This type of masturbation can be very erotic and exciting for some, as you are getting stimulated visually by watching the other persons actions, and being stimulated by sound, as you can hear the person’s sounds of excitement – their pants, and moans… hmmm.. yeahhhh.. it can be very interesting indeed.

I find that a lot of men love to watch a woman please her own body. For some, it’s a sign of a confidant woman, one who knows her body, how to please it sexually and can share that with someone is an incredible turn on. In the same breath, there are women who also enjoy watching a man stroke himself to orgasm. Watching the cum explode and spurt from the head of his manhood can be a very sexy and hot as hell experience for them to watch. In both cases, watching a member of the opposite sex (of for some even the same sex) bring themselves to orgasm will often boost their own excitement, bringing them over the edge themselves to reach their own very very happy place!

Mutual masturbation is a form of play without the worry. There is no fear of contracting an sexually transmitted disease, no fear of an unwanted pregnancy, no fear of not measuring up and being able to please your partner. You are your own partner. You can take this one step further, and raise the argument that mutual masturbation is not a form of cheating as there are no touching involved with the other individual. You are simply both in the same room with one another, and just happen to be watching them masturbate while you do the same. Some could even say this is no different than watching porn and getting yourself off. Some will agree. Others won’t. It’s the nature of the beast.

Whatever way you slice it, mutual masturbation can be a lot more fun that simply doing it yourself. It gives you additional stimulators, which can add to your own excitement. If you have never experienced mutual masturbation, perhaps it’s something you’d like to experiment with, with your partner. If you don’t have a partner (or a special friend), there are methods as well.

Mutual masturbation is exactly what you do when it comes to cyber sex. Introduce a web cam where you can see each other, and perhaps even a mic, and there you have it. You can see and hear each other, but there will be no touching what so ever. The perfect plan if physical contact sex is not on your agenda!

For a lot of people, the masturbation aid of choice is porn, either still-shots (photos), or video. Porn offers something for everyone, no matter what your personal sexy niche might be – amateur, group sex, swingers, anal – you name it, you can find it in the porn industry, which makes it a perfect choice when you want get in the mood to make love to yourself!

But how much is too much masturbation? Is there really such a thing as too much? The answer is a simple one. Yes.

Enjoying the reaction of your body being excited, and turned on is great, don’t get me wrong. It’s a wonderful feeling when your entire body begins to get so turned on you ache. You muscles tighten, you feel yourself begin to go rock hard (or dripping wet!) and the urge to touch yourself is so intense, you just can’t help it! In most circumstances, this is completely normal and should be encouraged and even celebrated – and most of us do fall into the “normal circumstances’ category.

There are times however when masturbation can begin to pose a problem, and can become too much too often. If you masturbate at every opportunity, than this is not normal. I’m not talking about those times, when your sex drive is up, you get horny and you have to get off. We all go through those times. What I’m speaking about is those who make the choice to masturbate whenever and wherever they can, and even going a step further to say they don’t have a choice in the matter – they have to. If this is the case, there might be an underlining problem that should be addressed with a professional.

Another instance in my opinion where masturbation can become a problem is when you begin to choose masturbation over interaction with a partner. If you’d prefer to watch porn and get yourself off, than interact sexually with another person then there is an underlining problem that needs to be addressed as soon as possible. If masturbation has begun to interfere with your day-to-day life, when things are planned around masturbation times – then things are not as they should be sexually.

Masturbation is a wonderful thing – especially for those out there who are single. We all have urges that need to be taken care of. It’s natural and normal. But when masturbation has taken over your life and relationships, than it’s time to look inside and acknowledge a problem and work on finding a solution.
