I have done it on occasion.. It doesn't really do anything for me, because I don't have the patience most of the time

Many do,but won't tell!!!!!I'd rather masturbate than get hooked up with some weirdo just to get off.Besides,it's guarrateed to be good!Patty

Well , I do it haha .. And so does my girl friend.

I use to do it alot but now it doesnt do much for me really... I want to get a toy but no $$ and plus I have my nails done and they are realy long so its way harder to do with ur nails done...

I can honestly say that I never have and I never will. I get sex anytime I want it from my husband, so there is absolutely no reason I would need to and I think it's gross.

Gross? Compared to sex it's incredibly tidy and simple!

I do every now and then, not nearly as much as I used to. It doesn't actually give much of a kick, just a way of relaxing, if I can't sleep or something. It isn't in any way a substitute for sex, it's like a quick snack instead of a steak or a proper meal!

I masterbate everyday before and after I have sex. I have a routine once in the morning and right before I go to bed. I'm 25 and I have been doing it since I was 17. I don't think their is anything wrong with that . Even though my past boyfriends think i'm a nhympho its all good they probley just mad because they can't hang.

It is not gross and anyone who says that it is, is either ashamed that they do it or in complete denial and not in any kind of tune with their body.

You will do it someday girl! Guaranteed! Just because you and your husband have sex all of the time now doesn't mean that you always will. Plus, you will hit your sexual peak and then what? A woman has got to know how to please herself. Well, so does a man. It is all part of being in tune with your body.

I really can't figure out why someone would think masturbating (especially by a girl) is "gross." I could see how you could think that about anal sex (ick!), or maybe about oral sex (like, I won't eat raw oysters either, you know), or even about about ordinary sex (which is a pretty weird thing to do, if you look at it rationally: "you want to put your what in my where???"). But a girl masturbating? Am I missing something here?

I just think it's gross, why would I want to pleasure myself? Hotasfrick, no, I don't think I ever will do it and you have no idea what kind of a person I am, it is rude to say that I am not in tune with my body. There is nothing wrong with a person not wanting to masterbate, I know lots of people who don't do it. I am also very christian and I don't believe in it. The bible says it is wrong.

Masturbating is not wrong!!!!!!And the bible does not say that it is!!!!Lusting is wrong, not masturbating.

And, if you do not masterbate then you cannot be in tune with your body! That isn't rude, it is fact!
I am also very christian, and I understand human nature, the body, and instinct.

Yes, you will masturbate at some point in your life. Just because you supposedly haven't yet does not mean that you won't. You will be surprised.

And as for those "lots of people you know who don't" they are lying, or they have also not come to terms with their body.

A shame it is to be afraid of your own body.

When I was still shy and embarassed about my body and such, I also got really defensive about this subject.
I also said that I never had done it and never would do it, that it was wrong, and gross etc. Which of course were all lies.
But, now that I have matured and grown, I am not ashamed anymore of something so natural and normal.
You cannot depend on anyone else to keep you 100% satisfied. It isn't fair to you or your partner. You cannot be around each other 24/7 and even if you were you probably wouldn't want to have sex with each other! You would be too frustrated from being with them so much.
Also, sometimes we just need to please ourselves quickly. Just get it done. And sex is then not what we really want.

So, don't be embarassed anymore!

I am not ashamed or embarrassed about my body. And yes, you can know your body without masterbating. That is a stupid statement. I wasn't getting defensive about the subject. Aren't I allowed to be entitled to my opinion, as you are? You are the one who is rude and getting all defensive. I could care less if you all masterbate, I was simply responding to a topic.

This is what you said:

"you cannot depend on anyone else to keep you 100% satisfied. It isn't fair to you or your partner. You cannot be around each other 24/7 and even if you were you probably wouldn't want to have sex with each other! You would be too frustrated from being with them so much."

that is not true, I have been with my husband for 7 years and we are always together, when we are not at work. And we don't ever get sick of each other and we don't ever get sick of having sex. Yes I can be completely 100% satisfied with just sex and he likes that I am. So just because you would be frustrated from being with your man all the time doesn't mean that everyone would. You must not truly love that person deeply if you can't stand to be around them all the time.

I'm still wondering what it is that could be described as "gross" -- what do you think women *do* when they masturbate? You mean touching yourself at all? Hell, I put it on the same level as massaging body lotion on. I also get a tremendous, quasi-sexual thrill out of q-tipping my ears after the shower, but that's probably a bit weird....

I think I do too!

Ohh me 2!! I thought that was just a really weird thing I had!! But anyway, even if u have great sex and are 100% happy with your partner theres nothing from with learning how to pleasure yourself! I just really figured out how to satisfy myself and I dont think theres anything harmful in being able to get off even if ur man isnt there

With your husband for 7 years and your always together and never get tired of eachother? Lol..When its been 10 or 15 or even 25 like me then let us know if you feel the same way...

I used to think it was gross too! However, i've done it and only once did it really excite me to the point where I thought I would have a "o" well, now I only do it when my husband and I are wanting to get it on. I have never had a orgasm and don't think I ever will. I just can't, trust me i've tried for one. However, many times my husband and I have had to wait for me to excite myself because otherwise it would hurt to have sex. I don't have much juices if you know what I mean.
