30 something woman here, apparently I masturbate a lot compared to my friends.
I have to say “yeah once a week too” when they raise the subject ,when in fact it is multiple times a day. Husband would also do 2 times a day if he kept to his “normal” cadence. I know “whatever works for me” is right, but I’d like to compare to other people my age that aren’t my friends.
50 something guy here. Are you and your husband good? I’ve been married over 30 years, and obviously things ebb and flow. We recently tried having sex at least once a day for a solid year straight. We learned a lot about each other and found neither of us needed to masturbate.
TL;DR Why aren’t you two just fucking a lot?
He works away for large chunks of time, he also tried to match my orgasm count for a while but couldn’t (which is what I would expect) we do fuck most days when he’s home, or if not, he cums on me.
Ugh, long distance/lots of travel suuuucks. Then yeah, have at it!
And everyone is different, so “normal” or “a lot” varies. Consider yourself lucky you have a partner with equally good sex drive. There are many couples in very different situations.
I do count myself lucky, I have female friends on both ends of the spectrum, with partners who don’t want enough sex and partners that want it too often
