I will sometimes touch myself in the mornings. (sometimes = often) But I rarely masturbate to climax because it takes me forever in the morning. Anyone else experience this?

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
