Good? You aren't doing it correctly yet, then!

Sex is rather like a workout.  It feels better going solo, but it's usually better exercise with a buddy.

@TheNotoriousGOD@xanga - I'm not sure you're confident enough.  Try to work on that.

What 90% of men already knew.

1. "What will happen once I am no longer single"- you'll think mostly only about one person while masturbating. Don't feel bad if your mind slips to Heath Ledger now and again, only natural. Your man can't be around all the time to fulfill all your sexual urges. Oh, last thing, your guy may or may not watch porn. If he does, think of it as lazy imagination. He's not pining over these girls and you shouldn't be intimidated by it. Real women > Porn. Always

2. "Will the man try to sabotage my 'joyful egg'?"- Not if he's sane. Masturbation should never be intimidating to a man (or woman, which ever way you swing). It only becomes offensive when you'd rather use batteries. If that happens, you weren't communicating well enough about your needs or he wasn't listening to them.

3. "Will he be willing to help me while I am doing it?"- Like I said, as long as he's not a child and isn't intimidated by it, yes I can almost promise he'll want to help you out. Any ladies want to attest to the act of having a guy inside you with a vibe on your clit? I had a girl literally pass out from the orgasm... Awesome.

4. "Guys, how should I feel about my potential partner's masturbation? Etc." - You should view it the same way you view yours. A natural thing that acts as a stress reliever, sleep aide, and past time. Believe me, if a guy would rather jerk off than be with you, then you probably shouldn't be together or you need to have an adult discussion about what his needs are. You are better than his hand any day, but he will still continue to jerk off because our balls don't empty themselves. Well they can... but it happens at night and it's messy and horrible to wake up to.

@T3hZ10n@xanga - Truth. If all you're looking for is to get off, you can always get yourself off faster than someone else. That's been my experience as well as most of the women I've been with. I've just found that I'm not very good at cuddling myself after. Terrible pillow talk too.

And no kidding. But I've never seen a healthy relationship where a dude would rather wank than be with his woman/man. The obvious lack of communication is a big indicator of a larger issue. Been through enough relationships to know.

my bf tells me when he has masturbated and I've told him about it. it is like a part of our day, so we casually throw that tidbit of sexy info in there. I know it turns him on when I tell him and vice versa I've showed my guy when I was using my toys. he asked me if that thing hurt he thinks my vag is beautiful and described it like rose petals lol so um, the indulgence in toys is a wonderful shared experience. I've watched him while he was masturbating. we are each other's biggest voyeur fans I showed him my other toys and he wasn't annoyed but found it a turn on.

a previous guy actually went out and bought a sex toy to demonstrate it for me. it was insanely hot. no other guy has admitted to or showed me their toys. probably because they prefer to use their hands or they are embarrassed to admit it. well, this one guy wasn't at all embarrassed but eager to put on a show for me. it probably has to do with the fact that he's a literal performer as his career since he's a musician. I won't name names

whatever works for the couple.

Depends on the guy. My guy prefers I use him in any sort of way to help out so he's always involved even if I do go "solo". As one might derive from this however, I don't really need to. Vice versa, I find it a turn on and enjoy watching so on occasion, I'll convince him to go it alone.

I used to do things like this once or twice a week before being physically together with my lover. Afterward, I've only done it a couple of times (after being together more than a year) and only because I was in physical pain - ever imagined the feeling of blue balls being concentrated in your clitoris? My boyfriend understands my passions and desires in the bedroom, and has even suggested on several occasions to bring a toy into play. We have yet to do so, but his openness and loving heart about having more than one toy makes me feel amazing. He and I might have sex once a week, but I'm completely fulfilled with him, so I feel no need to do things on my own. My only complaint is having to lay a towel under me after we're done. :p

@mcmeister89@mancouch - I second everything you said! Especially #3 

My boyfriend bought me my first egg, convinced me to buy my first vibrator and has bought me several toys in the couple years we've been dating. 

He obviously doesn't care if I masturbate, but I care if he does- only because at points in our relationship we've gone MONTHS without having sex because he used to masturbate 1- 3 times a day.

 I would ask him why he wouldn't wait, even knowing that he would see me later, and he didn't really give a response other than that he didn't like vaginas. Not saying he was gay, he didn't like how vaginas felt.

He just seemed to have an issue with porn and masturbation. He would make dates with me, say he was coming over at 6:00, and he'd either lie and say he was busy or he wouldn't text me at all and would just show up an hour and a half to two hours later..  I found out later that he was always late because he was looking through pages of anal sex and masturbating =/
After masturbating that many times in a day, we normally couldn't have sex or he would say we couldn't and I'd find out later that he masturbated 1 -2 more times after he got home because he used to mention it all the time.

..We have come to an agreement that as long as I offer to do something every day or every other day, which could include oral sex, regular sex(which he supposedly doesn;t mind now without condoms), giving him a hand job, etc, that he will wait. I don't know how much I believe that he always does wait, but I do believe that it's at least not every day, and not 3 times a day because we're at least able to have sex most of the time now.

Honestly, I think lack of sex is something men may expect, but I am not sure women expect it as much from the men they are with, so it is one of the most terrible feelings when your boyfriend wants his hand more than you =/

I don't think you should be worried about your potential future partner's opinion about your sex toys. I think you should be thinking more about the fact that this is a potential future partner that you are hypothetically thinking up scenarios about.

I would never expect a man to give up masturbation for me. He'd have his own needs, and if I can't be there to help him have his release, he'd need to have some other way.

I wouldn't give up masturbating for a man for the same reasons; I wouldn't expect him to be around me ALL the time, and if I needed my release, I'd have to do it on my own sometimes.
