I think about masturbation all the time — usually about new ways to do it or when I can do it again. For me, masturbating is premeditated. I schedule when I'll have time to myself. Rarely do I masturbate just out of the blue, although that can be very exciting.
- age 20, Oregon
I can never stop thinking about wrapping my hand around my penis! I have a serious addiction. I love masturbation so much I can never get it out of my head. During class I stare at really attractive girls wishing I could masturbate right there and then, or even something else!
- age 15, Florida
Several times a day, although I don't actually do it that often.
- age 59, New Mexico
Oh jeez. I think I may be OBSESSED! I swear! I bring up the subject all the time at lunch, and even the girls at my school get enthused.
- age 14, Kansas
I think about it 27/8! (27 hours a day, 8 days a week) The only time I stopped thinking about masturbating was when I read last week's Question of the Week...GOD that's a nasty thought.
- age 19, New York
I think a better question would be when am I not thinking about masturbation
- age 17, Michigan (female)
At least eight times a day, often much more. I work with around 100 women in my office, ages 23 to 60. I've also thought of doing it with about 75 of them — yes, even the women who are 60.
- age 38, Florida
Constantly. It can interfere with my schoolwork because, for example, I'll be thinking of ecstasy instead of ectoplasms.
- age 17, Texas
Often when I'm in the most inconvenient places, such as school or in the car with my family. I'll think about it, wish I could do it right away, and what I'd do if I could. Sometimes I have to try to push the thought out of my head to get rid of the bulge in my pants.
- age 18, Canada
A lot, although I usually think about sex before I think about masturbating. For instance, just today I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse down a girl's shirt. I was flooded with thoughts of sex. After a while I thought of going home and masturbating, but only because the sexual thoughts I had about her made me so horny.
- age 16, Connecticut
I honestly do not think about masturbating that much. My friend once told me she read somewhere that a person should masturbate at least twice a day. I do try to follow this, but I really do not think about the act of masturbating. I think a lot more about having sex and try to think about my past and future experiences.
- age 20, California (female)
I think about masturbation a lot! I'd venture to say I think about it more than sex. Probably this is because I've decided to stay abstinent until marriage, so masturbation is something I can actually look forward to in the near future (usually right after school).
- age 17, Michigan
Not very often. I don't usually plan masturbation sessions in advance. Pretty much the only time I think about it without actually doing it is when I'm reading JackinWorld.
- age 20, New York
About as often as I breathe.
- age 14, Pennsylvania
During a time that I haven't been masturbating, which is usually only when I have my menstrual period. That sucks, because that's usually when I'm the horniest. I think about it often — not constantly, but about once a week.
- age 14, South Carolina (female)
When I was younger I would think about it dozens of times a day. Every day I would anticipate the chance to stroke myself, and I'd try to think of ways to find enough time — whether in school or wherever. I would also try to decide how I would get off when I got the chance. Now that I'm married, I honestly think more about making love to my wife. Don't get me wrong — I still masturbate, but I find anticipating and fantasizing about intercourse more exciting now.
- age 31, Ohio
It's hard not to. I can't wait until I get home from work to do it. I'm constantly thinking up different ways to masturbate.
- age 28, Ohio
I think about it all the time — usually about new techniques I could try, or whether I could find someone here at college to do it with. It is so erotic for me to think of other guys while I do it! I think it's a masculinity thing.
- age 19, North Dakota
I think about it only right before I do it. So, maybe once or twice a day.
- age 19, California
I think about masturbating perhaps eight times a day — usually when someone says "come" in some form or another! I often have an erection when I wake up, so I am prone to thinking about it then.
- age 15, United Kingdom
That depends on how satisfied my needs have been lately. It's like hunger or any other physical appetite — if you're full you don't think about food, but if you haven't eaten all day, it's all you can think about. It's exactly like hunger for an orgasm.
- age 45, Louisiana
If I haven't done it in a while, I think about it almost every minute of the day. But for now, I think about it the minute I start having time for myself, although that doesn't mean I will masturbate right then and there.
- age 23, Texas
About two or three times a day — while driving home from school, or while I'm taking a shower.
- age 16, Tennessee
I'd say about all the time, but mostly in class. I'll just be sitting there and see a pretty girl, and bam! I get an erection. If I knew nobody would see me, I'd go ahead and do it right there in class — but I know I can't.
- age 14, Texas
I usually think about masturbation all the time — when I get home from school and in the shower at night. With all of that thinking, I usually end up masturbating at night.
- age 13, New Jersey
I think about it whenever I'm not busy doing something, which is about 80% of the day. I'm actually doing it about 10% of the day, so I guess that means I'm doing something productive only 10% of the day. Man — I may have no life, but at least I'm having fun!
- age 23, New Jersey
I think about masturbating often, but when I think about it, it's not me doing it but a woman. (Does that count?) For some reason, this really turns me on, and most of my fantasies involve it. Of course, after I think about that for a while, I want to go masturbate!
- age 24, Florida
Never. Even surfing through some funny hardcore and gay sites. Even talking to friends on the boy topics. Such thoughts come naturally (and usually, before I get hard) when I "lay me down to sleep" or take a shower.
- age 18, Russia
You mean there are other things to think about?
- age 15, Michigan
Not too often. I think masturbation is an all-or-nothing deal. If I do think about it, I'm most likely doing it.
- age 20, Indiana
I think about masturbating all the time! I usually have to do it four or five times a day; otherwise, I'm hard in my pants all day long. Then I'm real close to doing it in my pants! I asked my pals and they all say the same thing.
- age 16, Nebraska
Three to four times every day. I love to masturbate, and when there isn't enough time, thinking about it is the next best thing. It gives me a mental orgasm.
- age 19, Florida
Before I was married it was probably at least once every three hours. Now, I guess I think about sex about every two hours! However, I still think about masturbating alone once or twice a day, and probably actually do it alone a couple of times a week.
- age 30, Minnesota
Sometimes I wish I could stop thinking about it!
- age 15, Canada
Come on, I'm male! When do I not think about all I can do to make my penis happy? After all, it is the center of my universe.
- age 33, Indiana
I guess at some times I think about it more than at others. If I'm flirting with a girl it's the last thing on my mind. But if I'm really bored, I'm usually thinking about it. Some days I think about it non-stop...others, not at all.
- age 15, Virginia
When I'm not doing anything productive (school or work). Many times I think about it on the subway, which is not good because then I have to hide my erections. On average, I think about it perhaps 12 times a day.
- age 19, New York
If I am tied up with something to do, masturbation is not on my mind at all. But when I am idle with nothing else at hand, masturbation is the only thing on my mind. I can't get it off my mind until I have actually done it. If it has been a long time since I last masturbated, that can turn me horny, and regardless of what I do, I look for masturbation in it.
- age 21, India
Whenever I urinate. I have an erection and after urinating, I masturbate.
- age 17, Mexico
Masturbation is not really on my mind all the time, but when I see something like a girl wearing revealing clothing, my penis becomes erect and I feel an urge to masturbate. Sometimes this happens when I go swimming and see bikinis. I'd say I do think regularly of masturbation, like right now....
- age 15, Canada
Although I like to masturbate, I try to think of it as little as possible. If I think about it, I get the urge to do it — not a good thing to have happen in school. The times I usually think about it are in the shower in the morning, or unfortunately, during school.
- age 15, Pennsylvania
Mostly when I get ready to turn in. When I shower, I usually start thinking whether to do it and how. But I think about it at other times during the day and because of different stimuli. Also, it's a common thought when I exercise or ride a bicycle and gain the feeling of becoming stronger. Somehow the thoughts come all by themselves, and I get an uncontrollable erection. I'd say, on average, about ten times a day.
- age 25, Poland
It depends on whether my girlfriend and I are getting along — but more or less a couple of times a day.
- age 17, Wyoming
Not at all, really. Usually masturbation is spur-of-the-moment. Occasionally, I plan it and will think about and look forward to it.
- age 45, North Carolina
I suppose I think about it every day, since that's about how often I do it. When I was younger (junior high and high school) I remember thinking about it often during the day, "planning" the night's session. I would think about which girlie magazine from my small collection I would masturbate to, what position I would be in, and even what room to do it in; sometimes I would do it in different rooms of the house (or even the back yard) when I had the place to myself or when everyone else was asleep. Sometimes I still plan a masturbation session during the day, as a way of passing the time.
- age 35, California
Well, almost every moment. Actually every time I don't work or occupy my mind with something. When my thoughts travel out of this world then comes the jack-off thought.
- age 24, Greece
Not as much as I used to. I can remember times when I was in my teens that I couldn't wait to masturbate again. Those were the days when I faithfully masturbated at least twice a day.
- age 43, Ohio
Usually I begin to think about masturbating when my parents are going out for a while. For example, now my parents are going to movies, and I'm going to masturbate while they are at the movies. No parents --> MASTURBATE!
- age 16, Finland
I think about masturbation often, because I have fantasies about all my female teachers at school. No matter how ugly they may be, I can't help but think about being with them. This often leaves me with an erection between classes.
- age 17, California
I think about sex all the time, and since I don't have anyone locally to love at the moment my thoughts of sex often involve masturbation. I picture myself doing it and my friends doing it, and I wonder how they look when they are masturbating. That makes me hornier, so then I have to go masturbate. Also, I think with guys, anytime we move a certain way it can cause a sexual feeling because our genitals are external. I know my penis seems to think about sex before my brain does and I end up thinking about sex and masturbation. In fact, thinking about it...I'll be back later.
- age 18, Virginia
I can't find the "infinity" key on the computer!
