    My boyfriend and I have been together for just over a year now, and he has always known that I love to masturbate. He never seemed too interested in it to my dismay, but I never told him it was something I would stop. He feels that I do it because he is not good enough in bed, and I thought I’ve made it clear to him that that is not the case. He is more than good enough in bed, but he doesn’t seem to want me as much as I want him. This has caused me to be insecure, which he knows. Just last night he almost walked in on me masturbating, and got extremely upset. Again, I told him it’s not that he isn’t good enough, it’s just that I don’t want to beg for him to have sex with me. Not to mention, he was in the living room where he often falls asleep leaving me waiting for him in bed and wondering if he will show up at all. Of course, the one time I decided to masturbate while he is home, he decides to come to bed with me. I know this hurt his feelings, but I don’t understand what to do. I feel it’s silly to apologize for something he knows I love to do. I’m new here, and am obviously desperate for some kind of advice. Thanks for your time!

    Thanks for the reply, but I have tried to talk to him about it. It never amounts to anything, that’s why I’m here.

    It sounds like the problem isn’t so much your masturbating. The problem is that your sex life could use a spark or two (or three!). Just because you’ve “made it clear to him” that your masturbating is not because he’s not good enough in bed, doesn’t mean he believes it. In fact, he doesn’t think he’s good enough, and when he walks in on you masturbating and gets upset about it, I think you’ll agree that he’s not secure in the bedroom with you. Some guys would want to join in — he feels rejected. This rejection he feels is the problem — not your masturbating.

    What I suggest you do is to work on communicating and romancing each other. It’s easy to drop the ball after a year of dating, but even the best relationships require work and maintenance. Making sure you keep the romance alive, and the spark in the bedroom, will make him want to be there with you. Give him something to go for. Entice him!

    I hope that helps. Let me know how things go. And I’ll see you @AskAprilcom on Twitter, and on Facebook!
