My Husband Seems to Prefer Masterbation to Intercourse
Posted: 07-11-07 14:05pm

Crying
or Very sad

I just feel unattractive and unloved. my husband of 14 years has not been able to have an orgasim during intercourse in quit awhile so he ends up masterbating to do so. Usually i am involved and arouse him for orgasim, but now he is no longer wanting to have any sex with me and i wake up in the night to find him masterbateing.
Am i just being insecure or should i worry my husband has no need for me anymore?

Well I don't think that was very helpful.

Intercourse doesn't work for all men I guess....

Try mixing things up. Get a book on erotic massage and try massaging/stroking him to orgasm. Have you tried performing oral sex on him? Maybe try anal?

There are many ways you can bring him to orgasm other than intercourse - and the two of you can have fun doing it.

If offering him a little variety doesn't work then speak (gently) about it with him. Part of your sexual needs include being the one to meet his sexual needs, right? Maybe he doesn't get that. Maybe he will be willing to see a sexual therapist with you, if all else fails.

Maybe he's got some underlying issue he's not telling you about? Maybe he's got an arousal issue or some kind of insecurity issue or he feels like it's too much trouble for you or something. Talk to him!

Hopefully, your husband "needs" you for more than just sex. I hope that's not what you meant! Sad

I agree with anne.You need to talk to him about it too and tell him how your feeling.

I would talk to him. This is not normal behavior, and he is not "just being a man". I think there is an issue that needs to be dealt with; and you're not going to be able to start until you ask him.

my husband does almost the same thing. We have sex maybe 1 time a week, but he masturbates almost every other night. He waits until I am asleep. I have caught him a few times and asked him about it. But he never really answers me. It makes me feel really insecure and unattractive too.

Don't feel bad It is normal. Men often get a "tighter" feeling with their masturbation grip and they can move faster back-and-forth than while in a woman. This tighter, faster movement may be the only way he can ejaculate. This effect increases with the age of a man. They often require a firmer, faster, longer effort to attain ejaculation. He will probably always appreciate you trying to help him. Try playing with him and masturbating him while asking him if he would like you to do it faster or grip firmer or hold it differently, etc. Don't worry that he enjoys or needs masturbation. Men are very preoccupied with attaining ejaculation and can often only act like normal people in their everyday lives after having a regular sexual release. It's not that he doesn't like you.
