The Importance of Masturbation in a Sexual Partnership
Masturbation is often seen as cheating or a sign of dissatisfaction in a relationship, but it is actually an important practice in a sexual partnership. Solo sex and partnered sex serve different fundamental human needs. Masturbation allows for self-care, exploration, and a deeper connection with one's own body. It can also take the pressure off the partner to provide all the pleasure. Masturbation can be normalized and discussed openly, leading to greater intimacy and understanding between partners.
