How does orgasm during masturbation compare to orgasm during casual sex?

In response to my other poll, some people said they engage in casual sex because they went the pleasure and orgasms. But I wondered: can't they just get a risk-free orgasm from masturbation instead?
Hence this poll: Do you find masturbatory orgasm to be less, equally, or more pleasurable, compared to orgasm during casual sex?

    Sex feels completely different from masturbating, to me... That said, my orgasms when having sex actually have been similar.. mostly...

    I think this is because I typically try to avoid ejaculating. I used to do this by pulling down on my penis when orgasming. This was great for masturbating (I learned this technique by accident as a teenager.

    The bad part is that it requires pulling out when having sex. This technique allows one to retain an erection, but it is very disengaging, so its never as good after orgasming in that way.

    Unfortunately, I didn't learn better techniques for a long time. Now I know a pressure point which blocks ejaculation. It is much better to have an orgasm while you are inside your partner, and this allows you to keep the momentum.

    This has yielded much better sex, but I'm not sure if the orgasm is different that way. I am learning to feel the sexual energy of others, and I feel confident that my next sexual partner will be much different. I will be able to feel her orgasm as clearly as my own, and vice versa.

    This is the goal, I think, when having sex: to share your partner's feelings and get a multiplicative effect. I guess you could call it "empathy" or "sexual telepathy"So, I guess this might be more difficult to achieve with a casual partner..
    See Britney for details.

    It is also possible to have sex/mutual masturbation with someone over a distance. Again, it is like tele-empathy. It can be excruciatingly intense, but also immensely pleasurable. It feels very bizzare to feel something penetrating your vagina when you don't have a physical vagina.

    So yeah, there is a whole world of feelings out there which can only be experienced by intermingling your sexual energy with another person's. I think this topic is related to tantric yoga, so you might look into that tradition for more insight.

  • There are 2 means to get orgasms:

    1) (for men) penis stimulation; (for women) clitoris stimulation

    2) (for men) prostrate stimilation; (for women) G-spot stimulation.

    And each can be done solo (with sex toys if necessary; aka masturbation) or with partner (aka sex)

    All four (for each gender) feels different.

    1) penile/clitoris solo is like eating plain spaghetti. It satisfies a hunger, but you will feel hungry again very quickly.

    2) prostrate/G-Spot solo is like eating steak without sauce. Its plain, but the hunger is satisfied and it lasts longer before you're hungry again.

    3) orgasm from penile/clitoris sex is like having spaghetti with cheese and sauce. It's very satisfying, but you still get hungry in 12 hours max.

    4) prosteate/G-Spot sex is so satisfying that you may not need sex for another week.

    Well, it varies from person to person. But in general, sex is a lot more satisfying than solo because there is another person present to love rather than merely lust.

  • Masturbation is usually better. Most people you hook up with aren't that good at sex. Tbh when I used to hook up sometimes I didn't even finish. I just went home after and thought about the experience while I masturbated.

  • I have never orgasmed during masturbation, so sex the only way for me to reach the hight of sexual pleasure.

  • Not as intense for me at all. Masturbateing is boreing in comparison.

  • Masturbation is way better. I love it.

  • It’s a feeling i I can’t quite explain. 😩😭

    • Which feeling is better? Is there difference in level of satisfaction?

  • I have very few incidents of what can genuinely be counted as casual sex, but one stands out as 'special' because not only did it come as a surprise but the girl was the most giving sexual partner imaginable and following a prolonged session of beautiful foreplay she took me inside her and proceeded to make sexual love in the most wonderfully sensual way --

    -- and when we both climaxed (together, at the same time) the orgasm I experienced still stands out in my memory as perhaps the most mind-blowing ever, made even more sensationally pleasurable by her beautiful sexual skills

    Masturbation can give body-archingly pleasurable orgasms, especially through edging, but I have to say the casual sex orgasm experience I have just outlined beat it by a long way

  • I prefer masturbation to sex! I get the most pleasure when I masturbate I have been masturbating for over 50 years now! Almost every day I masturbate 5-10 a week!
    I love to edge I can masturbate anywhere and everywhere when I get the urge to masturbate!
    I wish I could there were public masturbation rooms! I am always thinking about masturbation 24-7 I just love to masturbate and I really really love to cum all over my hard cock!
    It feels sooooo good to cum!!!

  • I would suggest you to check (Sex with emily) on YouTube that will answer all your questions

  • There’s no orgasm comparable to the ones I experience when I’m finishing inside of a woman. Masturbation orgasms don’t come close to them at all. It’s like day and night.

  • Roughly half as pleasurable. It's not the same sensual feeling, the foreplay, skin to skin warmth, the AAA's and OOO's, inside warmth, climax, body language, the whole appeal all over the room.

  • They feel relatively similar to me. During masturbation, the focus is on myself and I don't have to worry about some other person at all.

  • An orgasm is an orgasm. Strong and weak can occur in any setting.

  • Masturbation is way better than any sex I've had... this goes for head as well. The only thing that makes sex worth while 8s the connection I have with the person. And even that could be in limbo depending on if we are on good terms or not

  • Masturbation isn't nearly as good as sex. However, masturbation is better than bad sex... granted that's rare.
    It's not very satisfying, but gets the job done. Even casual sex feels way better. For men it's more physical than emotional.
    Emotional sex is the best, but doesn't stop us from enjoying the other stuff too.

  • I'm odd, I get better orgasms from blowjobs than I do from sex. And my ex was so lousy that the orgasms I got from her, were just plain terrible. At least me doing it myself, I know my speed and enjoyments- so there's that

  • Masturbation dont even come close to sex definitely not the passion and affection from that is indescribable with sex.. masturbation is just self pleasuring that inflicts self harm on yourself the pleasure is good yeah but the outcome is really not satisfying. You feel different, depressed, small , and anxiety kicks in and i can go on deeper on that but I'd go with sex anyday rather masturbation

  • Solo orgasms feel better to me, but I enjoy penetration from an actual penis more, so yeh

    • You enjoy penetration more than the orgasm?

    • 90% of the time, yes

    • How you feel if it inside mouth or on face

  • I believe the pleasure it’s quite similar but you can not compare it, it’s like eating an apple vs drinking apple juice. Totally different experiences.

  • nothing compares to oral or sex

  • Because, when masturbating , I have no one to please, accept myself! My concentration is Focused on me, and what I'm doing , and oh hell Yes , . Safe Sex !
    " Casual " sex encounters , please be careful

  • penis sex is much more entertaining to me

    • and the other stuff is finger sex and tongue sex? :P

    • you must have a unusually long tongue to do that

  • Dunno, never had casual sex.
    Relationship sex or nothing.
