What are people’s thoughts on mutual masterbation

[Sandra]

OK, so how would you make it obvious without risking it being awkward for the other and driving away a friend?

I usually just ask, I have also been asked 'do I want to do it' from another girl.
Then you have the choice to say yes or no.
Girls understand these things, guys might find it offensive and get angry.

Almost half of men have jerked off with another guy, so the odds aren't bad if you ask.
All you have to do is share that statistic with your friend and gauge the conversation from there.
It always helps to be drinking or smoking when you try this.

It seems guys masturbate together when they are younger (teens) and again when they are older (60's, 70's and 80's)

In mid life its all only woman.

I would agree with Sandra's perspectives regarding men ...

For me, those early adolescent years were filled with naivety and exploration ... sometimes aided by older brothers or friends.  Summer camp, communial showers for the first time, etc.  Who is developing faster than their friends.  My limited experience during those years didn't lead to ejaculation, but would still fall under the broad definition of masturbation (it felt good!) and was certainly mutual.

Fast forward to now - mature years.  We've been around the block.  We don't worry about whether it's considered "gay" or not, and would likely be more open to the idea even if it were.  At this point it's more about pleasure, sometimes intimacy, and filling a need in our lives that may be lacking from other sources.

My two cents ...

Never have masturbated live with another guy, just a few GFs.  I have on cam, and found it enjoyable, i think i'd enjoy it in the same room but difficult to make happen.

Jealous of you Sandra ;).

Since penetration is not probable, (vaginismus), MM was the only option. Now it's not an option. I do it myself until I find someone M or F to do it with.

I don't cum on my wife. Unfortunately, masturbating is a distasteful activity to her, and show prefers to know nothing about it.

My wife used to privately. Only did it once when she was heavily drugged on sleeping pills. No, she doesn't masturbate nor use dildos. Now my cock is a no go. How did I get stuck in this mess?

You kind of covered my thoughts. It may be that 50% of guys have wanked another cock but that may have been as teenager or 60+
Im not sure that 50% applies to 20-60 yrs groups so asking a guy of say 45, might result in being told,  'get out'.
