The demands that an excited penis make on a man can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. All guys enjoy masturbation, of course, and most of the time they engage in this favored activity in the places one might expect, such as in their bed or in front of their computer. Sometimes, however, an excited penis demands immediate satisfaction, or a dude is simply ready to experience a bit of self-gratification in a new or different location. As long as he is careful and acting appropriately (and not getting so carried away with aggressive stroking that it impacts his penis health), then there are any number of locations in which pleasurable self-stimulation can occur.

Around the house

Many men enjoy masturbating in rooms other than the bedroom, such as the living room (perhaps while viewing some stimulating DVDs) or the kitchen (with paper towels on hand for an easy clean-up). However, the bathroom is high up on the list of preferred locations. Privacy is part and parcel of being in the bathroom, so there's less chance one will be walked in on while masturbating on the toilet. The handy shower also makes the bathroom an attractive option; not only does the pulsing of the water from the showerhead offer some stimulatory variety, but washing up afterward is incredibly simple.

Another popular (perhaps surprisingly so) option for many men is the garage. Some men report simply enjoying the feeling of fondling their penis in a location which has a masculine context attached to it. For others, the reason is more practical: No one else in the family is likely to come to the garage, making it relatively private and safe.

On the grounds

Some men enjoy masturbating close to home but not within the confines of the actual house itself. Many who have been raised on a farm report blissful times spent rubbing their manhood in a barn or in a haystack. An outdoor hot tub is often an ideal location, as one's midsection can be hidden from any prying eyes; in addition, the stimulation provided by the whirlpool jets can add an extra kick to the experience. And if one's yard is fenced in, or one lives far enough away from the neighbors, self-pleasuring in the back yard can be a thrilling option.

Away from home

Naturally, erections can occur anywhere, not just at home. Many an excited penis has been attended to in more "exotic" locations, such as:

- At work. A recent survey indicated that 31% of men have masturbated while at work - and that figure might be lower than the actual percentage. Whether doing so in the relative safety of the men's room or in the more high-risk environment of one's desk, solo-sexual activity in the workplace provides a special excitement.

- In the car. Handling one's own stick shift while driving can be very dangerous - but there’s nothing wrong with pulling over in a discreet location to tug one out.

- Hiking. The fresh air one inhales while hiking in the lonesome pines can be especially stimulating. If no one is around, many a man relieves his penis of tension in the open air.

And the possibilities hardly stop there: swimming in the ocean, in a sauna, lying in a field, sitting in a pornographic movie theatre, secure in an airplane washroom - the list is almost endless.

Joyful masturbation definitely rewards an excited penis, but men who are a bit too vigorous in their enjoyment need to make sure they regularly use a first-rate penis health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Excess friction from rough handling can damage the sensitive penis skin, so using a crème that includes a potent combination of moisturizers (such as Shea butter and vitamin E) is demanded. That rough handling may also result in an undesired loss of sensation in the manhood. Select a crème that includes acetyl L-carnitine, which is an aid in repairing peripheral nerve damage caused by excessive force and the "death grip" that many men employ while masturbating. Fun is fun, but proper care must be a priority!
