Masturbation (shhhh). Does everyone do it?

[FunAndFrolics]

I have to ask. I am interested. I always thought everyone did it (I do).
I have been with dh for 10 years and am still not convinced he does. It is the only topic that we have never discussed. I am sure (ok, I know) that he doesn't think I do!
Does he?
Do you?
(It was a PART of my previous relationship, but with dh it has never 'cropped up')

who cares if someone is reading it and "perving" on us...
we are having a bloody good laugh at this thread, and that's all that matters.
I think if a subject was "too personal" then we all wouldn't have responded...

I care.

then don't post on the thread?

Yes funnily enough i am doing so right now

starlover, the point of threads is to get differing views. do you post this response to anyone who questions you? if so, perhaps you need to be a bit more thick skinned. You also need to read posts properly before you steam in. I said quite clearly that I was asking the question are there any topics which are off bounds and was not trying to wind anyone up. Why are you trying to start a fight with me?

It's a fair enough question, I think. My main reason for keeping away is that my son is old enough to read mn and will be soon computer savvy enough to search on my name.

In fact, he's sitting behind me meedled up in a blanket watching tv. Keeps looking over my shoulder!

Perverts don't bother me, though. I mean, unless they do bad things... that sort of trolling on here is for the most part innocuous and has most likely led to some decent discussions.

The title of this thread is, I think, fairly explanatory, so those of you who feel that this sort of subject is beneath you/mn or disgraceful or too personal to be mentioned, why click on the thread in the first place? What the hell did you expect? Or do you go looking for things to disapprove of?

Sorry! I don't want to provide details because at some time in the not so distant future my son might read this. He's hacked (just by being young and watching) one of my good passwords already, so I have no doubt he'll look at this. And why did I post? I dunno. Really.

Ok, then. It's normal, as you can see. Everyone does it (well, most normal people do). It's not a bad thing. Any questions and you can ask me.
(That's to my son, not you lot. )

lol JJ

btw, am sorry i havent replied to your email yet. I will do it i promise

leglebegle- calm down! I'm not trying to start a fight with anyone!
all I am saying is that if it bothers you then why do you come and read it?
that's a perfectly normal question... you said you cared if someone was perving at this thread... so the sensible thing would be to not post here surely?

I did read your post properly... hence my comment about people not joining in threads if they were too personal... this one obviously isn't too personal, because so many people have replied.

i am not entirely sure what your problem is with me, but i think it's you who needs to read things properly before you steam in

I would just like to say that this is one of the funniest threads I have ever read!

Missed it at the time but god, you lot had me in stitches just now!! I've missed my train and everything becuase I wanted to get to the end.........ha ha

I do it regularly (most nights - only takes a quick 5 mins!), and so does DH. and we both still have sex aswell, with each other. I don't understand what people get so hung up on it for. It's a really good way to wind down at the end of the day. Or even if you have a free afternoon, it's enjoyable then too. It's a brilliant way to release tension.

thanks for sharing, feckit - how on earth did you stumble across a 4 year old masturbation thread, y'old perv!!!

if people want to perve on the INTERNET do you really think they'll be reading a thread on mumsnet?!!

hahaha.

oh didn't realise how old the thread was!
wasn't responding to you hecate btw!

ahfeckit - have you searched 'masturbation' this morning??

Hahaha DevilsAdvocaat (great name btw)

I agree - there's plenty more interesting on t'interwebz than a bunch of middle aged women talking about wanking!

oi - who you calling middle aged senendipitous?

I don't do it on my own - much more fun with DP.

However i expect he does on his own.

Erm..... me, drlove

@ serendipit

I bet your DH does do it, just without you realising. My DH does it, only "caught" him doing it once - I woke up in the middle of the night due to the bed vibrating. I thought for a minute there was another earthquake and then realsied.

He says he mostly does it in the shower though! So all those times you think your DH is having a long shower.......

wish I could, have issues I guess, never done it successfully in my life, when I try it all feels wrong, wish it felt natural as it does with so many women, could explain why I'm f*cked up

Serajen,

Have you ever tried to do it with a partner helping you - just a thought but it might be easier to begin doing it with someone touching you at the same time ie you put your hand on top of theirs. It may help you to get over some of the guilt thing and hopefully enjoy it enough to relax.
