Does you husband w*nk?

134 replies

I have been married for 11 years. My husband recently announced that he has frequently masturbated (every 2-3 weeks) throughout our entire marriage. We have a good sex life, currently making love 8-11 times a week. I found it insulting that he told me he had a wnk this morning, even though we made love last night.
We are fairly adventurous in the bedroom and make plenty of time for using toys etc. He has discussed this with his friends who all tell him he is perfectly normal & they do exactly the same within their marriages. One even admits to w
nking every day, despite having sex 4-5 times a week. Comments please.... :)

8-11 times per week?

Maybe he occasionally needs a 12th time and that's why he has been wanking.

What happens if you hit 11 shags by thursday? Do you have to wait until monday again?

Zoflorabore · 28/09/2020 14:17

I’m sorry but I can’t get past the 8-11 times a week? Is there a method to your calculations like once a day but twice on Sunday’s or twice a week Monday-Friday and once over the weekend?

I would have thought that men wink more times a week than have sex?

imnotimportant · 28/09/2020 14:17

I can wink with one eye , I tried again the other day to wink with the other eye , it just looked pretty stupid the faces I pulled trying to wink , however my DP can wink with both eyes
That is my comment

vampirethriller · 28/09/2020 14:18

..we have 2 kids
Are they twins?

EatDessertFirst · 28/09/2020 14:22

@QuacksInTheDark

You have sex everyday sometimes more than once? Eeee hen you’ll get a sore chuff.
Love this phrase!
emmetgirl · 28/09/2020 14:24

Why would you care? I wank and it's none of my DP's business

Rebelwithallthecause · 28/09/2020 14:27

They say the more you do it the more you want it

Start doing it 1-2 times a week and see if that curbs his wanks

So your husband shared details with you about his friends sex lives. Classy.

fantasmasgoria1 · 28/09/2020 14:35

Margo34 I showed him this and he just said "yes some men lie but I don't, we have sex very often and I genuinely don't feel the need!". To be fair unless he does it in the shower which is his only chance. When he gets home we are with each other until he goes to work the next day and we are together on his days off. I'm not naive, my exes were addicted to porn etc my Fiance shows absolutely none of these signs.

Anordinarymum · 28/09/2020 14:48

It's not called 'hand relief' for nothing OP :)

nosswith · 28/09/2020 14:52

You are presuming no-one on here is in a relationship with a woman?

SoulofanAggron · 28/09/2020 14:58

Wanking is normal- every couple of weeks isn't much. I suppose some people just have a really high libido so they want it on top of a lot of sex, or they enjoy it.

It's not a reflection on you.

It's only a problem if it's some much that it negatively effects your sex life.

So your husband shared details with you about his friends sex lives. Classy.

@Changethetoner I think it's more that OP was saying that wanking was abnormal/wrong, so he asked his friends if it was normal.

FinnGermey · 28/09/2020 15:16

99% of men will admit to masturbating and the remaining 1% are liars

Aerial2020 · 28/09/2020 15:19

I don't get this thread.
Apart from it being childish, the OP seems to think it's a bad thing that her partner masturbates? Like he's cheating or something.
Don't you masturbate together in your sex life?

But so what if he does?

He could easily do it at work. I know at least one man who wanks in the toilet at work.

AriesTheRam · 28/09/2020 15:22

Dunno if he does but I do

VettiyaIruken · 28/09/2020 15:23

I have no idea and no intention of asking.
He's entitled to privacy.

pinkyboots1 · 28/09/2020 15:24

I'm sure he does but so do I ... I think it's natural and also you know exactly what you're after at that given time and exactly what thoughts and feeling you need

PrincessMaryaBolkonskaya · 28/09/2020 15:27

Oh. We’re not talking about winking I see.

edwinbear · 28/09/2020 15:34

Is your DH 18 OP? 8-11 shags a weeks PLUS wanks? That’s quite an outstanding performance from him.

chuppachupchup · 28/09/2020 15:35

I should hope so....he's only human!

FourPlasticRings · 28/09/2020 15:45

I really don't like this kind of statement. Unless you're talking about the MRS GREN functions of all living things (movement, respiration etc. and even these don't all apply to all men- for instance not all men reproduce) you can't say, 'all men' do anything. It's sexist and reductive.
colourmeclueless · 28/09/2020 16:14

@FourPlasticRings Yep, agreeing with this. Not all women cook / clean / wear pretty dresses (or any other stereotype) and not all men wank or watch porn.

JudyGemstone · 28/09/2020 16:17

@EatDessertFirst

8-11 times a week? Not many people have time for that AND wanking! Does he suffer with friction burns??

2/10

Me and my partner have sex this much, easily! And he wanks.

Not sure why this is so hard to believe??

OP, it's no reflection on you if he wanks or not. Only an issue if he prioritises it over sex with you, which he obviously doesn't. No need to be so precious.
