How often do guys...

Girl here, so I don't know all that much either, but I've heard that teenage guys jerk off several times a day, like three or something. Given, I wouldn't have any way to know just how accurate that is... ^^;

I don’t know how much help this will be, but I have been married twice and had a teenaged son (now 24). I have on many occasions heard my son and his step dad talk about morning wood and it appears to be almost a daily thing for my son – it is for my husband. I’m sure my son masturbates, but I don’t he’d tell me. However, for my husband he said that he never stopped since his teen years and it’s still a daily thing for him.

Most guys I’ve ever known (I have always been the chick who was always the friend that guys talked to about their gf’s) said that they did it every morning. I figure it’s as common for guys as it is for girls when it comes to masturbation, but more so for some than others. As far as morning wood, that can be from hormones or needing the bathroom when they first wake up.

~ I'm not obnoxious - I m tact challenged.

Oh yeah, I forgot the amount. I understand that there is no such thing as too many times for teens and apparently this applies for some men too. Pick what feels right for your characters because it will vary with each person.

~"No, YOU suck" - the mean people.

hi there. i'm a male person, and older than 20something, i'm afraid, but i don't think it's at all unrealistic to wake up with morning wood every day. i do, just about every day, unless i'm waking from a nightmare or something. and i don't think i'm all that unusual, at least in that respect. :)

I agree with above poster. Waking up WITHOUT morning wood would be an unusual occurence. But bear in mind that a "morning wood" erection is not the same as a "sexually aroused" erection. It would be difficult for a guy to wake up with morning wood and just masturbate. And he probably wouldn't want to - I mean, he just woke up, can you please just let him go urinate first? ;)

Also, teenage boys, after the age of 14 or 15, are likely to masturbate once per day, minimum. Three times per day would be probably too much - at least on a daily basis - but there may be a couple times each week when a teenage boy will masturbate multiple times in one day.

I think that's all reasonable. Wood pretty much every single morning for me, and I jerk the gherkin every bit as often - i.e. at least daily - as when I was 15 or whatever (I'm now 33). It actually annoys me when people refer to stuff like "what teenage boys do when they're left alone". We're all horny as hell the whole time. I assume forever.

Morning wood seems to be related to (but not completely from?) bladder pressure. I also find I get it more when I wear jeans to bed, but yeah, daily would be fine. More times than they sleep might be pushing it.

Masturbation... at the lowest, a couple weeks without, at most six a day, but normal is about daily.

I have to disagree with the above: if there's no actual reason to get up (work, school, woman kicking you out of bed), there's definitely no reason to waste a good hard-on, and I can lie in bed amusing myself with it for hours on weekends.

Morning-after sex, with a full bladder, is some of the best sex!

Dunno about 16 year old but my 12 year old jerks off about once an hour... or at least it seems like he does!

Um, just out of curiosity, Toshirodragon, how do you know this? Again, I don't have the pleasure of knowing anything about guys jerking off and, thank god, have never heard/walked in on/etc. either of my brothers doing it so...

Um, completely off-topic, but why would you ever wear jeans to bed? For some inexplicable reason, I find the thought incredibly sexy. :-}

Now that's useful to know. My MMC is a horny 20-year-old and I'm always looking for interesting tidbits about male habits. Thank you!

Morning Wood: Nineteen times out of Twenty

Jerking said Wood: One or Two times out of twenty.

Jacking off is probably a daily occurence, unless he feels really guilty about it, as some boys do, in which case he might be able to keep it down to every other day (that was my standard for minimum sinfulness at the time). More than once per day is not unreasonable. Occasionally, he might do it three, four or more times in a single day, but those are for special occasions of extra horniness, such as might be caused by skipping one or more days, or seeing or thinking something really sexy, or just hormones, who knows.

The "morning wood" thing is a bit odd -- I think "Wake-up wood" would be a more accurate term. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the morning. It could be after a nap, or it could just as easily be before going to sleep -- you're lying down, your comfortable, you're partially undressed, and your mind is free to wander. Natually this condition will lead to many erections and, often as not, masturbation. This is especially true if you fall asleep horny, because you're likely to wake up horny if you do.

Regardless, wake-up wood may not lead to an orgasm -- it's common to idly fantasize and give yourself a little pleasure while you're still horizontal, but in the morning you might be sleepy, obligated to get up for school, or have to go to the bathroom and the erection will probably go away as soon as you get up. You might not even notice an erection before it goes away, if it was there at all.

And yes, it's possible to wake up with an erection every morning for two weeks... for almost every day of you life, for that matter. It isn't unusual to come to in the morning kind of pleasuring yourself in a half awake state. But getting an erection for biological reasons (bladder, rubbing against the sheets, or whatever) doesn't necessitate jacking off or even necessarily cause sexual arousal.

I've heard from my guy friends that a guy can wake up with a "piss-erection," where if he masturbates with it he feels like he still has to pee all day. True, or are my friends anomalies who overshare?

Does circumcision affect this? I'm wondering if foreskin might prevent tactile over-stimulation.

I hope that was "clinical" enough! :-P I'm writing in a fantasy world where there is no circumcision.

Well, being that I don’t personally have a penis, circumcised or otherwise, I may not be the best source of information, but essentially, a penis is a penis, and what feels good for a man who’s circumcised will generally feel good for a man who’s uncircumcised (generally. Not taking any chances in making an ass of myself). I can’t imagine how a foreskin, or a lack thereof, would increase or decrease how often this, erm, affliction (if you’ve got somewhere to go in the mornings?) takes place.

There’s also the fact that morning wood isn’t necessarily a sexual thing and doesn’t have as much to do with stimulation as your typical waking erection. It’s often something that just happens during REM sleep, when your inhibitions are down and your brain is off doing it’s thing and has more important things to bother with than keeping your dick down out of courtesy for A) yourself when there’s no one else around judging you, or B) your partner or, most likely, a person who’s seen you naked dozens (understatement) of times. It doesn’t even mean that you’ve been having erotic dreams. And he might only have a full bladder. But that’s just my two cents.

You really ought to read up on that wonderful little sexual organ known as the foreskin. :-) I don't have a penis either, but I've heard quite a bit about the long-term effects of circumcision. Lack of a foreskin leaves the sensitive head exposed to all kinds of stimulation it would otherwise be protected from. Someone mentioned being stimulated by the feel of a bed-sheet and so I'm just wondering if the foreskin might factor into the whole morning-wood discussion.

Ah, yes, I'm aware of this, but... *points nervously at second paragraph* Being that this is probably more of an unconscious thing than it is a reaction to sexual arousal, outside stimulation may not play as big a role. That was what I meant to get at. My apologies for failing to clarify <(^__^;;<)

There is lots of info about morning wood and what causes it, so you really don't have to make uneducated guesses about something you don't have or never will experience.

You'd better be careful about your foreskin comments. the difference between cut and uncut is far more significant than you can imagine. a little bit of math (and a spare penis) will help you understand how much skin and sexual tissue is actually missing from a cut penis. I won't go into the specifics, but basic geometry is all you need to know to calculate it. (and of course an erect penis to measure).

Keep in mind that this is also not just skin that is missing. it is a highly specialized sexually receptive organ. the vast majority of the sexually receptive area is removed during male genital mutilation (circumcision), and 100% of the ridged band, a distinct sexual organ, is removed. wikipedia ridged band will tell you about it. the image is graphic so I won't directly link to it.

Having a penis myself, I can answer the original poster's specific question, that no, an erection each morning for two weeks straight is not at all uncommon. An erection each morning for a year straight is not especially noteworthy either.

I'm not sure where you are going with the erections in the morning concept, but if you plan on incorporating sex into the morning ritual, there are some plumbing issues you need to be aware of. Typically, a guy will ahve to pee in the morning, and this is a factor to consider when having sex. also, your blood pressure is very low upon waking, and since you are horizontal with that erection, once you stand up, your blood basically starts draining out of the penis quite rapidly. This is not always the case, but can sometimes be an issue if you expect to do something productive with that erection. At any rate, it gives you some options to play with, so to speak.

To answer your question about masturbation, if you mean in general, how often, it's not uncommon for a given male to masturbate multiple times a day. Men have sexual cycles as well, so it may come and go, so to speak. not all men do this of course, I'm sure there are a few men out there who don't at all (good luck finding them). But you have flexibility here too for your characters, as the range of normal masturbatory behavior stretches from not at all to a few times a day.

Now, if you meant, how often to guys jerk off with morning wood, well, I can say that the two biggest factors that determine the frequency of that behavior are a) how much time do you have on your hands (after waking) and b) are you alone or comfortable doing it in front of the person next to you...I guess what I'm trying to say here is that morning wood is not really a problem; in fact, guys typically will seize the opportunity with gusto...

I masturbated six times a day as a teenager for about two years. That was every morning, lunchtime (I was a home lunch) after school, after dinner, about eightish and before bed (11ish). I would have fitted more in if I had more time, an did on weekends. Nowadays I don't always wake hard but as a teeny it was every day. But morning wood lasts me an age, and I either have to pee or mast to get it gone. I feel no pressing need to do either, except the tightness in my jeans when I dress myself. Morning sex is the best.

I might be an anomaly but just to let people know that there are people like me. I very rarely wake up with 'morning wood' and have only jacked off once or twice in my life. It's not that I feel guilty about it, or that I have no sex drive, it just doesn't appeal to me.

Yeah, a dry well sounds right. I had a boring gf free teen life.

And yes, morning wood is, um "harder" than other wood and more uncomfy.

Yeah, me too. No gf or bf, so it was boring, but then I really did not care so much - it gave me plenty of time to figure out what I liked.

I like morning wood because it 'is' harder, but then I benefit from it.

~Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me.

woman here, my boyfriend sometimes likes to wake me up with his morning wood which is not an unpleasant way to wake up in all honesty, although I do have my own problems with excessive vaginal fluid leakage if I've had some especially erotic dreams!

Yeah, while you guys have morning wood to deal with, some of us females have morning dripage. Most often, it all works out in the end. So, It is fair to say that both sexes have their morning emission issues and for the record, some females can have their own version of morning wood, but it doesn’t show as well.

~ I tried to wrestle my inner demons once... but they used too many illegal holds.

When I was hanging around on hentai (anime porn) forums a couple of years ago, there were always threads about how many times a day guys jerked off, and a lot of them did it a lot - I can't remember numbers, but some guys claimed they were doing it way more than six times a day, if they could. I was impressed (and envious.) Ages on those forums seem to range from 15 to 30, as far as I could tell, but mostly in the teens and early 20's.

Sometimes as a teen I would decide to test my limits and see how many times I could jack off in a twenty four hour period. I set records at 5, 6, 7, and finally at 10 orgasms in one day. Maybe I could have done more, but I decided to let that record stand.

I had always assumed that the cops parked on the side of the road were beating off, but, to my surprise, my husband tells me it's not necessarily true. In fact, I always assumed that men were beating off whenever they were bored and had nothing else to do, and again, not necessarily true.

I am a fifteen year old guy! i wake up every day with morning wood. I can't remember a day it hasn't happened since...three years or so! I have masturbated at least once a day since I was eleven. Occasionall it was twice a day.
