Is Masturbation **REAL** Sex?

  • I'm a guy -- only if there's no alternative.
  • I'm a female -- only if there's no alternative.
  • I'm a guy -- I don't think so.
  • I'm a female -- no way!
  • Other, please explain ....

Thanks. In that case, masturbation definitely IS real sex, and definitely is NOT just for those who can't find a partner. There are times when you really need to scratch that itch that no one else can get at just right.

That's very similar reasoning to why my answer (which seems to be a minority opinion) was 'yes' to your question, Misty. The orgasm feels the same whether an event is solo or partnered, it takes just as long to recover from a solo orgasm as it does from a partnered one, and the benefits to prostate health are the same from a solo orgasm as from a partnered one.

I don't agree with the statement it's only for people who can't find a partner, whoever said that has their head in the wrong place.

See -- that's why I asked the question, LOL. Every time I think about the question, it seems I end up in a different direction with my thinking.

I don't think of masturbation as being equal to kissing or oral sex because for either of those, you need a partner -- yet on the other hand, I do think of it as a sex act.

There are also things that each (solo sex or partnered sex) can provide that the other can't. Thus, I remain undecided.

I voted I'm female and I think it is sex.


While I have partnered sex, I also enjoy a wide variety of solo encounters.

"To me, saying that sex without a partner isn't real sex is like telling me fat free ice cream isn't real ice cream."



Very good point, Mrs P!


Your afternoon sounds very real.

I'm with Steve, MrsPe and the article.


An orgasm is an orgasm is an orgasm.

Hi misty


good question.....interesting one at that


I voted only if theres no alternitive......i chose this because.....theres all kinds of ways to masturbate alone or with a lover.....not to mention the fact that real sex and in masturbation u climax in both......the urge is over the feeling is amazing.......nothing truly compares to real sex....thank god for the option to masturbate! I'd loose my mind if i couldn't!!! at least thats the way i feel
