Sweet Dreams, Ladies! Sleep Orgasms Are A REAL Thing

Now THIS is what we call a good night's sleep.
The female orgasm is pretty interesting because there are many ways to achieve it. The brain is the biggest sex organ for humans, which, apparently, does interesting things while we sleep.
This includes awesome sex dreams that can lead to an orgasm.
Researchers noticed this in a 1983 experiment, where a woman had an orgasm in her sleep. Her heart rate sped up from 50 to 100 beats per minute, and her breathing sped up from 12 to 22 breaths per minute. She also had an increase in vaginal blood flow.
"There's an actual physical orgasm," Madeleine Castellanos, a psychiatrist and sex therapist, tells Fusion. "Most people, when they wake up, will remember having an erotic dream."

As you might know, men get wet dreams and know they had a physical orgasm because there's ... ahem, evidence. However, things are much different for women. Our orgasms tend to only be in our heads with little physical evidence.
So, how do you achieve this orgasm? Fall into a deep sleep, of course.
"During REM sleep, you have increased blood flow to your erectile tissue — for women, it's in the whole clitoral complex," explains Castellanos. "Your brain recognizes that you have more blood flow in those tissues, and it can lead to sexual arousal."

According to Medicine Net, REM sleep occurs three to five times each night, and each time lasts one to two hours. During REM sleep, we experience irregular breathing, heart rate, and muscle jerks.
This is very interesting, but don't forget that sleep isn't the only way to have a hands-free orgasm. If having a hands-free orgasm during sleep is a process that's a little too drawn out for you, there's always manual stimulation.

Female Arousal: How To Not Get Preoccupied During Sex

Life is full of distractions and worries
Life has become impossibly busy for most of us. For many women, life is full of distractions and worries, which can create sexual frustrations, which in turn can create sexual avoidance or kill desire. Does this sound like you? If so, I have a technique for you, taken from my book SexTalk (2002). It's called Taking the Great Dane for a Walk.
Here is what you need to know about male and female sexuality. Men and women are different sexually in some very important ways. One of them is that once aroused, men have what is called "the point of ejaculatory inevitability." That means that at a certain point in a man's arousal, he will be able to orgasm, pretty much no matter what else comes into his head. He could have a fleeting thought about his taxes being due, what a pain his boss is, his son needing lessons on how to drive a car, or his need for a fresh haircut, but these thoughts would not be enough to prevent him from ejaculating. This accounts for why more men than women consider sex to be "relaxing." No matter how stressed men are, once the point of ejaculatory inevitability is reached, their physical release is assured.

Women, on the other hand, are much more distractible. It sometimes can be more work for women than men to become aroused in the first place, and it is certainly more difficult for women to stay aroused. There is no point of inevitable orgasm for women. Instead, women can get distracted and lose their arousal at any point in the sexual encounter. Once arousal is lost, women need to start to build their arousal all over again, from the beginning. This takes a lot of energy. For many women, at this point, they'll just give up.
This is why I always encourage women to think of pursuing their own arousal and orgasm as if they were "taking a great dane for a walk." If orgasm is a woman's goal, she has to take control of her sexuality and her thoughts and not let her unconscious wander.
Just imagine that you are becoming very aroused, and then visualize stopping yourself from getting caught up in an extraneous thought-- for instance, about the details for a presentation you will be making the next day. You need to be talking sex to yourself--nothing else. You need to grab that great dane and yank it back on the path to sexual pleasure.

The great dane exercise is an exercise in self-awareness, communication, and self control. First, write down all of the things that you believe are bothering you enough to distract you during your sexual time with your partner. Secondly, before you into the sexual situation, briefly describe all your potential concerns and distractions to your partner. (Partners should listen sympathetically, but problems need not be solved at this point.) Thirdly, promise yourself that when distracting thoughts come up, you'll yank on your own chain and get that great dane right back on track.
The Venus Butterfly Technique

Hour-long orgasm: does it exist? One writer says yes, sort of...
The mythical one-hour orgasm. Does it exist? According to some experts interviewed by Yvonne K. Fulbright on FoxNews.com it certainly does. "Chalking up the amazingly pleasurable height of sexual response as no more than a 'genital sneeze,' they see an orgasm as involving so much more," she writes.
We've written about these insanely long climaxes in the past (check out this piece on the EMO, or Extended Massive Orgasm), and this sounds pretty similar. With a technique called the Venus Butterfly, practitioners can experience orgasmic contractions over and over. Fulbright explains that these hour-longers believe that
An orgasm starts at the point when your genitals feel better than the rest of you. As sexual excitement builds, the sensations get stronger, often becoming mild contractions. These contractions can build in intensity, even expanding throughout your entire body.

As this continues, you may feel as though you're suspended in a state of bliss without necessarily going over the edge for what's considered the typical depiction of orgasm.
She doesn't explain exactly how to practice the delicious-sounding Venus Butterfly, but apparently it includes communication, continuous touching and stimulation of the clitoris and G-spot and a cycle of peaking—that is, getting close to a peak and then backing off. As Fulbright points out, this is very similar to the tantric sex orgasm.
Fulbright is skeptical of this hour-long orgasm claim. "To say that any throbbing state of the entire sexual response cycle makes for one long state of orgasm is false and misleading. Orgasm is, after all, largely considered the height of sexual arousal — that point of explosive discharge of neuromuscular tensions."

But any kind of hour-long sexual ecstasy sounds pretty good to us.

THIS Is The #1 Celebrity Woman Men Think About When Masturbating

Really!?
Yes, masturbation is still kind of a taboo topic, especially female masturbation (which, yes, does and has always existed!), but self-pleasure shouldn't be a shameful topic. In fact, it's actually considered quite healthy.
In an interview with The Huffington Post, author and associate professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Lauren Streicher, said that health benefits include easier sleep, stress relief, happiness, and general comfort with your body.
Last month, the designer and manufacturer of couple and solo vibrators, We-Vibe, surveyed 1,032 men and women in the U.S. about their masturbation habits and preferences. They discovered quite a bit of saucy information, including secret routines and celebrity fantasies. Be sure to keep these in mind while you're having some "me-time."

1. They have a masturbation routine.
Compared to single and married women, 62 percent of women in relationships revealed that they have a routine before and during their masturbation session, such as looking at adult content and photos, listening to music, or using a vibrator.
2. They prefer toys over porn.
When routine gets boring, you have to spice it up! Eighty-two percent said they are always looking for something new to watch, and 91 percent of men believe that this spices up their "me time," while only 67 percent of women believe the same.
It turns out, more women prefer using toys such as vibrators. We-Vibe found that 73 percent of women sometimes or always uses a toy, and are 16 times more likely to admit it. Only 22 percent of men agree that toys spice up "me time."

3. They often fantasize about celebrities.
More men (33 percent of those surveyed) tend to think about celebrities when masturbating, compared to only 19 percent of women. Single men, especially, fantasize about celebrities more compared to married men.
And who headlines many of these men's sexual fantasies? None other than the gorgeous and talented Jennifer Lopez. For many women's fantasies, it's Channing Tatum, probably doing a number from Magic Mike.
4. They usually keep their sex lives secret.
This plays into the issue of a masturbation as a taboo topic. A quarter of those surveyed admit to never opening up about their sex life. In fact, We-Vibe found that at least 49 percent downplay or lie about their life.
But really, there's no need to be ashamed. Own your body, because it's yours and it's beautiful.
5 Ways Alcohol Is An Orgasm Banisher That Destroys Your Sex Life

Also, SO many calories.
Boning and booze go hand in hand.
It’s amazing what a Manhattan can do for your nerves when it comes time to do the deed with a partner for the first time. I don’t care if he’s my dream man, if I have to take off my clothes and feign confidence you are absolutely going to find me with a cocktail in hand.
A little bit of alcohol lowers your inhibitions, it relaxes you, and it even makes some people (*points to self*) super horny.
But when it comes to time spent in the sack, alcohol is so not your friend! In fact, hooch is totally trying to ruin your sex life.
It’s common knowledge that if a guy overindulges his usually turgid member transforms into an over boiled cannelloni (great, now I’m craving pasta).

Whiskey dick, y’all. It ain’t no joke.
Dudes aren’t alone when it comes to alcohol fueled coital meltdowns of the most tragic nature. Sure, candy is dandy, and liquor quicker — when it comes to getting panties off.
But you know what doesn’t come quicker? YOU PROBABLY.
1. Alcohol doesn’t want you to cum.
Alcohol is a depressant. It slows shit down. And the more alcohol in your blood, the more difficulty your brain has recognizing sexual pleasure. Like WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF MARGARITAS THEN YOU GUYS? I feel so betrayed.
2. Alcohol doesn’t care how much you spent at Sephora.
You just forked out over thirty bucks for a Dior lipstick. We’ve all been there, you consumerist fool, and good on you finding the matte red of your dreams. You know wasn’t doesn’t compliment it? That sour apple liqueur you’ve been swilling that has dyed your tongue and gums Ghostbusters Ecto-cooler green. Somebody is going home alone with only their lipstick for solace.
3. Alcohol wants all your attention.
Thinking about doing anything other than getting up all the time to pee and keeping your eyes from crossing? Joke’s on you. Alcohol needs you to focus on what it needs, and it does not need to charm the handsome dude you met at the bar.
4. Alcohol wants you to have none of the babies.
Several studies link low fertility in women to drinking in excess. Sure, in the moment you want to have a dark and stormy more than a child, but think about it: What would sober you want? I mean probably still the dark and stormy, but whatever.
5. Alcohol doesn’t discriminate.
Beer goggles are real you guys. It’s fine not to judge someone on their physical appearance in real life, but when it comes to a boozy one night romp, looks are where it’s at. Too much booze means going to bed with Eric Stoltz and then waking up to discover that you went to bed with Eric Stoltz from the 1985 seminal classic Mask, also starring Cher. There isn’t enough Advil in the world.

Does alcohol help or hurt your experiences in the bedroom (kitchen, dinette, restaurant bathroom) -- dish with a girl!

I Got A Needle Stuck In My Clit For Hot Orgasms (And You Can Watch!)

I REGRET NOTHING
When Smooth Synergy medispa invited me to have a needle injected into my clitoris last February, I didn't want to do it.
I didn't say no directly. I said yes, because I'm a sex writer and I know a good story when I see one. But once I said yes, I kept putting it off, and putting it off, and putting it off some more.
I can handle pain, I've got three tattoos and have broken bones and done all of that like a total badass. But there was something about a needle full of my own blood injected straight into my clitoris and vagina that made said body part retreat back up inside me like a small, pink turtle's head. I rationalized this decision brilliantly. The O-Shot, after all, was designed for women who are having a difficult time reaching orgasm.
It's also for menopausal women or anyone who might be experiencing pain due to dryness during sex.
I'm 33, pretty damn moist, and my ability to orgasm ranks somewhere up there with a nineteen year-old boy's.
Eventually, however, my passion for actually doing my job (and my guilty conscious) led me to the doors of Smooth Synergy in Manhattan, where you too for the trifling cost of $1900 can have your own blood injected into your clitoris and vagina for health or recreation.

Any nervousness I felt about the procedure vanished when I met the spa's doctor, Dr. George. He was patient, thorough, kind, and also hilarious. I pointed to an award on his wall. "Oh," I said, "you won most compassionate doctor." George laughed, "Yeah in 2013. The real question you have to ask yourself is what I've been doing lately!"
I would have laughed harder, but the numbing cream applied to my ladybits had me gripped in a paroxysm of total fear.
The O-Shot was designed by Dr. Charles Runels, the same man responsible for the Vampire Facelift, and the general procedure follows the same guidelines. Your blood is taken and put through a centrifuge where plasma rich platelets are separated from the rest of your "garbage blood".
Then, using two shots, these platelets are injected into your clitoris and vagina. The idea here is that they encourage stem cell growth and make you feel more sensitive and more aroused. Some people get the shot once a year, but some believe that just getting it done once will be all you need.
My boyfriend Buddy came with me to film the entire encounter for YourTango's Facebook Live. He was lovely and supportive and insanely eager to try out my fancy "Two thousand dollar cunt job" as he called it, albeit fondly.
For some women, the shot does nothing. For others, it's life-changing. I fell somewhere in the middle. The shot doesn't require any healing time. I went from my appointment back to work where I feasted on a burger and strategically blocked creeps on Facebook.

That evening, Buddy and I got to work testing out the new car, as it were. I had felt horny all day, tingly, hyper aware of my clit and weirdly, of my G-spot. Our sex was like our usual sex, but turned up, as Spinal Tap would say, to 11.
My junk felt swollen and sensitive, like that weird giddy feeling when your leg has fallen asleep and it just starts to wake up. My boyfriend said he could feel a difference which was neat, but I could have done without his scientific reporting while he was still inside of me.
If the O-Shot had such a strong effect on me (and it's continued to rock my sex life), then I can't even begin to imagine what a godsend it must be for people suffering from sexual dysfunction who are in need of help.
And for the record, there's a P-Shot too. I have yet to decide whether or not I am going to put my boyfriend through that.
Depends on just how charming he is in the next couple of days or so, I suppose. But don't worry, we'll keep you posted.
7 No-Pain Tips For Anal Sex Beginners (Who Are A Little Scared)

Anal sex can be intimidating at first, but you can make it easier.
Anal sex can be such a fun, exciting and super-pleasurable experience. However, lots of people get it so wrong that anal sex has a bad name. Some people try to avoid having anal sex altogether.
That's why I've put together this guide on how to prepare for anal sex to teach you exactly how to get ready for and have incredibly pleasurable anal sex with your man. First, I'm going to cover the ground rules of preparing for anal sex, which you absolutely can't avoid, like staying clean and safe. Then, I'm going to discuss how to actually make it happen. Let's get to it.
The reason so many people never want to try anal sex with their partner is because they think it will be messy, unsexy or even unsafe. Follow these guidelines during your anal sex preparation and you will never have to worry about it being messy or unsexy.

1. First, make sure you are clean.
This first part is crucial. You need to start by making sure to use the bathroom. In the days leading up to anal sex, it's a good idea to avoid Mexican food or any food that will give you a loose stool. I know it's obvious, but some people totally forget about this. After you clean yourself on the inside, it's time to clean your outside, too. This is usually a case of just having a shower.
2. Use the proper lubricant.

Some people think that just because you can't get pregnant from anal sex means you don't need a condom. If you are not both 100 percent monogamous or have been tested, you need to wear a condom. Catching an STI from anal sex is very possible. This is especially true if it's the receiving partner's first time, due to very small skin tears in the anus and rectum.
Choosing the right condom and lubricant is also crucial when learning how to prepare for anal sex. If you are using a latex rubber condom, then you must NOT use an oil-based lubricant. Oils will degrade the latex condom, making it highly likely that it will tear, something you absolutely don't want to happen. So remember to choose a water-based lube when using latex condoms.
3. Don't do anything you feel forced into.
One of the biggest problems when preparing for anal sex is that guys can develop an obsession with it. It could be because he's curious, he wants to tell his friends "I've had anal sex," or it could be any other reason.
That's perfectly fine, but you absolutely should never feel forced to have anal sex with anyone. Just because your man is insisting on it doesn't mean that you have to do it with him. If you really don't want to try it, then don't. It's as simple as that.
4. Learn to relax your sphincter muscle.
At the entrance of your anus is your anal sphincter. This muscle plays a crucial role in how much you enjoy anal sex with your man. This muscle isn't like others. It can't relax very quickly; instead, it takes quite a while to fully relax, but once it does, it can stretch quite a bit. When it's tight, it's very tight. So during your anal sex prep, you need to set aside some time to allow your sphincter to relax comfortably.

If your man just tries to enter you without allowing you to first relax, then you're going to have a very painful time. A good way to start getting it to relax is to first slip a lubed finger in there. Then, hold it in place for a few minutes and just relax. You'll notice after a while that your sphincter just naturally loosens up.
As it does, try slipping in a second lubed finger. Again, wait a few minutes and you'll notice your sphincter muscle starting to relax further. Now you don't have to use your fingers and can use clean butt plugs or dildos instead. The key is to allow your sphincter to relax enough so you can fit your man's penis comfortably in you.
5. And then take a little time to prepare yourself mentally.
Obviously, anal sex is quite different to vaginal sex. The biggest difference is how it feels for both of you. For the receiver, it can be quite unpleasant at first, especially if your partner doesn't understand how your anatomy works. That's why finding time to relax beforehand is important.
6. Ease into it.

You should both start in the doggy style position, with your man upright and still while you are on all fours. This way you will have full control of how fast and deep you take him. Remember: He absolutely must stay still at first. As you loosen up and become more comfortable, you can start allowing him to thrust into you. Just make sure he doesn't get too caught up and forget that you need to control the pace.

7 Jaw-Dropping Facts About Orgasms You NEVER Knew

By Sujeiry Gonzalez
An orgasm is a wonderful thing. Its sole intention is to make us feel good, nothing more, nothing less. Orgasms don’t even discriminate. Whether you're Latina, Caucasian, pale-skinned or dark-skinned, or short, tall, or small, you can have an orgasm. Our bodies are built for us to experience the toe-curling pleasure that is the Big O.
But how many of us actually have orgasms on a regular basis?
No matter what our relationship status, the orgasm is there, waiting to be titillated and released. It wants to burst, but many women don’t even come close.
It’s just not fair, mujeres and neither are these surprising facts about orgasms and why there’s such a gap between men and women and how often we cum.
1. Women are fakers
According to a Lifestyles study, 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm. This is no bueno! If we fake it, men will keep using the same moves, swerving and gyrating to please us yet never actually satisfying us sexually. Speak up! Tell him what you like. Shout it at the top of your lungs as if you’re having an orgasm.
2. Hookups don't lead to orgasms
If you’re in a relationship, you’re in luck because 80 percent of you climax as often as the men in your lives. The bad news is for women who love to hook up. Only 33 percent of women experience an orgasm during a first-time hookup. If you keep sleeping with the same guy here and there, your chances at the Big O are about 50 percent.

3. Men have longer orgasms
No matter how good a woman feels after experiencing an orgasm, a man will feel...better? Well, just for a little longer. The Lifestyles study discovered that a man’s orgasm lasts 4 seconds longer than a woman’s. It doesn’t seem like a long time, but when you’re high off serotonin and oxytocin, a few seconds can feel like a lifetime of pleasure.
4. Masturbation is awesome
If you don’t know, now you know! One in two women admit that their first orgasm occurred during a masturbation session. I am an advocate for feeling yourself, as Beyonce sings. So do so literally! It not only teaches you about your body but it also scratches that itch. And it feels so good when you reach it.
5. Exercising is key
Now we have another reason besides summer to hit the gym - orgasms! Women who exercise are half as likely to have difficulty achieving orgasm. So pump some iron, run that treadmill, or shake your hips during a zumba workout — you’re going to have great sex!
6. Men are easy

At least when it comes to having an orgasm. It turns out men just need to rub and tug for 2 minutes or less to cum! 3 in 4 men reported that’s how easy it is for them to have an orgasm. Women definitely got the short end of the stick on this one.
7. Women can always be turned on
giphy
There’s this thing called the refractory period. This is the time where a man cannot be aroused after orgasm. His body just cannot respond to sexual stimuli. How long does this period last? On average, 30 minutes. Women, however, don’t have to wait. Like men, we need rest after we orgasm, but we can be turned on soon after. This may just be the best surprising fact of this entire study. There’s hope for us yet!

I Masturbated Every Day For A Week And This Is What Happened
Take your pleasure into your own hands — literally!
As told to Ronnie Koenig
The last thing Lydia*, 44, a busy mom of five, was interested in was self-love. But with her sex drive at an all-time low, she decided to take charge and see if she could jump-start her libido by masturbating every day. Here's what happened.
When I was younger, masturbation was an exciting part of discovering my sexuality. Two husbands and 5 years later, it became something that I literally never did. With work, kids, taking care of the house, and my serious cooking hobby, who has time for self-love?
My interest in sex had plummeted. I lived in fear of the "M" word (menopause)—would my lady parts become as dry as the Sahara soon?
A good friend of mine (who happens to have a hot sex life) told me recently that if you don't use it you lose it. Not ready to lose anything, I decided to embark on a week of solo love.
Sunday
After pancake breakfast, soccer games, and music lessons, I finally had an hour of alone time (the hubs agreed to take everyone out, though he had no idea what I was about to get up to!). I lay down on our bed, lit a few candles for good measure and got undressed. I have to admit, I felt super awkward at first—it was almost like I was a stranger to my own body.
Using some lube that I found in the back of my dresser drawer (it had probably expired in the '90s) really helped get things going. After about 5 minutes, a wave of pleasure washed over my entire body. Oh yeah, I remembered this!

When Dan* came back with the kids he asked me what was up with the silly grin on my face. I kept my little secret to myself—though I have to admit I was in a much better mood the rest of the day!
Monday
I spent all morning worrying about how I was going to fit my masturbation in for the day. I told my friend about my worries and she said, "Just do it in the shower!"

After Tabata class, I hopped in the shower and reacquainted myself with our handheld shower head and its many different settings. Masturbating with water was much more intense than when I did it myself the day before. With the water pressure so consistently strong on my clitoris, I came in record time.
Tuesday

After a power walk with friends, I hit the bathroom and gave myself another shower with a happy ending. Coming was starting to feel almost like a reward—I was starting to look forward to it! Wondered what Dan would think about all of this.
Wednesday
With the kids asleep and a bottle of wine opened, I told Dan about my mission for the week and he was very intrigued, to say the least. It had been about a week since we'd had sex. Truthfully, it's usually something I do just to keep us connected. But tonight, my libido was definitely stronger than usual.

Instead of our usual quick sex and fall asleep routine, we both masturbated and Dan told me he was super turned on watching me. I started to think—what if Dan was the one masturbating every day for a week? I thought it would piss me off, but I wasn't sure why.
Thursday
I went to bed at my usual time but with thoughts of the day racing, I just couldn't fall asleep. I remembered reading something about how masturbation actually has health benefits, like easing PMS symptoms and helping some women get to sleep. With Dan snoring beside me, I quietly rubbed one out (all the while fantasizing about Channing Tatum. Yep, I've seen Magic Mike more than a few times).
I fell into a deep sleep, with no one the wiser to my undercover activities.
Friday

With the house to myself in the morning, I decided to break out my rabbit vibrator, a gift from my bachelorette party that I'm sorry to say went pretty much unused until now. During my first marriage, I was really hung up on the fact that I could never come from intercourse alone. The rabbit had changed my life, showing me that it really is all about the clit! Even though the batteries died half way through my self-love sesh, it did make me think that it's ok to start incorporating stuff like this into everyday life.
Saturday

On the last day of my experiment, Dan and I went out on date night, then came home and had sex, which ended with me masturbating to climax. I have to admit, I did feel a lot more at ease touching myself—and it felt great.
Going forward, I won't put pressure on myself to masturbate every single day, but I will definitely keep up my private shower sessions. I figure, not only does it feel good, it's a great stress reliever and who knows, it might even help keep me looking young.

I would highly recommend taking the time to masturbate every once in a while. It's also pretty cool to be reminded that sexuality is not just something that your partner gives you or that you do in the confines of a relationship. It's literally in your own hands.

During my first marriage, I was really hung up on the fact that I could never come from intercourse alone. The rabbit had changed my life, showing me that it really is all about the clit! Even though the batteries died half way through my self-love sesh, it did make me think that it's ok to start incorporating stuff like this into everyday life.
Saturday

On the last day of my experiment, Dan and I went out on date night, then came home and had sex, which ended with me masturbating to climax. I have to admit, I did feel a lot more at ease touching myself—and it felt great.
Going forward, I won't put pressure on myself to masturbate every single day, but I will definitely keep up my private shower sessions. I figure, not only does it feel good, it's a great stress reliever and who knows, it might even help keep me looking young.

I would highly recommend taking the time to masturbate every once in a while. It's also pretty cool to be reminded that sexuality is not just something that your partner gives you or that you do in the confines of a relationship. It's literally in your own hands.

Masturbating At Work Is The Newest Trend For Horny Employees

Wank on, America.
Offices all over the country are offering crazy perks to attract employees.
From free lunch to Friday night beers, office perks are definitely nice.
Google has its own shuttle to take employees to work, as well as early screenings of movies.
Disney allegedly has a huge cafeteria full of dispensers of candy and your favorite cereals.
But the newest trend in office perks could prove to put folks in a sticky situation.
Sticky because they will be covered with sperm and/or vaginal juices.
That's right, masturbation is what's on the menu at work these days.
According to a recent survey, 40% of people masturbate during the work day.
HOW HAVE I NEVER ONCE WALKED IN ON SOMEONE ENTERING THE PLEASURE ZONE THEN, SURVEY?
I've only ever masturbated at one job.
Well, two, if you count this one.
The first one I was literally the only person in the building, in my early twenties, single and dripping raw sex, so frankly that fact that the craziest thing I did during this time was to masturbate in the bathroom is actually a bit of a relief.
I haven't technically masturbated while on the clock for YourTango, but I mean, I work from home, so technically yes, masturbation has occurred in my workplace.

Still, if ever there was a job where I'd feel comfortable testing this theory, it's this one.
Hygiene and social mores aside, there are actually a lot of benefits to jerking one out (by which I mean masturbating) at the office.
Though we have to warn you, of course, that masturbating at work could theoretically be considered sexual harassment — if someone walked in on you or you did it up in other people's space.
But assuming you do it right, psychologist Mark Sergeant says that masturbating at work is a great way to "relief stress and tension."
Plus it's so much more fun than a brisk walk around the block.

Life coach Cliff Arnall thinks masturbating at work might have even more great benefits:
"I would expect a masturbation policy to result in more focus, less aggression, higher productivity, and more smiling."
I mean, I can't disagree, but like, wouldn't you get the same results from giving your employees free chocolate?
And the added benefit of eliminating the awkwardness of everyone knowing that Terry from accounting is looking chipper because he's just finished jerking it in the men's room?
Still, I guess subbing in masturbation for cupcakes or other free snacks could have its perks.
Fewer calories, for one thing.
The big concern for me would be actually being able to reach an orgasm.
It's one thing to masturbate freely in your own home, it's another thing entirely to masturbate within the confines of your workplace, where your boss could at any second burst through the door.

Trying to take a masturbation break at work and then being unable to orgasm could, if anything, be the exact opposite of a restorative break.
Though I guess practices could, in theory, make perfect.
By which I mean masturbation practice.
