Guys, In a happy, healthy, long term relationship, how many times a week is it normal to masturbate?

Question

We've been together for 3 years, we live together and have sex ~roughly~ every other day. I masturbate once a week, but I know my boyfriend does more. Just wondering to other guys in happy, long term relationships, how often do you? Does the more you do it, mean you're less happy with your partner?

I live with someone (my fiancee) We have sex 3-6 times a week ---sometimes 2-3 times in a day on the weekend when we have time. She has some sex toys that she uses almost every day which I think is way hot. I also masturbate 2-3 times a week and it does not interfere with our sex lives at all. Sometimes she will join me when I masturbate and we both have fun orgasms. Your thoughts?

Why not just both of you have more real sex instead of playing with yourselves? If you masturbate once per week and he does it twice per week, it means you should have real sex once more per week. lol.

I want real pussy. I can play with myself when I'm single, but if I'm in a relationship I want the real thing, screw masturbation!

Nothing to do with how happy you are with your partner. Has to do with individuals - how often they get horny, what their schedules and those of their partners are, what sex drive their partners have, etc

In a healthy relationship with roughly the same amount of sex as you described, I'd say once a week for me or less as opposed to the every day masturbation as a single person.

Sometimes it's nice to have a really relaxing sexual session when we just masturbate to each other -- it's actually especially hot watching her masturbate as she watches me doing that

A man won't ever stop rubbing one out but He sure as hell doesn't have to do it as much if He has a great relationship.

Whether or not if I'm single or in a relationship, I masturbate every day

Well in healthy relationship you shouldn't have to masturbate at all, like with my ex I never had to at all unless we were apart.

to your last question, not for me - i have a higher sex drive than my wife. we have sex 3-5+ times a week and i masturbate about 5 times a week - and she knows and is ok with it. but that's what works for me and us :)

It is generally unrelated to their partner, unless they're a porn addict. If you're a 'porn-widow', he'd rather jerk off to porn than do his woman. Sick, I know, but reality.
