I was too shy at first but I'm starting to get more used to it, especially because I know how much my boyfriend loves it.

I feel very comfortable masturbating in front of him and he certainly enjoys it.

I'm too shy

my wife is kinda the same way, she started talking about doing it more, but shes really shy about doing it in front of me (which i think is really hot)

I'm glad I'm not the only one, however I would like to get past this but I don't know how to let this one go...just do it I guess?

I have been married for some time and I still do not feel comfortable doing it in front of my husband. I think that if you are uncomfortable doing it, then don't. Sex and foreplay are suppose to make you feel good, not make you uncomfortable!

If he's masturbating while watching me masturbate, that's HOTTTT!!! But I wouldn't want to masturbate as a show...

go ahead and try it out... if you don't like it, then don't do it...

Try like ddd said the only time she will masturbate infront of me is when I'm masturbating for her first

I feel a bit weird doing it with him watching. He's a little shy about me watching him too though.

That depends. I am not in any stable relationships so I do feel weird and shy when a guy asks me but I never had this problem with a guy who I dated for almost a year. For me it's a trust thing.

I don't get it...why is everyone masturbating together if their partner is right there with them? Doesn't partnered sex beat masturbation hands down?

My wife is very shy as well. She has never masturbated, that she will admit to and she is 30. I tell her I think it would be so sexy to watch her, and think of what i might learn from it to please her better.

So I finally convinced her. I had to buy her $600 earrings, but she agreed and it finally happened this weekend.

I Masturbated during it as well, cause she felt she was putting on a show and was not into that.

My only disappointment is that she would not rub herself with her fingers. she would only use the wand.

I put on her favorite porn and we laid head to foot, in opposite directions, so we could watch each other, in the bed, and I requested she where her black teddy with black stockings, she used the hitachi wand for a quick clit orgasm, then switched to the Gspot attachment and it was great.

I learned so much about what she likes and does not like. It was a great experience for both.

Afterward, i think she enjoyed it and would be open to it in the future.
Her fear was unfounded.

Any other experiences or suggestions that we can try to make this a better experience for both of us is greatly appreciated.

I believe this is a problem a lot of women have. I won't go into the details about how women are repressed and reprimanded for their sexuality while men are heroes for it. Another reason I think has an affect on it is that men have external organs - it's not as embarrassing or invasive for them to show theirs as for a woman to show hers.
