(NSFW) Would you masturbate in bed while your partner sleeps? Why yes, no, or maybe?

Asked by prolificus (6583points) March 29th, 2011 from iPhone

Well, would you?

What’s the etiquette for such things?

Well….I’m not sure etiquette comes into it. ( intend the pun if you so desire )

Yes, I have, not a lot, but yes.

If your partner is asleep, and you decide it’s a must do situation…I wouldn’t over think it much.

You’re normal…coming from a perfect stranger that takes her pet goose in the hot tub with her. lol

Sure. Just don’t wake anyone up; that’s the etiquette.

I definitely have, though these days I’d just wake her up and have at (different partner, the last would have bitten my face off). I wouldn’t think too much about it, just keep it under control and don’t stain the sheets or make a wet spot. Don’t wake your partner up with your wanking either. If you were going to do that you might as well just have tried to initiate sex. Mention it the next day. Sexual secrets, even meaningless ones, have a way of disrupting the whole balance of a relationship.

LOL Right, get a memory foam mattress, zero turbulence.

Oh yes most definately, if they aren’t in the mood and I am why can’t I get my orgasm when I want to. I’ve done it before and will do it again I am sure.

Nothing wrong with flying solo now and then. haha oooh, sorry..I’ll stop now before I get into trouble.

After several years of marriage and having children this becomes the norm.
Its better than masturbating over other people on a tft screen imo.

Sure I have. My wife isn’t very sexual and I am, and she doesn’t mind if I do. Sometimes she’ll help a little. Well, I guess, technically she’s not asleep at that point, but I think it’s in the spirit of the question.

In the past I would do it surreptitiously, because we didn’t know how to talk about the disparity between our libidos. But it wasn’t nothin a few years of couples counseling couldn’t help.

SeaTurtle's avatar

wow @wundayatta your culture continues to amaze me. Paying for the right to masturbate and to communicate with your other half.
Not a dig mate, I genuinely admire the honesty but the extreme capitalism is dumbfounding.

No, it would piss him right off if I felt horny and didn’t wake him up to deal with it!!!

All of my marriage- premature ejaculation being the thing. By this point, I didn’t like him well enough to let him caress my vulva. Besides he was usually drunk.

@faye

‘caress my vulva’ wow…I think you have just released your inner poet! lol

Drunk and premature ejaculation….mmmmm, whatta guy! haha

faye's avatar

Yes, ex-marriage.

—@Coloma yes, it reminds me of a poem about mastrubation

How kind of you to let the loved one sleep.
I see nothing wrong with it and have in the past.

Maybe those matress commercials should use this as a featured selling point.

Facade's avatar

I do it. But first I asked him if it bothered him, and he said no. If he’d have said yes, I wouldn’t do it. It’s whatever the couple is comfortable with.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Why would I have to “handle it myself”? take whatever pun you want from that. All I would do is roll her over on her side into a spoon and then…......well lets just say I won’t be using my hands unless on a pair of boobs…...

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@wundayatta Why TY, hope you are as lucky if not luckier. ;-)

OK, I give up. What is/are either kanth or kanths?

It’s found in the line of the poem to which you linked partially quoted below. I assume it’s a noun but that’s about it.

“I remember boobs, kanths, etc etc.”

I’ve checked four dictionaries including the Oxford English Dictionary with both plural and singular and they all came up with zero. And Google only yields it without the “S” and its a surname (presumably Indian, judging from the first names with which it is paired) So “kanths” makes even less sense since its extremely unlikely he would be rembering TWO sex partners named Kanth

Any idea? Anybody feel free to chime in also.

I feel like I’ve been reading “Jabberwocky” :)
