This is what I get for reading my friend of list...

The amount of misinformation contained here is scary.

It is perfectly natural to not masturbate. Some people just don't. And, of course, it's perfectly natural to masturbate, and to want to - it will not make you go blind, grow hair, or get pimples. I'm a bit wary of searching for a link to prove that a lack of masturbation isn't connected to a frequency of wet dreams (don't want to find nothing but porn!) but I'm 93% confident that I am correct in that statement.

Nobody *has* to masturbate. You won't die if you don't. It's just that most people prefer to than to not.

I do wish that you girls would stop trying to speak of something you know nothing about.

Just because we don't experience ejaculation doesn't mean we know "nothing" about it. As Conuly said, some of us actually read about it, whether official studies or simply personal accounts. And some of us have been in relationships for good lengths of time--I think that sleeping with a guy for years allows me some insight into how it all works.

As I understand it, based on a scientific study I read (and my own experience), it's true for some men that when they deny themselves for a long period of time and then give in, the ejaculate tends to be greater in volume. However, that is not due to a buildup of material, as Conuly has said; it's true for women, too, that we'll often spasm harder after prolonged periods of abstinence. And when abstaining, sexual dreams (feminine wet dreams) are more common, too.

So now, perhaps, you can speak for girls, at least in a general way. Such is the wonder of communication and research.
