Guest Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Cw: masturbation, sex, sexual assault mention Soo, I am a very sexual person, my partner too but mostly for himself. I wasn't aware of it before, but since we live together I discovered that I hate being in the same room as him while he masturbates. I get sick and feel disgusting and like I am physically (not emotionally) aroused against my will. And since we live together, I started to dislike masturbating on my own more and more. It feels lonely and not that satisfying. At first I thought it might come from a supressed memory of sexual assault or something like that. But now I wonder if it might be because I am 'socially sexual' or something like that? Is there a word for this? Maybe thats why it feels like my boundaries are broken when I am not involved in the sexual activity? Link to post Share on other sites
Starlit Sky Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 I don't know if there's a word for it, but honestly, I feel like it's just not your thing. Have you already talked to him about your feelings on this? There are plenty of ways the two of you can go forward with this and turn this into something of a positive Link to post Share on other sites
Sally Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Do you have to be in the same room with him? It seems it would be easy to not be. Link to post Share on other sites

But none of us sees something positive in this situation 😅 Link to post Share on other sites

Starlit Sky Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 So out of curiosity, how would you feel if he started masturbating as a beginning, and you joined in? Do you think that would bother you? Link to post Share on other sites

It feels so distant and alone. Link to post Share on other sites
Snao Cone Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't think there's anything particularly unique or worthy of categorizing about this, really. I'm sure a lot of people of all sexualities have this kind of issue, as I've seen variations of it in advice forums and columns. I wish you luck in sorting this out. It seems like you rationally want to be able to let him do his thing, but your physiological reactions are still beyond your control. Hopefully you can find the right arrangement to keep it out of your earshot so it doesn't bother you anymore. Link to post Share on other sites
