WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TIME OF DAY TO MASTURBATE, AND WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE?

[Notes: A lot of people remarked that any time of day is their favorite time to masturbate. Among those who have a favorite time, responses were divided between morning after waking, and at night before going to sleep. But many people do not prefer to masturbate during the workday (or school day for students) because of the interference of other activities. Many students prefer the afternoon when they get home from school because they have more privacy then.]

When I am in bed going to sleep — it's an awesome feeling to pull down my underwear and lie there naked under the covers. Then I can take my time and let my thoughts go because no one will come in and bother me. The only bad part is sometimes I worry about what to do with cleanup so nobody will hear me up. That could draw attention! My least favorite time is in the morning, for a couple of reasons. One is that it would be easier to get caught, and I don't want *that* to happen again. The other reason is that it drains me if I do it in the morning. Then I kind of lose interest in looking and thinking about sex until later.

I love to masturbate anytime, but my favorite is right before I go to bed, or as soon as I wake up.

When I come home from school, no one else is home, and my mom doesn't come home for 3 hours — so I go to town just about every day. Sometimes, when my friend didn't have to go to work after school, he would come over and we'd masturbate together. He has since moved away and now every day at about 3:00 I think back to what we would do together at that time. The worst time would have to be when I stay up all night, because I probably have already masturbated during the day, so the orgasms are not as good.

Masturbating while under the shower is great, especially in the morning when I wake up horny. My favorite time is in the middle of the night and I wake up with a raging erection that demands attention. The spontaneous urgency is the best. My wife, who is menopausal, gently reminds me to use the towel she provides. I make such a racket and shaking that she never sleeps through it.

I love to masturbate at night. Since it's dark, it's much easier for me to imagine being pleasured. Using my imagination that way is not as easy during the day.

My favorite time is at night when I go to bed, especially on nights when I don't have school the next day. My least favorite is in the middle of the day. I feel more rushed then, and it doesn't last as long. At night and on weekends when my mom lets me sleep in, I take longer and sometimes do it twice. I have my own room and keep a box of Kleenex next to my bed, so I really fall asleep quickly after a couple of orgasms!

At sunset and at sunrise, when the world is cool and calm and beautiful, is best. At lunchtime, when it is rushed and in unpleasant surroundings, is worst.
- age 53, Florida

I love to masturbate when I wake up, because it always starts my day well. I hate to masturbate before I go to sleep because it makes me just want to get up and not sleep.
- age 14, Canada

In the morning when I first wake up, just lying there and taking my time. I'm incredibly horny when I wake up, so it usually leads to a great orgasm. My least favorite? I don't think I have one. Any time is a good time to masturbate! But I would say that mornings provide the most enjoyment for me.
- age 36, Pennsylvania

I masturbate during class! I squeeze my legs together and give myself a wedgie and then rock back and forth.
- age 13, Alberta, Canada (female)

I like late evening before going to bed. My least favorite time is at lunchtime in the stall at work (sometimes I just have to release my pent-up emotions). But at home at night, I can concentrate on my feelings and responses.
- age 45, New Jersey

In the shower, right before I go to bed. In the morning sometimes my penis is erect, but it is too sore to rub. During the day, I just hate the idea of cleaning up the mess and going on with what I was doing. But at night, I can think about anything arousing that happened that day and have a better orgasm. And in the shower, there isn't any mess to clean up. Another advantage is it helps me fall asleep easily.

I like to masturbate in the morning when I wake up, because it's a good start to the day. Also, at night is good before I fall asleep, because it is very relaxing. I don't masturbate at lunch or dinnertime, because people at home are moving around and I could be discovered.
- age 19, Italy

Masturbating when someone is in the room next to mine and my door is unlocked is the best. I love the feeling that I may get caught, and it gives me a great orgasm. My least favorite is when I have to go do something else even though I really want to pleasure myself — I don't have a good orgasm and am usually left feeling very horny.
- age 17, New Jersey

I wake up with an erection 9 times out of 10, so I almost always start the day masturbating. I tend to be pretty hyper at night, so I usually end up playing with myself, thinking of someone hot I saw during the day, and then I masturbate before I fall asleep. I guess my least favorite time to get horny is during the workday, because at work it can be very inconvenient. Weekends are a great time, and sometimes I masturbate 7 or 8 times over the weekend. When I am not working it, I am usually thinking about working it.

Late at night when it is warm, my brother (he is 18) and I will go out on the patio, strip naked, and masturbate together. It's so good to feel the night breezes blowing over your naked skin and to let your erect penis feel the breeze. It is also a nice have such a strong bond with your brother that you can masturbate together. We usually ejaculate into the flowerbeds.
- age 17, North Carolina

Right after getting home from work. I usually have the house to myself for an hour or two, and I get naked and masturbate slowly until I'm about to have an orgasm. Then I stop. I do this 3 or 4 times (or as many as I can), and then go for the orgasm using the "Butterfly" method from JackinExpert. (If you haven't tried this, you should!) I always get a powerful orgasm that feels absolutely wonderful.

My favorite time of the day has to be about 4 p.m., straight after school. I can lie in my bed and take as long as I want, knowing I still have a lot of time left that evening to do my homework. I don't really like masturbating later in the evening, because if I haven't done any homework, I feel guilty that I'm not doing homework. Finally, the worst time of the day has to be in the morning, especially after I've just awakened. I feel like I just want to go back to sleep, and my orgasms always seem to be quite weak.
- age 17, United Kingdom

I like to do it in school. I really like the risk of doing it in the bathroom, or even in class.
- age 15, Colorado (female)

I don't really have a favorite time of day, just whenever the fancy takes me!
- age 18, United Kingdom

Before I go to bed after I get out of the shower and sometimes while I am in the shower. (I like to take a wash cloth and put it over the head of the shower so it creates a fast, warm jet of water. Then I pinch the foreskin of my penis and stick it under the water until I have an orgasm.) My least favorite time masturbate? I don't think I have one — it always feels so energetic and great.
- age 16, New York

My favorite time is immediately upon arising in the morning, especially if it's still dark outside. I don't shower or have breakfast but must start masturbating right away. The least favorite time is at the end of the day when I'm tired. Mornings are great; evenings not.
- age 79, Florida

My favorite times to masturbate are late at night and early in the morning. If I stroke it right before I go to bed, it helps me sleep a lot better. Sometimes when I have killer morning wood, I like to do it in the shower. It puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day.
- age 17, Ohio

My favorite time is after school — my parents don't get home until 6. I can just sit back, relax, and masturbate to my heart's content for a couple of hours. I guess my least favorite time would be the morning before school. It's rushed then, it uses up time I need, and it lowers my sex drive and energy for the rest of the day, both of which I like to have in class. The morning orgasm is also not as powerful and I don't get as much semen.
- age 14, Pennsylvania

Just before bedtime is the best. My least favorite time is during mid-day, while I'm at work. The boss frowns on that.
- age 40, New York

I have two favorites: One is really late at night when everyone else is asleep and I can be naked on my bed without worrying about anyone walking in. Then I can take my time and play with my best pal for as long as I want before I ejaculate. My next most favorite time is around 3:30 in the afternoon — I have to do it really fast because I'm either in my bedroom or in the bathroom. Who knows what could happen? My least favorite is in the morning because I have to do it in the shower.
- age 17, California

My least favorite definitely has to be the morning. Apart from being still half asleep, I have no motivation to masturbate. Without a doubt the best time is at night, for various reasons. For some reason, I like to masturbate just before I go to sleep and not clean up. I like the feeling of my semen on the sheets or on my chest. I also prefer night because I like to sit in the garden and masturbate when it's dark. The feeling of the night air on my naked body arouses me.
- age 19, United Kingdom

I have several favorite times. I really like first thing in the morning, while still sporting a morning erection. However, I can do this only on days when I don't have to get up early for school. Also, I am usually rather horny right after school, so I often masturbate directly after coming home. Another time I enjoy is right before bed. I find this to be a good time because it relaxes me and I sleep better.
- age 18, Ontario, Canada

I like to masturbate after I take a shower, in the late afternoon, because I am warm and already naked. This time of day is much better than late at night, because then I am usually very tired. It's not fun to masturbate when I am dead tired at the end of a day. I usually feel refreshed after I shower, and that drives me to masturbate.
- age 14, New Hampshire

I used to be a morning guy, but now that I am older I find mornings are too rushed. I've grown to like prolonged sessions. So, evenings after I return from the health club, I often spend 30-45 minutes in a session before I "fire all guns."
- age 37, Illinois

Right after school. I just get all the stress out of me from the long day. My least favorite time is right before falling asleep. If I ejaculate, I will not go to bed.
- age 13, Pennsylvania

My favorite time is when I get home after work every day and want to release the tensions from the job. The same goes just before I go to sleep at night, unless I wait too late at night to do it. If I'm too tired, it tends to take longer to climax, which is also usually much less intense. So I guess that would have to be my least favorite time.
- age 42, Maine

When I wake up is best and in the afternoon is my least favorite. I enjoy it most when I wake up because I have just had 8-10 hours of thinking of sex, and it is time for my little buddy to have some fun. When I masturbate in the afternoon, I often do it to relieve boredom. The difference is amazing. Actually, the time it feels best is when I wake up in the middle of the night, but I don't love that, because then I am tired.
- age 13, Massachusetts

Just after I get home from the gym in the evening is my favorite time, around 7 p.m. Energy rushes through me then, and it just seems right, so I go for it. My worst time? I'm never in the mood to do it first thing in the morning. My body isn't awake yet, and it doesn't feel right. And of course, before bed, after talking to my boyfriend on the phone (or while we're talking) is great, too.

In the summer, I like to find a river stream with rocks to lie on while I masturbate in the afternoon sun. During the cold months, I prefer to do it at night between 11:00 and 2:00. Outdoors is best!
- age 18, Massachusetts

My favorite time is when I come in from jogging. The workout makes me feel good, probably due to a rush of endorphins. My scrotum is usually tight due to the cool air I've been working out in, and this puts pressure on my testicles that feels extremely good. In turn, this heightens the sensations I feel when stroking myself. My least favorite time is first thing in the morning. I usually have an erection, but my penis is less sensitive, and my orgasms are not as powerful.
- age 38, Washington

I can masturbate at any time during the day, but I prefer it at night while taking a shower bath. My doctor said it is good to wash your penis during the bath. But I started masturbating while cleaning it!
- age 16, India

I love to play with myself in the middle of the afternoon, when I can watch the pool man outside without him knowing it. There is no bad time to do it! My enjoyment is increased when I think someone can see me or someone is watching me.
- age 21, Florida (female)

The morning is definitely the most enjoyable time of the day, because I usually wake up with an erection. I live alone, so I have all the privacy I need for a mind-blowing session — just the two of us, my penis and me. Nights are fine for masturbation, but not as good as mornings.
- age 42, Argentina

I like to masturbate when nobody's home and I'm sitting in the easy chair. My least favorite time is when my mom is hollering at me to come out of my room and get to school.
- age 12, California

My favorite is either after waking in the morning or at bedtime. I can attain a more vivid fantasy level of people, both male and female, with whom I have had sex at some point in my life. These fantasies frequently include my wife, and masturbating at these times results in more intense orgasms. I generally masturbate at both times daily. My least favorite time is during the day, but I occasionally do it then.
- age 66, Texas

I love to masturbate really early, like 4 a.m., calling my boyfriend and telling him about it. Sometimes he's really tired, but he still makes he horny.
- age 17, Ireland (female)

I always masturbate at night because there's more privacy, but it makes it hard to find anybody in chat rooms to cyber with, except for the occasional Australian or European visiting the chat room.
- age 20, Oregon

I think most people would admit that masturbation is good at any time, and I can't disagree. But I think I like it most right before I go to bed. I have my own room and a lock, so I have plenty of privacy to be naked and free as long as I want. I like to sleep in the nude anyway, so before bed I simply strip myself (and the bed), pull out my vibrator, and go at it for as long as I want. I usually have 3 or 4 great orgasms in about 20 minutes before I pull the comforter over me and my sheets for a very comfortable night's sleep.
- age 15, New Jersey (female)

My favorite time is early morning, especially on the weekends. After a restful night's sleep, and a wind-down from a busy, frenetic week as a professor, it is a great self-reward. My least favorite is evening after a strenuous day in the classroom. My energies are so depleted that it takes *so* long, and orgasm does not seem intense enough to make it worth the effort.
- age 61, California

It's not so much about having a good time of day, but about having the right circumstances. If the opportunity strikes in the morning, fine. If it strikes in the afternoon, great! In the evening it's even better. I guess you could say my favorite time is when I'm horny enough and I have some time on my hands. I think the only time it's not a good idea is to do it at school. Too much risk of getting caught.
