I am a bit confused about this question. Men masturbate. It is accepted and expected. Women are supposed to understand the need for men to masturbate. Women masturbate as well. Like most men, women think of this as a private moment. Perhaps she is embarrassed that you know she is masturbating. Be supportive and let it go. It is not an indication that she is cheating on you, anymore than it is an indication of a man cheating on his wife if he masturbates.

Seriously; what's the problem here? It's not her. It may be you. She may not be orgasming during sex. God knows we fake it. We really do. I swore I never would and I do!

How do you two have sex? Do you make sure she orgasms?

I masturbated in bed when my bf was asleep too. I never cheated on him, not once. But since I didn't orgasm during sex, afterwards I needed release. So, I usually went to the bathroom first and I would masturbate on the floor before going back to the room; or I would wait till he went and masturbate before he came back.

Thank you for the responce, I do think that we have a good sexual relationship, I always pleasure her 1st I have been doing this since we gottogether, I havestarted messaging her putting oils on her and taking my time sometimes take it than just ot relax her and then giving her oral sex and only if she wants interncourse. She is a very fantatic lady and I fell inlove with her everytime, My heart beats faster when she is near me and I miss her when she is not.

Well good. Sometimes, if she's having sexy feelings about you but knows you've already pleasured her, she'll just do it herself so you can rest.

I really don't think that you should let this bother you. Its harmless and something that she's obviously enjoying.

i would not let this bother you. Its natural for a women to masturbate just like men. Some women like to masturbate just as much as men. When she moves away from you it might be because its a private moment and she just wants to do it herself. You could try having a masturbation session with her.

I have to agree with everyone above. Alot of woman even have sexeual fantasies while they sleep. It's a normal human thing. I too think you making to bigger thing out of something you need not worry about.

Ok, level headed and sensible... I'm telling myself that she's doing it like sleepwalking... she's asleep and she doesn't know she's doing it. She denies it thoroughly.

Angry Ranting Man:
And how can you guys say, "this shouldn't be a problem?" I'm having HUGE issues with this. Mostly because our sex-life is pretty much dead... and she's touching herself at night, WITH ME LYING RIGHT NEXT TO HER?! I'm not kidding. She will turn me down, "Not tonight, I'm really tired" and 15minutes later, the bed is shaking gently, there are quiet wet sounds and she's breathing hard.

*****!

Don't get me wrong, back in the good old days, when we were having sex more than once a month and she was clearly sexually interested in me, I didn't care if she masturbated. I even encouraged it. But now, we seem to be doing it once every six weeks or so. She says she just has no sex drive right now... but she's masturbating almost nightly and using her vibrator when I'm not home at least once a week.

She denied that too... until I told her about the evidence.

She uses condoms on the Vibe and I've been seeing the used ones when I empty the garbage. I have no actual evidence re night-touching. Just my word against hers. I would set up a video camera but that would create some REAL trust issues.

All I want is for my wife to SHARE her sexuality with me and not to lie about it. I've even told her that if she doesn't want to have sex, she can touch herself at night, but tell me and I'll do the same. No dice.

My sexual self-confidence has been destroyed and I'm having trust issues with her now. Every time I'm not around I think she's playing with herself (even though my head knows its not true). She lied about the vibe. She's lying about night-touching (or doing it in her sleep). She lies about her lack of sex-drive. I don't trust her at all any more when it comes to sex.

I don't think she's cheating on me yet but one day something will happen that can be interpreted as evidence for cheating and she'll deny it. Adn she probably won't have, but how will I be able to believe her? Thats where I'm getting to.

I could just go on and on with the issues this, and other things, have created in my head but this post is long enough already.

I'm seriously about to suggest sleeping in different rooms. I'm just about done with this.

So maybe she can't get off with you? I went through a phase like that after having my second child. I told him that I wasn't in the mood because no matter what he did, I couldn't orgasm. So I did what came natural, I got myself off. The only difference was, I did it in front of him, no shame. Some women are ashamed that they cannot orgasm while having sex. We don't want our partner to feel like they let us down. Also some women are ashamed of masturbation. Even though it is perfectly normal. You need to ask yourself this question: Have I ever masturbated while she was away? Seriously, its no big deal. Have you ever thought that maybe she isn't in the mood for you, that maybe she wants to please herself? And that maybe she is one of the women who likes privacy while doing it? So what if she is using a vibe while you are not home. And if she is lying about it maybe she is ashamed. I think you both could use some counselling to find out the root of both problems, her masturbation and why she is doing it. and your apparent anger over it.

Before I get into a long-winded response, I've done some reading on the internet. Apparently there is something called "SleepSex" or SBS. It covers a whole range of sexual activity from masturbation to actually having sex with your partner. It's like sleepwalking in that the person doing it is physically active but they are asleep or have no awareness of what they are doing and they have no memory of it afterwards.

I'm giving my wife the benefit of the doubt. I guess she isn't aware she's masturbating because she's sleep-rubbing. Bad joke.


@MotherOfHighSpiritedOnes
Thanks for the feedback. My wife is slightly sexually dominant and we've been together for eight years. She has no issue telling me what she wants or how she wants me to do what I'm doing differently, (Sometimes its annoying but I can live with it) she refuses to fake it and usually climaxes twice when we do it. Once before sex and then again afterwards, usually with me operating the vibrator. Sometimes (rarely) she can't and she jsut says so and we stop.

The part that makes me angry (but I'll get over now that I know about SBS) is that she was turning me down on a regular basis and we were only doing it once every-other-month-ish. She said she just has no drive. This continual rejection, of course, has emotional repercussions for me... started feeling like she doesn't want me and I'm unattractive and so on (this has been going on for a couple of years). I've talked to her about it a couple of times to no avail.

And then I find out she's masturbating with the vibe weekly... and then she starts masturbating almost nightly! Worst, she knows the rejection is getting me down because we've talked about it... and she's masturbating right next to me after telling me she is too tired for sex. It's like throwing it in my face. I don't want to tonight, sorry dear. 15min later, "Ooooh, mmmm..." I mean I could let that go if it were once in a while, but with 5 weeks of rejection behind you, it really hurts.

The link in my head becomes, "Bull, you don't have any drive! You really DON'T want me sexually". If it isn't SBS, the "No drive" really IS BS. she's getting off at least 4x per week (that I know about).

I'm also very open with sexuality... it REALLY bothers me that she is using the vibrator weekly. It bothered me that she was playing with herself almost daily. Actually the fact that she's doing it doesn't bother me half as much as the fact that she's hiding them from me. If you don't want to have sex with me, just be honest about it and we'll work something out. Or just tell me so I can deal with it and move on!

It really sucks having her say, "No really, I AM attracted to you, I just have no drive." Then that night she turns me down and 15min later is getting herself off.


On the whole, men do it, my situation is as follows:
I prefer sex with my wife over masturbation. When we are doing it frequently I don't masturbate at all. Yeah, I do it when she's away. Yeah, I do it when "its been a while". I don't masturbate when she's home and I certainly don't do it with her sleeping next to me in bed. Further, if I did and she called me on it, I would admit it. I wouldn't try and tell her, "no honey, I wasn't doing that!"

For some reason I can't get any flow in this response. I've re-written it twice now. Oh well. I hope this doesn't come off as an attack on you, MotherOfHighSpiritedOnes. I'm just trying to explain where the emotions are coming from.

Not at all hun. It just seems that maybe she has some emotional probs right now or stresses. And believe me, I understand your feelings. And you have every right to feel that way. Since you told me she is usually open about what she does...it changes my perspective. She may well be masturbating in her sleep. But until you find out whether she is or not, you will never know. Maybe you should sit down and tell her you think she might be doing it in her sleep. Maybe you guys talking about it will help. I wish I could offer advice. Really. But I have never been in that type of situation. I was always upfront and honest. Maybe your wife is one of the shy ones...I could speculate all day. When it comes down to it, it hurts you and she may not even be aware she is doing it. I say its high time you ask to invite her little vibe friend into the bed with you two. Spice things up a bit.

I noticed the same thing about my wife. She will do it when we are watching tv or in bed. It is very distracting with her legs moving and her chest heaving. As with the rest of the posters she denies it if I ever bring it up. If I persist, she gets very angry and says that she hardly ever masturbates. I don't bring it up in an accusatory or angry way because I would like her to share the experience with me once in a while. So now I don't bring it up at all and I find myself getting angry and leaving the room when she does it. Why can't she leave the room when she does it?

Our sex life is only OK. She doesn't let me go down on her at all. She never has and she only wants to do it missionary style. I got her a dildo a while back to try and spice things up, but she says she never uses it.

I know she is probably pretty embarrassed when I bring up masturbation but then why does she do it practically in front of me? That is the difference, you can say that men masturbate so why can't women, but I never do it when she is home. Let alone try to be sneaky while she is sleeping or watching tv. It is nowhere near the same thing as when I do it.
