My partner and I have a great sex life apart from one thing:
He won't masturbate in front of me...
And he doesn't want to see me masturbate in front of him either.
I haven't ever been with my partner and seen him masturbate. The only time I see him even touch his penis is when he goes to put a condom on.
I don't want this to seem ungrateful. In fact the most salient reason I want to see him masturbate is so I can better understand what he likes. I want to know how he likes to be touched, and I can't think of any better way than watching him masturbate. Plus, of course I'd love to see him masturbate because it would be arousing.
He tells me it's his private time but I can't understand this; I don't see what there is to be ashamed of. We've had sex in just about every position imaginable, and been as filthy as is humanly possible. But not this one thing.
I don't feel either of us are responsible for the others sexual pleasure: there are going to be times, (as I am sure there already have been), when one of us is horny and the other isn't.
There have been times when I've woken up in the night, feeling massively horny and he is fast asleep. I've masturbated in the same bed as him, but I worry he will hear me and feel worried that he feel emasculated. I don't want him to see it this way, but at the same time I don't like feeling I have to deprive myself of relief! It can be very frustrating.
I wish if only he were more at ease with watching one another masturbate - or not even watching but being at ease with the others masturbation habits - things would be much easier.
I'd be grateful for any advice on this one! Thanks!
