Lot's of guys (here) have explained why they like to watch other guys jacking off but why do guys LIKE TO BE WATCHED jacking off?

Good question - I've asked myself this many times over. I don't think I've always been this way, but now it excites me to no end when I masturbate (and CUM!) while someone watches. Typically it's for my wife, but before I was married, there were many times were I had the pleasure of masturbating for various people. Girlfriends, girlfriends friends (Very exciting) and on occasion masturbating and cumming for a massage therapists that would not provide happy ending.

Take this one step further, I know that from posts here, and myself included, have taken videos of themselves masturbating then watch and enjoy watching themselves JO on video. (or in front of a mirror)

I'm surprised that nobody has answered your question -- perhaps nobody knows the answer!

I think its obvious and basic: If someone is choosing to watch it means they like what they are seeing. Everyone wants to be liked and desired....

Exactly, to feel that we're attractive enough to someone else to want to watch us be sexual.

When you masturbate in front of someone you're displaying the most personal side of your sexuality, and allowing another person(s)to view your pleasure is often very arousing.

yes it is very arousing

I think it is because it's been considered such a private lone action that to share it with someone, anyone, is a thrill. Years as a teen sneaking porn mags into the bathroom or jacking off when parents were out, then behind the backs off two wives (not at the same time) and a few girlfriends it's so liberating to put on my webcam and have a moment like that with someone else.

When (like myself, thank god) you find a hot woman who likes to watch a guy stroke, and loves cock, you'll discover how hot it is to show her you masturbating. Cocksluts love guys who get really vocal and primal with their stroking. The act right in front of them while they masturbate themselves!

Finding a girl online to mic with is equally satisfying. For the audio minded.

Could it be that it's just such a "social no/no" (we have all been taught that we should NOT do that) that it's a huge turn-on just to do something that naughty?

I loved being watched and appreciated. Webcamming has pretty much killed porn for me. The knowledge that I am turning someone on (M or F) is the biggest thrill. C2C or posing for photo requests for a creative, fun and literate partner is such a gift.

For one thing, after hiding and suppressing all those natural urges of every horned male, socially it's very liberating. Just spread your legs and enjoy the time playing with yourself!

I love getting naked in front of others and jacking in front of others. it shows my primal urge, my animalism, it is a boost to my animal ego to show my dick and even to stroke it in front of others to say "See, i'm a nasty fucker, and I'm available to play!"

It makes me hornier and I cum harder when someone is watching! I love to hear people talk when I stroke or fuck my fleshlight while they watch. I am a nudist and an exhibitionist at heart anyway!

I think because we had jerked off in secret for so long that a new found freedom has allowed us to be honest about our habit and share it with others.
