Oh, the wonders of linguistics.Īlthough most of us masturbate in the same way, there are a ton of male masturbation methods that produce a wide range of different sensations for your cock, some of which lead to mind-numbing explosive orgasms. In the UK, where I’m from, you might describe yourself as “having a wank”. There’s a bunch of different terms for spanking the monkey, whether it’s “jerking off”, “jacking it”, “tossing yourself off”, “busting a nut”, “stroking one’s salami” or “jerkin’ the gherkin”. I guess people don’t want to look like serial wankers when they’re taking a survey. Personally, I think that figure is a bit low.
In fact, another study found that 20.1% of men in their late 20s engage in solo male masturbation sessions 4+ times per week. One national US study found that 95% of men had masturbated at some point in their lives.
