The world record holder for the ‘longest time spent masturbating’ claimed his secret to success was his ‘abundant imagination’.
There are some weird and wonderful stunts recorded by Guinness World Records.
American author Donald A. Gorske, 71, is listed as eating a whopping 34,128 Big Macs in his lifetime. Meanwhile, Zhang Jingkun is known for making the most bunny hops on a bike’s rear wheel onto a bar in one minute (14) in 2022.
But not every feat is included in the ledger. In fact, Guinness World Records refuses to accept or monitor environmentally unfriendly records, or any that involve tobacco or cannabis.

Another record that has been marked elsewhere is the world’s longest masturbation session, completed by Masanobu Sato in 2009.
This mean feat has been recorded and acknowledged by the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco as part of its annual ‘Masturbate-a-thon’ fundraiser.
The event encourages people to fundraise for charity while dispelling the shame and taboo that still surrounds self-pleasure today.
In 2009, Japan resident Sato, who worked at a sex toy manufacturer named Tenga, competed in the ninth annual Masturbate-a-thon.
He brought an arsenal of ‘masturbating aids’ to the competition, as per Digital Spy, and managed to keep going for a staggering nine hours and 58 minutes.
Amazingly, Sato actually held the previous world record of nine hours 33 minutes too—making him somewhat of a pro.
Speaking to Vice after the event, the world record holder confirmed that he washed his hands and penis before starting and revealed his long-lasting secret was his ‘abundant imagination’.
“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,” he told the publication.
“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.”
He then went on to thank his family for ‘transferring’ him some ‘good DNA’, remarking that his ‘natural body traits were something special’.
Interestingly, Sato isn’t the only person who enjoys a marathon masturbation session.
In 2018, Drake Hardy claimed he had beaten Sato’s record-holding time by going at it for a whopping ten hours and ten minutes.
Speaking to Mel Magazine, the man said: “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.
He continued “Who hasn’t dreamed of being the best in the world at something?"
Hardy claimed he was interested in competing in the Masturbate-a-thon so that he could inspire people to have ‘open and honest’ sexual freedom.
“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.”
At the moment, Sato’s record still stands. But who knows, it could be Hardy being inducted into the Center for Sex and Culture in the future.
