For a total DIY... absolutely nothing. If my hormones are raging to the point I need to "get off".... then a little quite time, maybe soft relaxing music, candle light. I focus on touch and how my body responds.... it always responds well.
Well I would say for sure it is thinking about guys I know or that I saw during the day and fantasize about. If I really want a guy then it can become an obsession and I'll just lie in bed and think about what we might do together and what he would do to me to turn me on, stuff like that. Second would be reading stories I guess. Some of the stories do really get me turned on, but usually I put the image of a guy or girl I know into the story so I can more easily picture what they look like. Also there are certain things I haven't done yet and I will imagine that happening and that's pretty good.
I went with imagining someone to have sex with. Imagination is a terrible thing to waste. ;)

Imagination. Every time.
Though occasionally a few pictures of a friend can help to kickstart the imaginative process.
It's normally ''imagining specific guys or guys I want to know". Written erotica as well.
I think porn movies are over acted. I think a well written story is more of a turn on than a movie; unless the movie has a story line besides "let's fuck" and has real erotic sensual sex. no matter the sex acts, so long as it goes with the story line and seems real
Definitely imagining certain guys. I have a certain video on my phone of a guy that gets me very excited. Hearing him say my name on the video sends the best chills up and down my spine.
I cum very easily and quickly, so it just takes a couple minutes of fantasizing and rubbing my clitty. Most porn is so bad, it doesn't do a thing for me.
Its often written material
The only time porn videos have ever worked for me is when watching with my lover. Usually I am just plain horny so I am like Bethany... just a few minutes of focused thought or fantasy, and I am good to go (or should I say... cum!)
I have to say it's not so much the images of porn that I get off to but the sounds coming from it. I will usually close my eyes, rub for a bit and I'm a goner. I also love having someone in my ear whether that's listening to a video they have made, phone call, voicemail etc. I guess you could say I enjoy oral stimulation in all forms ;)
I definitely like roleplay, especially with Men i may end up meeting in person.
Like some of the posters here, my prime choice for getting off is not on the poll. I wouldn't really use any of those options, but I make up erotic stories in my head and let my imagination go wild!
Until I found lush and read the stories I relied on porn. I avoided the professional stuff and the sex studs. Some of the casting couch ones were not bad, most of the girls looked like they knew what they were getting into and didn't over act. The ones I enjoyed most were the home made ones and student activity where the couples were amateur but experienced enough to be able to fuck well and not get too noisy. I don't like listening to fake moaning ALL the time. Watching them cum genuinely turned me right on as to watch a woman have a full and very active satisfying orgasm is a real turn on for me as I am very active when I cum myself. Obviously many were made with a third party using the camera and I wondered at times how amateur they were. Others used web cams or tripods and some quite inventive in the way they used the camera and their positioning. I used to film myself masturbating years ago but no longer posses a camera or video.
Then I found LUSH. The stories now satisfy my desire to enjoy reading about others who enjoy sex as much as I do. Fact or fantasy, I enjoy both and have relived quite a few with my partners.
