Considering the huge number of sex toys I have at my disposal, I can scratch whatever itch I'm feeling whenever I want. While I do love sex, when I tried the casual sex thing, it just got too complicated. I prefer to have a small, close circle of sex partners, or a monogamous relationship. The risk of diseases and the emotional hassle make casual sex not worth it to me.

Plug in. I've been doin' that for 5 years even when I was in a relationship, sadly.

hm, I personally prefer casual sex. It's nice to have that one on one contact and you help someone else out too

I'm not really interested in having sex with someone unless I'm in a relationship with them. I'd much rather just use my toys.

It's not that masturbation is less to worry about, it's more of that I have trouble engaging in intimacy with people I have no emotional ties to. I used to have casual sex quite frequently, but I no longer am interested in such things.

I don't enjoy casual sex. I only enjoy it when I'm in a relationship with someone. You can have casual sex with someone who doesn't care about pleasing you. I believe that I can pleasure myself much better through masturbation than having sex with someone who doesn't put in any effort to make me feel good.

Masturbaion loses it's appeal after awhile.

Masturbation. Casual sex seems like it would be too stressful, and I'd suffer from frequent existential crises as a result. Also, strangers aren't familiar with my sweet spots.

Um...Yes? I'm not single. Married but with a open hall pass to play and a husband who is both gone a lot and supportive of me getting some on the side. I very much enjoy masturbation and I am very happy using my fingers or any of my toy collection to get me off. That being said there is sometimes no good substitution for getting your fucks on and getting laid. Most of the time I am good with party of one but every so often I get a helper or two Well! Some guys get lonely if they come to play alone! Who am I to say they shouldn't bring a tall, dark, handsome big muscled friend? .

I know myself best, but sometimes the girl knows things i don't. But for the most part its masturbation...

masturbation...you don't have to deal with the other person. Plus there are so many toys out there!

These replies must all be women. I'm pretty sure 99% of men would take casual sex over masturbation if they could get it.

I agree. Most of the time I'll choose masturbasion, but sometimes that 'itch' needs more than a toy can give me.

I'd much rather masturbate knowing I'm going to be fully satisfied than to go out and find some stranger to screw. If I'm having sex, I want the emotional connection - otherwise forget it!

Not a fan of hookups never have been and never will be. That itch can wait till I have known someone for a long time.

I go back and forth with this. When casual sex stops being all about getting my needs met, I switch back to solo time.

I'm not single, but I think I'd feel more fulfilled with a casual hook up.
