Sometimes I think I have a problem, because I'm horny so very often. Then again, I'm 21 so I suppose thats normal.
I read once that, in a lot of people, the "horny" stage can be more stimulating than the actual sex and climax (having to do with the release of endorphins, etc).
That resonates with me all too well. I sometimes enjoy the "horny" stage more than the actual sex act. I enjoy being horny for days at a time, resisting the urge to jerk off until I can't stand it anymore.
During the state of horny-ness its almost like I'm under the influence of drugs (and in a sense, I am, if we concede that endorphins have an opiate-like effect). I become slightly more uninhibited. I've never taken ecstasy, but judging by the stories I've heard from friends who have, I would say its something like that. Every touch becomes more sensual, even slightly erotic. I'll pop a boner just walking to class or riding my bike.
Going to sleep horny and waking up horny is great. Horny dreams are always the best, even when they are completely non-sexual. They're always so vivid and intense. The period before you fall asleep and right after you wake up is the most intense. The time when you are still partially conscious but aren't in complete control of your thoughts and you slip in and out of consciousness.
When I wake up still horny, I just lay in the bed for an hour or two in an almost-trance-like state. Its during those trance-like events that I have these weird moments of clarity, as odd as that probably sounds. During one of these times, I half-dreamed, half-imagined (I was awake, so not really a dream) that my friend (a female) was lying beside me, head on my chest. It was mostly non-sexual but it was during that time that I finally realized that I had "more-than-friend" feelings for her. I told her later that day and we were together for ~3 years. We split only because she moved across the country for school.
Its really a high in the truest sense of the word. Like I'm on cloud 9.
It can be a delicate equilibrium to try to balance, though, at least for me. Resisting the urge to jack and remaining in a state of horny-ness for a few days is great, but much beyond that and its just annoying and blue balls are quite painful.
But..umm..I've probably typed too much. You guys all probably think I'm completely loony. Perhaps I am, slightly. Hey, I was just being honest. LOL =)
