A Good Thing

So, yesterday was Fat Tuesday. Did you all indulge in over-the-top food and drink in preparation for Lent?
We did. Naked City Pizza. (Though, sadly, neither the customers nor staff were naked.)
Faithful Reader Gabriel asked in a comment on Monday's post if it is typical for straight men to have to hide masturbation from their spouses/girlfriends.
I won't say it's typical but, sadly, the answer is that many men feel the need to hide the fact. Fear that their significant other will see it in the wrong light. Women have a tendency to become insecure when they find out their guy is jacking off - especially if the dude has some visual inspiration.

My own first wife expressed her discomfort by asking if she was "inadequate" in bed (no), was she not giving me enough (not the issue), did I no longer find her attractive (don't be silly). But she didn't believe those answers. Because, if I was being truthful, why was I jacking off?

I couldn't make her understand. Guys jack off for so many different reasons. The balls ache and the cock is hard demanding relief now.
To relieve anxiety, to relieve tension, to help us sleep.


We're bored and our cocks make for great entertainment to pass the time.

This is why, IMO, coming out of the closet with it (so to speak) is a good thing. The more society understands and accepts male masturbation for what it is, the better.

I agree and the more we ask and talk about things here on the Internet and with our friends, the more open and better off we shall all be. Speaking of this, I have talked to gay couples where one spouse is opposed to his partner wanking. I've spoken strongly about the need that each of us need as individuals to have time to make love to ourselves. It is an integral part of our sex life. Enjoy your day, my Friend. Hugs, Licks, and Strokes, AOM

If they feel the need to hide the fact, let them hide the fact. They'll change their mind when they will be feeling that it is boring and /or frustrating. Then they will try to seek the approval of their wife.
But I'm sure keeping this practice secret gives many of them extra pleasure. You know? The famous taste of the forbidden fruit. A taste that it would lose by being allowed.
By cons, the hugs and bisous that you allow me to send you, my darlings Jean and Pat, are always tasty.

masturbation is great! I don't know why women can't understand that!

I indulged in some some flute for fat Tuesday. I filled up.

I really appreciate you taking the time to explain it. As a gay man, it has never been a problem for me to watch a boyfriend jack off. Maybe he just needed the release. Maybe I was not in the mood for sex (which would never be the case). But it never felt like he was cheating on me if he was looking at porn.

I am sure that there are different dynamics in straight relationships, especially if married. Your points about your first wife made sense. Thanks again!

Brrr. Cold blast of frigid weather. So maybe masturbation is good for keeping warm, increasing the circulation. Saves money on heat.
Hugs and bisous.

@ MFP - You are correct. I'm sure some men find excitement in trying to hide.
