Just like most people, I suppose, I've grown up to think of masturbation as naughty and for losers that can't get 'proper' sex. Since I'm the HD in the R and have to go solo nearly all the time, I've realised it is bad for the self-esteem and confidence to regard yourself as a loser in this way.
Therefore, although I feel embarrassed about the idea, I'm wondering whether I stop hiding it but openly do it in full knowledge of my GF. If, when she rejected my advances, I just went solo but didn't complain about it, would she be happy that I was satisfied and didn't pester her any longer? Would she think I was perverted? Would the 'seesaw effect' help improve her own desire? Surely it is better not to hide anything in a R and everything should be open and shared. She claims she's never masturbated because she doesn't feel anything when she touches herself so her attitude to it is bound to be skewed.
I'm particularly interested to hear from LD wives what their reaction would be to their HDH 'sharing' his solo flight. Would this be an acceptable compromise to having sex with you? Would you give him an occasional hand? Or would you tell him to go off and do it privately? Would it make the whole situation worse?
