Reasons You Should Masturbate While In A Relationship

We all like to get our rocks off. The more often we can do it, the better we usually feel. Ever since we started going through puberty, most of explored our bodies, and in doing so, realized that if we touched ourselves enough, we'd orgasm. It was a pretty wild discovery, let alone an amazing one. But as we get older and settle into relationships, it's a common belief that masturbation ought to get pushed aside in favor of sex. Is this true, though? Not exactly. If you want to masturbate with your partner, nothing should stop you. In fact, it could be great for you. Keep reading to find out why you should masturbate while in a relationship.

Changing habits. Just because you’re in a relationship shouldn’t mean you have to end your habits (and healthy habits, to boot). Masturbation, though it may not seem necessary for couples, is actually a great ingredient for a great relationship.

Letting it all hang out. There’s no reason to ever feel shy in front of your partner. So if you want to revisit your roots (that is to say, masturbate), then go for it. You’re showing off a very intimate part of yourself to the person you love getting intimate with.

It’s sexy. Down to the core of it, masturbation is sexy. Watching someone — especially the person you love — pleasuring themselves is hot as hell. They’ve been doing this for years in their own privacy, and now you’ve got a front row seat.

Love yourself. Masturbation is one of the best ways to appreciate your body — if not the best way. You’re literally having sex with yourself. You can use this opportunity to remind yourself why you deserve whomever you want.

It’s healthy. Masturbating comes with a load of healthy benefits. If you want to get your heart rate going, but you’re too horny to run, then masturbate. If you need your brain to pump out some oxytocin to help with that mood of yours, then masturbate.

Self-discovery. When you’re in a relationship and sex becomes part of your routine, you don’t want to lose sight of what specifically gets you going. Sex is a shared experience, but masturbation can help you remember exactly what gets you going at your core. It’s like training in a video game before sparring with the big baddie.

Leave a lot to be desired. When your sugar-sugar is out, maybe on a business trip or visiting with family, you’re obviously not going to have sex. But you know that the second they get home, you’ll have to buy a new mattress. So in the meantime, sending them videos of you masturbating or doing it together via Skype, will remind them what they’re missing.

Killing time. You and your partner aren’t going to be with each other around the clock (and if you are, find a damn hobby!), so you can fill in that time with yourself. Your partner isn’t your only vessel for horniess. So getting off on your own time is just a simple pastime you can indulge in at your convenience.

Learning. You can learn a hell of a lot about your partner from masturbating in front of them. Even if you’re gay, you don’t necessarily have the exact same pressure points as your boyfriend or girlfriend. Masturbation will teach you a thing or two.
