Yes, it might seem to be a simple task, but there IS a RIGHT way and a WRONG way to measure your johnson. Why nit-pick about how anyone measures? Well, the answer is simple. All of the research studies conducted on penis size measure the same certain way. That way the studies are uniform and accurate and the results can be compared between them.
The same holds true for when you measure yourself. If you don’t do it the same way the research studies do, then you really can’t compare your own results with theirs. And, to bring it closer to home, if your buddy says he’s 7 inches and you say you’re six inches, it really doesn’t matter unless you’ve both measured it the same way.
So, what is the correct way to measure? The chart above shows you how. The blue lines show the right way.The red lines show the wrong way.
For LENGTH you need to measure along the top side of your penis (the side that you look down at when you’re standing with a boner.) You measure from the base (where your penis connects to your body) to the tip (the end of your ween). You do not measure along the side (that could add an extra inch). You do not measure underneath or from behind your balls, or from your balls to the tip.
For GIRTH (also known as circumference) you measure the distance AROUND the middle of your erection. It’s kind of like if you were a bird flying around a tree that starts at one point, travels around the tree, and arrives back at the same point. Girth is often confused with DIAMETER or WIDTH. These are measurements of the distance from one side of your penis to the other.
So just thought we’d make an effort to get everybody on the same page in case you weren’t already. So if you want to know where you stack up with the studies or with your friends, make sure everyone is measuring the same way. And when you friend tells you he’s fifteen inches long, changes are he’s measuring from the back of his butt and not along the top from base to tip.
Let’s being with a visit to Wikipedia, just because their definition is…so….precise.
“Autofellatio is the act of oral stimulation of one’s own penis as a form of masturbation. It is physically possible for men who have sufficient flexibility, penis size or a combination of the two to perform autofellatio….Few men possess sufficient flexibility and penis length to safely perform the necessary frontbend. However, increased flexibility achieved via gravity-assisted positions, and physical training such as gymnastics, contortion, or yoga may make it possible for some.”
Is it weird for a guy to give himself a blowjob? Or want to? Or at least to attempt to? My opinion is no. Although on the surface it may seem like a latent homosexual act, I think there’s really no “sexuality” to it. It strikes me as just another variation on masturbation. Doesn’t mean you secretly want to perform the act on someone as much as it means you’d like a little variety in your masturbatory routine. It’s a heightened level of intimacy with yourself that your hand can’t offer. It’s kind like with dogs. Why do they lick themselves? Well pretty much because they can.
In my opinion (and of course I could be wrong), I think trying to give yourself a blowjob is something pretty much every guy attempts at least once in their lives. It seems to be one of those things that just makes sense to try. Few of us, however, actually succeed. Autofellatio, or being able to suck yourself is pretty rare. Sex researchers Craig Bartle and Alfred Charles Kinseyr eported thatfewer than 1% of males can successfully orally contact their own penis and that only 2 or 3 men in a thousand could perform a full autofellatio. And many of those that can make contact can only do so with the tip of their tongue. Even more disconcerting is the fact that some guys can do it in their younger years but lose the ability over the years due to decreasing flexibility and incresing gut size.
The basic methods for performing autofellation are the “bend over and go” or the “lay on your back with your legs over your head” techniques. Be warned that these positions are not necesssarily natural or comfortable and pushing yourself could result in injury. If you’re gonna give it a shot, go slow and be careful! If you want to dive deeper into the subject there are a lot of websites out there claiming to be able to help you with some advanced flexibility training and the like. And, if you’ve got an extra $400 laying around, there’s even a book on the subject available on Amazon (shipping not included).
So how about you? Ever tried it? Do it every night? Would never even think of it? Think it’s only a gay thing? Take the polls and let’s see who’s willing to admit to what…
So you’re a straight guy. You like girls. You lust after girls. You get boners over girls. You wanna do crazy things to girls. But what’s this? You had a dream last night about having sex with a guy? You fantasized about a guy when you were jacking off? You can’t keep your eyes from wandering in gym class? You got a boner skinny dipping with the guys? What’s up with that?
This is one area that might be super hard for a guy to admit to. But if we’re all being honest here, you know that it happens. In fact, if you look at a lot of the poll results on this blog you might be surprised to find that a very high percentage of guys identifying as straight report preferring gay porn over straight porn and having same sex dreams and fantasies.
These kind of events may be a little bit unnerving for those of you that identify as straight. I mean if you’re straight, why would you be getting a boner over a guy? Or even thinking about other guys? Does that mean you’re not really straight?
Well here are my thoughts on this potentially confusing subject. These are just my opinions, I’m not like a psychologist or anything, so take them as you will….
In my opinion, having same sex thoughts, curiosities, fantasies and desires COULD be signs that maybe, maybe you’re really not so completely straight after all. Maybe you’re emerging as a bisexual or homosexual…………Or………maybe it’s just the natural random expressions of your developing sexual self. Research studies consistently agree that having same-sex thoughts, curiosities, fantasies and desires are all pretty common occurrences for guys who are otherwise completely straight. This is particularly true of adolescents who are going through a period of sexual development, identity development, rampaging hormones, sexual learning, and just plain curiosity.
Here are some of the many reasons why predominantly straight guys can experience less than straight thoughts and feelings…
1. Well, there’s always the obvious and simple answer. Maybe you’ve jumped the gun. For many guys, sexual orientation can be somewhat turbulent during adolescence and emerges as more of a certainty later on. In other words, maybe you’re not anything yet and what you’re orientation ends up being is still to be solidified. Gay thoughts? Gay desires? Gay deeds? Hey, maybe you’re gay.
2. When you’re younger, practically EVERYTHING is sexual or at least new and sexual. So something like taking a shower with NAKED people (even though they are guys) gets sexual in your mind. Being NAKED in front of people (even though they are guys) gets sexual in your mind and POP, there goes a boner. Wrestling with a buddy is having skin on skin CONTACT and it goes all erotic in your mind. POP another boner.
3. You’re just plain curious about how you compare with other guys. Are you more developed? Less developed? Does your junk look “right” compared to everyone else? Are you bigger? Smaller? Hairier? It’s pretty normal to see how you compare with your buddies and sneaking peaks can hardly be helped. Besides, penies are pretty fascinating. Admit it your unit is a pretty amazing thing. It changes size and shape and it’s fun to play with. It’s just hanging out there practically demanding you attention. It’s pretty normal to be fascinated by it and in turn to be fascinated about what other guys are packing and how they compare to yours.
4. We often have fantasies about things that are exciting, forbidden, taboo, and exotic. Having thoughts doesn’t mean we necessarily would ever ever act on them. You may have a fantasy about dressing up in leather and tying up your math teacher. Doesn’t mean you’re ever going to actually DO that. You may have a fantasy about sex with a male movie star because they are certainly beautiful and sexy. Doesn’t mean you’re going to start humping on the next guy you see. So you’re straight but you have broader ranging sexual fantasies. Doesn’t mean you’re not straight.
5. In our teenage and pre-teenage years we’re forming our abilities to have deep emotional attachments with others. Oftentimes it’s all too easy to confuse the deep love we feel for a male best friend with the deep love we may feel for a girl in class. Our emotions and hormones are raging all over the place and sometimes its hard to sort out the intensity of it all. Somewhere in all that we end up feeling sexual about what several years later would be more of a brotherly affection.
6. Guys having sex is sexy. It’s not hard for a lot of guys to admit that, like the female form, the male form can be beautiful too. Add to that that as a teenager you’re probably not as sexually experienced and so wanting to see how guys function during sex is only natural. It ends up being a mix in your mind of beautiful people doing things you are curious about that are highly arousing. Kind of explains why some straight guys dig gay porn.
So once again we’re faced with another situation of hey, maybe it’s one thing, maybe it’s another. Point is, like pretty much all things we face when growing up, is to try and not stress about it too much. If you believe yourself to be straight and are having gay thoughts, dreams and fantasies, don’t be too concerned. It’s completely normal. Time will tell how things fall into place.
I’ve never been a fan of labels…especially when it comes to sexuality. As we’ve talked about many times, the rigid classifications of gay, straight, and bi don’t always seem to fit too comfortably. “Bisexual” by definition is probably the most flexible of the current labels, but looks like sex researcher J.R. Little has come up with some labels within the labels lest we let the term “bisexual” get all wishy-washy and undefined on everybody.
Bisexuality itself is a somewhat slippery, mis-understood, and controversial classification. Many people don’t even believe it exists, claiming it’s just a transitional rest stop on the way to becoming gay for people too scared to take the big plunge. Others think it’s just a cop-out for the terminally confused. Well personally, I believe bisexuality, or whatever you want to call it, is a legitimate thing. It’s real. It’s felt. Doesn’t really matter what you call it. I personally believe it exists and is very real for those of you who feel that way.
The following is an interesting article that talks about the whole nature of bisexuality and presents Little’s 13 sub-forms. It’s edited from a post called, “The 13 Forms of Bisexuality” written by relationship counselor, Kathy Labriola and published 4/18/11 on a website called TwoDayMag.com. Enjoy…
If sexuality is fluid…should you just go with the flow?
There is a lot of confusion about the concept of bisexuality. Many people are 100% gay or lesbian; in other words, they are sexually and emotionally attracted only to partners of the same sex. Others are completely heterosexual, bonding in sexual and intimate relationships only with people of another sex. But, what about everybody else?
A significant percentage of people do not fit neatly into either of these categories, because they experience sexual and emotional attractions and feelings for people of different genders at some point during their lives. For lack of a better term, they are called, bisexuals. Many people hate this term, for a variety of reasons, and prefer to call themselves “pansexual,” “non-preferential,” “sexually fluid,” “ambisexual,” or simply, “queer.”
The Kinsey scale of zero to six was developed by sex researcher and pioneer Alfred Kinsey (you probably saw the movie about him a few years ago) to describe sexual orientation as a continuum from zero to six. Heterosexual people are at “zero” on the scale, gay and lesbian people are at “six” at the other end of the scale. Everyone in between, from one to five, is bisexual.
People who fall at one or two on the scale have primarily heterosexual sexual and affectional relationships and desires, but have some attraction and experiences with same-sex partners, as well. People at three on the scale are approximately equally attracted to both men and women. People at four and five on the Kinsey scale choose primarily same-sex partners, but are not completely gay or lesbian and have some heterosexual tendencies and relationships, as well.
This picture has become further complicated in recent years since many people have become more gender-fluid, or have transitioned from their birth gender to a different gender. The labels heterosexual, gay, lesbian, and bisexual all are based on the old-fashioned concept that there are only two genders, male and female, and that whatever gender you are born with is authentic.
Many transgender people are transitioning from male to female, or from female to male, or identify as “gender-queer” because they do not comfortably fit into either the male or female gender. Since sexual orientation has always been based on the gender of your sexual partners, if gender is not a rigid category, labels such as straight and gay become much less meaningful or relevant.
There is no simple definition of bisexuality, and bisexual people are a very diverse group. There are several theories about different models of bisexual behavior. J. R. Little is a psychologist whose extensive research identified at least 13 types of bisexuality, as defined by sexual desires and experiences.
They are:
1. Alternating bisexuals: May have a relationship with a man, and then after that relationship ends, may choose a female partner for a subsequent relationship, and many go back to a male partner in the future.
2. Circumstantial bisexuals: Primarily heterosexual, but will choose same sex partners only if they have no access to other-sex partners, such as when in jail, in the military, or in a gender-segregated school.
3. Concurrent relationship bisexuals: Have primary relationship with one gender only but have other casual or secondary relationships with people of another gender at the same time.
4. Conditional bisexuals: Either straight or gay/lesbian, but will switch to a relationship with another gender for a specific purpose, such as young straight males who become gay prostitutes to make money or lesbians who get married to men in order to gain acceptance from family members or to have children.
5. Emotional bisexuals: Have intimate emotional relationships with both men and women, but only have sexual relationships with one gender.
6. Integrated bisexuals: Have more than one primary relationship at the same time, one with a man and one with a woman.
7. Exploratory bisexuals: Either straight or gay/lesbian, but have sex with another gender just to satisfy curiosity or “see what it’s like.”
8. Hedonistic bisexuals: Primarily straight or gay/lesbian but will sometimes have recreational sex with a different gender purely for sexual satisfaction.
9. Recreational bisexuals: Primarily heterosexual, but engage in gay or lesbian sex only when under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.
10. Isolated bisexuals: 100% straight or gay/lesbian now but has had at one or more sexual experience with another gender in the past.
11. Latent bisexuals: Completely straight or gay lesbian in behavior, but they have strong desire for sex with another gender but have never acted on it.
12. Motivational bisexuals: Straight women who have sex with other women to please their male partner who requests it for his own titillation.
13. Transitional bisexuals: Temporarily identify as bisexual while in the process of moving from being straight to being gay or lesbian, or going from being gay or lesbian to being heterosexual.
While literally millions of people are bisexual, most keep their sexual orientation secret, so bisexual people as a group are nearly invisible in society. Gay men and lesbian women have long recognized the need to join together, create community, and to organize politically. Long years of hard work have led to significant gains in political and human rights, as well as a visible and thriving gay and lesbian community. Bisexual people have been much slower to come out of the closet, create community, and form political and social networks to gain visibility and political clout.
Many bisexual people complain that they feel like outsiders in both the straight and gay/lesbian worlds. They don’t fit in anywhere, feeling isolated and confused because they lack any community where they can find acceptance and role models. Many gay men feel that bisexual men are really gay, that they are just in denial about being gay. Many straight men are homophobic and hate and fear both bisexual and gay men, often victimizing them with harassment and physical violence. Many straight women reject bisexual men out of misguided fears that they have HIV or other sexually transmitted infections, and want them to “stop sitting on the fence” and “make up your mind.” Bisexual women are often distrusted by lesbians for “sleeping with the enemy,” hanging onto heterosexual privileges through relationships with men, and betraying their allegiance to women. Straight women often reject bisexual women out of fear they will make sexual overtures and try to “convert” them to being bisexual.
Both the straight and gay/lesbian communities seem to have only two possible models of bisexuality, neither of which represents bisexual people accurately. The first is the “transitional model” of bisexuality, believing that all bisexuals are actually gay or lesbian but are just on the way to eventually coming out as gay. The other is the “pathological model”, that bisexuals are neurotic or mentally unstable because they are in conflict trying to decide whether they are straight or gay/lesbian, and that they just can’t make a decision. Both models see bisexuality as a temporary experience or a “phase” born out of confusion rather than an authentic sexual orientation. Some see bisexuality as inherently subversive because it blurs the boundaries, confronting both heterosexuals and gay men and lesbian women with sexual ambiguity.
As a result, bisexuality challenges concepts of sexuality, traditional relationship and family structures, monogamy, gender, and identity. Bisexuals cannot conform to either the gay or straight world or they would not be bisexual. Instead they must re-invent personal ethics for themselves, and create responsible lifestyles and relationships that serve their needs even though they don’t fit anyone else’s rules.
Bisexual people must struggle to invent their own identities to correspond to their own experience. Forming a bisexual identity helps bisexual people to make sense of and give meaning and definition to their reality.
Many guys go through a somewhat interesting experience at some point (usually) during puberty. It’s one of those life moments, passages into manhood, coming of age events. It’s the BIG talk on masturbation. Usually it occurs during the BIG TALK on sex and growing up, but sometimes there is a specific conversation about beating off. Most often it’s dad counselling his son, or possibly it’s an older brother who’s been asked to have a chat with you because Mom’s been noticing all the crunchy socks in the laundry. Or maybe you’ve gotten busted in the act of jerking it and got a little sit down session with the parents. It can be a good experience for all, or it can be a squirming in your chair event. It doesn’t happen to everyone of course, but has it happened to you? How did it go? How did you feel about it? What did you talk about? Take the polls below and let’s see what’s up.
The following is an edited report from condomdepot.com, an online condom ordering site…
This year our “Official Condom Tester Pool” consisted of regular customers that were asked to sample 40 of our best condoms. The forty condoms they received where decided by combining our top Selling Condoms with the ratings we receive from our customers via online reviews. Our official condom tester team was made up of folks from a varied segment of the population including, Three Florida Swingers Clubs, Students from various Universities and 50 couples of various ages. This year our pool consisted of 250.
Here are their top five picks…(SecretGuyStuff makes no claims or offers no endorsements. This is just a report.).
1. CROWN SKINLESS SKIN CONDOMS (1OTH YEAR IN A ROW). Are these the best condoms ever? Year after year, our customers constantly rate them at the head of the class. In terms of sensitivity, reliability and comfort the Crown Skinless Skin is unmatched…famous for being ridiculously thin yet super strong. They are manufactured in Japan by Okamoto. Bottom Line: It feels like you have nothing on.
2. DUREX EXTRA SENSITIVE CONDOMS (6 TIME WINNER). New addition to the World’s Best Condom List. The Extra Sensitive from Durex is The Thinnest Latex condom in the Durex product line. Super sensitivity, a good deal of lubricant and also with a slightly wider head. All of these characteristics make this condom Great. This condom was also rated most dependable condom by the Consumer Reports team in its last round of testing in 2005.
3. BEYOND SEVEN CONDOMS (6 TIME WINNER). Made in Japan, these condoms are a tad narrower then your average condom and fit just like a glove. Beyond seven are made out of a latex called Sheerlon that is made thinner without compromising strength. A Reviewer in Storrs, CT said- “I recommend these to everybody! A Phenomenal Condom. I never thought they could make such a difference, it feels like nothing is there.”
4. LIFESTYLES X2 CONDOMS (1ST TIME WINNER). Excite Enhancement Gel is on both sides of the latex, which may add blood flow to both partner’s private parts. The gel itself contains L-Arginine, which is a natural supplement that enhances sensation. L-Arginine is sometimes used to treat erectile dysfunction due to its promotion of nitric oxide, which helps supply blood to the penis. It’s also used to treat female sexual dysfunction. More blood flow equals more pleasure for both partners! What a GREAT concept!
5. IMPULSE BARE PLEASURE CONDOMS (3 TIME WINNER). Many of our customers rave about this newer condom. Although it’s average in size, the Bare Pleasure backs a heck of a punch with its studded and ribbed texture. This adds a great dimension to your partner’s overall satisfaction. Top that off with a low latex odor and you have a winner!
Editor’s Note: Condoms are super important. If you are sexually active you gotta gotta, no questions asked, gotta use them. All the time. Correctly. They are effective at preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases including the HIV virus. They are effective at preventing pregnancy. This is too important to take lightly. Thanks!
Pornography can be a touchy topic. (I know I know, a VERY touchy topic, har har.) Much has been discussed for years regarding porn’s place in and impact on society. The evil it causes and/or the good it does. It’s negative effects upon us and it’s supposed positve effects. Those are all very important topics, but let’s save that for another day.
For now, let’s keep it simple and take a look at how and IF guys use porn. The popular assumption would be that sure, all guys like porn…a lot! Is that really true? It’s probably safe to say that most guys have seen porn at one point or another and that many watch it regularly. What’s your story when it comes to porn? How often do you check out porn? What kind of porn do you like? And, a question from one of our readers…What would happen if you got caught? Check out the polls and let’s take a look.
Okay time for another break from the serious stuff. This time we’re taking a look at three male supermodels who you probably either know very well or at the very least have run across in a magazine or two. First up is Francisco Lachowski (20) on the left hand side of the picture, then we have 20-year-old River Viiperi (top right) and finally 24-year-old AJ Abualrub (bottom right). Straight, gay, or bi, gotta admit these guys are one the hotter side of most people’s sensisbilities. Take a look at the polls below and let’s see what everyone thinks about their….less than obvious attributes.
Although pretty much every guy slaps the salami with some regularity, and although we may explore new techniques, or do it in some exotic place from time to time, there is most often a kind of routine to our spanking rituals. We tend to do it a certain way, at a certain time of day, in a certain place, clean it up with a certain thing, on somewhat of a regular basis. That’s not to say that beating off is boring lol. Anyone who’s done it pretty much looks forward to the next time whether it’s the same ol’ same ol’ or some new masturbatory adventure.
We’ve pursued many of these topics before, but let’s do a check in and take a look at everyone’s most common beat off behaviors. So what are your “this is how it most often goes down” ways of whacking off?
Circumference. Hmmm sounds like a bad time in high school math class. GIRTH. There. That’s better. Whatever you call it, we’re talking about the how thick is your dick. Guys are all about length. We measure the length, we keep track of it, we compare it. We worry that we are judged because of it. Porno productions advertise it. Gym class heroes flaunt it. We insult each other seriously and in jest based on the length (real or percieved) of our members.
Somewhere in all that, girth seems to have taken a back seat. Girth, or circumference if you prefer is the measurement of our member AROUND the middle. It gauges how thick/fat we are. It is NOT the measurement ACROSS. That would be the WIDTH. No, we’re talking about like if you were standing in front of a tree and walked around it with a flexible tape measure until you returned to your original spot. That circle AROUND the tree would measure its circumference, or if you prefer, its girth. Got it? lol. Class dismissed.
But, whatever the reason, girth statistics have never gained the status that length statistics have. Many of our own surveys on this site reveal that a majority of guys know the length of their erection, but many have never gotten around to measuring girth. And you never really hear any of your friends insulting one another by calling them a “skinny penis” or anything like that.
So what is the average girth measurement of an adult male erection? Most studies put it at around 4.8 inches. Of course that’s just the average. Actual erection girths can vary up and down from there. And, keep in mind if you are not a full grown adult, your girth can thicken up over the course of adolescence.
So what’s your girth? Have you ever measured? If not, why not? Here are some tips to help those who seem to have a tough time taking this measurement or visualizing their girth in their mind.
1. Use a tape measure! Tape measures are flexible and easily bend around your unit. They can usually be found around the house in the sewing basket or in the tool box. Obviously a ruler or other hard measurement device is going to be tough to take an accurate reading with.
2. Measure twice! Take something like a strip of paper, a shoelace, some dental floss or any other string-like object and use that to measure around your unit. Mark the spot and then lay the string flat against a ruler and see how long it is.
3. Need some visual reference? Here are the apporximate GIRTH measurements of some common household objects you can compare yourself with…
UNITED STATES QUARTER — ABOUT 3 INCHES
TYPICAL ALUMINUM FOIL TUBE — 3 1/2 INCHES
D SIZE BATTERY — A LITTLE UNDER 4 INCHES
TYPICAL CLEAR PLASTIC WRAP TUBE — 4 1/2 INCHES
TYPICAL TOILET PAPER TUBE — 5 1/2 INCHES
TYPICAL PAPER TOWEL TUBE — 5 1/2 INCHES
6 OZ. BOTTLE OF LOUISIANNA HOT SAUCE — 6 INCHES
12 OZ. COCA COLA CAN — 8 1/4 INCHES
16 OZ. MONSTER CAN — 8 1/4 INCHES
THE BOTTOM OF A STARBUCKS COFFEE SLEEVE — 9 INCHES
In honor of “May Is National Masturbation Month”, we’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of movies that contain memorable masturbation scenes. Sex scenes abound in movies, but not often of the solo sort. (And we’re talking about regular ol’ movies, not porn.) So in case you’d ever like to have your own home movie marathon (or want to be sure which ones to avoid when watching with the parents) here are some selections you can check out.
They’re listed chronologically starting with older movies and progressing to more recent ones. Have any that we missed? Got a favorite we overlooked? Let us know and we’ll update. Happy viewing!
Last Tango in Paris (1972) – Maria Schneider and Marlon Brando get busy with the boffing.
Portnoy’s Complaint (1972) — The Philip Roth book on which the movie was based broke barriers in it’s frank discussion of a teenage wankaholic. Not all of that makes it to the screen but, for better or worse, they included the liver episode. Possibly a precursor to the famous American Pie scene?

Life as a House (2001) — Hayden Christensen uses some risky and not-recommended techniques to get off in the bedroom closet.
Mulholland Drive (2001) — Disturbing. Confusing. Surreal. Creepy. That’s not just Naomi Watts’ masturbation scene. That’s director David Lynch’s entire movie. And we mean that in a good way.
Y tu Mama Tambien (2001) — Two buddies beat off on adjacent swimming pool diving boards. Refreshing for its candid and unselfconscious look at mutual JO.
Auto-Focus (2002) – Greg Kinnear (playing Bob Crane of Hogan’s Heroes) and Willem Dafoe get to it.

Black Swan (2010) — Natalie Portman gets phycho sexual.
Continuing our celebration of National Masturbation Month (Yes, that’s really true, May is National Masturbation Month) here’s another interesting look at the reported health benefits of boffing your bologna. The following article was published on FoxNews.com, August 11, 2008 and was written by noted sex educator and columnist, Yvonne K. Fulbright.
Perhaps the joke’s on us. While people love to make wisecracks about it, few will actually admit to doing “it.”
Yet, according to Martha Cornog, of “The Big Book of Masturbation”, self-pleasuring is surely the second most common human sex act. And, despite its torrid history, that’s proving to be a good thing. Turns out this once taboo behavior has plenty of health benefits and can do wonders for your sex life. While the shackles of masturbation have been loosening around our loins, it is only recently that society has started to let go of its guilt around solo sex. This is in part thanks to sex researchers affirming that most of us do it, as well as the embracing of it by television sitcoms. Who can forget the bet made by Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer as to who could remain the “master of their domain” the longest?
Even if you’re not a conformist, there’s something about safety in numbers when it comes to this topic. (And if it makes you feel even better, know that masturbation is common among other animals, like dogs, cats, horses, bulls, rats, hamsters, deer, and whales, too). This more relaxed attitude is also due to the medical community challenging its own original claims that masturbation was a serious medical-ethical problem with dire results.
According to works like Onania, circa 1712, male masturbation was said to lead to disease or disorder with the loss of semen. Likewise, in losing vaginal fluid, a female who took matters into her own hands was supposedly at risk for hysteria, jaundice, epileptic fits, and other negative health conditions. Of equal concern, self-pleasuring was thought to send her down the road to sodomy as well. Anybody with “solo sexploration” experience can tell you that, contrary to popular myths, masturbation does not result in any of the aforementioned, nor does it lead to acne, warts, hair on the palm, insanity, blindness… What many may not know, however, is that stimulating yourself can ultimately boost your health in many ways.
Health Benefits for Men
Research summarized in a 2007 article in Sexual and Relationship Therapy found that masturbation may help men by:
— Improving his immune system’s functioning.
— Building his resistance to prostate gland infection.
— Making for a healthier prostate. Australian researchers have reported that frequent masturbation may lower a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer. A survey of men found the more frequently a man masturbates between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to get prostate cancer. In fact, those who masturbated more than five times a week were one-third less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Health Benefits for Females
When it comes to a woman’s health, self-pleasuring serves her well by:
— Building her resistance to yeast infections.
— Combating pre-menstrual tension and other physical conditions associated with their menstrual cycles, like cramps.
— Relieving painful menstruation by increasing blood flow to the pelvic region. This will also reduce pelvic cramping and related backaches. — Relieving chronic back pain and increasing her threshold for pain.
Health Benefits for Both Sexes
Masturbation rewards both men and women because it’s:
— The safest kind of sex, keeping you free of sexually transmitted infections.
— A great form of stress relief.
— A mood booster in releasing endorphins.
— A natural sleep sedative.
— A mechanism for building stronger pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to better sex.
— A natural energetic pick-me-up.
As Sigmund Freud once remarked at the Vienna Psycho-Analytical Society, “the subject of masturbation is quite inexhaustible.” While he wasn’t getting at the benefits (Freud saw self-pleasuring as harmful to the genitals and one’s psychosexual and moral development), the same can be said in how it can improve one’s sexual relationship.
For couples who masturbate on occasion or regularly, sex with yourself can:
— Be empowering, especially by helping you to feel better about your body, genitals and sexual response.
— Deliver some of your most intense orgasms ever, which you’ll now know how to recreate with that special someone!
— Increase your sexual awareness, giving you the opportunity to discover what turns you on – the sensations and movements that work best to give you the greatest of sexual gratification.
— Have the potential to enhance your sex life in general, boosting your sexual confidence and turning you into a better lover.
— Get you or your partner off the hook if neither is available or not in the mood.

We heard the rumors and now we can report that, yes, it is true. May IS actually National Masturbation Month. So polish up your skills and get to observing this very special month however you feel is appropriate. In the meantime, here’s an article about it published on May, 5 of last year at the San Francisco Examiner website. It’s written by Health Editor, Jefferson Adams…
In case you were wondering, May is National Masturbation Month. The celebration of May as National Masturbation Month began in 1995 in San Francisco as a response to the forced resignation of then U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders.
After a speech at the United Nations World AIDS Day in 1994, an audience member asked Elders about masturbation’s potential for discouraging early sexual activity. She answered,“I think it is something that is part of human sexuality and a part of something that perhaps should be taught.”
That was the end of Elders’ career as America’s first black Surgeon General, but the spark for National Masturbation Month. Offended by Elders’ ouster, the ever progressive, pro-sex staff of San Francisco’s sex toy and education company Good Vibrations decided to find a way to keep the focus on Elders’ unjust firing, and to bring talk about masturbation into the mainstream in just the way Elders had envisioned.
Realizing that large number of folks lacked support and advice to help them enjoy the simple, basic act of masturbation, Good Vibrations sought to provide support, advice, and reassurance for people looking to open their own personal sexual horizons.
And so was born National Masturbation Month. Among the first steps Good Vibrations took was to promote masturbation as healthy, safe and natural way to express one’s sexuality, thereby removing much of the shame and stigma have so long colored the act masturbation.
So, is it true, as so many believe that masturbation is so commonplace, natural, pleasurable and healthy that “ninety-eight percent of us masturbate, and the other two percent are liars?” If so, why do we need an entire month to educate people on something they’re already enjoying?
The answer is twofold: First, to help those already enjoying themselves to delve further. Second, and most importantly, it looks like plenty of people might still benefit from some encouragement and education.
A recent cross sample study of American adults asked the question: “On average, over the past 12 months, how often did you masturbate?” Only 38 percent of women said they’d masturbated at all during the past year, while 61 percent of men had done so.
The data shows that young women seem to warm up to masturbation more slowly. The study showed women from 20- to 39-years old were the most enthusiastic masturbators, with women 18 to 20, and those over 40 masturbating less. The study is the subject of an excellent article by Journalist Michael Castleman in Psychology Today.
Earlier studies have shown that rates of masturbation are higher for both men and women with higher education, more frequent sexual thoughts, sexual experimentation before puberty, and more lifetime sexual partners. Moreover, masturbation has documented physical benefits for both men and women, to say nothing of likely emotional and psychological benefits.
Health Benefits for Men
A 2007 article in Sexual and Relationship Therapy notes that masturbation may help men improve immune system function, build resistance to prostate gland infection, promote overall prostate health. Moreover, Australian researchers have shown that frequent masturbation may lower a man’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
A survey of men found the more frequently a man masturbates between the ages of 20 and 50, the less likely they are to get prostate cancer. In fact, those who masturbated more than five times a week were one-third less likely to develop prostate cancer.
These findings were the subject of a 2003 Doonesbury panel by Pulitzer Prize-winning Garry Trudeau. In the panel, one character alludes to masturbation as “self-dating.” Nearly half of the 700 papers which normally syndicate Doonesbury did not to run that strip, proving that public discussion of masturbation is still a thorny issue for some, and perhaps attesting to the need for an observance like National Masturbation Month.
Health Benefits for Women
Women who masturbate regularly increase their resistance to yeast infections. Masturbation helps women release pre-menstrual tension and other physical discomfort associated with menstrual cycles, like cramps. Masturbation increases blood flow to the pelvic region, which helps to reduce pelvic cramping and related backaches. Masturbation can also help to alleviate chronic back pain and increase a woman’s overall pain threshold.
Health Benefits for Both Men and Women
For both men and women, masturbation is the safest sex possible, with no possibility of sexually transmitted disease, or of unwanted pregnancy. It’s a great way to relieve stress, and release a nice flood of mood boosting endorphins. Masturbation is both a natural energizer, and a good way to help you sleep better, depending on the time of day. Lastly, masturbation helps to build stronger pelvic floor muscles, which can improve sexual performance and enjoyment. The benefits of masturbation for men and women is the subject of an excellent article for Fox News by Dr. Yvonne Kristín Fulbright.

In my opinion (and of course I could be wrong), I think trying to give yourself a blowjob is something pretty much every guy attempts at least once in their lives. It seems to be one of those things that just makes sense to try. Few of us, however, actually succeed. Autofellatio, or being able to suck yourself is pretty rare. Sex researchers Craig Bartle and Alfred Charles Kinseyr eported that
1. CROWN SKINLESS SKIN CONDOMS (1OTH YEAR IN A ROW). Are these the best condoms ever? Year after year, our customers constantly rate them at the head of the class. In terms of sensitivity, reliability and comfort the Crown Skinless Skin is unmatched…famous for being ridiculously thin yet super strong. They are manufactured in Japan by Okamoto. Bottom Line: It feels like you have nothing on.
3. BEYOND SEVEN CONDOMS (6 TIME WINNER). Made in Japan, these condoms are a tad narrower then your average condom and fit just like a glove. Beyond seven are made out of a latex called Sheerlon that is made thinner without compromising strength. A Reviewer in Storrs, CT said- “I recommend these to everybody! A Phenomenal Condom. I never thought they could make such a difference, it feels like nothing is there.”
4. LIFESTYLES X2 CONDOMS (1ST TIME WINNER). Excite Enhancement Gel is on both sides of the latex, which may add blood flow to both partner’s private parts. The gel itself contains L-Arginine, which is a natural supplement that enhances sensation. L-Arginine is sometimes used to treat erectile dysfunction due to its promotion of nitric oxide, which helps supply blood to the penis. It’s also used to treat female sexual dysfunction. More blood flow equals more pleasure for both partners! What a GREAT concept!
5. IMPULSE BARE PLEASURE CONDOMS (3 TIME WINNER). Many of our customers rave about this newer condom. Although it’s average in size, the Bare Pleasure backs a heck of a punch with its studded and ribbed texture. This adds a great dimension to your partner’s overall satisfaction. Top that off with a low latex odor and you have a winner!
In honor of “May Is National Masturbation Month”, we’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of movies that contain memorable masturbation scenes. Sex scenes abound in movies, but not often of the solo sort. (And we’re talking about regular ol’ movies, not porn.) So in case you’d ever like to have your own home movie marathon (or want to be sure which ones to avoid when watching with the parents) here are some selections you can check out.
Risky Business (1983) – A frustrated Tom Cruise can’t seem to stop his hand from travelling south. It appears he decides to quit however, and look at all the trouble he got into. Lesson learned!
Pleasantville (1998) — Often described as a “beautiful” masturbation scene. Check it out and see for yourself.
Yet, according to Martha Cornog, of “The Big Book of Masturbation”, self-pleasuring is surely the second most common human sex act. And, despite its torrid history, that’s proving to be a good thing. Turns out this once taboo behavior has plenty of health benefits and can do wonders for your sex life. While the shackles of masturbation have been loosening around our loins, it is only recently that society has started to let go of its guilt around solo sex. This is in part thanks to sex researchers affirming that most of us do it, as well as the embracing of it by television sitcoms. Who can forget the bet made by Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer as to who could remain the “master of their domain” the longest?
