Another way to view "masturbating in unlikely places" concerns how near or far from other people one is. Masturbating in an empty classroom while people pass by in a hallway outside is one thing, and it's quite another to get off while class is in session with people sitting nearby. Stroking at a public urinal in an empty restroom can be exciting because someone could enter and see at any time. It's quite another thing to masturbates at a public urinal while someone else stands there watching. One dimension is the degree of risk of discovery that seems to add to the intensity of the experience. Yet another dimension concerns how the person feels about the location. An 11-year-old may get quite a thrill from masturbating on a family member's bed, while that same experience might be old-hat to his 17-year-old brother, who masturbates under his coat as he rides a subway or watches a movie.]
Most unlikely would probably be the lighting and sound booth at my high school. I was the drama department's lighting geek, and there was a totally cute guy in the cast of the play, which required everyone to wear tights. Watching the dress rehearsal, I couldn't help myself – I whipped it out and stroked it to a fabulous orgasm on the spot. I went back there a few years ago and discovered that no one ever cleans that booth – the dried semen is still on the wall. (Or perhaps, that booth isn't as unlikely a place for masturbation as I thought!)

This Week's Wackiest Response:
In a movie theater; no, wait – that was Pee Wee. Hmmmm...Did anyone ever claim to have masturbated in the bathroom or bedroom? Oh wait, never mind that one, either. Oh! Now I got it – how about while scuba diving? But I haven't done that. I guess the best I have to offer is in a tree fort. Just don't look up!

A few years back, I masturbated upstairs in a public library. I was at the very back behind some bookshelves, reading some books I had taken out of the sexuality section. It was a nice, private little area. Very few people ever went upstairs, and I was alone, hidden at the far end.

I was in a hotel and I wanted to masturbate, so I walked into the sauna, took off all of my clothes, and started to masturbate.

Wow! So many places – on the side of the Rhine River in Germany when I was in the military. At work – I work construction, so, right in the homes I am remodeling or building! In my car when I was young. On a bridge in France. My parents' bed when I was 14 years old. Many public bathrooms the world over. At my computer, if the wife and kids aren't home.

On public transport – buses and trains. I'm not an exhibitionist, and I'd die if someone saw me – but for some reason, it really excites me as I try to keep quiet while really getting into it. I'd sit at the back of the bus and watch everyone getting on and off, while I myself was "getting off"!

"I had to experience an orgasm
to a live drum solo."
I was in a public square in New York. A guy was playing drum solos there. I love the drums – the high energy of enthusiastic playing and the way you can really feel the drums in your body seems to go with the high energy and intense feelings in my body when I masturbate. They amplify my feelings to the point that they're 10 times as pleasurable as before. I felt I had to experience an orgasm to a live drum solo. I had on a big T-shirt and spring jacket, so I thought that if I kept everything under my shirt and stroked slowly, no one would notice. It was worth it, because doing it in public and to sounds that always give me a strong erection made it one of the most fantastic orgasms ever.

When I was about 13, I was completely horny all the time. I was in a department store and saw a table full of thongs and hot panties. (I have a fetish for that sort of stuff.) I was wearing baggy pants and no one was around, so I masturbated right then and there.

In the office at my last job – in the boss' chair. Everyone else was busy downstairs.

Probably the hot tub of my health club, with people in there with me. The foam hid what I was doing, but another kid who was sitting near me must have had some idea of what I was up to when my breathing became labored – he started looking at me a little strangely. I have also done it standing up in the steam bath there.

In church – I found that by crossing my legs and putting a hymnbook across my lap, I could swing my legs and get a wonderful rubbing sensation against my penis. About the time the sermon was over, I was, too – and felt oh-so-much better for having attended church.

Two years ago, I was on a Ferris wheel at the fair with two of my friends. They dared me to masturbate on the Ferris wheel before the ride ended. And, I did. It was both fun and funny.

I masturbated in my freshman-year Latin class, just after lunchtime. I was quite horny and got an erection. I rearranged things so my penis was pointing down my right leg. Every time I moved my leg up and down as if I was nervous or jumpy, it felt awesome – so I did it slowly at first, and then faster and faster. My underwear was messy, but the orgasm was intense. Since then, I've used that method at the movies, in church, and on an airplane. It really works!

I was getting suspended for masturbating in school. While the principal went to call my mother, I masturbated again in his office. This happened when I was in grade 8.

Once I did it in the dentist's chair through my sweatpants. I finished in plenty of time, but the adrenaline was great at the thought that somebody might walk in. It was incredible.

I don't think there really are any "unlikely" places to masturbate. If you were aroused enough, you could probably masturbate on the top of the Empire State Building! (And if a guy did, and the semen shot off the top, what would happen when it hit the street?) But the weirdest place I've ever masturbated would have to be at a Halloween party. I was "Masturbating Monster," and I masturbated in front of about 50 people with a monster mask on. I am such an exhibitionist!

"Having an orgasm while experiencing nitrogen
narcosis just can't be put into words."
In a hyperbaric chamber, at Brooks Air Force Base, while it was pressurized to a depth of 165 feet of seawater (that's 6 atmospheres absolute, 73.5 PSIG, or 5.3 tons per square foot). Having an orgasm while experiencing nitrogen narcosis ("rapture of the deep") just can't be put into words. Nothing before or after was even close! Scuba enthusiasts will know what I'm talking about.

A roller coaster broke down while I was riding on it, and during the two-hour wait to get off, I masturbated. So did my mate, who was sitting beside me. It had something to do with the two stunning girls who were sitting opposite us. It was quite a turn-on, but it was difficult because the restraints blocked our way a bit!

In the commander's hatch of an M1 tank while it was moving. I was helping to move the tank from one location to another. The turret was locked to the rear, so the driver couldn't possibly see what I was doing. I had a Nomex tanker's uniform on, which provides *way* too much access for frequent masturbators. With the wind rushing through the tank, the sensation was incredible!

In an Internet cafe that was full. I was right at the back, and it was amazing!

I've masturbated under a desk at a computer lab full of people, while looking at porn. (Of course, I was caught.)

I masturbated often in the dressing room of a local department store where I worked. It was hot to shoot my semen on the mirror.

Most people don't believe me, but this is true. A year or so ago, I just happened to be very horny while I was at Disneyland. So I started thinking, what ride would be the easiest to masturbate on? The answer came to me quickly – Pirates of the Caribbean. It moves slowly in the dark. When I got to the ride I asked to sit in the back row by myself, and they obliged. I put my jacket over my lap, whipped out my penis, and squeezed out a quick round onto some tissue before the ride was over. No one noticed. Everyone should try that when they visit the happiest place on earth.

When I was 14, we lived a block away from a junkyard. On warm, sunny days, I would go there and climb into a '76 Chevy station wagon with leather seats. Totally naked, I would masturbate while listening for anybody coming. I experienced many orgasms there and never was seen, until somebody found my old pair of underwear I used as a rag. After that, I never went back.

I masturbated in my tent at summer camp as my friend watched. It was quite likely that someone could have walked in, but that made it even more exciting.

Last summer some friends and I masturbated in the ocean. We went out where the water was up to our chests, took off our swimsuits, and went to it. It was strange. We made sure we stayed away from other people. It was cool feeling the water and just knowing that only the four of us knew what we were up to. It was a little hard getting my Speedo back on, though!

The women's shower room at a Mormon church. I have to wonder why there was a series of doors leading from the men's restroom through various other rooms and back around into the women's restroom, all unlocked – but who should complain?

In the back of my dad's car while he was taking a friend and me home. Did I mention it was mutual masturbation? What an odd, erotic thing it was.

I masturbated once in the cafe at my college. I was sitting at a table full of cute football players, just chatting, and I got turned on. I had my coat just folded on my lap, so I began to rub my clitoris through my jeans underneath my coat. For the 25 minutes it took me to get off, no one had any idea what I was doing.

"We hid in a confessional booth,
confessed our sins, and got aroused."
When I was 16, I visited a gothic cathedral in France with my school. I was bored, so a friend and I hid in a confessional booth. Yes, we confessed our sins, and we got aroused and masturbated – hope we didn't make too bad a mess. Remembering it still brings a smile to my face. I hope it brings one to him, also.

A few years ago I used to deliver papers along the coast of a small fishing island. There was a small hut that was used to store fishing nets and stuff. One day I felt horny, so I popped inside and masturbated. It gave me a real rush to think I was doing it in a public place and could be caught at any moment. This resulted in a mind-blowing orgasm!

I once was masturbated by a girl in the back of a hearse. A friend in high school had a dad who was a funeral director. We were on our way to a party at a local cemetery. Ah, the high school years!

On a summer evening, I like to go to a public park late at night and climb up onto the decks of the playground activity structures. These structures, especially at night, obstruct much of the view from the street. I usually remove all of my clothes and try to masturbate leisurely, but the thrill of being naked outdoors and masturbating in a big city gets me too excited. I usually ejaculate quickly.

Off of the balcony of our hotel room during spring break. It was about 3 in the morning, so there weren't that many people out – but still, it was exciting! Just to know that someone *could* have been watching made it that much more enjoyable. I would definitely do it again if I had the chance.
