This is too damn funny.
Reddit user Redditteej23 asked all the fellas over at AskReddit which things they were sure all guys do, or have done.
And some of the answers are awesome.
So, men of GMP—are the Men of Reddit correct?

When I’m in the shower, I day dream about criminals breaking into my home to harm my family and how I would be a hero and fucking kill all the bad guys. I’m an adult man and have been doing this since forever.
Scratch and/or rearrange your junk through your pants pocket.
Discover a wild nose hair that has breached your nostril, and rip it out with your fingers.
The glorious outdoor piss. Most girls will never experience the sheer ethereal elation that emerges from the deepest pits of your manliness as you bequeath your stream to nature’s gentle caress.
Fantasize of the scenario of how you’d stylishly disarm, ninja-fight, and incapacitate the crazy gunman that just took over your office/classroom/crowded place, while everyone watches and all the women visibly swoon over your manliness.
Find attractive girls wildly more attractive if you know them in real life versus pictures.
The “Al Bundy”: tuck one hand into the waistband of your pants, with the thumb sticking out, usually while reclined on the couch. If there’s a more comfortable way to watch TV, I haven’t found it.
Here’s a classic man moment: When your girlfriend drags you to a women’s clothing store and you and some other miserable bastard who is also chained to his girl lock eyes and shrug.

So how ’bout it guys? Are these guys right?
What would you add?

One thing that stood out to me as I read the list: Y’all have complex relationships with your penises. I find it fascinating. Maybe because they’re external and therefore very in-your-face every time you’re naked or going to the bathroom? Maybe because they do all sorts of interesting stuff of their own will? Maybe because they’re just fun to play with? I dunno, it just seems like men spend more time thinking about/interacting with their penises than women do with their genitals. I wonder, if a similar list were made for women, would masturbation habits show up as much, or… Read more »
High high sex drives + great feeling from orgasms = lots of masturbation. If anything it’s a sign that the guys commenting here probably aren’t getting laid enough?
Women masturbating less could be a sign that women’s need for sex is met far more than men’s, that on average their desire for sex is lower and thus more men masturbate more frequently. I am at least once a day yet women I’ve known have usually been once a week if that.
Personally I think getting laid and masturbating fulfill somewhat different needs. Same core need – sexual release – but with nuances. I’m sure people who don’t have sex frequently enough for their liking probably masturbate more, but even someone with a satisfying sex life probably enjoys a little solo time, right? Like you said, it’s relaxing, it feels good, and getting it out of the system can help one go on with the rest of one’s day. I know that a lot of the time when I get the impulse, I feel I have to follow through with it or… Read more »
Oh now KKZ. You’re going to take something from this thread over to another space but not extend the courtesy in the other direction? Y’all have complex relationships with your penises. Yes we do. There’s a lot more going on besides “I must put it in as many women as possible.” that has propped up way too many times as the representation of the relationship between a man and his penis. Remember than unlike women and their genitals we are simultaneously taught they are a vital part of our gender identity in terms of sex (as in a real man… Read more »
Well, technically I’m taking the Reddit thread over to the other community. This article just brought that thread to my attention. The community over there is rather more intimate than both Reddit and GMP and I think I might make some enemies if I were to take our forum post there and bring it back here…but maybe I could blog about the findings without revealing anyone? Vagina dentata, I thought, was more about a male fear of the female sex than about women thinking their own vaginas are dangerous? But I don’t know a whole lot about that. What I… Read more »
…but maybe I could blog about the findings without revealing anyone? I’d be pretty interested in hearing what they would have to say. Maybe you could do a post here at GMP and instead of mentioning the exact forum you are talking about you could just say, “I ran this past some women I know….”? Vagina dentata, I thought, was more about a male fear of the female sex than about women thinking their own vaginas are dangerous? But I don’t know a whole lot about that. Vagina dentata itself may be that and actually I think you have a… Read more »
I’m not sure GMP is the proper venue for an article all about women (not that we’ve never done it here before) but I can definitely put something together. I have a WordPress account and have been thinking about starting a second blog for my gender-related musings. The thread I started is still pretty young so I want to see if I can collect some more answers. Dirty more than dangerous – yeah, I’d agree with that. And maybe not even “dirty” necessarily, but overall ugly. I’m not exactly keen to look at my own parts. A couple times during… Read more »

“Spend more time trying to find the ‘right’ porn than actually masturbating” LOL LOL THIS THIS!!!!!! sometimes searching for porn could be last hours and masturbating only last minute lol. “When you take a shit you make sure your dick doesnt touch the toilet.” LOL, i remember once my dick touch it and get so freaked out and immediately cleaned my dick with so much soap lol “Fantasize of the scenario of how you’d stylishly disarm, ninja-fight, and incapacitate the crazy gunman that just took over your office/classroom/crowded place, while everyone watches and all the women visibly swoon over your… Read more »
Haha, from the list on reddit, not pulled out above:
Procrasturbating. Whacking off when you have something better to do but don’t want to do it.
Alright, now that I’ve read the whole list: f-king hilarious. I don’t think a list for women would be nearly as funny as this one is. (And I’d like to think I’m laughing *with* you all, not at you.)
I do that. Haha, but sometimes it’s to calm down anxiety/adrenaline if I am too jittery, mellows me right out n lets me focus better.
Yup, I’m also guilty. (Guilty but not ashamed, that is!)
I’d say hi 5 but…..
ROFL! Good one. 🙂
The Ninja and the shower one are just variations of the same thing. My personal daydream in that vain is planning the most effective route round the building I work in to clear it of bad guys using nothing more than office supply’s.
All of these! Especially the ninja one. I think deep down inside all men wish they were a Jet Li character.
Damn, I’m 20 and I was hoping that Ninja fantasy bullshit would go away eventually…
“When I’m in the shower, I day dream about criminals breaking into my home to harm my family and how I would be a hero and fucking kill all the bad guys. I’m an adult man and have been doing this since forever.” I don’t have a family, but I have been fantasizing single-man variants since forever as well. “Scratch and/or rearrange your junk through your pants pocket.” Many times. “Discover a wild nose hair that has breached your nostril, and rip it out with your fingers.” I confess, I use nail-scissors. “The glorious outdoor piss. Most girls will never… Read more »
And all men enjoy a good wank. Women (I’m told) think that men only jerk off out of desperation. In actuality, however, jacking-off is no more meaningful than opening a beer. It just feels good.
I wholeheartedly agree, trouble is, I was raised on GUILT! My father said, “Leave yourself and the girls alone.” I don’t think he ever realised what option that left me!
Yes women really don’t get this. They think there is a much deeper meaning to it. I on the other hand cannot understand how women can tolerate not masturbating. Don’t they get pent up?
Maxx:
Somebody is lying to you Maxx! 🙂
Or you need to educate yourself better.
“In 2009, the UK Government joined the Netherlands and other European nations in encouraging teens to masturbate at least daily.”

I’ve never been to a clothing store with my girlfriend because I am gay- I guess that means I’m not a real guy. Shucks.
I laughed the whole way through this especially about ninga fighting a bad guy ..hahaha so true.
I drink water, so do most men:P
All these things I have done. LOL.
