im baffled by the amount of people that use lube to masterbate and say that dry masturbation chafes.... I have always dry masterbated, i have tried lube a couple of times though. If you dry masterbate, you hold onto the penis and move the skin up and down, this doesn't cause chafing because there is no friction between your hand and the skin. Your skin is designed to do this during sex. If using lube, you obviously have a looser grip and simulate the motion during sex by sliding your hand up and down the penis. For those of you that have never dry masterbated by holding onto your penis, try it. It's much easier and i find that i climax a lot quicker and it generally feels nicer too. Lube is messy and doesn't feel that good i think.
