As interesting as these stories might be, JackinWorld reminds you that in most places it's illegal to masturbate where strangers can see you. It's also not very considerate — people have a right *not* to see other people masturbating if they don't want to. We urge you please to masturbate responsibly.]
When I was in high school, I was a janitor in a girls' Catholic high school. There was a converted chapel there that had been turned into a classroom. One day, after a full day of viewing some particularly nubile teen bodies, I masturbated in the old confessional with the curtain pulled. See you in hell!

This Week's Wackiest Response:
The University of Southern California's library book stacks were notorious for public masturbation. I'd often wait for some co-ed searching for books on the shelves and then "do the deed" on the opposite side, still maintaining sight of the girl through the books. If necessary, I'd pull out a handy book, deposit into its pages and re-file it, all silent and breathless, with her being only a few feet away. If I wanted to be brazen, I'd spill onto the floor and then move away in hiding and watch to see if she'd discover my little surprise when she finally got around to that section.

Once, my friends and I were playing Truth or Dare at a party. I got a dare to masturbate on the side of the road by my friend's house, so I went outside to the curb and started to masturbate. I think only 4 or 5 cars drove past, but they gave me the worst looks. However, I wasn't afraid I would get in trouble, and it felt good to do it in public.

I once masturbated in a classroom of my university with no one else in sight. It was fascinating! I just did it with all my clothes on.

I masturbated in a house that was for sale. I went in about one in the morning to see what it looked like and thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be cool to masturbate here?" So I did it on the kitchen counter.

On the third floor of my university library in a cubicle. I was trying to study for a test and couldn't concentrate because I had an erection that just wouldn't go away. So I stood up from my chair to see if anyone was paying attention, unzipped my fly, and started to masturbate. The difficult part was trying not to make my arm movements too obvious. Luckily I had a piece of blank notebook paper to use for cleanup at the end. The whole experience of masturbating in public was a huge turn-on. It must be a library thing, too, because I've done it several times in the library bathroom between classes.

I went to a Backstreet Boys concert a while ago. I consider myself as gay as a French trombone, so I got really turned on by their sexy dance moves. I was in this dark corner and I thought I wouldn't be seen. It was going swimmingly until somebody tapped me on the shoulder and said they were going to tell security if I didn't stop.

This wasn't exactly "in public," but several years ago I was driving on a farm-to-market road one summer night just a little before midnight when it began to rain. It was very dark, and I was unfamiliar with the road, so I decided to stop and just listen to the rain in the dark. For some reason, I began to feel really horny, so I stripped off my clothes and got out of my vehicle. I sat on the hood of my truck and masturbated to an incredible orgasm in the warm rain. That was one of the best times I've ever had by and with myself!

The *most* public place was probably in class. I was sitting in the back of the room and the teacher was giving the most boring lecture, so I decided to pass the time in a more enjoyable manner. I was wearing loose-fitting khaki shorts and cotton panties, so I just stuck my hand down my shorts and under my panties and started going at it. It was great! As I was about to have an orgasm, I stopped myself. This way, I hoped nobody would realize what I was doing.

The most public place I have masturbated was in a bookstore at the urinal. I have also done it in places like my backyard, in my truck, and right at my front door with it open — and I knew the neighbors across the street were home.

Once I went to the store with my mom and got an erection. I knew that if I walked around all day like that, it would really bother me. So I walked into the bathroom, closed the door, took off my clothes, and sat down on the toilet to masturbate. There was a big crack in the door, and as I got all into my masturbation, I looked up and saw a guy looking at me. I just kept going until I climaxed, and then I looked up at the guy as I ejaculated.

I was in Boston to attend several conventions and functions and had a weekend free. I took the Gray Line Tour out to Cape Cod and Hyannisport. The tour bus was not full, and I sat toward the back. I was able to masturbate to pass the time en route and a couple of times on the way back, in daylight. I was in my 40s at the time.

I don't know if this counts, but my girlfriend and I were in town messing about in the park one night. She said she thought it might be fun if we went for a dip in the fountain. One thing led to another, and we both slipped out of our clothes and started masturbating each other. We heard a noise (someone going for a evening walk) and totally froze. Luckily they went by fast and didn't seem to notice our clothes on the side of the fountain. Afterwards, we continued to masturbate each other. I found that the danger element was a real turn-on.

One time I was traveling on the train at about 5 AM. There was only one other guy there, who happened to be sleeping. I was on my way home from a club and all the images were still fresh in my mind — all the fly girls and cute buff guys. So before I knew it I had opened my pants and was going at it. I had to be quick, though, and do it in between stops. I never got caught and was able to finish — orgasm and all!

I did it when I was in school in the bathroom. A teacher walked in and found me. Then she told me she did it, too. Now we're best friends!

Once I was walking home from the bus stop after a night out drinking, and I stopped by a park to take a pee. It was around 1 AM, so I didn't think anyone would be around. For some reason, urinating outside always sort of turns me on. I decided to masturbate right then and there (partly due to the large amount of booze in me). Just as I was about to climax, a car came around the block, and I was caught in its headlights. I quickly ejaculated against a tree, zipped my pants and ran. To this day I don't know whether the people in the car knew what I was doing.

I masturbated in the boys' changing room. I just had the "need," so I did it. Some people thought I was just sick, but others congratulated me afterwards and asked me things like how it felt and how often I did it.

I masturbated at work in McDonald's, at the drive-through window.

Last summer my family and I took a trip to Oregon in our camper. We stayed in various campgrounds for *two weeks*! I can't go for more than a day without masturbating. So every morning, I would walk to the campground shower building and masturbate while I showered. This seemed to be a foolproof plan. However, there was a *quite* unexpected event that was totally embarrassing. One morning I was showering earlier than most people in the camp and happily going about my business. Just as I reached climax, I heard a noise and turned around only to see a girl about my age looking in at me! It was perhaps the strangest event in my entire life! But we didn't know each other, so I didn't worry about it.

For about the last 10 years, I have been to a number of nude beaches that have secluded areas, such as tall grasses or bushes. It's common for men to find these areas and masturbate. The nice part about this is that you can do it in a somewhat public place without the danger of offending anybody. Also, it is common for a group of males to be masturbating in one of these secluded areas.

I was masturbating in a New York diner, in a one-person bathroom. I was sitting in the corner doing my thing when this old guy came in (I forgot to lock the door — my bad). He looked at me and said, "Don't mind me, young man. I'll be out in a second." I got up and walked very slowly back to the table. I saw the older guy when he came out. He winked at me and waved. My dad asked who it was, and I didn't know what to say.

In a restroom at the university I attended. Once in a human sexuality class, we were discussing our first masturbation experiences with great frankness. After about a half-hour of this, I found myself becoming very aroused. So I slipped out of class quietly, made a beeline to a stall in the nearest ladies' room, and brought myself as quietly as possible to an orgasm. I thought I was alone, but as I was washing my hands, one of my classmates came out of another stall. She smiled at me and said, "So you couldn't wait until class was over, either, huh?"

I masturbated in a photo booth in a mall. Some friends dared me to take a picture of my penis, so I did. It got me so horny I had to masturbate. It was a pretty good orgasm, too.

I love to masturbate in the shower at my health club. I leave the shower curtain or door open just a little so that those who want to watch can. I do it only if they're interested in watching, and often, they will return the favor. On a few rare occasions, I have had people join me in my shower stall.

Last summer when I was at the beach I started masturbating in the ocean. I guess between the motion of the waves and seeing the other guys in their swimsuits just made it feel so awesome. I was able to finish without anyone even noticing it. I can hardly wait for this summer!

I once masturbated in a movie theater. The movie was really boring and I got an erection, so I started rubbing my penis. It was completely dark, so I didn't think anyone could tell I was masturbating. But I was wrong — after I ejaculated, someone told me he could smell my semen. It was so embarrassing that I decided never to go to boring movies again.

In the Navy, I would masturbate in our barracks' showers on the sub base in Pearl Harbor along with a group of buddies — sometimes more, sometimes fewer — at night before turning in. We mostly just enjoyed watching one another doing it. It was a neat way to finish off the day and relax before hitting the sack.

Once I masturbated while I was in a play. It was about Robin Hood, and I was just one of the Merry Men. I was just standing in the back behind a tree and I decided to masturbate. Nobody saw and there were hundreds of people in the audience. After the play, my mom asked why I hid behind a tree for most of the play!

I was in a straight nightclub on a Saturday night and the place was packed. There were 5 people at my table. It was winter, so everyone had a heavy coat. I had mine across my lap, so I unfastened my pants and started to masturbate until I ejaculated. I used a paper napkin from the table in one hand to catch my semen. One of the guys sitting next to me knew what I was doing and was freaking while I did it. The others never figured anything out, and nobody else in the place seemed to be aware of anything.

One time at the zoo, I masturbated to monkeys having sex. Wow! What an experience. I can't wait until the next time we take a field trip to the zoo.

A friend of mine and I masturbated on the Ferris wheel at a carnival near my house. It was one that had round cars, so there was a wall, but I was still visible to people passing over our car. It was such a turn-on to know people could see us enjoying ourselves. Also, the feeling you get from being so high and dropping quickly tickles and makes the orgasm much more intense. I feel sorry for the people who had to clean it up.

Once when I was in high school, I masturbated through my pants during my biology test, and also during a movie in U.S. History. I was bored and rather horny. I am uncircumcised, so I could squeeze my penis head and rub my foreskin over it without anyone noticing. I really got a rush from doing this with all the people around me. No one noticed what was happening. I have also used this technique in restaurants, movie theaters, and busses.

I have masturbated in public toilets on many occasions. I have been discovered a few times — once when the door wasn't locked properly and another woman walked in as I was playing with my dildo. She was very embarrassed and walked out. I have since masturbated with my friends, both male and female, in the public park on summer evenings. We turn each other on.

I've masturbated in the middle of the street in front of my house. It was the middle of the night, so I don't think anyone saw me — but just doing it in such an exposed place was exhilarating.

Once I masturbated in church. I just couldn't hold off, so I slipped into the men's room between services and masturbated into the toilet. I quietly slipped back into the service, still feeling rather pleasant all over.

While hiking in a national park, I had to stop to take a leak. Being in a desert environment, there were no trees to hide behind, only rocks. Voiding my bladder gave me an erection, being out there in the great outdoors. I glanced around to make sure no one was around, dropped my pants to my ankles, and went for it, leaning against a pile of rocks. Much to my surprise, a guy rounded the corner and stopped dead in his tracks! All I could do was shrug my shoulders and offer a weak smile as if to say, "Sorry — it just 'happened'." He smiled in return and then kept on walking. Ironically, a couple of hours later, as I stood on an outcropping of rock, some movement below caught my eye. I looked down to see the same guy, fully engaged in the throes of his own masturbation session. I thought of waving a greeting to my "brother in nature," but decided instead to let him think he was alone and unobserved. I quietly walked on.

Once my dad and I went to Wal-Mart and I stayed in the car and masturbated. It was really cool, except I had to keep looking around to make sure no one was coming. Before long, I was!

When I was in high school, my friend and I were sitting in the back seat of a bus. We dared each other to masturbate, so we did. The bus was almost empty. I don't think any one else knew what we were doing back there, except maybe the bus driver. He smiled at us as we were getting off. (The bus, that is!)

I was working out in my apartment complex's recreation room and started thinking some nasty thoughts. One thing led to another, and I started to masturbate — but then some girl walked in. I was so embarrassed! All she said, though, was, "Can I help?" That was my first sexual experience!
