I thought I'd stop masturbating after we got married, and did for the first six months or so. Howeer, when I was away from my wife on a business trip alone at night the old urge became irrisistable. I kept getting spontaneous hardons, and reverted to the teenage practice of one before sleep and another before getting out of bed in the morning.

Actually when my ex and I were dating I never jerked off, well very rare. We would have sex three times a day so no need to. When we got married the sex died down and I found myself jerking off all the time. In the bathroom before work, went to porn shops in the booths, or while driving to work. I think it is natural for a guy to want to masturbate even if you are married. Sometimes you just need a quick release and easier to jerk.

When we were first married, we'd have sex several times a day, then once a day, then 3 times a week, and it stayed that way for years, and I masturbated the entire time, increasing as the sex decreased. Then she went through menopause and it slowed down to once a week, then once month, and I was jacking a lot. I suffer from low testosterone and I take shots every 2 weeks, so I am horny all the time. We talked it over, and the wife mentioned that she wouldn't mind it if I relieved myself when I felt the need, and she didn't, but she wanted to watch when I did. Now it's not unusual for us to be watching TV and I pull down my pants and work off a load with her sitting there watching. Kind of fun actually, I always liked being watched.

Guess my story is similar to all the others here. Very early in our marriage (1st year or two) the number of times we had sex may have exceeded the number of times I masturbated but that soon changed as the frequency of sex decreased and the frequency of masturbation increased.

That ratio has continued to widen as we have both aged and it's probably about 1 to 20 now (one sexual encounter to every 20 times I masturbate). Since I masturbate 2 to 3 times a week, that means that sex only occurs about once every 8 weeks.

When my wife and I were on our second date, we were making out and my cock was hard as a rock. When it came time to take her home, I told her I was going to relieve myself when I got back home. She said, "You mean masturbate?" I told her that I masturbated twice a day and had been since I was 10yo. She said she wanted to watch, so I took out my cock, lubed it up, and stroked till I shot a huge load.

She admitted she liked masturbating too, but only did it a couple times a week. When we finally had sex, it was great. We fucked almost every day for two years. We got married, and would fuck 4 or 5 times a week, sometimes staying in bed all day on Saturdays. I still masturbated though. Never stopped.

Now, my wife gets in the mood 2 to 3 times a month, but I still jack off every day. Yesterday I jacked off twice, and my wife got horny at night and I fucked her and came again. I right back to stroking this morning.

I can honestly say, if I had to give up masturbation or sex, I'd give up sex. No one can make me cum as good as I can make myself cum.

Sex is about pleasing my partner, masturbation is about pleasing me.

I continued masturbating several times a day when I was married or living with women. As SloStroker notes, it's a different thing. I have been committed to masturbation ever since I started to do it at the age of seven and it is of the deepest importance to me. If for some reason, I am unable to masturbate on any given day, I feel a sense of great frustration until I am able to do so. I've always enjoyed by masturbated by women - I prefer to be wanked than to be sucked off - but also have the need to do it alone, to get nude on my own with plenty of time ahead of me and play with myself while lying in bed or sitting in front of a mirror, teasing pleasure out of my penis and building slowly to the moment of ejaculation. I can't imagine a life without masturbation.

My experience is just about the same as many others here. I started jacking at about 14...2 to 3 times a day. After I married I jacked about once or twice a week, as time grew on I have jacked more each week...where now a jack almost daily and fuck once a week...if she's in the mood.

SloStroker you said it so well.. Masturbating is like eating, once you start you won't stop. Same with intercourse. Moreso for masturbation I believe. Most mornings, as most men, I wake horny because of higher blood testosterone levels at night, reach down and double wrap two soft blankets around my cock and just fucking enjoy! We all know, but no matter how much good actual sex we have, we'll never stop masturbating.

I love the last phrase where you said "sex is about pleasing the partner, masturbating is about pleasing myself".

So true. I love jacking off as much as possible, even at age 47. I started somewhere around the age of 10 I think. I was sexually mature at an early age and remember getting pubes in the fourth grade. I'd jack off three and four times a day in the height of puberty, masturbated frequently during my marriage, and more now then ever. Now on my best horny day (being single again) I jack off three times a day, but that's not often.

Still love it though!

Actually, my wife and I have become best JO buds. We JO together almost everyday and only have intercourse 3 or 4 times a month. Sometimes if she's not in the mood and I am she will help me out by snuggling up, sucking on my nipples and even sticking a finger or two up my ass while I JO. When I finish, it's back to business as usual for her. She's a great sport.

My wife and I usually fuck once a week but, I try to jack off everyday. Love the C2C. I am really enjoying watching guys cum. I enjoy cumming for them too.

Your responses confirmed my suspicions about masturbation increasing as married life gets longer

Most people would say that wanking is the abnormality and that fucking is the norm. But our lives show us that this is not so, we spend our whole adult lives as wankers with this wanking for some period being modified by it being not our hand bringing us to orgasm but a woman's cunt.

I just JO while my wife was out. With 1 day this month, i JO 12 times and had sex with my wife twice. This is close to normal for me b

i am sorry you have this :-(

I guess I'm the odd man out. I stared masturbating at around 12 or 13. I did it about once a day most every day of my life. I was never popular with girls. Super geeky nerd so that led to me jacking off more. I didn't fuck a girl till I was 21 and to be honest I was somewhat let down. It just wasn't everything I though it was going to be. I jacked off all through that relationship. She didn't care. I broke up with her and didn't have another gf for about a year and half. Of course during that time I was jacking but still more like once a day. After I got married my jacking increased to twice a day. My wife caught me once an nearly divorced me over it. She still thinks i quit years ago. After about 5 years of marriage I was jacking anywhere from twice to 5 times a day. Only now at 61 have i finally slowed down but Tuesday I had 3 great cums. All during my 36 year marriage i have always jacked more than fucked.
