WHERE
WE MASTURBATE
While the majority of people masturbate in the privacy of
their own bedroom, masturbation can literally take place
in any
location. Ones home is the most common and private location
(e.g., while lying on the bed, in the bath or shower, or
on the toilet, are the three most reported home locations).
Some
people report getting sexual excitement from masturbating
in locations where there is a risk of getting caught.
Masturbating at school or work, masturbating
in ones car, or masturbating on a bus, train, or airplane
lavatory are all frequented locations.
Adult
entertainment centers are another location where masturbation
occurs outside of the home (usually for men). Many of these locations contain fee-based viewing
booths that show pornographic videos. Sometimes these
viewing booths contain glass dividers that allow adjacent
masturbators to watch each-other while masturbating.
Masturbation
in a location that may allow others to witness the activity
is considered exhibitionism, and is a whole different
topic. Furthermore masturbation outside the privacy of
ones home (i.e., in public) is usually considered indecent
exposure, and is illegal in most communities.
A
common discussion on our bulletin board is regarding "the
wierdest place you've masturbated."
