| Ditto with phones...Too much immediacy. I prefer online contact, or even leaving a message on voicemail or having one of my coworkers answer for me and commuincate my message. I have a hard time thinking of my feet and giving back an intelligent answer to a question quickly. |

From what little experience I have I can tell that generally if I'm tired and I haven't been very active I feel far more inclined to masturbate than if I'm tired and also exhausted from exerting myself.
