I am a 31-year-old married woman. During my college years, I developed a habit of masturbation. At that time, I also had a boyfriend and we were physically close, but we never had intercourse. Our relationship ended about five years ago, and I got married through an arranged marriage two years ago. My husband is loving and caring, and overall our relationship is good.
\nHowever, I still sometimes feel the desire to masturbate, and I notice that I reach sexual satisfaction more quickly through masturbation than during intercourse with my husband. When my husband gives me oral sex, I am able to reach orgasm. But during intercourse alone, I do not feel the same level of satisfaction. My husband usually becomes satisfied after intercourse, while I sometimes feel that my own needs have not been completely fulfilled.
\nMy husband often asks whether I enjoyed the experience, and I usually say yes because I do not want to hurt his feelings. But honestly, the level of satisfaction I experience through masturbation is much quicker and stronger for me.
\nA friend told me that because I had been masturbating before marriage, my body may have become accustomed to that type of stimulation, and this could be the reason I am not getting enough satisfaction from intercourse now.
\nI would like to understand whether my past or present masturbation habit can actually affect my sexual life with my husband. Should I stop masturbating completely? Is masturbation responsible for my difficulty in reaching orgasm during intercourse? Most importantly, what can I do to experience more pleasure and satisfaction during intimacy with my husband?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Masturbation does not necessarily reduce sexual satisfaction with a husband. Understanding your preferred stimulation and communicating openly can improve intimacy and mutual satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_stc_notifier_status":"","_stc_notifier_sent_time":"","_stc_notifier_request":false,"_stc_notifier_prevent":false,"_stc_subscriber_keywords":"","_stc_subscriber_search_areas":"","footnotes":""},"question_category":[14],"question_tag":[665,832,834,670,356,200,836,404,833,835],"class_list":["post-1163","question","type-question","status-publish","question_category-women_sexual_problems","question_tag-female-orgasm","question_tag-female-sexual-health","question_tag-husband-wife-relationship","question_tag-intimacy","question_tag-married-life","question_tag-masturbation","question_tag-relationship-communication","question_tag-sexual-satisfaction","question_tag-sexual-stimulation","question_tag-sexual-wellness","answer-count-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
