I masturbate quite simply because I love doing it, I love the feel of my cock, I love the sensation as I slowly cum and I love to watch myself doing it in the mirror.

The odd thing for me is that I have always prefered it to any other form of sex. I do it because it is my greatest form of sexual expression and I'd love to share it with a regular bud, male or female

I masturbate because of the intense JOY and SUPREME PLEASURE it brings. For me, edging prolongs the europhic bliss; and quite frankly, I give myself the best orgasms: no one knows myself and my penis (and balls!) better than I do!

It feels good and I love doing it. The nice feeling while masturbating and then cumming is so awesome.

Because nothing feels as good

Because I love it

Well I can give several reasons
Unless you've been chopping peppers or handling chemicals it's one of the true forms of safe sex.
According to study a few yrs back,actually helps prevent prostate cancer.
It releases endorphins and relieves stress.
oh yeah..one more...FEELS GREAT!!!!!!!

I sometimes resist doing it, trying to save it for a good fuck session with my wife. But then pressure builds, the timing is not good or whatever and I end up pulling my bone out and stroking it until I cum. Sometimes I do it a few hours before I know I will be boning my wife and it seems to make me harder and my orgasm bigger as I squeeze out every last drop inside her.

You can put me in the "feels good" category, too...

I masturbate to relieve sexual tension (release sexual energy?) and because I can't find a woman to help me with that need.

reasons i masturbate
a. boredom
b. force of habit
c. horny
d. feels great
e. interesting way to interact with others (esp. here on jackinchat)
f. interesting way to explore fantasies that i might never actually engage in offline
g. feels great
h. great stress reliever
i. feels great
j-- because as much as i both love my wife and have had a few 'freaky experiences' (soft swing with other people etc) 99% of it just isn't quite as much fun as 3+ hours free, a bottle of lube, and a good net connection

I just love the feeling and everything about it. You could say I'm a believer in and advocate of masturbation for my own health, happiness and well-being. When I reach the edging zone after stroking my beautiful dick for long periods of time it's about as close to heaven on earth as I'd imagine anyone could get. I love sex with my wife, but want it far, far more than than she does and while sex lasts for minutes, masturbation can last for hours. 10 hours or more a week of masturbating for me is not unusual, and is time well spent, as it does not interfere with the rest of my life.

Do I "need" to do it? Maybe, I don't know, probably, but I really don't think about it that way. I choose to masturbate - and never regret it when I do!

i agree that for me too it is the greatest sexual experience and expression of my male sexuality. masturbating is a wonderful celebration of everything that is good about being a man and to share that feeling with other men only adds to it.

Tension reliever.

Mostly because it feels good. And sometimes, yeah you really need to
