Personal question - how often do you masturbate?

25 replies

rainbow1988 · 11/10/2025 08:58

I am happily married and sex life is good. However I find myself a lot of time just wanting to ‘sort myself out’ a lot of the time and I have come to realise this is daily.

I was speaking with a close friend who was saying it’s more like every other week for her. I’m feeling like some sort of sex pest now!

As literally the only person concerned is you, surely it’s completely irrelevant how often anyone else does? ‘Sex pest’ implies bothering someone else for sex. Being a masturbatory sex pest is a contradiction in terms.

Never, since I met my new partner. That’s because we dtd almost non stop. Except when I post on here tbh.

Katemax82 · 11/10/2025 09:19

Since having baby no 4, never

Hello @rainbow1988 we've moved your thread over to the Sex board.

GigiAnnna · 11/10/2025 09:30

A few times a week.

HeadsWinTailsLose · 11/10/2025 09:34

I’m 54 and I never have, tried a couple of times but wasn’t feeling it.

Snugglemonkey · 11/10/2025 09:46

Daily. People have differing drives. It is not a problem unless you cannot go about your life because you are too busy masturbating.

user0345437398 · 11/10/2025 10:16

So, you are your own sex pest. Maybe it's true that women bring it upon themselves. Sorry terrible joke.

Only as necessary....

SportGirl · 11/10/2025 19:23

Least once a day

ThatAquaSnail · 11/10/2025 22:49

Twice a day, three times if I have the time.

lauraUK1000 · 11/10/2025 23:03

Most days, usually after work in the week and in bed or in the shower at weekends.

They tend to get over picky at work when you do it during the working day

user1471798424 · 12/10/2025 06:54

Hi, I'm a female. I do it most nights if my husband isn't in bed. Makes me fall asleep really quick after 😂

AtYourPleasure · 12/10/2025 14:07

Very mood dependent for me. If I'm feeling low, sad, depressed.... it won't happen.

I've had spells where I've done it every day for weeks and also gone without for weeks.

MyAmusedPearlSquid · 12/10/2025 21:41

Tbh no set pattern maybe 3-4 times a month so not that often prefer my husband doing it

TwilightSky · 13/10/2025 01:59

I don't. When my FWB isn't away (works FIFO), then he is on tap. I don't have a really high libido like those in peri or some other women do and my arousal frequency is generally influenced by cycle and mood. Most weeks he is away I am zen and wait it out easily. Other weeks I might go out seeking a ONS or hit up a previous one. I know a colleague is super keen on me, so a possible 'break glass in case of emergency' scenario.... but that hasn't been necessary and I have learnt (the hard way) that its not a wise choice to eat where you shit.
