I'm glad it's fun for you, obseesed ... but, for many, like me, who've been sexually abused as a child, it is NOT fun - I feel it is most definitely a key to unlocking one of the many doors in my healing journey towards THRIVING instead of merely surviving ... yet, it is still a HUGE TRIGGER for intense feelings of shame - did I want to be abused, is it my fault? Even though I know logically that I had absolutely NO CONTROL over that as a child, my body doesn't - when I start to feel good, to enjoy myself I have to fight every second to hang on to the good feelings & not disociate (leave my body) & go completely numb.... Masturbation for me is a little by little process that has been underway for almost a year & still I don't get wet & have not had an orgasm - I usually feel nothing at all by myself, only when my current partner touches me *SIGH* The only "fun" I've had with masturbation was 2 nights ago when we were sleeping together & I woke up from a dream - I was masturbating ... at 1st I was embarrassed because I was starting to try to get his attention while doing so & I ended up turning over feeling ashamed ... in the morning, I asked him if it was a dream & he said it definitely wasn't, that he enjoyed it - for the 1st time in my life I felt happy that I'd masturbated! It's hard not to feel pity & anger for myself about this & I feel like crying just typing it here, but at the same time I'm proud that I finally made some milestone, some progress & I'm CHOOSING to hang on to THAT in hopes that masturbation will become a fun, enjoyable activity for me

hey everyone recently my girlfriend asked me to stop masterbating i was like pffftt no way but i was thinking maby if i do it will make sex better because my penis will have been untouched for a week or so am i correct or not?

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*
