May is National Masturbation Month, and we're celebrating with Feeling Yourself , a series exploring the finer points of self-pleasure. Although he isn't romantically or sexually attracted to cis men, B says his fascination to "strictly penises" began when he started watching porn in high school. To maintain anonymity, he asked to only be referred to as one of his initials. After messaging each other for about a week, they met up at the other man's empty apartment. B was so nervous, it took him "a little while" to be comfortable enough to even get an erection.

Many of us masturbate. When I first bought my beloved Doxy mains-powered wand vibrator which rumbles with more strength than the belly of a dragon on hunger strike — I used it so much that I bruised my cooze. While travelling with friends in South East Asia, I pretended to have food poisoning just so I could spend an uninterrupted half-hour self-pleasuring in the hotel bathroom. You might stroke and caress each other as well, but the main aim of the game is to get yourself off, yourself.
Why you really need to try mutual masturbation with a partner
At a certain point, they reached a part of the cave that was pitch-black. They never spoke of it again. Brandon self-identifies as straight. He had never masturbated in front of another man, let alone a group of other men, before in his life. Yet he says in retrospect, the weirdest thing about the incident was how not-weird it seemed at the time.
Building on previous research, TENGA developed the world's largest survey on masturbation, compiling data from more than 13, respondents age across 18 countries. Timed to celebrate and recognize Masturbation Month starting May 1 , data reveals men across the globe — 41 percent in America — feel pressured to act "manly" based on outdated assumptions about masculinity. The survey, which asked Americans to evaluate which characteristics they believe men in their country value, found approximately 90 percent of Americans think men value traditionally "manly traits" like physical strength, aggression, assertiveness and being the main breadwinner. However, when asking men what they actually value, the results found that men are more comfortable talking about their feelings and connecting with others, and less comfortable being aggressive, than Americans realize. Stereotypes about what men value create misconceptions about sexuality and masturbation.
