I’m surprised how open everyone is dealing with this. For us it’s not a secret that we both masturbate, but we don’t tell the other about it unless they ask. Also, we don’t typically masturbate whilst the other is in the same room, except if we are doing it explicitly together. Idk, I guess it doesn’t sound bad to be super open as everyone else seems to be suggesting, but it also feels awkward when the other person is just chilling in the same room. Also I don’t see the need to confront my partner regularly with me masturbating; it is still a sexual act and as such can easily cross boundaries.
