Do other Christians masturbate WITHOUT pornography

I see a lot of posts here of wives rightfully complaining about their husband’s use of pornography. They don’t always specifically mention masturbation, but I would assume that’s included with habitual porn users.

I masturbate regularly WITHOUT porn. My wife and I talked about it a while back and she told me she has absolutely no problem with it and told me to masturbate as often as I like. Yesterday, while she was napping on the couch, I slipped into the bedroom to masturbate and closed the door from the living room. When I was close to finishing, she entered the master bath from a different door and hollered out to me, “Hey! What are you doing in there?” I answered, “Masturbating,” to which she replied with her joyful voice “Oh. Ok.” That was the end of the masturbation discussion. I met her in the bathroom shortly after and we conversed about some random topic as I was cleaning up.

MY QUESTIONS

Are there other couples with this same type of agreement? Do other men (and women) masturbate without porn? What do other people think about their spouses masturbating WITHOUT porn?

Gentlemen, may you rejoice in the wife of your youth always

Gentlemen,

“May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your youth. A loving doe, a graceful deer may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.” (Proverbs 5:18-19 NIV)

We had been Christians all of thirty days when we got married. An older couple in our church shared the above passage with us shortly after we were married. I was twenty years old with an eighteen-year-old bride and thought it was pretty cool that the Bible was so positive about sex between married couples.

I am truly blessed to have been intoxicated with my wife’s love for over forty years.

Thankfully, I don’t have genital herpes. However, I do have HSV-1, oral herpes, but haven’t had an outbreak in quite a few years.

Flashback to our early days of marriage. I used to give my wife some very enthusiastic oral sex. It was one of our favorite things in bed. Then I learned that HSV-1 can be transmitted orally to the genitals even WITHOUT AN ACTIVE OUTBREAK. We were mortified. We immediately ceased oral sex.

My advice for everyone who has ever had a cold sore, consider stopping oral sex. I know it’s fun and thrilling, but do you really want genital herpes?
