To pleasure myself while husband is in the house?

Sometimes, I just want a quick orgasm, no fuss, no messing about, no build up or effort required for anyone but me, can't be arsed with / don't want actual sex but just want to get off and have the orgasm there and then. Just do me. AIBU to get some small pleasure from myself now and again, without having to go to DH every time?
For context, think another room after DH has gone to sleep - and we otherwise have a good sex life.

Sex with a partner is about so much more than getting off- it’s about connection, and intimacy. It’s pretty telling that your partner sees no difference between that and a wank.

Unfortunately, women have been conditioned to accept sex without orgasms (as is clear from a few posts on this thread) so some men can’t wrap their head around sex taking place without them there.

I don’t do it full stop unless I’m teasing my partner but I geniunely think he’d find it weird if I was to do this. I’m not saying it’s not ok cause it is but I don’t think my partner would like it and he’d feel rejected knowing his personality. That being said I can always be arsed for sex and so can he so we don’t have that problem there has been a time coupe
years back where he said he’d had to sort himself out and I was ok with it cause it’s not like I was there at the time. I’d watch my man alll day long do it to himself and not get bothered

on that note I don’t think I’ve ever orgasmed fully in my life and wish I could no matter whether I play he plays an ex played or what not I have never orgasmed but I get extremely wet.

Along with buy a vibrator and use it solo I’ll throw in if you’re stopping because you’re getting the ‘going to wet myself’ feeling you should keep going

I love this I can’t wait to give it a go roll on pay day 😂

You’re not wrong at all.

On the other hand, there are numerous threads on here from women complaining about the same thing (and feeling upset, rejected,unattractive etc) and they get lots of sympathy and the general consensus is that he's a dick for doing it.

The concept of ownership goes both ways .

I thought this was a pretty normal thing to do to be honest, me and my husband also do it, it's not a big deal and your husband needs to grow up!

RabbitsRock · 18/02/2025 08:51

AffableApple that’s brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

RabbitsRock · 18/02/2025 08:53

I really want a vibrator that mimics oral sex - absolutely love having that done but DH has never been keen.

Sexual intimacy with a partner and solo masturbation are totally different activities though. Why does he think one should always replace the other. That's like saying you should always have the well balanced main meal on offer when you know what you're really craving is a crisp sandwich.

🤣and now I want a crisp sandwich!!

CharlotteLightandDark · 18/02/2025 09:21

I’m pretty much always dtf if I’m home/available, if my partner went off and had a wank over initiating sex with me I think I might be a bit miffed but wouldn’t make it known as I’m aware it’s a bit unreasonable and I don’t think you’d be wrong to do this OP so crack on :)

LazyArsedMagician · 18/02/2025 11:15

I'm totally with you, but I know my husband would be with yours, although I think he would acknowledge it's a bit silly to feel like that!

BobbyBiscuits · 18/02/2025 11:54

Of course it's fine. I guess if he saw he might want to join in, but other than that I don't see the issue!

For some reason this just popped up in my ads...

I think a lot of the time that women seek advice about how they feel about their husbands wanking, it's in conjunction with concerns about his use of porn/addiction to porn.

RaveToTheGrave1 · 18/02/2025 21:46

Totally fine, I do it if I need the release but cba with the whole thing if I'm stressed, my husband does the same. We have a very active sex life and usually will do it every night but sometimes tbh a wank is what you want!
