Self-love is something that most people indulge in behind closed doors, but can remain a taboo topic for some.
One man who has no qualms about talking about it, however, is Masanobu Sato, who broke the world record or the longest masturbation session in 2009.
While his feat isn't marked in the Guinness World Records as it's not a category they endorse, Sato's achievement was recorded and acknowledged by the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco as part of its annual ‘Masturbate-a-thon’ fundraiser.
But how long did he manage to keep going for?
Well, a whopping - and probably quite excruciating - nine hours and 58 minutes.
Yes, you read that correctly - almost 10 hours straight.
The record was certified by the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco as part of its annual ‘Masturbate-a-thon’ fundraiser, which encourages people to raise money for charity while busting the taboos that still surround self-pleasure.
Sato, who lives in Japan and worked at a sex toy manufacturer called Tenga, took part in the ninth annual masturbate-a-thon.
But how does one keep going for such an insane length of time?
Well, he brought an arsenal of "masturbating aids" with him, according to Digital Spy, and managed to beat his own previous world record of nine hours and 33 minutes thanks to his abundant imagination, too.
He told Vice after the event: "My abundant imagination was a key to my triumph, firstly. Secondly, I trained a lot in Japan from the time I won first prize last year.
"I swam twice a week and gained about five kilograms in muscle weight. That helped me a lot, too in terms of stamina.
"Thirdly, the variety of sensations each Tenga gave me was ideal for long masturbation. Without the variety of sensations, my d**k would feel the same sensation for a long time - I used as many as ten different ones so that my d**k avoids being paralyzed."
Yeah, that wouldn't be ideal.
He also thanked his family for "transferring" him some "good DNA", claiming that his "natural body traits were something special".
While the thought of masturbating for 10 hours straight would leave most people reaching for some ointment (or indeed a skin graft), others have also attempted to come for Sato's crown.
Drake Hardy claimed in 2018 that he'd beaten Sato's record time by masturbating for a huge 10 hours and 10 minutes.
He told Mel Magazine: "I knew I could beat it. Actually, I’ve beat the record, but by myself, without a witness. I figured there’s a world record for something I happen to be pretty good at, and have a chance of beating.
"Who hasn’t dreamed of being the best in the world at something?"
Hardy also claimed he wanted to go for Sato's record at the masturbate-a-thon, adding: "I want to share my experiences with others in the hope that their journey to sexual freedom can be shorter, better informed and more open and honest — with themselves and others.”
Here's hope they have an ice pack for afterward.
