Why does my boyfriend masturbate so often?
I've been going out with my boyfriend for almost 4 years now. For awhile, he hasn't wanted to have sex as often as I would. I would like to have sex often but hardly ever ask him to have it since I never think that he wants to. I usually ask every few weeks, sometimes more sometimes less. I get angry that he never asks me at all unless I start it. Recently I've found him looking at stuff on the internet. This made me so mad because he goes and looks at these girls on the internet instead of doing anything with me or even asking me. A few months ago, I found pictures of famous girls in tight clothing or open skirts on the computer and asked him about them. We got in an argument about it and he said that he wouldn't do it again. Just last week I found that he went on MySpace and got off to a girl in these cut off shorts that was an old friend of his. He hasn't seen this girl in 4 years and said that they were just friends when we first started dating. He just told me now that he actually used to like her, and thought she was hott. I still think that it is ridiculous that he went on there and got off to her pictures! I ask him about it and he immediately lies to me. I don't give up on asking him, and eventually he tells me the truth about it. I got so angry about it and so upset that he did this! We've got in several arguments about it, and I still think about it. The other day we sat down and had a serious talk about it. I poured my whole heart into it and told him what I felt about it and how much it hurt me. It makes me feel insecure about myself, I'll think that I'm ugly or that he doesn't like me. He said what he felt and told me that he wouldn't do that again. We deleted his MySpace so he couldn't get on and look at those pictures again. After we had this talk, it made me feel like we were so much closer and we had sex twice that day and I sucked him off. We were kissing more and even holding hands throughout the day. That night, we came home and I went to bed. I woke up the next day and got on the computer and the cd drive accidentally came open so I closed it and up popped my DVD, The Simple Life season 1. This time I was so unbelievably hurt and everything we had just built up had all been knocked down not even two hours after I went to bed! I asked him why it was in there figuring he probably got off to it. He lied and said it has been in there even though I knew it hadn't. I kept asking him and he eventually told me he watched it after I went to bed and got off to Paris Hilton's tight, skimpy clothing in it. I don't understand why he went and did this especially right after we talked about it for so long! I understand that he is going to masturbate sometimes but why so often that it interferes with our relationship sexually, and emotionally? I thought maybe he just didn't like having sex that often, but I found out that he masturbates 4-5 times a week sometimes even more. This whole time I thought that he would just go forever without having an orgasm when he was really just fantasizing all the time about these girls! He told me that he probably hasn't went more that 3-4 days since he was 13. He tells me that he loves having sex with me when we do, but sometimes doesn't feel like going through it and would just rather go quickly. He loves everything about when we have sex and thinks it is the best thing, he also orgasms every single time. I understand this, and we don't have to have sex like we do all the time and that I would have sex like that if he would just ask me. I just want to orgasm the one time every two months we have sex. If we had sex more often I understand that not every time I'm going to go and would love just getting him off. He also says that it isn't because he isn't attracted to me anymore, he asked me out because he thought I was the hottest girl he'd ever seen and still thinks that.
I'm so confused on why this happened and keeps happening. We are going to work on it a lot harder this time (well I know I am, and hopefully he does like he said he would) then we ever have and he has been trying to be more intimate and honest and I can tell he is making such an effort. I just would hate to be let down this time again, I don't think I could do it anymore if it happens again! Anyone have any advice? :confused:
