To not want to give up masturbation?

Why did he need to know. Keep it to yourself and it wouldn’t be a problem. I mean I think most people do it but there’s no need to share it.

Not the point is it.

OP, this won't be the only thing he tries to control you on. Run, run fast, and have a celebratory masturbation when you do.

Why are you telling him about it?

Oh gosh, here we go again: another obvious attempt to get people (women in particular) to talk about their sex lives. Urgh. Is there not enough online material to peruse without getting a thrill by trying to "trick" women into giving up their "rampant rabbit" visitation preferences???

1. There is nothing wrong with masturbation.
2. One partner trying to control another partner's "solo flying" is inappropriate.
3. The caveat is if the self-pleasure is impacting or detracting from the couple's intimate time together; or is impacting the person's regular life (i.e. people with a sex addiction); or is based on an inappropriate contact with another person/images (i.e. online contacts that go beyond looking at photos of Pedro Pascal, or Tom Hardy, or Magic Mike, or whoever floats your boat).

Why are you broadcasting it? Tell him to get over himself.

Incredible that men are still demanding this sort of control in 2025.

But why do you need to make this public?? I think that’s the problem regardless of your two attitudes towards it.

I would advise discretely carrying on as normal…

Who does this knobhead think he is? Seriously? He’s trying to dictate your bodily autonomy. I wouldn’t care how good the sex is, I’d dump the cheeky twat for having the audacity to tell me it might be a deal breaker 😂. So be it. This will get worse OP. First it’ll be give up masturbation, then he’ll be telling you he doesn’t like your clothes, or making digs about what you eat etc. Get rid of the insecure fuckwit

OMG. How fragile is that man's ego??? Are you teenagers?
Masturbation is perfectly normal in a relationship. IF you were not up for sex with him and preferred solo pleasure - then this would be an issue. Otherwise - he needs to grow up.

If - somehow you really like him otherwise - just tell him you stopped. A little white lie is OK in a harmless (and ridiculous) situation like that.

Your masturbation is none of his business. You don't owe him radical honesty about all that you do on your own, that does not affect him.

You can fight it out - try to explain/change his mind; or just get on with it. And - watch for other signs of his insecurities and attempts to control you. Maybe there are none, and this is due to some hang ups about sex. Or maybe more will come out.

Unless you’re doing it at the dinner table, I’m not sure why it’s his business!

It's none of his business. He has no right. Bin him off.

Never let someone control your body. His request is unacceptable. Nearly everyone masturbates and so does he.
You can try to calmly explain to him that this is something you enjoy and it has nothing to do with him.

I'd leave the insecure little baby, fucks sake. What an unbelievably juvenile attitude. Bet he still wanks off to thirst traps on Instagram every night, any man I've ever met who has a problem with women masturbating always thinks men doing it is "different" and not a problem.

If you want to be with a controlling man who's ego is so fragile he wants to ban his partner from masturbating then you know where to find one.

I mean, does he never have a wank? 🫠🫠🫠🫠
