Masturbation vs Real Sex

[CuriousinPennsylvania]

I think that a statement from the military during World War II sums it up:

"Although a childish habit, it does no real harm and does not lead to insanity. If you have this unfortunate habit, try to control it as a matter of pride."

As such, I think that I will be forever young, healthy, and sane. And so, as someone who has never been able to control this unfortunate habit, may I say, as a matter of pride, that old habits  die "hard" as do most masturbators.

Well....I don't think masturbation is sex in the truest sense of the word.
I miss the taste and smell of another person. I miss the emotions associated with experiencing an orgasm together, and in general, intercourse.

I do this quite often, mainly because my wife has lost the desire to have sex more than once a week. For me it's not enough, so to avoid the blue balls effect, I jerk off .
If I don't do this, I won't be able to discharge myself and I won't be able to concentrate at work .
Yes, it's a fact, in my head I can fuck whoever I want and how I want.... In my head I can be a millionaire who won the lottery... but this "small" dissatisfaction remains .

I enjoy both sex and masturbation, but I have always felt the need to have that alone time. I find it's both therapeutic as well as a stimulant to my imagination.

Usually I jack off once a week or so when the mrs is around, but when she leaves for a few days, I make a full day of it. I smoke up, watch or read something really kinky (esp stuff the mrs and I don't do) and use the vibrator on my cock, edging for a whole long ass time, until my entire body is shuddering and I leave a massive splatter on myself and the bedsheets.

Mastirbation is also a little cathartic for me because I am extremely loud when I am close, and the mrs doesn't like me screaming the walls down, so when she is not around, it's also my opportunity to really let myself go and shout at the top of my voice while I make a mess.

Same…I love edging…as I am bi, and have been with dozens and dozens of women, men and couples…my edging can go in any direction as my desire suits me during that specific playtime…just recently, I have been getting extremely high before I start my edging…it adds to the sensation quite a lot…my edging ing goes three to four hours, but I did in fact go 5 1/2 one time, depending upon how much alone time I have…would love to talk to people who love edging about their experience and best techniques …let’s discuss…here is a thread I started about edging
