Absolutely. Now more than ever.

Beware though that after a person dies it doesn't matter what they did or didn't.

For some people masturbation just isn't good enough. There's more fun and variety with another person for some people--alot more to do, be done, and the companionship as well. I never had sex, and it's just solo for me. But hell, even I get bored with it. But it's all I have, so yeah, i'd be lying if I said I didn't do it. But I think it pales in comparison to being with a man--one who cares about me mind you, thus wouldn't be selfish in bed.

So with sexual, you can do the basic--ya know. But some love another person's touch--touch and be touched. And sometimes it's nice to be able to lay back and let your partner work and you can fully enjoy. With masturbation it's more work, and you can't really relax and enjoy. Least I can't.

Another woman I know says she absolutely hates masturbation. And many guys I spoke to say they do engage, but it is lame compared to sex with woman--or man.

So, it's a difference of people. Some prefer to do it themselves rather than dealing with someone else. Others prefer sex and hate masturbation, and the latter is only a last resort.

And there's the emotional aspects as well, which is more for some women. The emotional closeness with someone. Being attracted to them, and really liking or loving them, and having that time with them which can just be the height of pleasure and enjoyment. With solo, it's ok, but nothing emotional about. Lol least no positive emotions lol

So, it depends on the people. So I can agree the post you quoted spoke a bit too freely, because not everyone is that way where they have to date or see others to get sexual fulfillment.

I am just responding to your point on masturbation, and why it's simply not that great for some. It's great for some. Lucky for you that you enjoy it so much and don't need another person. But for some, like me, it's just eck. So dating and a relationship, and an actual man, is much more fulfilling than solo.

So, mainly kind of understanding the other party. I can totally see why some prefer masturbation to sex, even though I am not one of them. lol I do understand it though.

I'm aware of that. I was curious to see if s/he was one of those people and the reason why s/he thinks only asexuals would be satisfied with never going on a date to fulfill sexual urges. It seems as if s/he didn't consider that some heterosexuals/homosexuals could fulfill sexual urges with masturbation as if sex was the sole way unless one is asexual.

Let me fix that for you....

"after a person dies it doesn't matter what they did or didn't in my opinion."

Obviously many folks do not agree with that opinion, but you are certainly free to hold on to it as tightly as you like

Yeah. I did agree previously that wasn't a wise post. Simply some love being alone, others hate it, and some tolerate it. Dating, relationships, and/or sex. I agree,

Hmm I didn't see it as a matter of being a wise post or not. I was just curious to his/her reasoning for thinking that.

Really can't see why it's "in my opinion". After a person dies it's finished, no more. So it doesn't really matter id the person was single or married, had kids or not, all the issues concerning that person cease to exist.

I actually share your opinion but at the end of the day it is just an opinion and not everyone will feel to same way. Everyone should respect each other's opinions.
