As an expert on this subject it is my obligation to point out that on the flip side it also takes 10-90 minutes off your valuable sleep time.

If it took me 90 minutes, I don't think I'd have the patience to do it.

Sounds to me like you need more practice to get that down to a manageable time.

I guess that would be what it sounds like to someone who mistakes an obvious joke for someone pointlessly sharing how they jack off.

Then again I wouldn't expect an amateur masturbator to get it.

They did straight up say 10 minutes as well. Sometimes it’s good to take your time.

Oy, no wonder it takes so long

You're telling me. I have to call a taxi just to get around her

That's like saying brushing your teeth takes time away from sleeping. You're supposed to plan ahead, especially because having established bedtime rituals helps you fall asleep.

this is why i pull my pants down and get started first thing in the morning, it means i'm ready to fall asleep by 19:00

If you do it right. For some it would be seconds, but that doesn't have the same benefits overall.

Anything over 2 minutes is noob-numbers.

How TF is this news? You'd have to be living in a chastity belt not to know this.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Or just have zero self reflection, which is actually more common than you might think...

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Or be actively shamed by your religion for even thinking about masturbation.

Happy cake day 🎉

[–] Janx@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

Is that a dig against vampires?? ☹️ It's not a choice...

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Oh, no - the fact so many are not self-aware or the least bit mindful is actually one of the more significant contributors to my depression. But I'd have thought people so deeply self-absorbed would be even more prone to self-pleasuring and aware of its pleasant (& useful) effects.

you don't say.

[–] Dzheyk@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

I mean..you didn't have to validate what I do but I will gladly accept it

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

I'll be in my bunk

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm all about that quality sleep.
