What changed the level of all sexual activity for me has been age. Happily my encounters now are more varied & interesting.

I won't vote in the poll since I'm not married yet (will be in August though). I have, however, been in the same relationship for 7 1/2 years...so I figure I can probably contribute since I practically am married for all practical purposes. My masturbation declined slightly (but not greatly) post-being in a serious long term relationship. My sex drive in general has decreased as well...so that has some to do with it, but obviously being with a partner allows me to be more sexually active in other ways, so there's not as much of a need.

I'm post marriage, so I voted since I've been in one.

Solo was the only sex I had in marriage (which increased from my single Life). He fooled me into believing his libido was normal, and he kept making excuses our first year, then it went into "IT'S YOUR FAULT! YOU'RE SABOTAGING ME! WHY ARE YOU GETTING WORKED UP ABOUT A GENITAL SNEEZE ANYWAY????"

Teach your daughters self-esteem and confidence so they won't end up like me and marry a testosterone-challenge d mama's boy looking for a substitute mama. (Did I mention his mother fixation?)

For me not much has changed. But since I introduced my wife to sex toys it has increased for her.

I masturbated some before marriage, but with Jonathan, I desire him all of the time and it's hard not to!

I definitely wanked more before my partner and I moved in together (not married but together going on 9 years so, hey, the paper is a technicality!).

Now, I tend to wank only if we're too busy to have sex or if I need stress relief or sleep and he's not around.

Oh, honey. It just breaks my heart to hear how badly you were treated by this milquetoast.

I'm really hoping you are going on to bigger and better things.

HUGS!

I've always had a very high sex drive and we enjoy mutual masturbation and alone time. All three of us have an amazing capacity for pleasure so masturbation, for us, is very important and doesn't detract from shared sex.

I did it a lot before we got married, and still do. A lot of it for us I think has been our comfort level, plus the toys, and now the fact that my libido is going through the roof.

I'm in a situation where, for considerable stretches of time, the only sort of sex I can have with my husband is mutual masturbation. So I do that and masturbate solo.
I probably got myself off with the same or similar frequency before we married or even met.

Masturbation increased in direct proportion to the amount (or lack) of sex from my ex.

I masturbated a lot before marriage and still do to some degree but don't get the chance to nearly as often now.

Chilipepper and I are often in the same boat on issues like this - while I did have some sex while I was married, it wasn't much and it wasn't good. I definitely masturbated more and more into that relationship.

Nothing changed for me. I'm still a "if I'm in the mood and no one around" masturbator. I really thought that I would slow down a bit, but 9 years later and I think I'm on the threshold of masturbating more....

I didn't have toys before I was married and I have never really liked to masturbate with my hands, so I definitely masturbate more since I married -- even though my husband and I have remained sexually active the whole time (partner sex ~3 - 7 times per week).

LOL at the last option on your poll!

Pretty much the same for me.

I was never married but I was with the same person for almost 8 years. Never masturbated while I was with him, just didn't have the desire. Now we're split up and I'm on a mission to get in touch with my sexual side that I've been missing all these years.

I have really slowed down when it comes to masterbating because my wife and I have a great sex life and we help take care of each other needs.

If you're talking about "masturbate to climax" probably less, but if you're talking about any manual stimulation of the genitals by myself or my partner it would be more.

Does masturbating for you partner count? Or masturbating while getting pegged? In that case, I don't know....it could be a wash.

Marriage changed nothing about my sex life, as my husband and I had already been living together for three years. I still masturbate several times a week, and he still gently teases me about having my Sunday afternoon "nap" while he is at work.
