I remember one night, years ago, my boyfriend and I were on a double date and the other guy alluded to masturbating recently. Suddenly, his wife got this scowl on her face and excused herself to the restroom. Her husband followed her. They clearly fought about something, and things were tense the rest of the night. Later my boyfriend told me that his buddy had made a promise to his wife to stop masturbating. Whaaat? At the time, I thought that that woman was—to be quite frank—controlling and uptight. Who cares if their man helps himself from time to time? Every man has been doing it since long before he met his partner. Are we all just expected to quit some of our favorite pastimes, just because we’re in relationships? But today, I feel a little guilty for judging that woman. I have a partner who likes to help himself often and, it actually can affect our relationship. To men in relationships, here’s why you should masturbate less.
More interest in sex
The more men help themselves, the less they feel like even having sex. The drive just isn’t there if they already ejaculated all on their own. So that can be bad for a couple’s sex life, and leave the woman feeling undesirable.
