An Issue!!
Posted: 11-15-07 09:51am

Hello. I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought i'd put it here so that i can have a guys opinion. My boyfriend and i have been living together for over a year and a half. we used to have sex often, now we don't. it only happens maybe once every 2 weeks, not even. I found a used condom in the garbage, so obviously hes been masterbating. I used to think that it was gross, but I'm really trying to overcome that because its normal to do it. however, what bothers me is that he chose masterbation over sex. why didnt he come to me if he was in the mood? i've been wanting it lately, so he should have just came to me. i dont understand. guys... should i be worried?

I'd be worried. Why would a guy use a condom to masturbate? Are you certain he isn't cheating?

Perhaps you shouldn't only be thinking about him and what might be the issue with him? There is a possibility that he could be cheating, because it seems illogical to me that one would use a condom to masturbate, but don't be so concerned just yet because there are many variables and lack of evidence.

So assuming that cheating isn't the issue, do you think it might have been something you have done in the past that might have led him to stop having sex with you? Masturbating apart from sex is normal, masturbating over sex would probably mean something.

I'm not sure, but why must he come to you when he is in the mood? Why don't you go to him, from what you have stated, it seems you are very passive when it comes to the sex life. It sounds like even if you crave it, you wouldn't do much about it until he comes to you. This is just a conjecture from what you stated, but if this is the case, why don't you try being dominant now and then. Mike and I told this to somebody else earlier.

If you are passive, I'd ask you to try being dominant and pouncing on him instead of just waiting. See how he is after that change, and if he is still masturbating and not showing much interest in having sex with you, then you should be worried. A nice little chat might be required with or without trying to be the sexy dominatrix.

Have you had a good heart to heart with him about it? I know guys often hate the whole emotional discussion thing, but if this is important to you, he'll be receptive.

Also... masturbating with a condom? Sounds somewhat peculiar.. why waste a condom on masturbating? Infidelity might be in the cards, though don't jump to conclusions. Talk to him!

Hi, thanks for your reply.. you're right, I am passive, and I do have a hard time initiating. I'll try to initiate more, because that might be the issue. Thanks for your thoughts.

Hey, thanks for the reply. I haven't had a good chat with him about it yet, but I plan to tonight; however, it's hard to have an emotional chat with him beause he gets frustrated and i just cry, and things don't really go anywhere. But i do think that it's important for me to talk to him, so I will. Thanks.

I'm not trying to suggest that you're wrong, but really- if you found a used condom, why did you assume it was from masturbating? Have you seen him masturbate with condoms in the past?

Just curious.

Yeah, I wouldn't assume masturbation either and I know that's terrible. Do you two use condoms during sex? Maybe he just found one that had "disappeared" after sex and threw it away?

Secondly, I have no problem with a man I am dating masturbating. That shouldn't be your worry.
