A swift one off the wrist - easy, convenient, refreshing - but just not the same as the real thing, perhaps.

Reporting in the journal Biological Psychology, researchers have now found a basis in physiology for the niggling dissatisfaction.

Levels of the hormone prolactin are lower after masturbation than intercourse. Prolactin makes us feel satisfied by counteracting the arousal messenger dopamine.

The levels of prolactin in the blood of subjects who committed an act of self-pollution after watching grumble flicks were just one fifth of those who had had actual sex in the lab. Still, either way, nice work if you can get it.

The scientists say the difference also explains why men may need a "recovery period" after forming The Beast with Two Backs, but can happily nip to the loo for five minutes, make the bald man cry, then get straight back to work.


The point that they fail to mention is that masterbation and partner sex serve vastly different needs.
 
Masturbation > Sex? No way!

I can masturbate anytime I want. Sex, however, is not quite as plentiful. Additionally, having a female partner adds more toys to the toybox, if ya catch my drift. You get boobies and other tasty things. If ya just masterbate... you get... just your pennis.

Those that feel more pleasure by doing it themselves oughtta learn about multitasking. You can pleasure yourself with one hand, while pleasuring a partner with your other hand or tongue or whatever. Think, people!

.....and I can't believe I just participated in this silly thread.

I dunno dude, good masturbation is better than bad sex imo.

Either you have REALLY BAD SEX OR You know something about masturbation that the rest of us don't

No I have had really bad sex before, once in college I kicked a girl out of bed and finished the job myself, yes she was that bad.
stop sleeping with women who have drank too much and are passed out ftw!


lol, sadly she was sober, maybe if she was drunk she would have been more fun....sigh
really though.... how bad could it have been if she was sober? all she has to do is lay there.

ROFL, lol I bet your partner just loves sex with ya.
ferchrissakes, i didn't say that's all i do. i am trying to figure out why you like masturbation better than this sexual encounter.


Because she layed there, didn't make a sound, and expected me to do all the work. I mean she was damn good looking to but god, just not worth my time.
ok, yeh, a good looking girl in your bed letting you sexxor her. you kick her out and give yourself a hand job. that's what most guys do.

Shrug, I slept around a lot in college not like I wasn't getting any.
sure, Palmela Handerson is a female, right? 😛

(just teasing you 😉 )

lol, I know some guys who would rather masturbate than have sex with their wives.....all depends on the person.


Why would anyone tell you that? Im not sayign you made it up but it seems odd one man would say that to another.

Holy shlt this string of quotes is long!
Anyways masterbation beats uglay chicks any day.
Dunno if a bag would make up for it either...
*shivers*
he said she was "damn good looking".


Shrug I would rather be with an average girl who knew her way around the bedroom then a supermodel who had no clue.

If you are all flash and no substance why waste the time?

longest quote ever?

When you're just really tired but too tense and too wound up to sleep, which would you rather have ? a brief encounter with youself that relaxes you enough to fall asleep quickly or a full blown session with a partner? Keep in mind that with a partner, you've got to worry about pleasing them, meeting their needs and expectations. Masterbation is about sheer physical release, partner sex has a whole lot of other meanings/purposes with physical release being just one small part of it. Sometimes you want a 7 course meal, other times you want a quick sandwich,This study is flawed because it's like comparing the merits of apples versus oranges.
