Sure it's normal. I don't know how common it is, but there's nothing abnormal about ducking into the other room to masturbate when your sex partner is home. Do you think it would hurt his feelings and that's why you're asking about it? My partner doesn't care and he looks at internet porn and gets off with me in the room. We consider that to be personal quality time and none of each other's business really.

as an alternative, you can always ask him to come fuck you if you are uneasy with masturbating with him in the house.

ask him to join you.

Guys! you both know sometimes jerking off is it's own thing. It's quicker and easier; it allows you complete control and I don't and never have considered it a ''substitution'' for sex. True, sometimes only sex will do. That has to do with drive, horniness, aching for someone else's touch.

On the other hand masturbation is an instant way to relieve boredom, anxiety and sexual tension without it being about anyone but you. You can't say that doesn't have its merits. And don't tell me any of you ever stop masturbating just cause you are in a relationship.

no, I think you normal. I think you were very generous actually doing it yourself and leaving your partner to watch telly.

He might just want to watch.

as long as it is not having an effect on your sex life, i dont see a problem in it. I know that there are times that hubs locks himself in the master bathroom while the kids and i are home and rubs one out because he is stressed out. Hell, i masturbated while i was in the bath last night and the whole family was home! kids were in bed and hubs was watching basketball in our room. didnt stop us from having sex later!

It's so nice you brought this issue up. As men, as well as women, retire it can stress a relationship and put a crimp on our normal routines. Many studies report that, for men, masturbation and even sex, in general, often increases shortly after retirement. More time and energy along with opportunity for personal growth being key factors. Rather than hiding from him, I suggest you buy toys for him and encourage him to masturbate more. In this way, he will become used to it and then you can open up to him about your needs. You can both make space and privacy for each other to explore and nurture your personal needs.

I don't know sounds ok

Didn't hurt yourself or others so all good hey?

Good for you. Keep it up. There is nothing more exciting than thinking about your partner doing this. Nothing more erotic than catching them doing it either. And, if you are thinking about your husband while doing it, all the better. Hell, try video taping it and send it to his cell phone while he's in the other room. Tell him just to watch and enjoy. Maybe he'll make you late for work. Enjoy yourself as often as the mood strikes you.

There are times when we need a little alone time for various reasons. Sometimes, masturbation is simply a little escape that we all need for our own sanity!

I enjoy it so much. Is good and could be amazing when you do it with your partner in front of each other. Is nothing bed about masturbation
Indeed is giving you pleasure

Years ago I went through a long recovery after a work accident. Single, discouraged and in therapy, my therapist encouraged me to not think of masturbation as something kids do before they get to be adults and have "real sex". Basically she was telling me to let go of the stigma and in words I will never forget, "masturbate as much as you like and don't worry about doing it too much" That was a seminal moment for me
