The stories in this category are about masturbating with your spouse. This may be as foreplay, to spice things up, or because of physical requirements. You may be together in person or connecting through technological means when separated for some reason. Mutual masturbation can help overcome many different obstacles to married sexual relations.

Masturbation can be a way to connect sexually when one or both partners are unable to have intercourse at the time — maybe due to age, illness, or distance — but they still want to engage in intimacy.  This can take the form of self-pleasure while watching each. But, for some, it can also encompass pleasing each other manually or with toys, one at a time or at the same time.  Usually, though, masturbation refers to self-stimulation and mutual masturbation to doing it together and for each other’s pleasure as much as for your own.

These stories illustrate how married couples who can’t or don’t want to engage in intercourse may still enjoy a fulfilling sexual encounter through masturbating together.
