Actually, even though I've been masturbating for many years now, I can understand why a person would not want their partner to masturbate. It can seem like masturbation is an act that dissociates the human sexual response from its role as a connection between people, and makes it into something not emotionally involved and purely carnal.
Certainly there are people for whom masturbation contributes to an unhealthy attitude toward sex overall, but this is not the case for everyone. Masturbation can enrich a person's sexual contact with their partner--for example, I think it is the opinion of most people on this board (myself included) that most women could use more masturbation in their lives, in order to learn about their own sexual responses.
Furthermore I think most people with a goodly amount of experience with both masturbation and partner-sex would hate the idea of never being able to have any sex other than masturbation for the rest of their lives. This, to me, is the important feature that masturbation does not share with cheating on your partner: masturbation can never be a satisfactory substitute for partner-sex, whereas sex with Person B can theoretically supplant sex with Person A.
If my boyfriend told me he wanted me to stop masturbating, I would explain to him why I think my masturbation makes me MORE, not less, willing and able to see sex as a special act of bonding between the two of us, rather than as a purely bodily activity.
Just ignore the marketing bots *sighs*
