    I have been obsessed with my boyfriends masturbation habits for months with no one to talk with. It hurts me deeply that he needs to do this.it makes me feel totally inadequate, besides. I know he loves me, but I can't stop obsessing over it. I tried to talk to him, but he said it was none of my business really. He does it in my house that he moved into with me. He says he only loves me, and that it is only takes 3 minutes! *We have fantastic lovemaking. (everything works good), but when he masturbates I feel cheated and cheated opon. He says it's a natural instinct for a man and it shouldn't bother me. I would LOVE to make love more often and think if he didn't masturbate to images or porn, not sure, that he's cheating me out of more than once a week. He is very happy with my body, and my looks. he says he " just gets horny", so he does it..., well, why doesn't he make love to me then? Why can't he wait till I get home. I'm never gone for more than a couple hours! How would he feel if I moved into his house and I looked at and got off to sexy hot dripping men with giant penises and sexy muscular bodies while he was out. But why does he get horny when I'm gone and not when I'm there? I told him I'm not threatened by his masturbation, but why can't he do it while thinking of me? If I do occasionally, I think of him and hold no other visual of any man, only him. I'm stuck on this, and got so obsessed I place the lube in a way that I know he's used it, and he's so messy about( probably because he's so focused on his pleasure he leaves it running down the side)Of course I get angry and cannot be close to him the entire day, but since he told me it was none of my business, I have dreaded talking to him again. I realized that I probably caused him to have more intense desires now that he doesn't consider it cheating, but in his mind! he's actually probably more stimulated now that it's more naughty. I found out about your brain on porn and am at least compassionate that he could be addicted and how the brain works with dopamine and Coolidge effect and am more relieved he actually has a physiological addiction and not that he doesn't truly love me, but I don't feel trust and wonder if he ever goes to strip clubs during the day since he has his own business and has time while he's away.
    So one day I got angry enough that I decided to find the best looking biggest dicks I could find ( yes,passive aggression) to masturbate to get even, but it's doesn't make me feel better. then I decided to leave my iPad open to these guys hoping he will open it and find them to help him see how it feels, but he's still engaging in it regularly.*
    I need some one or many to please be compassionate and not critical to help me to realize something. Please don't tell me to grow some skin, or that it's not about me, etc. etc., and how pathetic I am and insecure. Everything I found when I googled said all those things to other women who felt the same.
    If its so frickin normal why doesnt he pull out his iPad while we're watching tv and go at it with me right there? Why in my deepest heart do I feel sooo bad about it?*
    I think that and how he scans around looking at women when we're out and how he used to look for movies with sexually explicit scenes make me feel I can't trust him. He satisfies me in all other ways. Hes attentive, romantic, loving, affectionate, very complmentary, and so on.
    It is ruining my ability to give my whole heart and stay connected 100%. I am a fiercly loyal Scorpio women and need to feel the same loyalty!*
    Is there anyone who can offer some advice, ENCOURAGEMENT especially to help me . I love him very much, but I feel his habit is tearing our relationship apart. He is the first man to love me like I've always dreamed of, but that one thing im obsessed about.
    Thank you in advance!

    You need to be firm and assertive and tell him that because you are in a relationship and living under the same roof, his masturbation is definitely your business and that he can't be so dismissive of your concerns. Passive aggression will not lead to a solution. Sit him down and talk straight to him, tell him your concerns and how you feel. Ask him to have a look at Your Brain on Porn and other online material on PMO Don't ask straight out for a commitment from him to quit PMO first, let him look at the science first and come to his own conclusion, then you can discuss it further. A resolution will only come about by talking things through with him. You obviously love him a lot but any relationship involves give and take and you should ask him to give a little.

    Yes its best you read through the struggle that we all deal with throughout this forum. You can educate yourself on what is really going on with your man. All of us men are told that it's okay to masturbate and that we should our whole lives. It sounds like he still has no idea how negative the habit is, like wise you must understand that we truly believe its personal and none of your business. It has nothing to do with his love for you or attraction. Porn is similar to over feeding fish.. No matter if the fish is full it will keep eating if u keep feeding until it dies. Men are wired to get as much sex as possible and porn is like food to a fish. If we have access we will do it. It takes time to realize that you shouldn't keep eating just because there is food in front of you.

    You don't want the attention that he gives his porn. It will lead you to a mental state that most stripers and pornstars are in with no self worth. He will begin to see you as a sexual object and will likely cheat on you because you become just another porn to him. He keeps that part of his life separate because he loves you and refuses to treat you the way the girls in porn are treated. Having porn for a man is like a kid in a candy store with no parents around and there is no way you can make him stop. He must find out himself that he is better than that. Show him this forum!

    He's wrong when he says his porn use is none of your business. It's part of his sexuality which makes it relevant to your relationship. I don't believe partners should try to control each other but it's important to acknowledge each other's needs and work together. It's important to respect each other's point of view - peoples' attitudes to porn vary a lot.

    Are you upset by his porn use because it feels like he's using porn instead of having sex with you? How often do you want to have sex? Have you made this clear? From the point of view of a guy, using porn to get sexual relief is usually easier than trying to seduce your partner particularly at times when your relationship is difficult. In my relationship it's been a safety valve for frustration.

    Have you tried watching any porn together? That can be good foreplay and it might make you feel less excluded and get you talking about what works for you both sexually.

    I've found this book very good for negotiating sexual differences http://www.amazon.com/When-Your-Drives-Dont-Match-ebook/dp/B003PJ6ULQ. Her web site has some free articles http://sandrapertot.com/
