I told my wife when we first married that I masturbate. And how much I was masturbating when we met. She told me she did not have a problem with that. She knew guys masturbate and she did too. I masturbated all through our marriage and she always got sex from me when she wanted. I stopped masturbating in private and only did it with her for the last few years before she passed away.

We co habitated for about a year before we married. We had sex 2-3 times a week and I masturbated about 2 times a week in the shower in the morning before work. Just before she died we were having sex about 1-2 times a month and I was masturbating a couple times a week in our bed in front of her which she always enjoyed. Now I'm masturbating about 4 times a week. We were married over 34 years.

If my wife was into it I might try, but since she has never asked or shown desire to strap on one or play with my butt then it's not happening.

Not that I know of by family. I'm sure my Mom knew I masturbate just like anyone I've lived with. Roommate walked in on me once and GF did while I was masturbating in the shower. Instead of asking GF to leave bathroom because I was embarrassed, I should have thrown the curtain open and saw what she would have done. My wife has never caught me, but I told her years ago that I masturbate.

For a couple reasons. One. I like to masturbate. It is something I've been doing since 13 and very pleasurable. Nothing wrong with taking care of my needs when she is not up to it. And I always offer myself first to her. The second reason would be just because we are married does not mean that she is in the mood as much as I am. For me sex is not fun if she is just doing it to please me. I, like most guys, have been masturbating regularly since puberty started. By the time we marry masturbating is just what we do, like eating and breathing. And the more sex I get the more I masturbate.

I think that it is interesting to read about other guys being honest about masturbating. That most guys started around 12-13 and still masturbate to this day. I think that is more the norm, but since we don't share our masturbation with anyone then we really don't know if it is just me or does everybody else do it. So we get off on our "secret bad boy habit" because we are being naughty. Now only if we were prepared for what was to come. If our parents had told us that at about 13 we would start getting erections and those erections need to be taken care of. That it is OK, just make sure you take care of them in private. We would not have been so freaked out wondering if what we are doing is ok and normal. I shared my masturbation with my wife when we met back in the early 80's as I've done with all of my previous sexual relationships because I masturbate and I'll not be sneaking around. So I have had someone to talk to about masturbating which to me is a turn on and she likes it that I masturbate. All of the girls I've known have liked to watch me masturbate, and none were ever paranoid that I would be masturbating instead of having sex with them. I always thought it was because I've always kept my body in shape and I have a nice dick.

She is steady 3-4 times a month. Sometimes I have to work on it but that's part of the fun. When she's not in the mood she tells me "you do it" Which means go ahead and masturbate.

The last time my wife was gone for any amount of time was a couple years ago when she was in the hospital recovering from surgery.
For those 5-6 days I had that feeling to masturbate like I did when I was in puberty. I was looking forward to my daily alone time and filled my wife in on "our" sex life without her during every visit.

Masturbation would be fine. The Bible does not approve or disapprove of masturbation.
Christian men and women masturbate.

I've gone maybe a couple weeks without masturbating but it was not intentional. Have never thought about abstaining. I'm like most guys, have been masturbating regularly ever since I started getting erect. Now I masturbate a couple times a week and in the weeks when my wife wants some dick I do it maybe once a week. I find my orgasms are better when I am more stimulated not how often I go off.
