Because I can...

I masturbate because its fantastic, orgasmic, feels fucking fantastic and i simply love it.

because i luv doing it..

I just luv to masturbate. It is my favorite way to have sex. The best orgasms for me are from masturbation. No one can make me cum better than I can. Edging has it's advantages. I do masturbate alone quite often but my preference is to masturbate with partners or for voyeurs who enjoy watching. Social mastubation is what I enjoy the most. Friendly encounters with others, male and female. It's safe and very sexy. Good orgasms should be seen and shared.

No one knows how to please me better then ME.......;-)

We do it because of sex hormones. Guys who have been chemically castrated do not masturbate. It would feel like stroking your middle finger.

Touching my penis always feels absolutely wonderful - it is always sexually sensitive. And I love the physical sensations that accompany getting and having an erection. So hard and visually arousing. Stroking feels so satisfying - be it shaft, head, frenulum. A little ball/scrotum and nipple play. I love having orgasms and ejaculating looks and feels amazing. It's easy - I can cum in a couple minutes or enjoy a longer edging experience.

Why does it always feel so good... like Creamaster said - lot's of testosterone!

During my two marriages, the first one for 4 years and the second for 40+ years, I was used to fucking, blow jobs or hand jobs for all that time. When my wife passed away in 2006, I saw no reason to halt my daily or nearly daily ejaculations. About 18 months before she passed away, she brought her widowed sister into our sex life. Sis lives 1700 miles away from me, so the sex between us now is down to 2 or 3 times a year. Between those times, I keep myself satisfied with a daily jackoff. I suppose that the reason anyone masturbates, is because of the great feeling you get absolutely "free" during orgasm. While my orgasm is wonderful, I do believe that the most wonderful feeling and sight is to make, or watch your partner during their orgasm. I absolutly love to watch the look on Sis's face when she cums, and it also gets her off by stroking me and watching me cum.

Both!
I find that I can control my orgasm better when I am totally in charge of all the "equipment". I like edging and getting as close to shooting off as I can. I like stimulating myself to get as hard as possible.

My life partner (wife) does not enjoy sex as much as she used to and she is much less adventurous when we do. So I also "need" to masturbate to get the relief (and enjoyment) I need.

Yes.

Next question.

I like wanking off because I can fantasize about things I'd like to be able to do. Also, I like recalling things I did back when I first started wanking, and imagining some of the scenarios where I nearly had sex but didn't get it because I was too scared to take it further.

I masturbate because it feels great and I find it leaves me nice and relaxed.

Also, it's the only sexual release available to me.
