A guy I've been dating says he never masturbates. Is that even possible?

Before me, my significant other did not masturbate because he was brought up to think that it was bad. He's 41.

Even after me, he's only masturbated roughly three times on his own (not including mutual masturbation which we do often).

That said, most other men I know masturbate, but they tend to be younger than my SO. Perhaps it's an age thing.

Meh. I'm sure there are people out there who don't masturbate, especially if they're brought up in a super religious setting.

It is possible - but I'm not sure I get why it matters. If he's a great guy I'm sure the issue will cease to be important.

It's possible...

I would agree it is possible for religious reasons, but wow, I wouldn't be able to survive. More power to him I suppose if he is being honest.

Some men don't, so that may be true.

I know at least one guy who hasn't masturbated in his life (he's in his early 20's). Also, my partner didn't until he was about 18, and still avoids it like the plague. Both came from extremely religious families, so that probably has something to do with it either way, there's a chance this guy could be telling the truth!

My boyfriend did when he was super young but hasn't since he hit puberty. He's tried a few times but it just isn't something he's interested in. It's certainly possible!

It is certainly possible, all studies indicate there is a small percentage of men who do not masturbate. The other possibility is he is uncomfortable discussing and admitting it.

It is possible due to his personal feelings, beliefs and what he was taught when he was younger. Maybe he just has no desire to self-satisfy, I used to be that way until I was about 23.

I think it's more men who are married that I talk to that say they don't masturbate...but all single males I know do...

He is probably telling the truth, I just have always found it hard to believe it when someone I know say they don't masturbate. I always want to give them a brand new fleshlight and order them to start.

Definitely possible. The majority of humans masturbate, but there are people who don't.

You have raised an interesting question which could have several different answers. As some of the Posts have indicated, it could be on religious grounds or some other reason.

I had started a Poll along similar lines but included avoiding SEX or MASTURBATION. What I have discover is that it works both ways; both women and men can avoid masturbation for just the same reasons. It is not uncommon but possibly a normal behavior.

Here is a link for anyone to read on How long have you ABSTAINED from SEX? which I started and find quite interesting.

My man says he doesn't masturbate, I believe him... he has no reason to lie.

Harsh. Not every woman in the world does, so why assume every man does?

I'm sure that's possible

My husband doesn't, so he gets a little grumpy when he has to wait too long to have sex with me.

I think everyone has masturbated at one point in time in their life. But he could be being truthful, but he could be lying too.

Any sexually aware individual who doesn't masturbate must be suppressing their desires. A healthy sex life should include masturbation not only for oneself, but, their partner(s). Helps to understand pleasure - receiving and giving. Makes for a better lover!

sure it's possible to not masturbate.

very unlikely that someone would have NEVER masturbated... but sure it's possible to 'never masturbate' as in not do it anymore. on any sort of regular basis.

Good point. Personally, some men find it too personal to talk about.

I know not everyone does, though it doesn't make a lot of sense. There's practical benefits to reducing lust.

Anything is possible no matter how unlikely.

I'm gonna go with everyone masturbates. If they have hands and aren't paralyzed down below then they masturbate.
