This is difficult to explain, and I honestly don't know exactly how it works in my brain, but when I masturbate I work up to orgasm through lengthy stimulation. This is both physical, the obvious stroking and fondling I do to myself, and visual, which is of course the porn I'm watching. Pictures don't do it enough for me but I will look at them at the beginning of a session. I need porn to cum. Ultimately I usually seek out cum swallow vids to finish.

However I not sure how I actually get to that point. I usually take a long time to cum from furious active masturbation. No edger here. It takes me long enough to ejaculate as it is so I don't purposely edge.

Some days I go for lesbian, sometimes gay, anal, bondage, licking (both pussy and ass,) shemales, physical abuse, pretty much you name it and I'm into it. But sometimes it all doesn't work and other days I cum quick to a sexy lesbian scene before they even take their clothes off. That always surprises me and I really love it.

So I'm interested in how other guys experience their orgasms. Do you know how long it will take or do you know exactly what to look at or watch to get off?

Maybe my lack of understanding myself has to do with the fact that it usually takes me a long time to cum and I can get easily distracted or just plain tired before reaching that special point.

Answering your question - usually I know how long it will take and what will stimulate me. And these depend on many factors. When I am relaxed with lots of time I start with very soft porn and it takes me long time to cum. When I am tired or stressed I usually choose hard porn, sometimes even pervy. Then I am able to finish in 2-3 minutes. E.g. today I'm in relaxed mood, I plan to touch my cock, watch porn and chat for hours.

I once met a guy who also took a good while (hours) to cum even someone else was jacking him off. Not sure how he did with actual sex. Im guessing its just how your wired. I myself cam cum pretty quick if i want too and in fact i have to edge to last a while. Here's how i get the biggest kicks. Ill masturbate for several hours. Usually 1 or 2. Sometimes 3. I start out here reading posts and looking at pics and sometimes chat. I leave the chat room running and look at porn. I like lez, amateur, gay and teen but i look at lots of other stuff too. When im getting to where i want to unload ill watch mastutbation porn. I watch women or teens at first but when i get closer its guys jacking off. Then i just let it out. On other days i watch live cams and cam too.

I was thinking about the fact that, Im now 52, and I am currently masturbating more than at any time in my life, even my teen years. I am Completely relaxed about it. I like porn but probably only use it a third of the time. Im an exhibitionist, and if anyone of my contacts asks me to cum, I will if its at all possible. I can do it on demand, and I like it as a de-stresser. (If your brain is spinning with thre world's shit, masturbate! Its like a reboot.

Pretty much everything sets me off. Maybe a fantastic ass on the street. I load the image into MY brain, and replay later

I sometimes need tho jackhammer pump to cum, if my count OS very high, 7+ for the day, for example. Sometimes, in the last few years, Im completely aware as Im doing it that im up for another immediately after.

I've always been able to cum very quickly if I want to. But now it takes a bit longer. I really enjoy taking my time. I don't need porn. But i do get off to it when I have the time to watch. This could be a video or chaturbate where I like to jerk along with a hot hung young guy. A mirror or video of myself cumming will always get me off. When my wife gives me a spectacular handjob it usually takes about 15 minutes depending on the technique she uses. I like to hold off and enjoy the ride. We don't fuck anymore. It's just doing each other with hands and fingers but when we did fuck it probably took me about 10 -15 minutes depending on the position. The orgasms I'm experiencing with her handjobs recently are absolutely mind blowing and better than I've ever been able to induce myself. I wonder how much longer this will go on. I sure hope it never ends. But when I'm alone I am able to cum quickly or take a little bit more time. I enjoy my cock immensely. I also like to join younger guys on SKYPE for JO sessions and those can either be lengthy or pretty quick. Guess I'm versatile.

Thanks for the responses! I guess it is a variety of things (duh) that work for everyone. I've been on cam with guys who cum after only a few minutes because they've been working at it awhile before we get on cam. I do like watching other guys cum "in person" like that. It's exciting to watch him go over the edge, so to speak.

Lately I've been reading more erotica, basically because my wife is home more often because of COVID and I don't have an opportunity to sit in front of the computer and masturbate like I used to. That kind of brings me back to early days before free porn was available online. I would read stories in Penthouse over and over and cum every time. Forum and Call Me Madam. Loved those stories and the sheer volume of what's available online now is staggering, and I don't have to buy a magazine.

New masturbation method at the age of 75
I have been masturbating regularly for 66 years now. Now at the age of 75, my urinal system is so dull that I can only induce an orgasm with great difficulty. This is important to me because I want to pass the ejaculate out. That's why I developed a new masturbation method for myself. As before, I masturbate with the 3 finger method, using the entire stroke of the foreskin to over the glans. In addition, I insert a 10mm rib dilator up through the prostate. This allows me to stimulate my prostate and urethra during masturbation by moving the dilator back and forth. The dilator is thin enough that I can ejaculate without any problems. Because I get a 13mm dilator into my urethra.

I can pretty much orgasm when I want to. While I could do it in as little as 5 minutes, I very rarely do. I usually won't even start masturbating unless I'm pretty sure I'll have at least an hour to devote to it. I like to take my time and edge, and usually ejaculate when I finally decide to.

I mostly look at amateur porn while I'm masturbating, and when I'm ready I'll usually try and find some cumshot scene or picture to finally finish with. Doesn't really matter if it's a guy/girl sex scene cumshot or even just a solo guy cumming, I like to watch another cum squirting dick when I'm about to do it myself.

I agree that I like to have a lot of time to enjoy myself and edge for a while. I never was into a quick jerk. When you have the time there is nothing like being totally selfish and enjoy yourself. I have become fond of my wife's small and personal vibrator. I frequently will turn it on and put it in my jockey like shorts which holds it nice and close to the cock for great stimulation. I need to be careful not to have the speed to high or it will make me cum too soon. I sometimes walk around the house with it that way and then almost cum then turn it off ...settle down and do it again. I like to do this too when chatting I have come to the stage where I hate to cum alone and like to stroke and edge with someone else male or female to orgasm. Frequently it is nice to stroke together to my wife's pictures or their wife and in more long term relationships enjoy doing a tribute or two. Nice to see a hard cock next to my wife's picture
