Full marks to you all for creative sexual innuendo references

Actually miss leopard I don't think this lack of masturbation is as far fetched as you might think. I think the answer to your question depends very much on the definition of "doesn't" or "never".
I would describe myself as having a medium to high sex drive and I do not, in general, masturbate. For example, perhaps two times in the last two months. I think, having reflected on this, I can point to some reasons for this.
1. My age. Certainly I noticed, before my world exploded into kink technicolour, that my sex drive/urge to come was decreasing over time. This is also wrapped up in my relationship and life status over that period so it is difficult to disentangle the factors. BUT, I do assume that there is an age factor at play that you could see if all other factors remain constant. I think its a minor effect, at least for me.
2. A very active sex life. For the last three years I have worked hard to design the kind of life that I want, and that includes my physical needs. I would say that my orgasm needs are now easily catered for without masturbation, and I just prefer that.
3. This is the most interesting factor for me. I have been exploring, sometimes with partners, sometimes without, how it feels to sit on the edge of maximum arousal and incorporate it into my life. I find for me it gives me an awesome feeling of colour and drive that has some semblance to the feeling you get from walking away from a seriously hot night. I like that feeling and there is an element of calm and peace in using that physical need to supercharge my own mindset. In essence this is a reframe for me: I go from, fuck I'm so horny and frustrated... I wish I could knock one out, to, fuck I'm so horny ... my life is incredible and I love this feeling, I will embrace it. In many ways I have decoupled my own Domliness and masculinity from the need to orgasm. These days my Domliness is much more associated with my control and command. The orgasms are just the cherry on top of the pie these days. Very nice cherry, but only a small part of what I get out of this.
I also know that, for me, my Domness takes a dip after release and that is something I want to control to best effect (can anyone spell control freak?).
Last bit to say on this... I have explored this with some partners where I keep them at maximum states of arousal without release. Before you women start throwing things at me, this often means a great deal of sex/masturbation and ramping up arousal in between. This mind set often brings with it feelings of bliss and submission and a great deal of 'fuck, life is awesome, i have incredible motivation'. I have only done this with partners i know well and so can gauge the effect and be sure it is beneficial.
...
Do I go through dry spells or periods where I just need physical release through masturbation, sure
but that is not a major part of my life and I am quite comfortable with that.
One final point.
I have also, in my life as a munch organiser come across many weird and wonderful types of man, asexual, and other, who get their kicks in other ways. For me it is not a stretch to imagine that there is a sizable minority of men who do not masturbate regularly. I think the thing to remember is that we are not all the same and needing to orgasm is one metric only!
Appreciate the discussion
it was interesting to reflect on this.
