself needing some temporary relief when I'm really turned on by something or someone ... just until I can get "formally" stimulated.
- age 16, Canada
I do it about every day in school. I just sit there in class, and all of a sudden I have this monster erection! I start to think about stuff and I get hornier. When I get up I face the wall for about five seconds so no one will see it, and I press my penis against my pants. It feels good for a while, and then I forget about it and it goes away.
- age 13, Michigan
I've never counted, but I stimulate myself as often as I can. At home when working on my computer, usually through soft shorts; or when waiting for a bus with a hand in a pocket. On a train I can position my briefcase on my lap so I press against it. And sometimes at work with a client on the opposite side of the desk I can use a pen held just below desk level.
- age 44, United Kingdom
I think I stimulate myself about 50 times a day, about the same number of times I think about sexual things. I just rub my penis a little, over my pants. Many times I get an erection, and sometimes (if I'm alone) I put my hand inside my clothes and rub a little more, but not to orgasm. I get this need by watching a nice body on TV, on the streets, or anywhere.
- age 14, California
I find that I'm often, uh, rubbing myself. It's pretty much subconscious. I guess I'm just making sure my penis doesn't walk off somewhere without me.
- age 33, California
I never stimulate myself without trying to reach orgasm. Once begun, you cannot stop.
- age 14, Sweden
I often stimulate my nipples during the day. I just give one a tweak now and again. It feels nice, makes me feel good, and I like to have men notice the result — bumpy T-shirts!
- age 25, New York (female)
I stimulate myself about five or six times throughout the day. If I am bored in class and thinking about something, I'll just start rubbing my scrotum and penis. It does give me an erection, so I just sit there and conceal it until it goes down. But this method helps to keep down my horniness.
- age 15, New Jersey
I feel myself as often as I can, even if I know I can't masturbate. I just rub myself over my clothes. I don't know why I do this — probably just to tease myself. But at the end of the day after constantly stimulating myself, when I do masturbate, the orgasm feels so good.
- age 19, New York
If I sit with my legs crossed, I can gently swing the top leg and get a good feeling. Also, if I'm sexually excited, I can squeeze my butt and groin muscles and get a good feeling. I don't know how many times a day I do this, but it's a lot.
- age 14, New Hampshire (female)
I can rub my erection through my pants pocket (I wear pretty baggy pants or jeans) when I take my long bus ride to and from university classes. I go to a back seat with not many people around and stretch out and doze and rub. It feels great and makes a long ride go fast. I try not to ejaculate but have done so once or twice. Luckily I carry a wad of Kleenex for emergencies!
- age 20, Michigan
Sometimes in class I'll look at this one girl and it will just rise to the occasion. Then I just reach into my pocket to shift the infield, but it always feels *so* good — sometimes I do it just for the feeling. This usually happens a couple of times a day because she's in three of my classes.
- age 14, Minnesota
Sometimes I won't stimulate myself at all; other times it's eight times a day. It seems to depend on my mood and the time of the month. When I am in the mood, it doesn't matter where I am or what time it is — I just find a private spot.
