Is it safe to sit upright on the edge of the sofa and masturbate?

    Desk chairs are not sofas. Sofas have different underlying structures under the cushioning that could pressurise the anal scrotal area at orgasm

    Uh, not really. A good desk chair and a good sofa have similar construction in terms of underlying structure and cushioning in the seat to a point; some desk chairs run a little thinner on the padding than others. I would even argue that due to that, desk chairs are even more likely to exert this apparent pressure you're worried about.

    This is what I was thinking. The sofas I'm familiar with have way more padding than the typical office chair.

    But I'm not really the one to ask on this topic. I'm normally standing when I orgasm. (It's the dom in me.)

    If having a wank on the sofa worries you,

    don't do it.

    Being afraid has nothing to do with it. It is the understanding of the movement of the muscles used at orgasm and how furniture pressure can interfere with this and cause muscle and nerve tearing. There are literally billions of men at risk because they are not aware of the dangers of seated masturbation.

    What a strange crusade!

    This "risk," if true, could cause the billions of men who jack-off to possibly, through muscle and nerve damage, lose their ability to sustain an erection and ejaculate.

    Could this eventually lead to a welcome reduction in the overpopulation of the world?

    I've watched my guy masturbate while sitting on the sofa. Even offered helpful suggestions. He never sits bolt upright while he jacks his upright bolt. He tends to slouch down into a semi-reclining position.
    And I've fucked him RCG while he's seated in his office chair.:D

    Basic male anatomy will show you that the seminal vesicle, prostate, ejaculatory duct, and urethra are well protected in part by the pelvic floor muscle, rectum, and (engorged) corpus spongiosum tissue. The path of ejaculating semen is literally padded by all this tissue. Also, even with moderate pressure applied to these tissues, I don't think the force of the ejaculation would be enough to cause muscle and nerve damage.

    Some men suffer from obstructions along the ejaculatory duct, and the worst of the symptoms are typically low semen volume and some pelvic pain after ejaculating, certainly nothing as serious as muscle and nerve tears. I think you overestimate the function of ejaculation.

    If this were an issue as serious as you suggest, urologists, etc., would already know about it.

    Sitting on the edge of a seat is probably fine. Just don't sit on, say, a tennis ball or something worse.

    We do this all the time on the couch!
    Who knew there was such danger involved?
    I thought my wife was into it; maybe she's secretly in on this plot?

    Right?! I mean, who the hell jerks off sitting bolt upright?! It sounds like something an OCD German with shame issues would do.

    I have always done it in the very slouching semi-reclining position that you describe. And so does every other guy I've ever discussed it with.

    Frankly, I assumed that every guy did it that way, or lying down, unless (like some odd ducks I've encountered) they were cranking one out in the shower. At least, I assumed that until I saw what @baraka_guru said above about coming while standing up-- whatever floats ya boat, I guess, but damn if that doesn't sound uncomfortable to me.

    Males masturbate in different positions. Thankfully some of us have more imagination than the poster above. The issue is regardless of how you masturbate why is it that this phenomenon of muscle tearing is not widely known about.

    Probably because it rarely happens?
    Goggle is your friend, I ran a dozen different search combos and didn't pull up much of anything.

    OK but I am presuming that the incidence of males masturbating on the edge of chairs, beds and sofas is relatively high especially given the proliferation of pornograpic material online and the desire to fully engage with it(meaning being in a position to view and manipulate)? Link below features example of this.

    Scientist and humanitarian that I am, I took one for the team last night, at obvious great personal risk.
    I am happy to report that I have survived this harrowing ordeal without loss of life or limb.
    We had sex on the bed, which very closely resembles the sofa.
    I sat as straight upright as possible and Mrs. sat on my lap reverse cow girl style.
    Festivities ensued.
    Messes were made.
    And no damage was done. Whew.

    Surely I'm not the only one to realize that the entire intent of this thread seems to be to fulfill a fetish for discussion of this very specific act, people thinking of him practicing this specific act, or others actually trying this specific act and telling him?


    Maybe I'm off on that, but I'm guessing I'm not. Carry on...

    Not really that useful. Why did you not conduct your research masturbating on the edge of the sofa? Perhaps you believe there is a danger?

    Made my day! I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I can't remember the last time anyone accused me of lacking imagination!

    To me this thread demonstrates Poe's Law: Any sufficiently advanced trolling is indistinguishable from a genuine fixation.

    I'm pleased to see that fflowley matches it with accordingly snarky language.

    Maybe because it doesn't happen? Has it happened to you? Or are you basing this whole thing on something one of your buddies told you?
