Masturbation Survey: Part One
60 people detailed how they touch themselves and I'm sharing the best with you.
I received 60 responses to this year’s solo pleasure survey, which is a small sample size but people gave a lot so I feel the survey is fruitful. I hope you enjoy reading these responses as much as I did—the survey findings are going to come in two parts because it was too hard for me to narrow down responses to share—there were so many good ones!
And watch out in the next few weeks for solo pleasure pieces: I selected 4 people from the survey to do a deep dive with audio + imagery telling us exactly how they touch themselves.
The diversity of “jobs” people have is pretty fun! I know “you are not your job” (except I am) but here’s a look at the work people who filled out this survey do:
Receptionist, software programmer, photographer, health care worker, teacher, unemployed, life coach, hypnotherapist, actor, luxury wedding planner, actor/bartender, grad student, artist, finance guy, political staffer, digital marketer, musician, therapist, insurance broker, BDSM educator, poet, aesthete, homesteading village witch, business student, “Just a blue-collar worker using power tools in office spaces,” sex worker, finance girly, archivist, car sales woman, and many more!
When asked to describe their sexuality, survey takers said:
Fluid and malleable
Straight but always pushing any boundaries society has made
High sexual energy. Attracted toward women and fem forms. Straight.
Heteroflexible. Consider me a pillow princess with men
I feel like I’m in my sexual prime so I try to please as many consenting women as I can.
Queer? I’m into most types of folks, but I incline towards genderfuckery and androgyny
Love the penis but curious about some girl on girl
Straight horny AF female in her 40’s 😂
been without a partner or spouse for almost 30 years so I have been masturbating to images, stories, and videos of women for all that time.
Omnisexual with some acespec characteristics
I claim to be straight. But I rarely watch straight porn.
Heterosexual with a splash of bi when inspired
Straight and like to have woman explore their desires.
Straight male with queer-ish undertones
I love women, but more often than not, I crave men. It drives me insane, this craving. I wish my sexuality was more easily categorized. Men should repulse me with the way they’ve treated me, with the way they treat so many women. Yet I constantly want them inside of me, where I’m hot and tight.
Heterosexual high drive that started very very early. Hard to understand it or comprehend how to channel it until much later in life. Kept it hidden until a tantric awakening. Realized there was a family shadow around sexuality and tantra allowed it to exist in the light.
Decidedly bi-curious. Always a serial monogamist, always with men - but also, always felt that women were crazily more attractive sexually and have had my fair share of bi-panic induced obsessions with female friends and lesbian acquaintances.
I’m a bisexual femme female.
queer, t4t, polyamorous—i’m transmasc with a transfem partner at the moment, and on occasion i’ll hook up with a friend or stranger of whatever non-cis gender. hot take: sex with your friends is kind of great.
Very straight. Over the years I have considered if I was partly attracted to men, though I am not. However, I am attracted to trans women, though of course they are women, so that makes sense.
Straight & monogamous, but seriously considering friendly sexual encounters with women and other men (perhaps at the same time!).
Bisexual - I love high femmes and thick himbos
Demisexual, pansexual, queer, lover of communication, rooe, poetry and ex domme. Switch, service top, impact giver and receiver, power play professional.
Have been straight throughout life. Exploring it and open to experimenting
I used to think I was bisexual because I was attracted to girls who look like guys growing up but I’m very straight now
Mostly straight, though I’ve veered in the past
Queer, especially attracted to people with vulvas, seem to be primarily attracted to non binary people, shared sensuality and reverence and shared values being central turn ons. Was married to my high school sweetheart, a cis straight man, and had a lot of sex /wanted sex often. We tried in some ways at the time to have a more satisfying n/healthier relationship and sex life, but the relationship and sex was not very healthy and not especially satisfying or connecting. I wasn’t especially attracted to him ever, but also would get turned on and wanted to have sex. But it didn’t feel like the way I’m really attracted to some other people, including future partners. I’m curious about a good friend of mine who is a cis but gender bending queer man right now, who the topic of romantic/sexual relationship has come up with, but not sure how I feel about him. I’m not sure if I’m attracted to people with penises or not. Or at least, if I can be attracted to them in the same way I can be attracted to afab non-binary people I’ve been atttacted to or had a sexual relationship with. I have a lot of trauma which affects my sex life and my confidence in myself sexually, so that’s been somewhat of a rollercoaster over the years for me. Steadying now, but haven’t had much recent sexual experience
autogynephiliac: my strongest sexual fantasies are about being/becoming a woman (but I am not trans b/c I haven’t transitioned)
I am attracted to tall, wild men and aroused by moderately taboo scenarios with such creatures…
