Masturbation in College?

Contributor: SleepyPanda SleepyPanda
Okay, so I'm off to college soon and I'm really worried. I generally "pet the kitty" once or twice A DAY, and I'm not sure how this is going to work with living in a small space with very little privacy time...
Suggestions? Stories? Tips?

It's been over two years of college now for me, and I haven't really had a problem with it. If you've got a roommate, make sure you know their classes schedule (for example, I always posted my weekly schedule up on the wall and encouraged my roommie to do the same). This way, you know that the times that your roommate's in class are all-clear.

If you live in a single--lucky you! Do whatever you want, whenever the hell you want. If you don't want your neighbors to hear you through the paper-thin walls, then you might want to go with quiet/non-vibrating toys.

Foolproof discretion: take a toy into the shower. Your only limit is the size of your shower caddy and whether the toy is waterproof.

These are exactly the suggestions I was going to make, way to beat me to it, lol

yup.

If only there was a website that sold discreet sex toys you could get in the mail with very nondescript packaging. Maybe one that accepted Paypal? I dunno...

You could probably hide anything in a folded towel, or inside a bathrobe.

You could always get one of those remote control vibrating toys and wear it wherever you go and push the button whenever you want. Of course those probably work anywhere! Not just college!

I should invent a sex toy bath robe with internal hidden pockets for a horny students discretion, lol. Love the idea.

Waterproof toys girl! Nothing wrong with showering twice a day.

I actually have a personal store dedicated to people who need discreet options when it comes to their sex life: Discreet Desires
As someone who's experienced a variety of different college living situations for over three years now, I've tried to give my two cents about the best options for people who need a little privacy. Let me know if you need any advice or have any questions. I'm always willing to help

I guess now I just have to pray that my roomie and I don't have the same schedule! Thanks for the advice.

Ha! I wonder if people would know something was up... Spontaneous Orgasm Disorder?

Well I would think that with college, you might be real busy, flooded with homework, and tired from studying all the time that I wouldn't be surprised if your libido drops just a tad, which is natural. I support the idea of posting the classes and times, though.

Petting the kitty will probably be good to relieve all that stress from College so your roommate should understand. But the shower should be your best bet. She/He probably does the same darn thing anyway.

Yeah! The whole inside is nothing but deep pockets and it has a small generator for anything that needs to be plugged in... while in the 'shower'!

Actually, it was just the opposite for me. The busier and more stressed I got, the more I reached for my faithful Bnaughty Deluxe bullet Sometimes I'd have only an hour left to study for an exam, but I'd choose to spend ten to fifteen minutes of it just getting off to de-stress before the test. In fact, we've got a nifty little sex store downtown, and most of their customers are college students!

I would say waterproof toys if you want to masterbate.

Squeeze in a round during your shower!

One warning. With long, frequent showers comes a high water bill. We're figuring our usage to drop by half when our daughter leaves for college. She uses more water than the rest of the family put together.

Teenagers!

I've always found that putting on some music to cover the sounds worked when I was masturbating (Lords of Acid usually worked for me, but whatever puts you in the mood). I will say that the walls between rooms in most dorms are paper-thin (I was always able to hear my neighbors when they were having 'fun'), so quieter vibrators would maybe be a better idea. Another (somewhat unorthodox) idea is to take a shower at some hour when there might not be anyone else in there (weekend mornings, for example)

When I had to sleep with a roommate in the room, it was a good time for me to learn to get myself off with just my fingers. You can be remarkably quiet without bothering them, and it was a useful skill to have. Knowing their schedule helps, or just keeping up good communication with the roomie so you can tell each other how long you'll be gone. It really really sucks to be stuck in a small room with someone you can't communicate with for a year, and it will be easier to talk about negotiating private time in the room if you both make an effort to be friendly and considerate.

Also, you'll find that there are a LOT of places on campus that will be more private than you'd suspect. A bathroom in an academic building with a lock on the door during evenings and weekends can work well. Any bathroom that isn't frequented often can work if you don't mind masturbating in a stall.

One word on shower masturbation: If your college life ends up being anything like mine, your floor is not going to have enough showers during popular showering times. People may be waiting on you to finish. Be courteous and try to find a time when the stalls are usually free and pick that for your sexy shower time. Or, wait until your roommate takes a shower and then you have the room to yourself for a few minutes!

I'm in college, but I don't live in dorms. I live with my dad.

So, I still kind of get what you mean. A lockable toybox is a must.

Beyond that, if you have a roommate, I would share schedules. Maybe she needs time for masturbation too!

I live in an apartment with three other girls and we are all very open about sex, masturbation, etc. One of my friends brothers came over to use our kitchen one day and saw a sign on my roommates door that said:

"I'm on an excursion to find my g-spot. Please knock before entering."

The brother tried to play it off like he hadn't seen it, but he was bright red and obviously uncomfortable. I thought it was hilarious

OMG that is so cute! I wish I could make myself a little door sign like that but I live with my boyfriend...he's usually exploring it with me, lol.

Honestly, my masturbation habits didn't change at all in college. It sounds like you've gotten a lot of good suggestions. I'll say, if you're doing stuff manually with your hands and not toys, you can pull it off even when you're roommate is sleeping. Just, you know, make sure they're actually dead asleep and you're deep under the covers if you want to try that.

Heck, I've even pulled off phone sex with my ex quite often in college. Unless you and your roommate have the exact same schedule, you should be fine

I wasn't into toys yet when I was in college, but "fingers alone" seemed to work just fine for me too. And my roommates' schedules were usually different enough from mine that it wasn't too hard to find alone-time.

Oh man I am so lucky I had a huge room to myself in my dorm. I had my box of toys in the closet, and never had an issue with sound or anything.

This needs to happen. My two little bathrobe pockets are not enough!

I lived in a single room during my two years in the dorm so I never had a problem. However, I did know people that had a roommate and they said they always found time. So I wouldn't worry
