Do you masturbate a lot when you’re in a relationship?

Question

No anxiety when one masturbates (other than the risk of getting caught if that is an issue in the relationship). Often anxiety is a big part of what comes from partner sex: anxiety about how I smell, how my body will perform, will my body perform, does my partner like me, my body, how my body reacts etc. For many people, unfortunately, relationship sex is filled with so much anxiety that it is not enjoyable
A person is tired and masturbation doesn't require the same level of effort, both mentally and physically to perform
It is not painful. For both men and women, relationship sex can be physically painful and the inability to resolve the pain or effectively discuss it with their partner leads to the desiring relationship sex less or avoiding it
A person is bored
A person is bored with their relationship and wants to play out a fantasy in their head
A person is stressed
Because they like it
They don't have to worry about getting rejected by their partner
Their partner is sick, has their period or just doesn't want it when the partner does
They want to do it quick or don't have the time required for relationship sex
Their partner is traveling or away from their partner
It's convenient, like in the shower in the morning or evening
It is their best attempt to remain faithful to the marriage because they are really unhappy and don't have anyway to resolve marital conflict outside the bedroom
They do not desire the kind of sex they will have with their partner
It's fun
They want to indulge in a fantasy that they are: too afraid, embarrassed or fear rejection from their partner to share with them
They just want an orgasm and they know how best to get there in the fastest way possible
To learn more about their own body and what they like and how to reach orgasm

Sometimes there is distance. Women kind of get it unfair on this one. y'all can rub your legs together to start a fire and just look like you're spacing out for a second. Get off 3 or 4 times a day and still be good to go. If I do the same I'm chafed, my balls hurt, it turns into no fun as a sustained effort for a guy :(

I think I masturbate more when in a relationship. More chances of being hot and heavy after talking or texting them.

I masturbate a lot regardless... The tricky part now is living with a kid who doesn't knock before entering...

Little21 · Answer

I masturbate at least 2-3 times per day whether I'm in a relationship or not. My sex life doesn't affect my masturbation habits at all.

Not when the relationship is hot and steamy, but yes when it’s cold and dying.

My partner more than satisfies me already. So, no need for "self-service" here. :)

Ideally I wouldn't have to. I'd prefer to get off with my partner every time I'm in the mood.

Lemia · Answer

Truth betold @WhiteShoulder I have never masturbated in my life. I just haven't had the urge to despite waiting for 31 years for a 16 years for a proper girlfriend. I dont count the first 15 as I wasn't actively looking for a girlfriend when I came out of the womb.
