One of my curiosities/fetishes is when/where/how do you guys in the military (or have been) release your stress by masturbating . . . especially if you've been in a war zone like Iraq or Afghanistan with little or no privacy.

This is many years ago when I was in the Marines (60's).

Me a couple of buds would check into a motel. We'd get our magazines, etc., and settle into the room.

When we first started with our jack off weekends, we would take our turn in the bathroom so we would have privacy. As time went on, we would openly jack in front of each other. No touching or anything else like that. Just jacking off, watching each other, and cumming.

After we got out of the Corps, we never met up again and never talked about our weekends.

Thank you for your inquiry, it brought back a lot of great memories and feelings.

Many years ago also. Was in the navy. Late night showers, sometimes in the head and definitely in my rack. Actually where I discovered the sweet spot. Could really get off that way with very little movement. We didn't have curtains on our bunks so had to be a little more discreet. Was ashore for a short time and would hit the showers real early. Another guy did the same. Ended up in our own corners, backs to each other and jacking. We knew what each other was doing but didn't care and never mentioned. Some times you just gotta.

Really interesting responses...thanx

Currently in the Navy...my buds and I talk about jacking off, especially when we're underway. Showers onboard today have curtains, but we all talk about when we jack off. Also jack off in our racks, which have curtains, but kinda tease the guys who get kind of loud when they cum. It's just something u do, no big deal.

A friend of mine is in the Army, and he told me guys just jerk it in bed. No big deal.

well as a military guy who is currently deployed to the desert right now we all do it just either in the shower or in our own bed which is sectioned off from rest of tent. we all know that each one does it we call our area our jack shack

My Air Force buddies jack in the shower or our own bed, some of us can get pretty vocal when we cum. But that's because most of the time we have huge pent up loads....

Totally boned from reading this, and memories of getting snuck in on base by my Navy bud in Bremerton, WA for some great partying. He and his mates were NOT shy about sharing their porn or jackin' off. Hoping all my buds overseas are safe and sound, getting some good "me" time, and come home unscathed, for Christmas.

I was in Iraq in 04. I did all my jackin in the port o potties. Yeah, it sucked, but having blue balls and running around in the heat with all the gear sucked even more.

I was a pilot in Vietnam. We formed our unit after Flight school, and we all went over together on a troop carrier.
In Vietnam we built our own facilities after we arrived. Basically we had large tents with cots, and 6 or 8 pilots living in each one. We also built our own latrines. We lived this way until we got our permanent housing built.
Between almost a month at sea on a ship, and getting settled in when we got in country, I must have gone more than three months without masturbating, as we had no privacy. We were also pretty busy, as we flew almost every day, and worked on our camp when we weren't flying, and I didn’t really think about masturbating much. I was married, and back then I didn’t do much masturbating when I was with her, so I had been out of practice since being married.

Then late one night I woke up and had to pee. When I got to the latrine I realized I was all alone in the middle of the night. I took off my shorts and began playing with myself and soon got very hard. It was great to be doing that again. I didn’t worry about anything and just got it on.
Man, that felt sooo good when I came. My tensions seemed to all go away and it was more than just a sexual release, but a physical and mental release too.
After that I often made late journeys to the latrine to jack off, and it stayed good.

Later we built our two man hutches. In our room we were separated enough that I could jack off in bed without worrying about getting caught. I can’t remember too much about how much I masturbated after that, I just know I did.
But I will never forget that first night in the latrine.

Glad you guys made it back, and stayed sane!

While I was in Basic I didn't jerk off for about 4 weeks, and for an 18 year old that seems like forever. I was left alone in the dorms one day to be the dorm guard while everyone else was out doing whatever. It was the first opportunity that I had a chance to think about something other than the military. Well, I ended up looking through one of my other flight members dirty clothes back to check out his underwear. It got me so hot I stood there and jerked off and shot my load across the floor. Since then I've always found time to go into a porta potty, take a late night shower, or just jerk off in the community showers which was a thrill because of the possibilities of getting caught. Bottom line is if there is a will there is definitely a way, regardless of whether or not you're in the middle of a hot zone or just back in the dorms.

In navy basic training it was difficult to find a place to do it..but usually in the john late at nite while most guys were sleeping...they didnt have doors on the stalls...and once another guy in a stall across from me...sat down and just started to beat off...like no cares in the world...lol...needless to say after 8 weeks I joined him in a mutual jerk....then off to tech schools...it was easier there because they were 2 or 4 man rooms...and even a few other encounters besides beating off....

I was in the Navy also. I have always loved masturbation and it has been part of my everyday routine to this day. Whether at sea or on shore in the barracks, I always found time to make love to my cock. Early, early in the morning or late at night in the shower. Sometimes in my rack. I was a Chief and we had a bit more, not much, privacy in our berthing compartment. My masturbation in the showers were always "quickies" because we had to take quick, short showers. But, in my rack I often gave myself long, loving masturbation sessions. I discovered or invented many different ways to masturbate besides the standard fist hold and stroke. I began getting "curious" in my mid 40s while still in the Navy. About 6 years ago was my first experience with another man. I still do not have a lot of experience and there are many things I still want to do with a man. But, I have enjoyed mutual masturbation and oral. As I said I've always loved masturbation. Doing it alone is good but when you do it with another man...WOW...incredibly erotic and intensifies your pleasure and orgasm. I also love performing oral love to a man and his cock. It just feels so right and so natural. Believe it or not, it makes me feel manly and masculine when I am in bed with another man. I am soright42@yahoo if you'd care to communicate.
