DO YOU LIKE TO WATCH TV OR LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE YOU MASTURBATE?

[Notes: Most people prefer no distractions when masturbating, except in the case of watching a strictly erotic program. As for music, not surprisingly older people prefer classical and jazz and younger people prefer rock. Females seem to prefer masturbating to music more than males.]

I like to watch "Jerry Springer" because its almost always sexually related.

At 11 AM Central on ESPN2 there's a show with scantily clad, very toned women doing various gymnastic exercises. I don't remember what it's called, but it's some type of competition. I sometimes masturbate to it on my lunch break.

I often masturbate at night, and I always have a CD or tape going. The music ranges from classical to jazz, to ska, punk, whatever I just feel like that night. I don't think the music affects how I ejaculate or anything. Most of the time it proves to be a hindrance because I start listening to the music more than I am actually concentrating on masturbating.

Sometimes what I am watching on TV causes me to masturbate. I'll be watching a music video, and if it really turns me on I start to masturbate. For example, Trisha Yearwood's video "There Goes My Baby" really turns me on. She looks so sexy in the video that every time I see it I start to masturbate.

If I listen to music while masturbating, it's usually jazz. Much more relaxing. The only TV I like to watch while pleasuring myself are porn videos. I have a large collection. I prefer watching girl/girl sex and female masturbation scenes since they turn me on the most.

Music! It's so much more intense than TV, and if you're listening to CDs you don't have worry about hearing commercials about the latest rebates at your local Ford Dealer in the middle of it all. Plus, I usually have my eyes closed anyway, so a TV would be pointless.
- age 18, Utah

I listen to music — no preference as long as it has a good rhythm.
- age 20, Ohio

It depends on what's on at the time. I would feel stupid doing it while watching "Emeril Live"! Thoughts of a naked chef would enter my mind, and that would not be good at all. But maybe I would masturbate to a good scene in a movie, or a song by a chick band.
- age 15, California

I find music distracting — I'd rather concentrate than sing along! Once I climaxed with the TV on and sound off, and as I opened my eyes I saw Oprah crying her eyes out. It was the worst come-down I've ever had!
- age 25, South Africa

I like watching movies with boys in it. Especially if they have their shirts off. I don't know why, but I just get horny!
- age 14, Maryland

If I'm using a magazine, I like to listen to a little AC/DC to get myself in the mood. I came to the conclusion that after masturbating when AC/DC is on, I have to have sex with it on. However, I can't find the right girl who will agree to it. Not just any AC/DC — just "Back in Black." My stamina is better, too...I can get almost to "You Shook Me All Night Long."
- age 21, New York

Yes. "Laverne and Shirley," "JAG," and shows about sex on HBO.
- age 15, Louisiana

No TV or music, preferably — unless the performers are masturbating! Otherwise, they would be a distraction.
- age 53, Texas

Rock & roll, like AC/DC or Guns N' Roses. I ejaculate and fling the semen off my hands like a rocker would throw a guitar at the end of a tune.
- age 19, California

No TV shows, but videos for sure. Green Day is great to masturbate to, as well as Nirvana, Pachelbel, and Vivaldi.
- age 31, Florida

I like to listen to any music with a strong beat and move my hand along the shaft of my penis following the beat rhythmically. I usually ejaculate when the song ends.
- age 39, Argentina

I only really like classical music, but sometimes when masturbating I like to hear terrible rock or pop music — very strange!
- age 17, United Kingdom

It depends on the mood I'm in. Often a little classical music or jazz is nice — helps me relax and focus on the pleasure I'm giving myself. Nothing as loud or distracting as rock music, though.
- age 40, California

Bands like "Korn" or "Metallica" get me going real good, with the greatest orgasm imaginable.
- age 16, New York

I like to watch "Cops."
- age 31, New Jersey

When I masturbate I have to listen to music. I always listen to Third Eye Blind because Stephen Jenkins has such a soothing voice. The music calms me.
- age 16, Indiana (female)

I like watching commercials that have women on them — especially ads where the chick is in the shower, like shampoo ads.
- age 15, Australia

I like to masturbate when I am watching an episode of "Real Sex" on HBO. They usually talk about erotic topics, and it gets me very turned on. I usually have a powerful orgasm.
- age 30, Pennsylvania

Sometimes I like to listen to music. I prefer to listen to the Beatles, because like me, the person I think about loves them and regards them as her favorite band.
- age 15, New Jersey

Brian Eno! "Music for Airports" or anything from his ambient period. It's the perfect soundtrack for fantasies! I love rock music but I find that unless it has a soundtrack feel to it I get to distracted. As for TV, unless it's an erotic video, the TV's off.
- age 41, North Dakota

I read that Marilyn Manson thinks about masturbation during sex. Plus, I have lots of pictures of him on my wall. In one, he is almost nude — just in plastic — where you can see his penis. I could see the bulge when I saw him in concert.
- age 15, Oklahoma

I usually listen to Lords of Acid or Tool...Lords of Acid for the lyrics, and Tool for the emotion.
- age 14, New York (female)

I like to listen to U2. I don't know why, but it makes me really horny.
- age 18, Argentina

It's rare that I listen to music or watch regular TV. Although I have a vivid imagination, I still like to be stimulated either visually or aurally, and some type of adult entertainment is usually at hand. I enjoy amateur and home-video types of movies and have found some Web sites with genuine sex audio, which is a tremendous turn-on. To me, there is nothing more arousing than hearing or seeing people (especially women) having orgasms — as long as they're real!
- age 32, California

I like to watch "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I have all of the episodes taped and watch them all the time.
- age 15, Georgia

Re-runs of "The Brady Bunch" — especially Marcia. Yum.
- age 50, Washington

I find something strangely erotic about Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Sprit."
- age 14, California

Does "Debbie Does Dallas" count as a TV show?
- age 16, Virginia

I love to listen to techno music when I masturbate. Something about the beat matches my masturbation style. I start with slow techno for 5 minutes and then pop in a fast one for the finale.
- age 29, California

Soul Train! Every Saturday I watch those lovely bodies sway.
- age 30, Illinois

Hanson's "MMM-Bop!" Not because of the singers — it has a great beat. You should try it sometime!
- age 15, Australia

I don't like to watch TV when I masturbate; it's too distracting. Even listening to music, it has to be just right. Bjork is about the only thing I'd masturbate to.
- age 17, Canada

Well, if I am watching TV while I'm masturbating, I always watch porn. And if I'm listening to music, it's either Metallica or Korn. It pumps me up while I'm looking at my Playboys.
- age 18, California

Sometimes I like Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, INXS (which is ironic because the lead singer died during an act of autoerotic asphyxiation).
- age 35, Texas

I like to listen to Natalie Imbruglia, because she's hot and I can imagine she's with me. I also like to watch Party of Five (Neve Campbell) and 7th Heaven (both Mary and Lucy really turn me on).
- age 15, Washington

I prefer silence. When I'm using lube, though, it makes noise, and if someone else is near I have to turn on the radio in my room. The rhythm of the music can conflict with that of my hand, though. Without lube I enjoy masturbating in "stealth mode," regardless of others' proximity.
- age 18, Kansas

When I was first masturbating (around 12 years old), I would put on my sister's Madonna tape (I believe it was "True Blue"). I had seen the video on MTV and thought Madonna was gorgeous, so masturbating to the tape really turned me on. Plus, the music covered the noise so no one could hear. I must have listened to "True Blue" 500 times.
- age 19, California

I like to listen to the Doors or Pink Floyd. Some of the psychedelic stuff in their music really turns me on.
- age 21, Minnesota

I listen to Sausage. "The Shattering Song" severely makes me want to masturbate for some odd reason.
- age 17, California

I don't like to watch TV or do anything else except masturbate. Why distract yourself from something this much fun?
- age 18, Texas

For some reason I get a kick out of listening to the Beatles or the Beach Boys.
- age 15, West Virginia

Kiana's "Flex Appeal" or any other of those hot workout shows on ESPN2 are my favorites. There's nothing like sweaty women in Spandex to get me "pumping iron."
- age 19, Minnesota

I like to watch sitcoms on TV if it's earlier in the evening, Dateline or 20/20 if it's later. If I don't want to watch TV, I listen to musicals ("Evita," "Jesus Christ Superstar," "Chess") on my headphones.
- age 15, Nevada

I like to watch TV — usually news or game shows. I like game shows because I like to see what different people look like and fantasize about them.
- age 46, Connecticut

Actually I masturbate to the night radio show "Loveline." It's not that it arouses me — it's just that it's the time of night when I masturbate. I don't finish my homework till then. It's very soothing. Music is sometimes too much of a distraction.
- age 15, California

I like to listen to the soundtrack to "The Last of the Mohicans."
- age 26, Texas

I like to listen to classical music. My favorite is Beethoven. I try to time my orgasm with the rise of the music.
- age 17, Texas

I enjoy listening to classical music. It relaxes me and helps me with my concentration. Incorporating music into my masturbatory practices has helped with the problem of premature ejaculation. Now I can last one hour without climaxing, and when I do, I experience explosive orgasms like never before.
- age 45, Ohio

I've masturbated *a lot* to television and movies. "Dawson's Creek," "Felicity"...anything, really. I usually manage to watch TV alone, so when a certain scene or actress turns me on, I just go straight to work.
- age 16, New Jersey

I like to listen to Motown with my first and second fingers inside my vagina. The two fingers are usually one or two inches apart, and I keep time to the music with them. This makes me orgasm so intensely that sometimes a liquid erupts from my vagina.
- age 48, Louisiana (female)

I love listening to Dave Matthews. He is so inspirational, in more than one way!
- age 18, North Carolina

I just like to masturbate. It doesn't matter whether there is music or not. Sometimes one song brings back a memory of something, or a song reminds me of someone, and then it really heightens the experience because my fantasies seem more real.
- age 16, Missouri

I masturbate to "Friends," "Seinfeld," "Melrose Place," "Baywatch," "Just Shoot Me," Sheryl Crow, Pearl Jam, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Mariah Carey — just about everything.
- age 25, New Jersey

I never watch TV or listen to music, because I am always scared I won't hear if someone approaches and will catch me masturbating.
- age 17, Alabama

I listen to Marilyn Manson. Some of the songs are kinky.
- age 15, Wisconsin

Whenever I get down and masturbate like there's no tomorrow, I love to listen to Mariah Carey. I pretend she is going down on me and then on top of me, carrying out one of my greatest fantasies. She is one of the hottest singers out there.
- age 15, California

I usually put on some music using the CD-ROM drive of my PC while also using a graphics viewer program to run a slide show of soft-porn images.
- age 38, Australia

An easy one. I prefer "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails.
- age 19, Indiana

I've masturbated to "Burnout" by Green Day. The entire song is about masturbation. The whole time I am listening to it I "bite my lip and close my eyes, take me away to paradise."
