NuevaVida -> Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 7:31:26 PM)

OK my mind is having fun running with thoughts from another thread in General Discussions.  So here's some questions to throw out there, to see what people think:

1.  Is sex with your partner (or past partner, or hypothetical partner) meaningful to you?

2.  Do you consider masturbation to be a sexual act?

3.  Do you masturbate in front of your partner?  And, if so, do you consider it to be sexual?  Is it meaningful when you do?

4.  Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Do you consider this sexual? Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person? 

5.  Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others?  Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched?

6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?

Edited to number the questions - great idea, DeviantlyD [:)]

Even though you didn't number them. ;)

1.) It would be, if I had a partner. Living large in the celibate lifestyle right now. :D

2.) A sexual act? Hmmm...yeah, sexual.

3.) Well, considering 1.) I would say that I would only masturbate in front of my partner if he wanted me to do so. Otherwise, I'm not motivated to do so. Again, yeah, sexual and meaningful? Not to me, possibly only meaningful in the sense of doing it for him.

4.) I would...if I had a partner. Yes. Probably...I have to theorize on the answer.

5.) If I had a partner, I wouldn't. Can't answer the second part of this, since the first part doesn't apply.

6.) Nope. Whatever floats your boat, it's all good if that's what you're into.



littlekitten1 -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 7:44:56 PM)

Well... I see it as this :)

There is mental sex, and then there's physical sex.

Physical sex is the exchange of physical pleasure like fucking, or oral and stuff... Tangible things.

Mental sex is when there is an exchange of mental pleasures beyond the primal, instinct-based physical aspect.

So... When my dom decides to do a humiliation session, or even a pain session... It's like... Physical mingled with mental sex. Even if there wasto be no physical involvement, i'd still consider it sex because we both get sexual pleasure from it, and I feel like there is a form of exchange.


I guess by that definition, mutual masturbation could be regarded as sex too, if it feels important enough, and there's enough sexual/mental exchange to deem it a full session.


I dunno... am I making any sense? ._.



NuevaVida -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 7:48:39 PM)

DeviantlyD - thanks for the replies (and the numbering comment!)

littlekitten - Interesting point - mental versus physical.  What camp would you say masturbating falls in?  One or the other?  Both?  Is mental  stimulation as meaningful (if it's meaningful at all) as physical to you?



DeviantlyD -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 7:54:09 PM)

I'm not littlekitten, but I'm going to answer your question to her anyhow. :D I can't see masturbation falling into exclusively one category or the other. I think it's largely mental, but there is definitely a physical aspect in achieving an orgasm. If a person doesn't achieve an orgasm...well, that's a more complicated issue. ;)



Tantriqu -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 8:04:53 PM)

1. Is sex with your partner (or past partner, or hypothetical partner) meaningful to you?

Absofuckinglutely
2. Do you consider masturbation to be a sexual act?
Uhhh, YES!
3. Do you masturbate in front of your partner? And, if so, do you consider it to be sexual? Is it meaningful when you do?
Only if he's bound ;-) Uhh, Yes. Yes, it's punishment when he can't contribute to my orgasms. Conversely, since I believe in orgasm control, he's not allowed to masturbate, and can orgasm only when I decree.
4. Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Do you consider this sexual? Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person?
Only if one of us is travelling. Uh, YES! Different meaning altogether, since it's literally release and relief, and a way to participate in sex together thousands of kilometers away.
5. Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others? Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched?
No, I'm only interested in a monogamous relationship. No, that's cheating.
6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?

1.  Is sex with your partner (or past partner, or hypothetical partner) meaningful to you?

But of course! Very important with each partner.

2.  Do you consider masturbation to be a sexual act?

Very, very much so.
quote:

3.  Do you masturbate in front of your partner?  And, if so, do you consider it to be sexual?  Is it meaningful when you do?

I don't ever masturbate unless He allows it. Sometimes He has me do it for Him. I consider it very sexual and it means alot when He allows me/requires me to do it for Him.
quote:

4.  Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Do you consider this sexual? Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person? 

When we lived 800 miles apart, I did it over the webcam at least a couple times a week and sometimes just over the phone. Very sexual and very hot. Of course, I'd rather be in the same room and touch and be touched but there were some very hot times. Hope it's not TMI to say that the first time I ever squirted, it was on webcam following his instructions, masturbating.
quote:

5.  Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others?  Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched?

Oh my yes!!!! No, I really wouldn't consider it masturbation if I wasn't physically touching myself. Again, hopefully not TMI, but one of my favorite fantasies is watching him with another woman and having to watch but not be allowed (at first...lol) to participate or masturbate. Yep, I'd love to be a cuckold (if that's the proper term for women).

6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?

Just that it's a very fun and hot thing and I support it wholeheartedly[:)]

1.  Is sex with your partner (or past partner, or hypothetical partner) meaningful to you?

i would hope so.

2.  Do you consider masturbation to be a sexual act?

Yes.

3.  Do you masturbate in front of your partner?  And, if so, do you consider it to be sexual?  Is it meaningful when you do?

Yes, when i'm asked to. Yes. What do you mean by "meaningful"?

4.  Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Do you consider this sexual? Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person? 

Not unless i'm told to. Yes. It has no meaning to me except the fact that i'm complying with an order.

5.  Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others?  Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched?

i've never watched any of my partners have sex with others. i would consider that voyeurism not mastrubation.

6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?

No.

4.  Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Nopey! Do you consider this sexual? I guess it could be. Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person?  I'm not sure if it would or not.

5.  Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others? Haven't ever seen it but very doubtful that I would like it at all.  Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched? N/A

6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?
Whatever works for the different relationships, I think is great...for them.

NuevaVida -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 8:30:49 PM)

Hey thanks for the answers coming in. I'm truly finding them interesting!

DeviantlyD - I'm glad you answered, even though you're not littlekitten. Interesting conundrum, masturbating without orgasm and whether that's still considered physical.  No right or wrong answers here, just interesting thoughts to ponder.

Tantriqu - Interesting perspective to #4, in that even though you're not in each others presence, you're participating in a sexual act together.  Thank you for sharing that. 

Luci - To ease your mind about TMI, the first time I squirted was years and years ago, masturbating over the phone. And I had NO idea what the hell had just happened LOL.  As for female cuckholding, I admit it's a fantasy of mine but I'm still a little afraid of it, to a degree.

Pam - What I mean by "meaningful" is, does it have any meaning to you beyond just a physical getting off and then going on your way?  Does it affect your bond with your partner?  Is there intimacy in feelings happening?  (If it's too personal, no worries, I'm just asking as the questions come to mind).

One more question to toss in the ring, just because - For those who can or have achieved orgasm without touching, simply by his words, or a thought of him, or anything else, would that fall into the masturbation category for you?  Is it meaningful to you when that happens?

Answer to questions 1 - 3: Yes

Question 4.. No to part one, so the rest is moot. What a waste of cell phone minutes when he's only two feet from me and when he's away or out of the country, we tend to Skype and not use the phone.. unless you count that as the phone. Crap.. now I'm confused. Can I change my answer? lol

Question 5: No, I don't actually get off.. but I get as horny as hell and do hope that I'm next in line! I have no issues with sloppy seconds cuz I'm all into sharing thataway. I don't think I would put that into the masturbation category though.. voyeurism seems the better term.

Question 6: Just one more thing to have fun with in a variety of scenarios including but not limited to kidnapping, humiliation, objectification, role-play etc. I am so much more about expanding our horizons than limiting them so we often incorporate a variety of things into our scenes including masterbation on both sides of the kneel.

(I would only answer this question for you!)

I'll answer just a part of this question, but when I was a virginal lad of 12, even the notion of sex, with a hypothetical partner, was pretty darned meaningful to me. [:)]

1. Is sex with your partner (or past partner, or hypothetical partner) meaningful to you?

Yes, absolutely.
Agreed.

quote:

2. Do you consider masturbation to be a sexual act?

Yes, once again, absolutely.
Same, agreed, its solo-sex.

quote:

3. Do you masturbate in front of your partner? And, if so, do you consider it to be sexual? Is it meaningful when you do?

Yes, yes, yes.
I haven't, I'm shy to, but I would consider it sexual and yes, I think it would be meaningful.

quote:

4. Do you masturbate over the phone with your partner? Do you consider this sexual? Does this have any less meaning than masturbating in person?

Yes, yes, usually, but it doesn't have to.
Yes, and yes, and I can't say, I haven't masturbated with a partner.

quote:

5. Do you get off watching your partner have sex with others? Would you consider that masturbation, since you are not actually being touched?

Yes I do. It would be masturbation if I touched myself to get off, but just getting turned on watching wouldn't be.
I like to see that too, and I'm not sure, I think Suze is right, if you just get turned on I would call it foreplay.

quote:

6. Any other thoughts on couples (or relationship groups) masturbating within the relationship?

I love it. I'm all for it, couples should do it often, together, alone, on the phone, or just day dreaming. masturbation is good for you. Why do you think the Church frowns on it.
It can be hot, it can be useful when you aren't together, or when your partner isn't in the mood.

I'm thinking that a horny 12 year old boy's definition of "meaningful" is quite different than my own. :D

It just happened for me for the first time last week. It was hearing her speak over the phone (a totally non-sexual conversation) and she had no idea it happened. I have no idea if it is masturbation or what it is, but it is a really frightening development that has me very confused and excited. I keep looking for excuses to phone her.



DeviantlyD -> RE: Is masturbation still sex, and other random questions... (7/30/2011 9:22:36 PM)

I rather liked Tantriqu's responses. Some of her answers better articulated my thoughts on it all.

Thanks! :) Although, even without an orgasm, I still see it as having a physical component since there is obviously physical stimulation going on - unless a person is masturbating purely by thought alone. Apparently achievable, although I've never done it myself. ;)

LOL yeah Skype counts as phone so you can change your answer.  [8D]  Cuz that would be pretty funny if you guys were phone sexin while in the same room.  But hey, if it makes ya happy, why not?!

i don't like sex. The only reason i ever do it is to please the other person (whether it's BDSM, or not). But, yes, of course it's meaningful. Everything that happens between two people in a relationship is meaningful.

Sorry, to me it seems like a dumb question. Unless i am jerking off to porn, it is meaningful. If there is another human being involved, it is meaningful. How on earth could it not be?
