Last month I attended the Gay Men’s Sexual Health Summit, and I thought to myself: it is time to reclaim my penis!
Nobody does it better than ourselves! Well, almost nobody. Who else knows exactly what makes you shiver? The art of masturbation; pleasuring yourself the old-fashioned way. I mean, what guy doesn’t do it? The question is: how often? And do you feel guilty afterward? Do you like an audience, either in the room across the hall, the stall next to you or through an open window? Does the sight of another man jerking his cock get you excited?
I think of times gone by and recall the quick toss-offs to avoid getting caught or to relieve tension, the long, slow edging sessions to produce the most pleasure, the fantasies fulfilled just by closing my eyes and recalling that afternoon in the gym changing room, or the wrestling match that held a bit more eroticism than is customary. Or the feel of a tight-skinned scrotum after swimming for an afternoon at the beach. Where have those days gone?
Do things have to change? Does being in a relationship mean you shouldn’t be jerking off anymore? Does your boyfriend/hubby/partner get upset that you would occasionally prefer to just pleasure yourself? Let’s be honest, a good hand job can be as wonderful as any other form of orgasm. I say it is time to reclaim the art of masturbation. Recall what makes you feel good. And guess what? You are old enough to play with different kinds of toys. Practice makes for a hell of a good time. Maybe even put on a show for that special someone. Seduce your man with a sensual display of auto-eroticism, and watch as he begins to copy your moves.
Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, the blog. So why not share some of your auto-eroticism “successes” with us. You know, you just may enjoy it!
