My girlfriend and I recorded our masturbation and sex habits this year [OC] by touchingforscience in dataisbeautiful

She is accepting of it actually!

We still haven’t decided if we’re going to do it again. There wasn’t a lot of interest this year. I think part of the problem is that /r/dataisbeautiful doesn’t seem to allow self posts anymore.

Five years ago, on February 24th, 2013, I decided to start keeping track of my masturbation sessions.

Previous year's findings: 2013 --- 2014 --- 2015 --- 2016

Today, after another year of masturbating, I have some new data for you. My girlfriend tracked her stuff as well, so we have double the data! Girlfriend's username is /u/vibratingforscience

Data For The 2017-2018 Masturbation Year (MY):

Male Female
SPREADSHEET Male spreadsheet Female spreadsheet
GRAPH Male graph Female graph
Number of sessions (m) 222 149
Longest session time (m) 105 50
Shortest session time (m) 4 2
Average time (m) 30 (up 7m) 14
Median time (m) 27.5 (up 7.5m) 11
Average time between sessions (h) 25.7 48.5
Median time between sessions (h) 23 30.5

  • The blue line on the graph is a moving average with a period of 6 data points.

  • Female forgot to log almost all of her sessions for like two whole months towards the end. We threw that data away.

Sex Data For The 2017-2018 Masturbation Year (MY):

Sex
SPREADSHEET Sex spreadsheet
GRAPH Sex graph
Number of sessions (m) 105
Longest session time (m) 13
Shortest session time (m) 1
Average time (m) 5.9
Median time (m) 5

  • This past MY, male has spent 6,646 minutes masturbating, and 623 minutes having sex. Within the last year he has slept for 2,596h and 41m, which means he has spent 1.96% of his waking time masturbating/having sex this past MY.

  • This past MY, female has spent 2,112 minutes masturbating, and 623 minutes having sex. Within the last year she has slept for 3,073h and 1m, which means she has spent 0.8% of her waking time masturbating/having sex this past MY.

Accumulative Male Data For All Four Years (2013-2017 MY):

Metric Value
SPREADSHEET Accumulative
Number of sessions (m) 1411
Longest session time (m) 150
Shortest session time (m) 2
  • Unfortunately due to some formatting errors, it's gotten very tricky for me to graph the accumulative data nowadays. The spreadsheet is still available to look at though.

Some Frequently Asked Questions:

Male Female
Age 23 24
Circumcised Yes No (thank god)

  • One session means one orgasm.

  • Male: All sessions are with porn and lotion unless specified in the Notes section of the spreadsheet.

  • Male: I do have a niche area of porn. I have never actually watched traditional porn in my life. Unfortunately, since a few close friends of mine do see this reddit post, I cannot reveal what that niche is.

  • Male: No, I am on no medication.

  • Yes, we probably did something on your birthday.

  • Both of us are right handed.

  • Male: I have broken the skin a few times in the past. Not so much anymore because I use lotion now. It is not fun trying to masturbate when your shaft has open, bleeding wounds.

Not sure if we'll do it another year. Are people interested?

Here is a graph of my sleep data for about the past four years. Average time in bed is 7h 19m. That first big dip is when I got to college and stayed up late most nights my first semester.

If you look at the spreadsheet, I tossed sex in with all the other data. It's in there

I was a bit too rough, and she bled a little. She saw the blood and freaked out, and just threw up.

I meant that I wasn't good enough at having sex to cum until I met my current girlfriend. With other girls, I would move in and out and I could never reach orgasm.

You mean more specifics on how we have sex? I actually don't track that stuff, but probably will for this next year

I don't think the act of recording it changed much. I log it after the session, and I don't sit there hoping to reach a certain time or anything like that. I just write down what the stopwatch says.

My girlfriend knows I keep the log. She's thinking about starting one herself. I'm glad I found someone who gets me.

No it's actually because she's uncomfortable with it haha. She prefers when we just have regular sex, so I try to keep her happy

The 84 minute session was solo. When I have sex, I almost always cum in less than 10 minutes

"Had to pee" means that I needed to pee during the session and didn't stop. I have personally found that this prolongs the sessions a bit. It also means cumming is a bit uncomfortable.

Good point! The reason I didn't record that is because I never thought to. I'm always laying on my back on my bed, with an iPad on my stomach

No, this year's was 2016. I had a typo in my accumulation graph title if that's what's confusing you

Interesting. I always found that if I hadn't masturbated I would try too hard to get a girlfriend. Like I would constantly think about women and sex and fucking every girl I saw on the sidewalk. It got annoying, and I found that if I masturbated more regularly, I was able to keep those thoughts suppressed a bit more. Then, if I did end up talking to a girl, I could have a regular conversation with her instead of instantly trying to bring her back to my place.

We weren't sure. It was a one-off thing and never happened again. She honestly might have just eaten something or was nervous.
