Is it normal to prefer masturbation over sex

Hi im 29 male here who prefers to masturbate instead of having sex with partners. I never turned down sex before, but if I had the option id rather masturbate because I feel like I get a better orgasm through masturbation than from sex. I never had a bad experience having sex so im confused why I feel this way. Any opinions? Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

  • I think this is more common for women but very rare for a man.

  • Somehow I wonder if that's healthy? I'd say it's normal to want to go solo once in a while, but to over all choose masturbation over sex seems a little odd to me

  • Well lemme first say that I'm a girl but I prefer masterbating as oposed to sex because I CAN'T orgasm "normally". Not to mention my hips and calves hurt like a mother-hubber when the sex session is complete,mbut if I masterbate, I'm done in 5-10 minutes. Though another note, I have to do it dry. When I finger myself, I get no where. :/

  • You could experiment a bit with this.
    Masturbate together with your girl.
    Masturbate eachother.
    Watch porn together and masturbate ...etc.

    What is it about masturbation that makes you prefer it over sex? Try to figure this out and then introduce this to the sexlife.

    As a woman i orgasm quicker while going solo since i know exactly what sort of touches i like, but when i do orgasm with another person it's WAY WAY WAY better.

  • I think this is a problem that is more common now because men are rewiring their brains and bodily responses because of increased exposure to porn. I think that this is harmful to your emotional health within a relationship and you should retrain yourself, as you would retrain yourself if your sleeping schedule got off course.

  • Masturbation is what I like, although I dont mind a good hand job. I used to have sex with my partner and then have her finish me off with a hand job, but it got tiring for her over time and she got upset several times thinking I didnt love her enough. This has ruined some relationships for me in the past and Its always because of this issue. I enjoy a relationship and having sex, but this has ruined all of them because I prefer masturbating instead when it comes to sex.

  • I'd guess you just REALLY know what you like?

  • I've never done it over sex. I did it over a woman once and she was a bit sexy but I don't know if it's the same thing.
