From what I know of male masturbation whilst stroking your shaft is intensely pleasurable in itself, a large proportion (probably majority) of men are nduly fixated on orgasm and ejaculation and too inhibited to give way to true self loving. However the truth is that masturbation is sex and love like intercourse and, if it is healthy and uninhbited, can come n many forms and varies with mood, personality, situation and a host of other determinants. Sometimes, I reakky do just need to Cum! Then I try to get myself there as quickly and effectively as I can. Other times, I enjoy stroking myself but the orgasm is the high point and the ultimate goal. Then there are times when I really want a powerful orgasm but want to take as much time as possible getting there. This may be because I really enjoy the sensations that eventually climax in ejaculation or it may be because the anticipation is so arousing and will ensure a stronger coming in he end Finally there are times when I feel so good and my penis so incredible that orgasm hardly matters and its the stegth and empowerment that comes from being erect and feeling my potency in my hands. On the question of whether we like looking at ourselves and our masturbating or the feel of the cock we are caressing and the feel of our hand(s) on our penis; I always spend some of the time I am masturbating looking at my penis and watching my hand caressing it. I enjoy masturbation most when I'm especially aroused and my erection is distinctly bigger, wider and firmer. When I am coming toward orgasm the feel of my shaft in my palm, feeling with my hand how hard it is, feeling the engorged veins against my palm is unbelievably erotic and leads to the best and most powerful orgasm and ejaculations
