Interesting topic indeed.
Knowing how it feels to touch another human being naked and sexually and having sex, is really an amazing experience. However more than 95% of the time when this happaned with me since i was younger till now older guy, almost all of those experiences was basically focused on my how my cock feels and what I see and touch.

Meaning I never really connected emotionally I think with another, and the main reason for this I think is because I cant share all my sexual lust with my partners, sometimes want to open up, but that will be a relationship killer.

Thus I revert to edge and long masturbation sessions, sex chat online and a group like this to keep me going of what I really enjoy openly best I can.

Not even close

I like to fuck, but I prefer to masturbate. I've been solo and living alone for 15 years. I haven't had many chances to get pussy and honestly haven't been looking for it either.
If something shows up then great! but otherwise I'm a solid bator

I can usually take myself to a prolonged level of pleasure that is rarely achieved during sex.

But sex isn't just about your pleasure, its about getting your partner off too. The real excitement comes from mutual stimulation, feeding back on each other's arousal. The more aroused my partner becomes the more intense my own excitement becomes. And its body against body, something you don't get in masturbation. Sex is a sensory feast.

Such a good thread. Masturbation and intercourse are different for me and can't replace each other. But I have to admit that if I don't get enough masturbation, I miss it bad.

Those long hours of stroking take me to such a high I can hardly stand it but can't stop. Nothing like it. Never want to stop having them. Wish I could have more.

Yes that is why masturbation provides a whole new experience. It is self pleasure without thepressure of thinking about partner, performing to some preconceived standard,doing what they like. No it's freedom to go just as you want.

Same here...happy to be pussy free and wank myself silly

Very well put, can't agree more with you. Difficult to find partners that have similar wild desires. And in my case, difficult to find partners , and of course forbidden, given am bound to a relation.

Masturbation is more nuanced. It's easier to control when and how I cum.

In my experience, masturbation is a poor runner up to sex.

However, BEING masturbated - skillfully - is way better than sex. Man or woman, someone who really knows what they're doing can deliver the most incredible sensations with their hands, and spin them out for as long as they (or I!) want, culminating in a mind-blowingly powerful orgasm, itself teased and extended out.

I've never felt anything even close to this in sex.

Sorry, no.
I love to jack off but nothing beats fucking a hot pussy

I like what women look like.Not so fond of their psyche.So wanking suits me fine at the moment!

Most excellent point. Most have pysches that are totally off putting when it comes to my selfish needs. My hand offers total comfort!

i'm married 20 years and i prefer stroking with a bud to her pussy at this point. nothing personal no judgement it's just what i like right now. i enjoy male companionship and understanding these days....

i lose myself in masturbation, and edge for hours. i bought a vortex masturbator sleeve and i can last and last with my hardon buried in that wonderful feeling sleeve. and i like using it while chatting with others on-line. when i finally give up and let go, mmmmmmmmm fuck yeaaah.
