AIBU to want my husband to stop doing this???

This is something I have put up with for years...my husband regularly masterbates while I'm asleep in bed with him. This is not something that would really bother me too much, but he leaves stains on the bedding and subsequently the mattress. We've recently had a new bed and mattress and I don't want it to get another hideous yellow stain! Yes I have got a mattress protector but it can only do so much. A handful of times his masterbating has woken me in the night.

Most of the time I ignore it, but a few times I have got cross and snapped. He says he does it because sometimes he can't sleep and it's his way of helping him nod off. Like I say, I wouldn't be bothered if not for the stains. I have told him I don't want our new mattress ruining and he said sorry but he still does it. I think it's become a 'thing' with him, he can't sleep therefore his answer is a good tug. I admit a few times I myself have pleasures myself in order to relax enough to drift off.

We do have a decent sex life and we're both adventurous. He is a lovely man in every way and I love him very much. We have been married nearly 10 years. I am pregnant at the moment and really off sex because I've been feeling so sick and ill. He never pesters for sex, he always lets me come to him if I'm feeling randy as he says he is always up for it so just to give him a wink. I feel guilty for us not having had sex for a while and I'm sure he's masterbating every night. What should I do? Should I put up with it? Should I say something? I don't want to be nasty.

horsey, I think sloths are quite big...

There is a Stain Devils stain remover for Spunk.

I bought a three pack or removers and one listed "semen" alongside the more mundane stains.

Toria2014 · 31/03/2016 12:16

Urgh. Dirty bastard.

slebmum1 · 31/03/2016 12:19

So does he just sleep I the wet bit? Gross.

Zaphodsotherhead · 31/03/2016 12:23

Sex with me is pretty much just wanking into a small, sleepy mammal though.

ZanyMobster · 31/03/2016 13:30

I have never slept in a bed with someone wanking next to me to my knowledge but then I have had lots of non-serious boyfriends but only 2 long term relationships so maybe those two were not into that whilst someone was next to them asleep. It's a bit grim and I would consider myself relatively open minded.

VelvetSpoon · 31/03/2016 13:43

He's entitled to do it where he likes. He's not disturbing the OP nor pestering her for sex.

That said, he should clean up after himself, wipe it up with tissues, or else do it in the shower where any mess just gets washed away.

I think it's highly unlikely the stains are semen though, they are far more likely to be sweat - especially if it's the same yellowish stains you get on pillows (we get those, and I can say 100% there is no pillow wanking done in this house). I'd suggest a waterproof mattress protector beneath a standard one.

GreyAndGoldInTheMeadow · 31/03/2016 14:29

Indeed, he's entitled to do it where and when he likes. That's why if a chap sat next to you on the bus and proceeded to crack one off you wouldn't think to report it to the policeHmm

If the op or anyone else is happy for that to happen then fine, but he's not entitled to do it wherever he feels just because he wants to. Some of the posts here are very worrying!

ovaryhill · 31/03/2016 14:45

A fleshlight is an excellent suggestion
Takes me back to drunken party where I went through to the kitchen in the morning to find one churning away on the hosts worktop with a banana wedged into it!

ZanyMobster · 31/03/2016 15:05

I am surprised people are saying that someone is entitled to wank wherever they want. Surely it's a matter of respect.

thebestfurchinchilla · 31/03/2016 15:12

Yuk YANBU. WHAT'S ALL THAT ABOUT???

There are tears on my iPad after reading about the crusty sloth :) :)

Sorry but this is one of the strangest and most disgusting things I've heard on here. It's bloody disrespectful too. I don't know how he manages to get himself off whilst you pretend to be asleep? He must have skin of a rhino (pardon the pun).

It's plain weird. Trust me, I'm no prude but this is rank.

MetalMidget · 31/03/2016 15:46

designated crusty sloth

Well, that's my band name sorted...

GreyAndGoldInTheMeadow · 31/03/2016 15:56

So because they know each other and live together means you have to put up with being exposed to sexual acts? Have you seriously thought about what you're saying?

Piemernator · 31/03/2016 16:00

Well at least he doesn't wipe it on the curtains.

Chlobee87 · 31/03/2016 16:01

Surely this is a wind up. Do people actually get themselves off whilst their partner/wife/hubs is literally lying right next to them in bed? That's the creepiest shit I've heard in a while. Has nobody got any self control?? Are there not enough rooms in your home that he can find somewhere private to "relax" before bedtime? Sorry but that's just too weird.

ShatnersBassoon · 31/03/2016 16:09

WTF? Clean up after? No, no, no. Contain the mess in the first place!

Unless he's trying to manage something the size of a fireman's hose there's no need to be free-jizzing Confused

Sallystyle · 31/03/2016 16:12

I would be very pissed off if my husband wanked off next to me while I was sleeping. Unless I'm taking part please don't play with your dick next to me, your bedroom or not.

The not cleaning it up is rank.

tell him to eat it Grin

Pufflehuff · 31/03/2016 16:40

God, does anyone else pop on these kind of threads to feel better about their own husbands?

"Darling, I just wanted to say that as you regularly shower, clean your teeth, don't send dick pics to your colleagues and wank all over the sheets, you are quite possibly in the top 10% of menfolk."

MrsHathaway · 31/03/2016 16:40

::wheeze::

You're in your own bed, horny. Your bedfellow and customary/habitual sexual partner isn't in the mood.

According to some posters here you should respectfully repair to another room before enjoying yourself. Preferably a wipe-clean area which you then wipe clean.

Is this the 1950s?! Masturbation is not automatically dirty and sordid. It should be private, but it doesn't need to be secret.

Posh wank is done using a condom.

This thread is hilarious, so glad I'm gay Smile

peggyundercrackers · 31/03/2016 17:08

It's better than sitting wanking on the settee when the neighbours are in I guess...
