If you dont have sex with your husband do you assume that he is taking care of things himself ??

[happyone2]

Hi.......... i was wondering, if a couple dont have much of a sex life or none at all.............does this mean that neither of the couple pleasure them selves .....Do both assume that the other is or isnt on their own ( or presumably with somebody else )

I ask, because a friend of mine makes love to his girlfriend once every couple of months and assumes she knows that he does it alone ........... i didnt know if that assumption could be taken as read.

[ummmm]

I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean.

spot on Cazz.......

[ummmm]

Is happyone2 suggesting that masturbation only happens when one partner denies the other of sex?

[Booldawg]

I think the problem arises when it becomes a replacement rather than a supplement.

I was reading an article on this in GQ last week whereby the slant was very much anti-porn and the writer was suggesting that men are staying up late with internet porn whilst their wives are upstairs gagging for it. I think this is the exception rather than the rule.

of course the answer is to either buy an xbox or get into minecraft.

how on earth can this question be answered? The only people who know what a husband and wife assume, are the two people themselves.

[ummmm]

I can honestly say that if we haven't had sex, for whatever reason, I can safely assume he's seeing to his own needs. Not something he wouldn't tell me though...

If not getting it at home then men and women will go elsewhere if thats what they want to do.

while we´re on the subject, whats the difference between an egg and a tommy?
you can beat an egg, but you can beat a good old tommy.

[piggynose]

sorry, typo, can´t beat a good old tommy

"Taking care of himself"

Can we be adult here and call it masturbation which is common in both sexes, male and to a lesser extent female.

[Safiya]

why do you think masturbation more common for males than females sqad?

[Sqad]

safiya....not a scientific study;-)......just the thoughts of a student of human behavior over a number of years.

[ummmm]

I think Ann Summers might disagree Sqad....

I think women just don't talk about it as much :-)

[Sqad]

ummmm....maybe! maybe! ;-)

[Safiya]

totally agree with ummmm

[Sqad]

ummm/safiya............IF.....as i am lead to believe........that our CB females have "loving " and satisfactory relationships........why do they need to masturbate?

[Safiya]

did you do a poll to get to that conclusion sqad?
