Doctors can be good at giving things names and letting us stop worrying about them! Recommend you give it a try, even though as you say you do get checked annually.
Guys, can you think of anything else which you can come up with here?View Thread

And thanks for appreciating my reply above. The ideas there are things I strongly believe and have brought me a lot of peace and happiness and am glad if they've been any help!View Thread

Gotta be careful -- at the least you might get yourself into an embarrassing situation and it could be even worse!View Thread


Football uses more of the entire body and is played in groups. A baseball player when at bat is the only offense player up and is against 9 defense players (a more realistic comparison with real life, don't you think?) And do you suppose that if a player shakes up his cup just before swinging his bat he is somehow then transferring power from his mightly penis to his mighty bat, something somewhat similar in shape? That's such a whacky idea there might be something to it. What do you think, guys?View Thread

And Doogood -- I agree with you that the 'good old strumming' which you described really is masturbation and that one doesn't have to go all the way to ejaculation to make it so. But there probably is a point where a conscious choice is made to move from 'strumming' to 'stroking.' And stroking can be pleasurable in itself without it being semen productive. It's a rare morning that I wake up without myself saluting the new day, and giving a hard cock some friendly strokes and tugs is a good way to assure oneself that at least some parts of the new day will be good! It appreciates the attention and at this point doesn't always demand a full show.View Thread

But lately it's been like going into a bar where nobody's there, and that's kind of dull. So, come on guys, let's see what we can come up with and post something. And no, I don't know of any other sites where the guys might have gone.
I'll start the ball rolling by bringing up the subject of absent-minded masturbation. The other day I was sitting in a stall thinking over a problem, looked down and saw my hand was pumping a semi-hard cock. Well, I thought, this is nice -- but do I just stop and go back to work or see this through and have some unplanned relaxation. It can go either way and has sometimes. This time I decided to complete the process to ejaculation -- and hey, I can feel myself stiffening up as I remember the incident and tell you about it. And reading this maybe you're joining me, too, in discovering that your undershorts suddenly don't seem to have enough room in them any more. (Your decision what to do).
Something else I was wondering when all this happened the other day -- when does rubbing or pulling one's penis stop being just rubbing and pulling and becomes masturbation? Do you have to ejaculate in order for a session to be called masturbation? In which case you could never say "I am masturbating" but could only say "I masturbated" (or, "I will masturbate"). If it has to be completed to be 'official' then you couldn't use the present tense. This line of thinking is rather stupid but I did and do find it somewhat entertaining. Just what is masturbation, anyway? Like we don't know . . .
And relating to the original subject of absent-minded masturbation: I can remember some years back while watching TV with my wife she looked at me, laughed and asked me if I was having a good time? I suddenly realized that under my bathrobe I'd been pulling on my penis -- it wasn't hard and my mind had been on the show but sometimes that happens, just like wiggling your leg or something like that -- and I felt something like I had been 'caught' at something. I pulled my hand out and looked surprised. She then told me that I should keep on if I liked and it felt good, just that she thought it was funny. Since I had not been consciously beating off in the first place it was kind of hard to go back to what I was doing but I did find it cool that she was fully comfortable with my doing it. In fact there wasn't anything I might do by myself which I couldn't do with her around as well. I really appreciated that!
OK, it's your turn -- you've read this, now you tell us something interesting.View Thread

There's something powerful and enjoyable about considering that we are able to share arousal, pass it along and celebrate our common and shared masculinity together. That's one of the great spirits of these boards and I do appreciate sharing with you all.View Thread


Your idea of mirroring someone else's behavior is interesting and it can be something that a lot of us do sometimes without realizing it. Even if we're carefully constructing our speech we may not be fully mindful of all of our body actions.
I do know that sometimes when I have been having a conversation with someone who has a partcular accent (either regional or foreign) I may start talking with some elements of that accent myself without realizing it. Since language is really a form of behavior it's easy to see how hand movement could also unconsciously mimic another person's.
Apparently you've encountered this thing of another guy rubbing his abs and pecs both with and without clothes, probably in a gym-like situation. And if you're both nude, the other guy is rubbing his pec and his nip gets hard it's only reasonable that your dick would begin to thicken. For even if your conversation isn't sexual that type of body rubbing can well be. But what's the issue with labelling -- you're relaxing and when relaxing our sexual sides are more liable to come out.
While relaxing in the steam room after a hard workout I've been known to massage various muscle groups to help them relax. And sometimes I'll also pull on my dick a time or two. And the guy across from me may do the same. And we both may wind up having a pleasant bit of relaxation and release -- no contact, but no need to hide. We're really very much the same and sometimes that type of relaxation just comes along as a welcome part of the day. Acknowledging that through shared experience can be nice.
All I'm suggesting, SeattleRon, is that you relax and enjoy your sexuality -- don't be afraid of it if it comes along unexpectedly. Get to know it better. On the other hand, don't let yourself feel directed or pressured by someone else's actions.View Thread
