Doesn't everyone have sexual desires or feelings? If so, how come people won't admit they masturbate?\n\nEvery time, I mention the word to my friends, they're like "gross. nasty," and crap. It drives me nuts...but yet, I know they do it. How come they react like this?

Michelle, some of the responses you're getting may depend on the age and maturity of you and your friends. Many people won't admit to these feelngs because they fear or do not understand them. Others may have been conditioned by their parents or friends to ignore or downplay these feelings. Often, the degree of openness on any given subject is directly related to the fear of embarassment or rejection.

yeah! so what!\n;~)\nActually, I have so noticed it myself! And another thing, people say things like, "I am so NOT into it"...They used to say, I am NOT so into it"...like you saying "This is so not funny!!!\nWhat is this "so-so" and "so not".... a fad? I so wish I knew!

People accept 2 girls easier because it's apparently sexy...I think people get disgusted by men having intercourse together because they stick their doda's in their poopers....It's funny too because when I was a hetero-sexual, men loved the idea of sticking their doda's in my pooper(I didn't let them), but were all like *ewwwww when male to male pooper pumping was mentioned....I'm sure I am going to get a violation for my answer to this question...altho I don't think I said anything profane at all!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think there is some truth to the stereotype that guys have issues with their feelings.   Many of us certainly don't have the emotional vocabulary to describe our feelings like the ladies do.\n\nAnother reason is sometimes it's not "safe" to express how we feel.\n\nFor example, if we feel rejected because we are not getting enough sex from our wives, we are called sex crazed by those same wives.  Why would anyone continue to share their feelings if those feelings are invalidated.\n\nMen don't have the corner on this market, women invalidate their man's feelings with similar frequency.\n\nI agree, there are ladies who refuse to share their feelings.  They may sulk, pout, or put the walls up, but when you ask them what is wrong, what is the first word past the lips, "Nothing."

Ha!\n\nFunny how its always a 'friend' with strange habits eh? If your 'friend' tells you  these intimate things about himself, then why don't you just ask your 'friend' what he gets out of it???\n\nThe problem with posting questions about 'friends' is that some cynical people will believe the 'friend' is the person posting the question who just wants to talk about something that turns them on.

Although I'm a firm believer in freedom of speech I find it quite disturbing that people don't have a problem with using this word in front of anybody, at any time.\nIt negates any sign of intelligence that you would not find it in your vocabulary to communicate disgust, anger and other emotions without resorting to a word that literally means fornicate or sexual intercourse. Aren't our brains a little more evolved than that?\nIf you want to use it, you have the right, but other people have the right NOT to hear it everywhere!

Disgust for your own body?  Sad story.\nI do it all the time, love it, and would never stop!  In fact, my husband helps!\n"Classic" lady??  Nice try.  \nPRUDE is more like it.  Get in tune with your own body, then come back and answer these mature questions...How can someone know what you like, if YOU don't even know!!

Well I haven't gotten over yesterday yet!\nI finally blew my top at some of the people and the filthy way they talk on this forum and I just got so sick I yelled at a person to be something better and I still am seeing so much of it I wonder when our world became so obsessed with the sexual act and when it lost its true meaning for a man and a woman. i am just dumbfounded at the way women so casually give up their virginity and men who are so caught up in conquest that they have no idea how good it is with women they love and romance a little more than a Pepsi and a bag of Doritos and a porno rented DVD, in the basement of his mom and dads house.\nThis is so wrong people, it is my opinion and I am so sad for those who don't know and will never know the true wonder of making love to someone who loves you and would do anything to make you smile including and excluding the act of sex. It makes all the difference in the world.

On average, yeah...it's about the most offensive word in the entire language.  I've been called many names affectionately, that most would consider offensive, and yet didn't bother me at all.  The c word is in its own category though.  I don't think any amount of affection while using that word would be enough to make it acceptable to me.

Randy - just maybe they can't cope (promptly) with the amount of abuse being reported to them, across all categories.\n\nThere've been a few questions from trolls, I've sought to answer today, that have been removed by the time I got to the Submit button.\n\nWe could all make a concerted effort simply not to answer such provocative questions (although I suspect that wouldn't be sustained)\n\nAlso, I think it's good etiquette (I've seen others do it) to post a response which says simply Reported - that way others will know not to do likewise.  Of course, in doing so you do lose the anonymity - But I reckon if we can talk about our sexual preferences on this forum, we can be honest enough to admit when we're defending them.   \n \nIn this way, perhaps Yahoo! Answers will find the reports of Abuse a little easier to handle.  \n\nAnyone else got any ideas on how we can help Y!Answers with this?

why do people assume that calling somebody 'gay' is a bad thing?\n\nit's the same as calling somebody 'straight'. i never saw anybody get offended by that...\n\nmore importantly: why would YOU pressure somebody to come out of the closet? In this ignorant world coming out of the closet is a hard thing to do, unfortunately. I have a number of gay friends who had to go through the hard period right before coming out, and had to live with the condemnment of people after they came out.\n\ni'm not easily offended by questions, but this one is just way out of line.

Never mind what others think... do YOU think it's gross?  \n\nIf you do, then don't do it. \n\nIf you don't, then be SAFE when you are doing it.\n\nSomeone's going to damn you no matter what your POV.  Just make sure you make the choice that suits you.

Definitely none of your business.\n\nMasturbation is a normal human activity.  Probably every one of your friends masturbates at some time or other.  It's none of your business, and it is none of your business what fantasies your friends have while masturbating, or what devices they might use, or what images they might look at.\n\nMasturbation is just a private matter, that's all there is to it.

I think noone of those who answered noticed that the key question is not WHY DO WE ADORE SEX?! it's why do we discard the partner after getting our fix of it.\n\nI would say it's coz most people take the easy way, they want to eat the cake but not help bake it!\n\nSad...

I am not even going to waste my time and reply to most of what you are saying because you said yourself you CAN'T GET IT. But I just wanted to point out that you are wrong about animals and homosexuality, there is large numbers of research that shows homosexual activity in animals, all types of animals. So who says it isn't natural?\nHere are just a couple of links to studies done on it. One artical is even from the national geographic.\nSo maybe you should REALLY know what you're talking about before you get on a homophobic rant.\n\nEDIT\nOk since you really want to know. Then no I don't see it as an illness, and to me it is prefectly natural. As another poster said, I can still look at a man and see him as good looking, but when it comes to sex I am just not interested and i actually get grossed out at the thought some times. \nCan you think of a man that you know that you would NEVER want to think of sexually and if you did it would totally gross you out? Like a family member or maybe some nasty dude that lived down the street or the plummer with the hairy crack? Thats how I feel when I think of most guys sexually, I don't want any sweaty stinky .....thing coming anywhere near me.\nNow women on the other hand...true some of us can be sweaty and stinky and nasty but over all women are just beautiful, everything about a woman is beautiful, inside and out.

aha! the preacher's in town. sir, with due respect it is no one's prerogative to classify sin or non-sin like this. how about sex without consent with your 'legal' partner of the opposite sex (if you strictly follow the 'natural order')? is that all right to do so? and to mention the countries you are talking about, i think people there are as much randy as anywhere else in the world. maybe a little more repressed too. but all that is changing with the societies opening up to the idea of discussion on sex and sexual health of a society. the last thing we want is a pseudo pundit trying to make matters worse for those who feel there is no release.

Some people don't hold sex in very high esteem, and think it is just a bit of fun. Why deny yourself a bit of (free!) fun?\nBy the time most people are mature enough to realise how special sex is, it is usually too late.
