Actually, I caught him my first time, and he lied about everything. he confessed, said sorry, but, i hear him all the time, espcially in the mornings. He moans, but he denies it. When he could be taking his horny self out on me. I love sex, and i crave it, so i dont see why he is wanting to jerk off, when he has me.
Hes absolutly Lazy! Usually after work, he comes home, and we eat dinner, then usually watch a movie. usually we rent them, but he always falls asleep, we use to sit together on the couch, but he lays down in the other one and just passes out.

If were laying in bed, and im messing with him to get him aroused, he just lays there. I litterally have to ask for sex, cuz if i dont have sex with him, he goes to option b, bathroom to jerk off. I guess hes just too lazy. Im just at a point too give up. its like hes no longer into me. The sad thing is, Ive lost 60pounds sense i had my son. (i have two kids) ive had all this weight on me sense me and him started dating. actually i was 2 months pregnant, so not quite as much weight put on me. but ive lost it all. and sadly, no affection...
If we do have sex, its graved in my mind that, i, have to be on top. If hes horny, and we mess around (which is rare) ill try getting him on top, but of course hes strong and gets me on top, then im stuck there, he dont want to do new sex moves, nothing. Just that one move the entire time. I ask him to switch it up, and he says, next time, but he says next time every time i ask. so then again, im stuck on top. Hes just too lazy to do anything, I dont have a clue waht too do...
Alot of people would say join him. but its kinda hard, when he locks himself in the bathroom, and denies it, so he pretty much kicks me to the side, as though im nothing. What should i Do???

As a male reading this....it sounds really messed up! Guys do not want to have sex with their grandma, or mom. Why is this? Because they don't act sexual towards us. If a woman doesn't enjoy herself during sex, we won't want to have sex. The worst feeling in the world is when you feel like you're masterbating with your woman's vagina. That's a deal breaker for sex, unless your a rapist I guess! Women should loosen up a little and watch porn. They would most likely find something they're into too. What do men like about it??? It's not what the women look like, it's how they act. Sounds, facial expressions, body language. It's all it takes. There, now you know the secret of how men's brains work sexually. If you don't get it, I'll explain it. DO YOUR PART TOO!

Hey forgetful me,
I posted my story anonymously about my husband of 23 yrs admitting to me that he's been masturbating throughout our whole marriage and how betrayed I feel about it. I read your post and noticed there are several posts written by anonymous users on this site so I'm not sure if I'm the "anonymous" user you are speaking to. My name is Laura if you'd like to confirm one way or another if u are writing to me. I would love to have someone who understands my predicament to talk with. It's comforting to know is not alone. Pls respond and let me know if you'd like to talk!

Hello Laura,
I wanted to share my perspective about masturbation in marriage. I would feel horrible if my husband masturbated, then did not want to have sex with me!
I don't know your particular story, but I do want to say that my husband does masturbate and watches porn regularly. Yet we do have sex with each other as well.
I don't have any problem with it at all. However, I wanted to ask, in your situation, does your husband refuse to have sex with you? Or is it simply the masturbation that upsets you?

Hi Faith, my husband has denied me sex on a few occassions because of his masturbation although he denies it, but not too often that I am aware of. What I am most bothered by is the fact that he lied to me for 30 years about it. We made a pact that we would only masturbate with each other when we were young and it was the dumbest thing we could have ever done. But if he would have told me much sooner that he had been doing it alone and then lying about it, whenever I asked about it, it may have been a little easier for me to get over it. Why did he wait 30 years and then one day, out of the blue, unsolicited just blurt out that he's been masturbating all along. Did he tell me to hurt me or to make me feel insecure that I've been believing a lie for 30 years? I feel like such a fool. Does it ever make you feel insecure when your husband watches porn and jerks off? There is no way I could ever look as good as those porn stars and if I fee he prefers that to me there is just no hope! I will say again that I don't think he's denied me sex because he masturbates and it's only been a few times when I suspected he did, but I never allowed myself to fully believe it because I felt my husband wouldn't lie to me like that, but now I know he did.

Hi Faith, my husband claims to never have turned me down for sex because of his masturbation but I know of at least a few occassions that he did. There haven't been a lot of times that He's turned me down because of it, but the thing I am bothered by the most is the lies. Why lie? If you can't live up to our deal of no solo masturbation then tell me and I'll learn to deal with it. But he had me believing for the past 30 years that He wasn't masturbating alone, we would incorporate it into our sexcapades so to speak, for both him and me and we both got turned on watching each other. I am bothered by the long standing lie and the deceit. Why did he lie for so long? If he would have told me sooner it would have made it a little easier for me to get over, but waiting 30 years to finally tell me the truth, unsolicited I might add, just hurts me so much. I didn't even ask him about it and then just one day, out of the blue, sitting on the couch he blurts out that he's been masturbating our whole relationship and lying about it. Why? Why did he wait so long and then one day just tell me about it for no reason, it's not like I was suspecting anything, I'm wondering if he did it to hurt me, to make me feel insecure in our relationship like I can't trust him because he lies to me. I can't understand why he felt the need to "confess" if it wasn't to hurt me. Maybe he finally felt guilty after 30 years of lies and deceit that he had to get it off his chest. When I asked him why he told me he says he doesn't know why. I'm upset and confused and so sick of feeling like a fool over this. Enough is enough!

Hi Laura,
I can understand that it hurts to feel like someone was lying to you for so long! However, from my perspective I think its unrealistic for anyone to stop masturbating simply because they're married. Plus a lie like that it not like him saying he cheated on you or something to that degree. If your sex life his not suffered from it then I don't think his crime is that great.
I don't mean to sound unsympathetic to your situation, I just want to present another perspective.
I never feel insecure that my husband watches porn or masturbates. So I have a hard time relating to women who do feel insecure about it.
I actually encourage it sometimes because I think he is more relaxed afterwards. I encourage anything that helps improve his quality of life. I don't see it as anything personal.
But at the same time, my husband and I didn't promise each other that we wouldn't masturbate. So, I can understand you're feeling betrayed.
I just encourage you to see that since you guys were very young, perhaps you didn't realize that it was a very unrealistic promise.

You don't know after all these years how badly I wish we never made that deal in the first place. It's the betrayal and 30 years of lying that are pathetic. He definitely should have told me about his masturbation a loooong time ago and not wait 30 years to "reveal" the truth to me. That's what's hurting so badly right now...

Makes sense, I totally understand! It truly feels awful when someone lies to you, especially for a long time.
Maybe he never thought he could explain why he was still masturbating. Maybe he always knew he should tell you, but knew he couldn't soften the news.
Maybe he feels like a real jerk, but at the same time felt like you should know, so he finally told you.
Maybe if you gave him a way to make it up to you, he would!
