A girl's best friend . . . ?

Big Nikki here.

Let's talk about a girl's best friend, her good right hand.

On another thread I ran across a mention of a woman who was unable to have orgasms while masturbating, and that led to some harmful catting around.

Sent me thinking about a topic I muse about from time to time. The importance and value of masturbation.

There's an old saying about don't to grocery shopping on an empty stomach (you'll impulse-buy all the wrong things).

We have single (vanilla) women friends who are hoping to find a real mate. (Who doesn't have those friends?) I always tell them -- don't go on a date horny. Masturbate like crazy first. Then your brain and your heart will tell you if you like the guy, not your crotch.

So, can I start a discussion here? Not about masturbation in general, but specifically about masturbation as a prophylactic (to use that interesting word) against bad sexual choices.

Folks, chime in with some opinions.

I've posted many times that I don't masturbate. Every so often I try again and every time I end up frustrated. Last fall I came close but still not quite. I just wanted to arch my back and grab something but then that would mean no more stimulation so I couldn't get all the way to climax. I think it's a mental thing too. When know my partner is enjoying himself too that helps put me over the edge. I orgasm better through vaginal orgasm (I know, I'm weird) and I derive less excitment from plastic. I lose that excitement of my partner feeling me back.

Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out but I try to not worry about it anymore. I don't feel like it changes my sexual choices otherwise. I don't have sex or have an orgasm for some type of pent up sexual release. I never find myself needing an orgasm so bad I need to do something about it and put myself into a risky situation for that release.

But then again, I say the opposite about grocery shopping. If I'm full when I go I'm disinterested and hardly buy anything. If I go hungry I actually end up with a full cart and don't have to make another trip later on that week. I still make good food choices regardless.
