I'm in my mid 40's and have been getting myself off for most of my life like most of us. I'm at the point now where I realize that I jerk off for one of three reasons and I'm wondering if anyone else, male or female, sees things the same way or can she'd more light on the topic: 1. Because I'm horny. Simple and to the point. Get aroused and jerk off. 2. Premeditated. This is more detailed. My wife will tell me that she'll be gone for a few hours or on an overnight trip with her girlfriends and immediately I know that I'm going to edge myself for a few hours. I'll lock the bedroom door, get naked, bust out the lube, and fuck myself for hours. Anally as well. It's the most fantastic orgasm I can have. Unfortunately this only happens maybe a few times a year 3. Just because. This is my most common reason for jerking off. It's almost like a little treat during the course of my day. If I'm going to have a long day at work I'll get in the shower and rub one out in two minutes. Got a few chores to do? Let's rub one out real quick. It's utterly amazing that you can take a few minutes out of your day and give yourself the gift of pleasure with the same mentality of people who will "treat" themselves to a specialty coffee or what not. Whether you are make or female please feel free to discuss and add to the conversation.
