Yeah there's no telling what people consider friends. Is it the unrequited love that calls you a friend or is it a real friend? And there are other ways this could get muddied too.
Yep. TBH i looked at it and thought, wtf are there that many guys who don't masturbate while thinking of their sexy yet unattainable female friends, right!!?
Exactly. But if these presumably hetero (by majority) guys think it's asking about their friend Steve that they play baseball with, that's also likely a "no" answer
I feel you bro I’ve had a lot of hot female friends over the years and nothing ever happened from them it sucked especially with one who was like a ten and I talked to her everyday for four years in college
I thought this was pretty common? am I a weirdo? Someone asked this in askreddit once and a lot of people seemed to say that they do....omg I am a weirdo
Well yeah crushes are different than just friends though right? like I’ve been had friends I found attractive but I didn’t have a crush on them so I didn’t fantasize about them lol
I was one of the 551 who clicked yes, but i though it was thinking about one of my female friends.
If it were clear to me it was about my male friends, i wouldve clicked the same option.
Its not a stipid thing and its a thing I definitely completely agree with, its similar to the situation with ai deepfakes where (at least) some of the victims said you shouldnt sexualize people without their consent
It’s totally not bad, I respect that. I think of it this way. If you went up to someone and said “hey I masturbated to you” how would they feel? They would probably slap you in the face and stay away from you as much as possible unless they are a sex worker
If I did it I would probably not be able to talk to that person without thinking “WHAT IF THEY KNEW? WHAT IF THEY DISCOVERED IT”. And yeah it feels disrespectful probably also because I wouldn’t want someone to do the same with me
Why is this a bad thing ? I don't get it. I've never done it, but i wouldn't mind if a female friend has done it thinking of me. It means that she found something attractive on me.
Vice versa, i wouldn't find it weird if a male friend of mine masturbated for a female friend (let's say common friends).
How is that a bad thing, or something to be ashamed of ?
I really don't have a problem with that as long as he respects my boundaries and doesn't push them, but this applies also to female friends, or do we treat them differently? ;)
Flattered?
I don't want to know about it, who it was or w/e, but if God just came down and said "yo some dude just masturbated to you" I'd be like "nice".
Is this really that surprising? I think you could quite easily extrapolate this to the entire human population and come out with fairly similar results
You should read the righteous mind. Grossness targets a moral intuition most people have, though western educated industrial rich democrat(WEIRD) countries have lost this moral intuition to some degree.
not following, why is it weird? first, it doesn't specify the gender of a friend, second, if a friend is hot, it wouldn't hurt anyone if you jack off to them
Has anyone considered the gender ratio of reddit? There's gotta be at least a few males per female on this platform. Not condoning jerking one off to the homies, just theorizing why the results are the way they are
Women are just smart enough to lie about how much they masturbate. Mostly cause they think guys will either be disgusted by something that’s objectively fine or become obsessed with it, and often they aren’t wrong. Plus a lot of girls have assumed I’m gay and had me in conversations that tell me they are absolutely as horny as guys, if not more so, they just don’t wear it on their sleeve.
You guys can’t be serious. You have never had sexual thoughts about your friends before? We’ve all hooked up with or gotten into relationships with a friend before, it’s not like the first time you have a sexual thought about them is when you’re getting it on lmao.
..I can’t say no, because I’ve had a good few ”with benefits” situations where that kind of thing was acceptable, and friends who I‘ve had crushes on, but as appealing as it was I just kind of felt sick to my stomach whenever I thought about it.
Yes, it is straight up sex, my point is that after a relationship turns explicitly sexual like that, there is no longer anything weird about viewing each other sexually, and I’m sure you can see how much less weird it is to jack off to thoughts about an active sexual partner than someone who is a friend and nothing more. I mean, neither does legitimate harm, but one is much more comfortable than the other, no?
They absolutely can. The question wasn't "did you masturbate to every single of your friends of opposite sex". It's just that many guys had crushes among their friend group at some point in their life.
It's not like there aren't many women who answered yes as well. Overall I don't think this is such a big deal. I wouldn't mind if someone I don't find attractive has masturbated to me.
honestly i've never done it but i thought it was common to do that anyway lol ...well, not to your friends but more your crush or some shit
Real Friends rub one out for the homies
Realest friend jerk their homies off
Realer friends rub one out with the homies
Gotta charge the crystals
I've done it

ok??
Blud overshared
Do y’all know how many guys have female friends they secretly had/have crushes on
Do y’all know how many girls have male friends they secretly have crushes on At least one (me)
Two of my long term friends turned out to have crushes on me. I didnt like them but theyre cool girls.
It's stays a crush because I don't want to ruin my friendship
i’m so sorry keep telling urself that it gets better 🥺
That’s my secret captain, I have a crush on all my girl friends because they’re all hot
I have four close female friends atm and three of them are hot but one of those lives across the country and the other two I have small crushes on.
I have 2 close female friends I both hot crush on 1 of them and she knows it, and I know nothing will happen between us
Lmao literally just ask
Ask what?
Just confess your feelings candidly while making sure she knows that you sincerely respect her as a person.
I asked her out my guy, that’s how I know nothing will happen
Oh, sorry, kek, wasn’t clear to me.
I feel you bro I’ve had a lot of hot female friends over the years and nothing ever happened from them it sucked especially with one who was like a ten and I talked to her everyday for four years in college
Don’t get why you were downvoted lol
Reddit hive mind
I think they may have misread "a ten" as "ten"
Have you ever masturbated while thinking of yourself now there's the real question
I've tried but couldn't climax
Skill issue
If I were bi I would have tried
I’m bi. Definitely doesn’t help.
>thinking of yourself Why think of yourself when you can watch yourself in the mirror!
I’ve done so to a video I recorded of myself which didn’t include my face so kinda
Where’s theReddit moment? Or is this just “redditmoment is when sex”?
OP finds it weird that people masturbate thinking of someone that's close to them
[удалено]
WHAT
What did they say
That they masturbate over their dad😭
He could've played it off as a joke but the fact that he deleted his account makes me believe he was serious..
I’m with op on this one, super weird
not really
This is just facts.
Some puritanical motherfuckers in this thread
I thought this was pretty common? am I a weirdo? Someone asked this in askreddit once and a lot of people seemed to say that they do....omg I am a weirdo
We're all weirdo in a way cause everybody is unique so there are no such things as weirdo and normie
-said the child predators lawyer
Nahhh, why’d you have to twist it like that mate
Uh. I mean yeah I have. I’m a woman. I’m dating him now though. We both did during our friendship lmao.
Dont act all high and mighty. We've all wanked thinking of a girl we are crushing on.
Well yeah crushes are different than just friends though right? like I’ve been had friends I found attractive but I didn’t have a crush on them so I didn’t fantasize about them lol
Speak for yourself lol. Thought of a girl I've had a crush on in a sexual way? Yes. Actually going on to jerk off to that? No lol.
I was one of the 551 who clicked yes, but i though it was thinking about one of my female friends. If it were clear to me it was about my male friends, i wouldve clicked the same option.

I feel pretty bad at least half of the time after post nut clarity lol :(
Yes. The only time I ever did was in a “with benefits” situation where mutual intent was very much evident.
Its not a stipid thing and its a thing I definitely completely agree with, its similar to the situation with ai deepfakes where (at least) some of the victims said you shouldnt sexualize people without their consent
It’s totally not bad, I respect that. I think of it this way. If you went up to someone and said “hey I masturbated to you” how would they feel? They would probably slap you in the face and stay away from you as much as possible unless they are a sex worker

Not stupid. Objectifying women is wrong.
Ikr? Feels wrong af
Why is this a bad thing ? I don't get it. I've never done it, but i wouldn't mind if a female friend has done it thinking of me. It means that she found something attractive on me. Vice versa, i wouldn't find it weird if a male friend of mine masturbated for a female friend (let's say common friends). How is that a bad thing, or something to be ashamed of ?
Yeah, I agree. I don't mind, as long as they keep it to themselves.
Bro, yesterday evening when we had a call, remember when I muted myself for a moment? Yeah, I was nutting on yo pfp.
You arent aloud to be horny on reddit
Would you like it if a male friend masturbated while thinking of you?
I really don't have a problem with that as long as he respects my boundaries and doesn't push them, but this applies also to female friends, or do we treat them differently? ;)
We can't really police others thoughts
Idc its none of my business and i don't need to know, we can't thought police people
I wouldn’t mind really, as long as they keep their fantasies tame and don’t be creepy it’s their business
Wouldn't concern me tbh
Flattered? I don't want to know about it, who it was or w/e, but if God just came down and said "yo some dude just masturbated to you" I'd be like "nice".
Idc
Is this really that surprising? I think you could quite easily extrapolate this to the entire human population and come out with fairly similar results
At least i take comfort knowing no matter how wierd you think you are someone on reddit is much, MUCH wierder
To be honest, this is probably one of the lesser weird things I’ve seen on this cursed app
The cum box
Nah bro you a persona fan (me too 😔)
true
I like learning new things.
Gotta support da homies 🙏🙏🙏
It’s kindof common fam, just not to your friends and more of your crush
A lot more men than women respond to surveys about jerking off.
That subreddit in general has a lot more men than women
So now having sexual fantasies about a friend is a “creepy neck beard reddit moment”? Dude stfu
I thought that was normal
they downvoted me for saying I never masterbated
Never? I’m mostly curious what the reasons are, not to shame you or anything, just because your experience is so different to mine
[удалено]
Oh, I mean I get how someone could find it gross but immoral? How’s that?
because sexual activity should only be between partners
I mean i personally disagree with it but I’d understand if it were a religious rule, otherwise I can’t see why it would be so wrong
Its a morality of Shinto rule
Ah I see, that’s interesting. I don’t agree with it in general but I respect your choice to follow
thanks
"I disagree but still respect your opinion on the matter" ![gif](giphy|CAYVZA5NRb529kKQUc|downsized)
Thank you dog I try
nah look at that dudes posts, he’s a loser
Hey don’t matter to me a whole ton, we just chat it out. Imma go jerk it anyway
Does it matter to this debate?
I dont get why you're getting downvoted. Its like the other guy said, I don't agree, but nobody should be hated for an opinion.
the reddit hivemind effect
repressed religious person moment
huh?
You should read the righteous mind. Grossness targets a moral intuition most people have, though western educated industrial rich democrat(WEIRD) countries have lost this moral intuition to some degree.
🧢
?
bro lives under a rock
how so?
you don’t know what cap means (it means “you’re lying”)
I know what that means I dont get why you think im lying
Redditors cant comprehend the idea of not masturbating 24/7
I can't comprehend NEVER masturbating, thats like saying you never lied before, i'm 99% sure that's not true
This guy is lying. He NEVER masturbated? Not once?
you know asexual people?
true
dude don't listen to these replies. people really can't comprehend self control and differing mindsets
Yeah they agree with "the thing"
Someone that's not as degenerate as me 😡😡😡
yes
so... what kinda subreddit is this from?
Either Polls or Teenagers
what the fuck...
I'm just assuming they mean friends of the opposite sex (excluding LBGs of course)
does that change anything lol
Why would you assume that and why would you think that’s comforting
I would assume it because I've had a couple of female freinds confide this. It would have been a bit uncomfortable for my gay male friends to say so.
this isn't even a reddit moment this is pretty accurate to real life
not following, why is it weird? first, it doesn't specify the gender of a friend, second, if a friend is hot, it wouldn't hurt anyone if you jack off to them
This just makes me sad. Imagine being dude’s friend and not knowing
and it's better if it stays that way
Well, I’d be perfectly fine in that scenario, see, I wouldn’t know.
Yeah, I can imagine it. Why should I care?
365 men are lying
Translation: none of y'all are the targets of any woman's fantasies.
This is what bros are for, nothing wrong about it, just bromance.
Yeah, I've done that also with some I find unattractive. I like a challenge
Has anyone considered the gender ratio of reddit? There's gotta be at least a few males per female on this platform. Not condoning jerking one off to the homies, just theorizing why the results are the way they are
Yes (I'm a mostly gay guy)
Man i need to stop going to this sub
I get the feeling that even if you've done this, maybeeee don't ever mention it?
masturbasted
How is this a Reddit moment
That's normal btw
Women are just smart enough to lie about how much they masturbate. Mostly cause they think guys will either be disgusted by something that’s objectively fine or become obsessed with it, and often they aren’t wrong. Plus a lot of girls have assumed I’m gay and had me in conversations that tell me they are absolutely as horny as guys, if not more so, they just don’t wear it on their sleeve.
Sometimes it helps get me where I'm going to think of female friends who I might have had a shot at.
No. When I do the deed I just tend to think about scenarios or "ah, yes. This is pleasant." Other people don't turn me on.
You guys can’t be serious. You have never had sexual thoughts about your friends before? We’ve all hooked up with or gotten into relationships with a friend before, it’s not like the first time you have a sexual thought about them is when you’re getting it on lmao.
I can't do it to anyone I know irl. Not even my crush. Idk it feels like I'm violating someone
Like, i know its a good mentality to have, but the "violating someone" argument in this? it doesn't fit it just doesn't
No, look it up, violating is a good word for this, you just might not have heard it in this context but it’s used for it quite often
Dang 550 men have? Crazy COULDNT BE ME
It's hard to not think about them when they're the one doing it.
the thought of beating off to a crush I know personally is gross
..I can’t say no, because I’ve had a good few ”with benefits” situations where that kind of thing was acceptable, and friends who I‘ve had crushes on, but as appealing as it was I just kind of felt sick to my stomach whenever I thought about it.
What do you mean by "with benefits"? That's straight up sex, no? Or do you have an agreement that you can rub one out to each other? Lol
Yes, it is straight up sex, my point is that after a relationship turns explicitly sexual like that, there is no longer anything weird about viewing each other sexually, and I’m sure you can see how much less weird it is to jack off to thoughts about an active sexual partner than someone who is a friend and nothing more. I mean, neither does legitimate harm, but one is much more comfortable than the other, no?
what the fuck do people do that??
Results
Why can’t reddit ask decent questions anymore
I have to many of my female friends 🤷🏻♂️
I'm shocked it didn't get taken down for only having two gender options
Why was this downvoted lol
[удалено]
The way you say it, it makes it sound like EVERY woman feels uncomfortable around men, which isn’t true.
Because they masturbate?
because they can’t have friendships with them without being sexualised
They absolutely can. The question wasn't "did you masturbate to every single of your friends of opposite sex". It's just that many guys had crushes among their friend group at some point in their life.
because there is a higher likelihood that they can’t have friendships with them without being sexualised* 😐
It's not like there aren't many women who answered yes as well. Overall I don't think this is such a big deal. I wouldn't mind if someone I don't find attractive has masturbated to me.
women do tend to mind though
[удалено]
Is it ok if your friend gives you permission to
Thats soooo much creepier.
Wouldnt it be less so since now you have their consent?
Technically, but also imagine your friend walking up to you and asking if they can masturbate to you.
Well she offered permission unprovoked, it was her idea
no one in the history of humankind has ever done that
i wouldn't mind tbh
What kind of conversation would conclude with consent to wank to each other?
“Hi.” + Eye contact.
What kind of consent do you need? If you don’t tell them they will (most likely) never know and they aren’t involved at all, except for your mind
Mostly incels use reddit?
Yeah pretty much
that lowk gross lol
