Is masturbating with other people wrong?

[Jordan in DFW]

Me and my roomate are both guys and are both straight and maturbate in front of eachother and sometimes masturbate eachother is this normal or are we just a bunch of freaks?

Doing a circle jerk is kind of alright but jacking each other off may be pushing the boundaries a little.

If you are both completely straight then I would find it OK I guess.

I think the reason you both accept it being OK is becasue it is impulse. You find the need for pleasure and that is what you want and when that is done you are over those feelings of needing to get off from one another.

I guess it is completely OK this to me seems like a gray area in the rules. Just be prepared in case of something changes that you don't like.

You didn't mention your age. ???

It's pretty normal for adolescents to experiment with stuff like this.

I don't know about adults.

If women do it, most people think nothing of it. If men do it, it's considered gay by many people.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

If you are enjoying it then try not to worry about any bigger meaning. I don't think there's anything wrong with jacking one another off, either.

It isn't uncommon for heterosexual men to have occasional encounters with other men. It just isn't admitted or talked about very often.

Go ahead. Enjoy yourselves.

I'm sorry...I don't mean any disrespect, but i'm having a hard time believing this information.

Where are you getting this information?

If it isn't admitted or talked about, how do you know?

Do you think all those men hanging around truck stops, highway rest stops, and adult bookstores consider themselves gay? No, most of them are married or have girlfriends. Then there's the military and prison populations.

According to Kinsey, approximately 37% of males had at least one same-sex experience leaving to orgasm during their lives.

In a recent study in Australia 9% of women and 6% of men admitted to homosexual experiences. That's not as high but it still significantly above the percentage of homosexuals in the population which is more accurately reported at around 2%.

So perhaps it isn't terribly high as a percentage but it is clear to me that it isn't uncommon, either. You might check Craig's List and see how many notices there are for married men who want to have a "different" experience.

Maybe you guys are Bisexual. Jacking each other off regularly, not just once and being attracted to women sounds like Bisexuality to me. As Slittylicker said people see it as normal for women but for men they are gay. It is the same with women imo

First of all, the percentage of adult gays are around 10% of the male population. That percentage holds true for almost all mammal populations. For the last 30 years, the Fundamentalists have been putting out that the gays represent only about 2% of the adult population, but that's simply not true. Stick with science.

If the sex research done by Kinsey in the late 40's was accurate, then about 80% of the adult male population are varying degrees of bisexual. That does NOT mean that all those guys will "act out" or have a homosexual experience... just that it's possible given timing and opportunity.

With that said, it's not unusual for males or females to experiment during adolescence... (through around age 26 to be exact). Are you gay or bi? I don't know. A BIG misconception is that having gay-type sex will turn you homosexual. Not true.

Here's the trick to find out IF you're gay or not. Your sexuality is not determined by who you go to bed and have sex with... it's about who you're thinking about when you're having sex. We're not talking about a single experience here, but over a protracted period of time. If you think about both males and females, maybe you're bisexual. If it's mostly women you think about when having sex with your roommate, well, you're probably straight. I hope this helps.

[slittylicker]

it's about who you're thinking about when you're having sex.

Yes...Like I said before...be true to yourself. Only you know what's really going on inside your head. Nobody else can determine that.

Do you think all those men hanging around truck stops, highway rest stops, and adult bookstores consider themselves gay? No, most of them are married or have girlfriends.

Most men don't go to these places to have sex with other men. There are a very small percentage of men who do it, though. This does not validate this practice. As well, it doesn't mean that straight men do it.
As far as being married or having girlfriends...that doesn't mean a guy isn't gay.
Governor McGreavy was married and he was a governor.

Ok, well since this is going to be debated I will have to answer your guy's question. Hopefully this will be the only time ever I have to talk about it becasue I don't go around telling everyone. It may also shed some new light on who I really am.

I have had this experience with another male but I was much much younger. Around 7-14 years of age. Some where in there. It did happen multiple times and different things happened here and there.

No, I am not gay by any means or bisexual. I do have a girlfriend, and I plan on never telling her this unless something really bad comes up in the future. I find it no one's business at all.

It was done strictly for pleasure and nothing more. Then we carried on our normal day of playing video games or what not.

Happy, I didn't want to expose this skeleton in my closet but I felt it necessary and almost did in my first post but I withheld my self.
