OK. I have read polls about masturbation and sex and it seems to me that whether or not a person is living with their sex partner, he/she continues to masturbate. Why do you think that is so? Do you get something out of masturbation that you do not or can not get from a partner? Is it the inability to wait for sexual fulfilment (like if you have a hard on at 2:00 PM and your partner won't be home for several hours). Or, is it just a different sexual feeling/experience than partner sex? Lastly, do you hide your masturbation from your partner because it would hurt their feelings and/or your relationship?
