Why I Tell Married Men to MASTURBATE MORE. 💦

Key wellness/self-care + relationship strategies (from the video)

• Make masturbation an intentional, mindful self-love practice (not a guilt-driven “quick release”).

  • Be specific, mindful, present—treat it like a practice that changes how you relate, not like “therapy” by default.

• Reduce “neediness” so you can approach your partner from a calmer state.

  • Masturbation helps you stop approaching sex from hunger/pressure, which can be felt by a partner.
  • Goal shift: freedom instead of starvation.

• Untangle what you actually want (release vs. intimacy vs. connection).

  • Don’t collapse everything into “sex.”
  • Use masturbation to meet release needs, while recognizing it can’t replace:
    • closeness
    • eye contact
    • feeling chosen
    • vulnerable conversation/presence

• Take pressure off the lower-desire partner (desire needs safety, not performance).

  • Constantly trying to “increase” desire can create pressure.
  • Use solo practice as a sustainable system, not a consolation prize.
  • Evidence referenced: relationship well-being may increase with sexual frequency up to about once a week, and more isn’t necessarily happier.

• Stop “engineering” sex and remove hidden agendas/scorekeeping.

  • Tracking cycles/moods/timing can create a palpable “hidden agenda,” leading to more withdrawal.
  • The video also notes the alternative pattern: resentment/“keeping score” when sex is withheld.
  • Strategy: self-possession and restraint are more attractive than desperation.

• Use masturbation as a “dress rehearsal” for healthier partnered sex.

  • Slow down and pay attention to what feels good.
  • Avoid rushing or half-distracted “finish-line” behavior—because you train your nervous system this way.
  • Reframe: your partner’s pace may not be the real issue; your tempo and attentional style might be.

• Correct the stories silence creates (and reduce shame leakage).

  • If solo sexuality stays secret—or never gets discussed—partners may invent explanations (e.g., “I’m not enough,” “you prefer it,” “I’m less attractive,” etc.).
  • The video advises:
    • don’t force a confession
    • choose a calm moment
    • lead with curiosity (example phrasing: “I’ve been thinking about how we don’t really talk about this and I’d like to change that.”)
  • The goal is to provide truth vs. leaving blanks.

• Let intentional solo practice feed desire for partnership (a two-way feedback loop).

  • Solo practice doesn’t have to drain desire; it can increase it when done with presence.
  • If pursuing stopped because rejection felt safer, the video claims internal shame work can restore attraction.
