I voted "I'm not sure". I wouldn't have a cock avatar, animated or not. And I love masturbating! I just can't see representing myself with pictures like that. I'm not offended by them, I'm not attracted to them, but I'm not totally comfortable with them either.
I'm with Satyr and Ling-Li.
If it doesn't turn me on so intensely that I have to masturbate, I don't write it.
The story line is never clear to me until I get into the writing. My training and years of experience with technical writing enable me to go straight from fantasy to the keyboard. So I "experience" the story as it appears on the screen. And I get extremely aroused! Especially as the final scenes of seduction and climax become clear to me. I type as long as I can, then I masturbate, and keep on typing. With some stories, I even have to masturbate during the editting!
I haven't had a story rejected or pulled off. Yet.
I really hope it never happens. I've never seen myself as a rebel, or rule-breaker, or the guy at the party who wears a lampshade and becomes office gossip for a week. And when it DOES happen, I feel rather bad about it. If one of my stories were pulled, and I knew why, I would probably try to rewrite it so it slipped under the rules and got published. but that's me.
I was thirteen. I had discovered that washing my penis felt good, so I was sitting on the edge of the tub lathering it up and stroking it. This time it felt better than usual. I soon had my very first erection. I kept rubbing it until suddenly, my brain got all fuzzy and dizzy for a moment. I had no idea what had happened, but it was strangely good. I repeated this every time I took a bath, having no idea that I was engaging in any kind of sex. Maybe a few months later, I met my new neighbors, and their red-headed daughter who was about my age. That night I dreamed about her and had my first ejaculation. After I woke up (with my shorts wet!), I experimented in the dark and discovered how to do it again. I was doing it several times every night from then on.
I really don't care how one spells it. I just like to do it. And I enjoy knowing that others do it too.
Omigod, this is my first post at this site!
As a male, I discovered early that the available porn was either boring, monotonous (which is boring), unconvincing (totally boring), or abusive (totally not erotic). I may watch one porn movie a year, if that. Over the years I have gravitated to erotic stories as my main source of erotic stimulation. But they have to be very convincing, somewhat kinky, and have no trace of abuse or manipulation. The idea of slapping a woman in the face with my penis leaves me cold, very cold.
