Hi name changed due to
When me and DH first got together, he and I were very open about the fact that we masturbate/ look at (albeit rather inoffensive romantic) porn from time to time.
It was quite liberating being honest about this but as we got further into our relationship I lost interest in porn and generally masturbation for a long while.
I had a vibrator and was open about this too. He was fine about it.
Fast forward five years and I still have said vibrator in bedside drawer which he knows but I feel inclined to keep it from him when I've watched porn/ masturbated, is it my right to have SOME privacy on this matter?
I enjoy sex with him and have literally never had such a satisfying sex life with anyone but am pregnant at the moment and find the act of sex uncomfortable/ awkward with this big old bump on my front so am taking to watching the odd massage video and masturbating quite regularly.
I sort of feel (a little bit) guilty that he doesn't know about this aspect of my life at the moment and it feels dishonest deleting my search history when we used to have a 'no shame' policy about such things.
I suppose part of me feels a bit embarrassed because fantasy/ reality are two things I would like to keep completely separate, the videos I watch are always just a massage that ends with the woman coming through clitoral stimulation- simple as that. as soon as I've orgasmed I become completely disinterested in the video and just get on with my day, I feel that if I tell my DH he will worry that it's to do with some kind of inadequacy in him but it's nothing to do with him.
I don't know if he masturbates/watches porn but if he did I wouldn't mind one bit, it's just weird that we don't talk about it anymore but I suppose what Im trying to say/ask is: is there room in a rl for a little privacy on this matter or should we know Everything about each other?
Thanks for reading I know it's a long post.
