Think husband has issues with me masterbating

I work from home occasionally and when I do mid afternoon I like to quickly just get myself off. I use a vibrator. I’ve got an old rabbit friend that’s rechargeable.

I’ve always thought it was just a bit old so needed charging when I used it. Bit frustrating. However three times now I’ve been in the drawer it’s kept in (after work after I’ve charged it that day for example) and the lights been on - meaning the battery drains down.

Ive questioned my hubby about this before because I have my suspicions it’s him. Which has ended up in arguing and denial - it’s me I must be leaving it switched on.

Our sex life is good, no issues there at all from me.
Just find this situation rather frustrating and a bit of a mind f%€k.

Anyone been in a similar position? Any advice?

Well I thought WFH was a modern phenomenon so I expect people taking their employers for mugs in the way a percentage of people do when they WFH is a relatively new thing.

I will admit though that office shenanigans isn't a new thing. Although when I worked in an office - quite a few years ago - lunch time drinking, after work hours drinking , and affairs were the go to methods of bad behaviour. Masturbation and actual sex in the office on work tIme didn't happen. It wouldn't have been feasible.

It definitely did happen in the workplace. I had sex with my husband in the workplace on more than one occasion

Do you think she puts it on her timesheet?

😂

TessSaysYes · 08/07/2026 13:57

Why be frustrated by all this...just buy a new one surely.

Maybe it's just turning itself on? Malfunctioning because it's old? Treat yourself to a shiny new one

This thread is classic MN madness 😂😂.

I'm a stellar employee (says my manager, director, colleagues and residents), but my roster affords me a morning break, lunch time and afternoon break. All of which are MY OWN TIME, in which I can have a little quicky if horny.

Outside of MN where folks have regular sexual desires, the body can want sex any time of day; in the same way it wants food or a nurofen. If it is possible to scratch the itch in the privacy of your home, in your own time; why not?

The OP suspecting her husband of curtailung her pleasure- also 😂.

Are the schools off today?

I don’t think any school students would have any interest in mumsnet let alone such a specific weird post as this.
people have been saying this since the beginning of mumsnet and I’ll warrant that in the twenty or so years of this site, there probably been less than twenty false posts by kids

If you can’t spell it you shouldn’t be doing it 😆

Get a life 😂

I thought that exact same sentence when I read that post 😂

gamerchick · 08/07/2026 14:21

OP get yourself a new toy, like a womaniser. Keep it hidden and let him fuck on with the old one all he wants.

This is my favourite reply. I like a bit of random knowledge thrown in! Thank you

Me too! Every day is a school day, as they say.

omghereistrouble · 08/07/2026 14:26

probably worn out often they do not last that long anyway so time to buy a new one
have you ever told your partner about you afternoon delight? why not invite him to join you!

Catarinabella · 08/07/2026 14:31

Just wondering if when you work in the office, do you grab the rabbit out your locker and give yourself a good seeing to under your desk of an afternoon 🤔

Lexy2345 · 08/07/2026 14:34

Why would your first thought be that your husband is meddling with your vibrator?

AnonymityAnonymity · 08/07/2026 09:53

I agree.

It doesn't say much for the integrity and commitment of people who work from home does it?

Nobody anywhere assumes anyone is 100% productive, 75-80%, maybe 85% (depending on the job) is assumed normal.

Good lord, is this real? Who masturbates while working? This feels like one of those posts people make to slag off working from home.

Quite - after a few hours of budget meetings, its the last thing I would feel like

DrNo007 · 08/07/2026 14:46

After a while the battery runs down and it ceases to charge properly; during this time the charge lasts less and less time. I think that is the most likely explanation. Just buy a new one.

I work in a hospital. Our domestic proudly announced she had 'fapped one off in the staff toilets'. I'll never forget her face as she spoke. And no, she wasn't joking.

You win the thread

Which meeting would she raise that in a one-to-one or?

NemoNerd · 08/07/2026 16:30

So THAT’s what people are doing when their Teams status says Be Right Back.

She’s entitled to a low calorie lunch break

Spidey66 · 08/07/2026 17:10

Stevie and Matt did the deed in the lift in Casualty the other week, between the ED and the canteen I assume. I never get it at work….should I be worried?

username2185 · 08/07/2026 17:16

There’s nothing quite like getting paid to masturbate on work time!

GhostsJulianforPrimeMinister · 08/07/2026 18:16

It’s probably playing up and you need to replace it.
place it somewhere your husband doesn’t know about - it will either work fine in which case he may be the culprit or it continues to play up as its faulty and you can give him an apology - but atleast you’d then know.
