ok so heres the deal,,my character is having fun with herself..that''s all good, but what if she can't go to sleep with out masturbation...surely this would be more an addiction then a basic pleasure...do you feel you are addicted or could become addicted to the art of self pleasure

OK...I'll take a stab at this one. Please understand that I have NO credentials certifying my answers, so what follows is purely my opinion and is NOT meant to be taken in any hurtful way.

I notice your age in your (too) short profile and wonder if there is some sort of hormonal thing going on within your body that is creating the urge for masturbation...ie...heightened libido. I am also assuming that when you talk of not going to sleep with out masturbation...you really are saying without ORGASM (self induced through masturbation). An orgasm does tend to relax the body...and in turn...let sleep prevail. I know at onetime in my life (when I was about your age) that was a sure way for me to get some sleep...even if I felt overly tired (TOO tired to sleep..??). My guess is that you are having physical changes in your body that are having an effect on your mind and making you seem to be addictive to masturbation/orgasm.

You call it "the art of self pleasure"...and I really like that phrase. It leads me to believe you enjoy the slow, gentle touch of lovemaking rather than just a hard "F*CKING". In my opinion, ones masturbation habits/techniques would mimic as close as possible one's best/most desired things about lovemaking.

Again..This is just my humble opinion.

I like your use of the term "the art of self pleasure". When masturbation is approached as an art it is indeed a game changer. I am divorced and I enjoy living alone after 30 plus years of marriage. I am discovering the true joys of the afore mentioned "art". The biggest challenge is fighting off my inhibitions and attitudes about masturbation. I have recently decided to try pretty much anything in masturbation that sounds like it might feel good. So far I have found things that I liked and things that I didn't but at least I tried them. In the past I would have just said to myself that's gross, or that sounds perverted, or that's just wrong. I'm trying to get over those attitudes and forging on to find out who I really am sexually. In all honesty it has been fun, exciting, scary, guilt inducing, and thrilling all at the same time. Could it become addictive? Probably. Am I addicted to it? No, at least not yet. Wish me luck.

I'm speaking out of my own experience as well; if you want, you can look through KinseyConfidential.org and see if they have an article on this subject.

As I understand it, a person can become addicted to masturbation and/or sex. But a person goes past that line when the addictive substance/actions (masturbation, in this case) start interfering with his/her life. i.e. the person cannot go without sexual release at work, during family gatherings, etc.

Masturbation or self pleasure can become addictive to many but if your character is having sex also then her need would be much less in my opinion.

I had always thought that this was something only affecting teenage boys but as I get older I am finding that it also affects mature women just as much
I have a female friend who is single and just a couple of years older than you who finds it very difficult to walk past her computer without having a quick look at porn, a quick look almost always leads to a long look and her fingers get diddling. She finds it equally difficult to get out of bed in the morning or get into bed in the evening without a quick play with her Hitachi wand (or is that 'magic wand')
She has me as a fuck buddy and uses my finger, tongue and cock as a vibrator substitute, not that I am complaining and is (almost) insatiable.
I know that she is frustrated with herself for the amount that she wanks (self-pleasure is such a nicer way of putting it) and she tries to 'diet' from it from time to time but the habits quickly return. So, yes it is definitely possible to become addicted to self-pleasure and porn and like all addictions very difficult to break the cycle

It might be a compulsion or a habit, but I wouldn't label it an addiction.

I agree, there can be a fine line between addiction and just doing it a lot.... and that line tends to be when you can't NOT do it at work, family gatherings, or other times that is just is not acceptable. I would classify myself as borderline at this point. But it does not interfere with my life, and isn't really a problem.

I do not know if my masturbation level is normal, excessive or addictive. but I have masturbated most days since I was an early teens.

Whatever is the acceptable level, I most like exceed that. But is anyone harmed by this very personal pleasure?

I definitely masturbate a lot, but also definitely don't think it's harmful.

I would like to respond to this one....I am probably addicted to masturbation but I really enjoy sexual pleasure with a woman as well. I have done this since my early teenage years and love to do it. What is a really special pleasure for me is if I know a woman is doing it...... that is the most arousing thing for me and I would love to participate, either here or in a real life, physical setting.

I love masturbating alone and/or with my man and it is pretty much a daily activity for me BUT I also have complete control of it which can't be said if it's a true addiction.
