In a remarkable feat of endurance, Masanobu Sato has set a world record for the longest masturbation session, lasting an impressive nine hours and 58 minutes. This achievement took place at the Centre of Sex and Culture in San Francisco, where Sato surpassed his previous personal best of nine hours and 33 minutes.
The concept of a “masturbation month” began in 1998 when an adult shop in San Francisco initiated the event, leading to the first “masturbate-a-thon” in Europe in 2006. While these events initially drew little attention, they gained notoriety with Sato’s record-breaking performance in 2009.
Sato shared insights into his preparation with Vice, describing how his “abundant imagination” played a crucial role in his success. He emphasized the importance of physical training, revealing that he swam twice a week and gained approximately five kilograms of muscle to improve his stamina. He attributed the varied sensations from different Tenga products as essential for maintaining interest during the extended session.
“My d*** would feel the same sensation for a long time,” Sato explained, noting that he used up to ten different devices to avoid fatigue. His unique approach to the challenge has intrigued many and brought him a degree of fame.
Despite the impressive nature of his achievement, the record does not hold official status with Guinness World Records, which does not recognize records deemed overly vulgar. Sato’s notoriety has not faded; he remains active in the public eye, managing an Instagram account called “Masaturbation,” although it has a modest following of 421 users.
In addition to his record, Sato engages in kickboxing and observes “Foreskin Day” on April 4, a playful nod to his unique interests. Rumors have circulated about a potential book titled “How To Masturbate Properly,” although Sato has never confirmed its existence.
The Daily Star has reached out to Sato for further comment and to inquire whether he has attempted to break his own record since that historic day in 2009. His journey continues to captivate audiences, shining a light on an unconventional aspect of personal achievement.
