According to a survey conducted by TENGA, people in relationships (both gender) masturbate an average of 10 times per month (Fellizar, 2016, para. 2).
Personally for me, I masturbate regardless of my relationship status. I don’t think that masturbation is a sexual activity that is only for single men who are deprived of sex.
There are actually many benefits of masturbating while in a relationship. One of them is masturbation makes you better at sex (Gilmour, 2020).
While masturbating whilst in a relationship may be healthy, I personally believe that both partners should be aware and accepting of the idea. Some girls think that masturbating in a relationship may be construed as cheating, so it all boils down to each individual relationship.
I have sex toys for both masturbation as well as to use in bed with a partner. Toys have certainly improved my sex life but increasing my sexual stamina as well as helping me explore my likes and dislikes.
Weston (2007) says that masturbation helps balance discrepancies in frequency desires and is an aid to a relationship in the long run.

Any opportunity I get, whether I'm in a relationship or not. It's never stopped me from having sex with her also. A lot of women are insecure about a guy jerking off they think he's thinking of somebody else. We just need to cum. And then women say that he doesn't need to do that I would give it to him anytime he wants. Sometimes we just want a quickie. Jerk off, we don't have to worry about helping somebody else get off. We don't want to feel guilty that she's getting us off without doing anything to her. We just want to cum

0 0 0 0Rachel... great question. As you know all younger guys jerk off frequently.. but most will never admit it. Yes guys still jerk off even when they have a girlfriend or are married. I have a great sex life but my wife and I still masturbate if the other is away on business or at work or if one is just not in the mood. Masturbation is healthy and sometimes it is fun to go solo and just enjoy giving yourself a great orgasm. What have you noticed with your boyfriends or even yourself?
0 0 0 0I'm married and I still masturbate. My wife does too. It's not anything wrong with us, just feels good and is different than sex with each other. Part of the sex toolbox. And then, sometimes, we'll do it while the other one watches.
1 1 0 0I used to whether in a relationship or not. Now, masturbation is kind of depressing so I'll "edge" but not finish. In a relationship I obviously wouldn't do this as it's kind of an all day event.
0 1 0 0I masturbate all the time. It does not have anything to do with my satisfaction in any relationship. In fact, I often masturbate in bed next to a girlfriend. b

@stratford I’ve had girls who were really into it. And I’ve had some from whom I had to hide it to avoid upsetting them. after having sex, after one or both of us just can’t do anymore, I am usually extremely aroused and hungry for more stimulation. If I can just stroke myself while she snuggles with me, I’m happy. If she will continue to play with my soft, sticky, extremely sensitive penis, then I’m in heaven.
There's two types of men. The type who jerk off regularly and the type that lie about jerking off when they're in a relationship.
0 0 0 0Whenever I feel like it.
0 0 0 0Both, when I have a girlfriend and when I don't. Most often when I have a girlfriend, because I jerk-off to things she and I do when together.
0 0 0 0Every single day, usually twice. More than twice more often than less. Even the most lustful women couldn’t match my pace for more than a couple months early on. I used to abstain to preserve their feelings. Then i realized that they COULD participate to preserve MY feelings. Haven’t held back since.
