The response truly astonishes me, Verne.
In these post "The Contest" days, I can't imagine that this is still a big deal.
Well, I've already proudly proclaimed it.

>How often do you all masturbate?
Everyday. Once at least. Sometimes twice. I don't think I've done it more than 5 times in one day. Sometimes I might miss a day through just not getting the 'space' that I need to relieve myself. Although that has an added bonus as if I miss oneday - the following I have a more intense time. Can't remember the last time I missed 2 days. Last time was 30 mins ago.

Hi Verne,
Just curious, does it bother you that you, or are you okay with it? Maybe you're on the higher end of the bell curve? I don't know, I'm not a guy. I guess age, hormones, stuff like that makes a difference, and whether it's getting in the way of other things.
Hope you're doing okay today.

I agree that masturbation is a personal subject, and what I shared above isn't something I usually share with random strangers..
I do think that alot of information shared on this site is of a personal nature, like our medical records etc.
For those that are bipolar, not all, but I'll speak for myself saying that an increased sex drive when hypomanic is a 'symptom' I've had to deal with. If i'm in a relationship that isn't so bad, and if i'm not it really isn't either because of other stimulation through masturbation.
I really have little control if and when my sex drive is on the high side, just like if i'm depressed and its not working.
I don't know, I guess if I wouldn't have included my sex drive to the psychiatirst that would have been a point against not having bipolar disorder, but its just who I am.
If I was in a relationship though, I guess I wouldn't be doing so much.

Cool link. Thanks.
Far greater than normal interest is always a sign for me to stop and think about hypomania or extreme anxiety.

Hi Dinah,
I'm sure some of it for me is anxiety, but no matter how much xanax I take it does no good. I don't want to go on anything else, so I guess I have to deal with it. Do you have ways of quelling it when it's high?

Well.... yeah. :)
But I haven't thought of any novel alternative solutions.
Sometimes I just live with it without doing anything at all about it.

LOL.....oooohhhh....well I was thinking maybe alternatives. ; ) I've been trying to ignore mine too. I've been taking an herb that's supposed to lower it in women, don't know if it works or not.

I do realize that past a certain point, it's not fun. It's just painful and annoying.
Treating the underlying hypomania and anxiety is another option, and my preferred one.

Yeah, I hear you on that. At the risk of being crude, sometimes I want to try putting xanax where it's not intended to go, just to see if it would help!
Thanks for your reply, I know it's not the easiest topic to discuss.

>ooh my favorite topic! only kidding. oh my god, am i really answering this? hehe..anything for a thrill..umm...gosh, more than i'd like to admit to...whenever i am in a relationship i do it a lot more, and..i am more horny lately, too..so...i guess approximately every other day. and when i get a good vibrator it will probably be every day. it's really quite healthy. although maybe not so healthy to talk about it with god knows how many ppl reading...

aim,
how pleasant to see you return.
(i am one among many ppl,healthy or not, with that sentiment)
(ad you know that a Masturbation Poll will be a thread whose readership will only lengthen over time ;-))
And since the topic of Masturbation is far less likely to get me blocked than Politics, I will say that I have long scrificed variety for convenience (besides, if I have an orgasm, I am less likely to post scabrous material on the Politics board immediately post act [I am giving potent ammunition to anyone who wishes to engage me in debate about policy... ])ah well, no strength in concealment, though I am hardly the secret-spilling type (actually, I am, though in a slightly different sense :-))

Although that has an added bonus as if I miss oneday - the following I have a more intense time.er yes. i agree. though sometimes i do have a low drive (maybe for a week)... maybe related to that time of the month maybe not. i'm not sure... not sure if thats a lot for a girl either. i'm not on any psych meds if thats got something to do with it lol.
