Masturbating To Sensual Clothing

Many men and women have likely at least considered masturbating to an attractive member of the opposite gender at least once in their lives.  Perhaps they saw this person in a scene from a film, in a random image on the internet, or at some point during the day.  Psychologically excited by the sight, presence, or memory of the person in question, they thought about sexually stimulating themselves to thoughts of that encounter.  Perhaps they acted upon this desire.  Regardless, most of the things about a person that are sexually admired in such a context have nothing to do with sexuality--including body parts like the chest, buttocks, or arms.

It is not merely erotica that can incite or exacerbate a desire to masturbate, after all.  Things observed randomly in daily life can arouse the sexual excitement of random onlookers of the opposite gender, irrespective of their actual nature in relation to sexuality.  Just as nonsexual personality traits can ignite a sexual attraction that makes people desire to pleasure themselves while thinking of the person whose traits they find arousing, nonsexual clothing types of men and women can ignite sexual attraction in the opposite gender to the point of stirring up the desire to masturbate to the people wearing them.

It is not as if women do not practice the inverse of this, or as if the specific men who do masturbate to actresses they find sexy or to coworkers or select friends of the opposite gender do so simply because they are men.  Thus, the popular belief that only men or all men practice this is asinine and sexist, as is the belief that it is somehow degrading or perverted when men do it and not objectionable when women do it.  Both genders can appreciate sensual imagery of the opposite gender, and both genders might find some of that sensual imagery sexually exciting.

However, the issue at hand is the fact that the men who masturbate to certain women in bikinis (or other revealing clothing) and women who masturbate to shirtless men (or men who are otherwise uncovered) are deriving sexual stimulation from nonsexual and ordinary things.  Men and women are free to pleasure themselves to images and thoughts of certain members of the opposite gender they find sexy without fearing that doing so brings confusion about the distinction between sexual and nonsexual stimuli.

A woman masturbating to a shirtless or naked man or a man masturbating to a woman in a bikini can be fully aware that there is nothing sexual about showing the human body and enjoy self-pleasuring all the more for this paradoxical fact!  Sexual attraction sparked by nonsexual things like aesthetic beauty, personality traits, and revealing clothing is already paradoxical, but every person who masturbates to someone of the opposite gender in swimwear or some other such clothing pleasures himself or herself to a sensual but nonsexual thing.
