[QUOTE="D";136033798]I see. Maybe its just my personal view on masturbation and marriage. I feel like if your other is around then unless you two get off on the concept or have some fetish of some sort for it, there shouldn't be a need for you to pleasure yourself when you have a perfectly good mouth/anus/vagina/other pair of hands that aren't yours (whatever the person is in to) around.



But I stand by what I said. It shouldn't make a person naive or know any less about sexuality. Its just a person's perception. Flawed maybe, but yes.[/QUOTE]



[QUOTE="D";136036753]Here we go with the "assumptions" again.



But yes this is part of my reasoning and I'm glad you brought that up. Unless there's a reason for it then it shouldn't be any need to go and masturbate if you have someone. In this case, being denied sex is a reason. That's my opinion on it, the way I personally perceive it. Do I believe it to be true for other people though? No. Their opinion isn't mine.



Someone else said that people do it cause they feel they might please themselves better than their sig other or just cause they know what they like. Why not just sit the other person down and just tell them or teach them? THAT right there I feel like is kinda wrong cause its like well what is the other person there for intimacy-wise if you can just pleasure yourself? Is it a fact that most couples partake in any of the aforementioned? Nah, but it's just how I personally feel about the matter. But it shouldn't make me less informed than the next person.



The sad part is no one really asked me for clarification on what I said, they just automatically assumed that's what I BELIEVE, as opposed to my OPINION on the subject.[/QUOTE]



I'm sorry, what?



So in your opinion partners who masturbate by themselves, or themselves in the presence of their partner, have a fetish; and that you or your partner should basically be up for it whenever the SO feels like it?



So basically if you come home from work horny your partner, irrespective of their mood, should just service your your needs, as opposed to you nipping to the loo to sort yourself out? Is this what your opinion boils down to?
