    Say, for example, you're in a monogamous relationship and have been for a few years now. But your sexual appetite is not being fulfilled by your partner. And say you found out that your partner has been "pleasing themself" without your knowledge or consent.

    Would you have reason enough to be upset?

    As in masturbation?

    Of course not. It's their body and their right to stimulate themselves. I would never assume to have a monopoly on someone else's sexuality.

    haha

    Yeah, having your partner masturbate has nothing to do with the level of skill in the bedroom, its natural. Everybody does it, and those that say they dont... do it more.

    I think what he means is they're doing it on their own *instead* of with you. I mean evidently they have the desire, so why not share it? I'd be very confused to say the least.

    Ok, so in more depth - I think it would obviously indicate a problem in the sexual part of the relationship, and the people involved should communicate why that occurs as it is obviously an issue and not fair to continue in that way, especially if it is a recent development.
    I don't know if upset is the right word(probably depends on the outcome of the communication), but I'd be confused and concerned.

    It depends on the circumstance. If one partner was having medical problems that prevented them from engaging in the act (cysts, kidney stones, cramps, a weird rash, yeast infection), then it would be OK. It would also be OK if one partner was away from the other for a long period of time (the partner is in the military or something).
    Personally - the fact that my partner covertly needed extra stimulation on the side would eat away at my self esteem. Sex is superior to masturbation, and I would happily engage in whatever they wanted any-time any-place......so them covertly pleasing themselves would mean I was not ideal.

    Even if you are almost 30, you can parlay that into something financially beneficial. Loook for an older wealthy woman.

    i think that would warrant a discussion. i don't think it would help anything to be upset though.

    Eh, it's funny what you don't notice when you're preoccupied.

    I've been in a relationship for four years now. Our sexual activity ebbs and flows, but my rate of masturbation remains steady, regardless of how much we have sex. This is true for most men. As for women, I'll let one of the ladies answer.

    My husband has been working 12 hr days lately. His masturbation rate has decreased to almost nil. Our sex rate has stayed the same. I don't masturbate for personal non-husband reasons.

    I stand corrected. Work does effect my yank-rate. During peak seasons at work--when I'm there like 12 hours--I come home, shower and usually veg on the couch with little interest in my wiener (beyond a drainage point for my bladder), no matter who's touching it.

    People don't always get horny at a time that is appropriate to have sex with their boyfriend/girlfriend.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I always have a surge in libido at around noon. Used to have them at random times of day when I was 16/17..

    What's your issue? Speaking of yanking your cord, do you get off by following my posts and sending insults every chance you get? Is that what turns you on? It's getting old. You would think that being a guy of your age, you'd have a little more maturity and respect. This is the 3rd time in just a few days you've acted like an ass toward me without me saying a word to you. Your behavior is uncalled for, immature and unappropriate for this forum - and highly unappreciated.

    I don't think masturbation would upset anyone, as it's done by everyone.

    Some people have a very high libido, some very low. So, if there is an obvious difference between libidos, that could upset the relationship in general. Masturbation is not sex after all.
