I honestly don't think so. I've been with like 14 different guys and tried a lot of different kinky shit and I still ultimately prefer taking care of my urges myself. You see, with sex you have an obligation to keep your partner occupied while with masturbation, you are free to fully indulge in your own fantasies uninterrupted. (So I guess I'm kind of selfish) Another thing, at least for me, is that the overindulgence of furry porn has raised my standards impossibly high. Real people just don't turn me on the same way as they used to. Lastly, I've never loved anybody I've ever had sex with, so I have no emotional investment in it. Perhaps if I did, I would enjoy sex more?

What do you think? Is sex really all that great? Is there anyone here who feels like me?

Well sex is selfish, that's the way it is, although I tend to like sex differently when I am with myself or with a partner, so yeah I kinda understand your point.
I feel the difference with sex can be that you enjoy giving pleasure to your partner (yeah I am contradicting myself...).

Depends on how often you do it, I suppose.
In my opinion doing it with someone you love doesn't really increase how good it feels, but instead gives you better inspiration to do it with that loved person simply because you love them. It's originally called Making Love.

I'll just pretend that it isn't so that I may feel better about myself.

Well, denial is a good way to live with pretty much anything.

Blissful ignorance: the answer to all of life's complexities!

Well, this isn't firsthand, but apparently sex is far from what it's cut out to be - full of complications, awkwardness, gross bodily fluids and feeling shitty about yourself afterwards.

Really, I think I have to agree with you.

Also,

I've never loved anybody I've ever had sex with, so I have no emotional investment in it. Perhaps if I did, I would enjoy sex more?

Is... kind of depressing actually, in spite of what I just said. :/

Well it depends, I have never loved any of the partner I've had and I'm not depressed, It's just that some people don't find the right guy/girl/other, some don't really what love is,
and finally other are just aromantic...

Eh, that's why I included 'kind of'.

Still, though - on topic, I myself don't intend to have sex anytime soon. It'd probably reduce me to a quivering wreck, knowing my level of self-esteem or lack thereof and I'm doing it again aren't I. Sorry

Stay away from sex.

Acquire salvation when the rapture happens.

Is that when it happens or before it happens?

I'd like to get my salvation prepared in advance pls

It varies with each person. One person might think sex is awesome (supersexual), another might never find it appealing (asexual), another might say it's ok, another might say it's horrible/terrible/disgusting, another might say only do it with your perfect lover, another might say do it with everyone, etc.

There's no real answer, it's all opinion

Well, I don't have first hand experience, but pretty much like you say, fictional porn has raised my expectations of actual sex.

Oh noes! Opinions! D: jk

I say no, not worth all the trouble and hype.

Sex with someone you care about is the best drug in the world. It cannot be topped.

Yep. The level of satisfaction for providing the pleasure as well as receiving is pretty high.

Yeah? Well my opinion is the best one!

Yep. IMO sex is cool. But word of advice: Porn is like movie critics. They say the movie is one of the ever, but the only way to find out if it's good or not is to go see for yourself

Absolutely. Sex just for an orgasm can be really nice, but only every now and then. Masturbation can often provide better orgasms with less physical and mental effort though. But sex with a TRUE significant other is just something different altogether, and is on a mental (and dare I say spiritual) level that can't be matched.

But enough romanticism, it really is all very subjective.

Yeah, I know that fiction is not the same as reality, no doubt about that.

Sex, for me, is like... something from a fairy tale.

I take comfort in imagining it but I see no point in looking for it.

The world around us will always be exactly as our minds interpret it to be... sex included. Naturally its experience is different for everybody and can be as unique as we are individually. Everyones experiences will be different one way or another however what i can tell you is positive emotions will always enhance any sexual encounter... just like it would enhance anything else in life. If theres no feelings and just sex it will always be mediocre at best and feel like something is missing.

Masturbation has been known to bring better orgasms than the act of sex because well... its your body, and who knows what truly feels good better than you right? Ill be frank, even being engaged and a straight female, some of my best orgasms are achieved during masturbation just because the simple fact that i can control speed and movement to what i feel perfectly, no partner can read minds ya know?

Uh...yes? I've been all over the world and my best memories all involve sexual encounters. Even bad sex is still awesome.

I think some people (like, you know, asexuals) would disagree...

Then we can be lonely together! What's your favorite part about being lonely? Mine's the self-pity.

asexuality is just a tumblrism just like pansexuality and non binary gender

Do you even try to not shoot your own arguments in the foot?

It's undeniably better than your hand (even when it's just someone else's hand).

Also you gotta love 'em, so that's probably harder for guys to do. (you know the motto, "Women can fake orgasms, but men can fake love")

Also I don't stick things in my butt so my options of self-gratification are rather limited, and the real thing is just so much better.
