I recently realized that I do something strange when I masturbate and I am trying to find answers. I do the deed in a kind of irregular rhythm. Instead of *thrust-thrust-thrust-thrust...* I go *thrust-thrust pause thrust-thrust pause thrust-thrust* It is involuntary, although I don't think I've always done this. I wouldn't be worrying except that I am a virgin and concerned that this may be an issue if the habit continues (i.e. I won't be able to pleasure my partner). So my questions are a) is this common? And b) will this be a problem when I have real sex. Thanks
Some people stroke fast, some slow. Some use lotion, some do not. Some will rub the head of their junk, some will not. I like to rub the underside of my pecker. It's whatever floats your boat. One thing for sure though, regardless of what gets you off, it won't affect you're sex life. If anything, the way you stroke, with the pausing, may build self-control which in turn, would make you last longer. Regardless of how much you fap, when you start getting your dick wet, that too will take practice and discipline so you can last longer
In my case I don't do what you describe for most of the session but I sometimes do when I am getting close to cumming. It's as if one part of me is saying "stroke fast, you need to cum" and another is saying "don't get too close, prolong the pleasure" and this is the compromise - bursts of a few fast strokes separated by pauses.
