  • The survey was on married people, not those in a relationship.

    If you included those in a relationship rather than just marriage I would hazard a guess figures are much higher.

    Also country, time of year probably play a part.

    Then if married do they have kids, that will greatly reduce number of chances.

  • Sex is just a lot more work for men than masturbating. Men are expected to do almost all of the physical work in sex, and are viewed as responsible for the orgasms of both participants. That's a lot of effort. Masturbating is much easier.

    • I understand what you are saying. With my last girlfriend, she would lie face up and I was on top. All that humping is like working out at the gym on the elliptical machine. It can be physically exhausting.

    • Exactly, plus if she doesn't have an orgasm, whose fault is that? It's yours, or so that is how most people see it. You as the man are responsible for pretty much everything in sex.

    • There were several times I had her go on top but it was too much physical exertion for her. I'm afraid they are going to improve the sex dolls so much that sex will be better with that.

  • Because I refuse to allow myself to be someone's cum bucket. Life takes over, if we had sex everyday we'd have no energy to do anything else.

    • That's a great point!

  • because sex feels better than masturbating and releases more sexual energy so you won't need to have sex everyday as it's more physical and burns more calories and has longer recovery time.

  • Because masturbation is quick and easy and still gives one a great orgasm. I think a healthy mix of sex and jerking off is a good balance.

  • Less free time. A relationship adds a lot of pressure to a sex life, espicially marriage and kids.

  • Masturbating takes a lot less effort than sex. It's easy to jack off every day or every other day, but it's a lot more work and stress to have sex that often

  • I'd say cause one takes about 5 minutes, the other takes an hour or two each time if you do foreplay right.

  • I don't know those mens lives i don't do it every day


    Also gotta take into account it takes two people to have sex so if woman says no man can't do much about it hahahaha

  • It's because guys live out different fantasies in their heads and get horny by them. As to with women they have to for whatever reason have a more casual and therefore more boring sex.

    • Are you saying that women view sex as boring?

    • No, i mean sex with women is more vanilla than their fantasies, so it can be boring in a lot of cases, especially if the woman just lays there and does nothing.

  • Probably because masturbation is just getting your self off; while sex is getting the other person off as well, so there's more effort put into it.

  • because men cum everyday, regardless if they have a partner... its not good to let your prostate gland sit full for days.

  • Self love is the best. What more proof you need? 🙂

  • Sex takes more time.
    It doesn't work every time.
    Masturbation seldom fails.
    by the way, my ideal period for having sex is about 2.5 times a week. Both sex or masturbation.

  • Sometimes masturbation is better than sex. I know that is difficult to believe, but any man who has had some of both will verify it. It isn't always like that, but sometimes it just is.

  • Because their partners aren’t interested in having sex that much.
    some women are in the same position -wanting more and not getting it.
    generally whoever wants sex less ends up setting the pace once honeymoon stage ends.

  • I guess it’s more work to have sex with a woman and dealing with another persons schedule to have it is possible why it’s not as often but you can masturebate on your own schedule

  • because he's tired give him rest ''nofap'' our penises need to heal we can't just have sex and masturbate everday

  • 1. People get less deisre to masturbate if they have a girl to kiss and cuddle whit.
    2. They don't have the same time like before now that they have a girlfriend and need to meet and walk all the time to her or to whait her at theyr place.
    3. Guys whant to same themself more ofthen knowing they can have sex any time.

    • Are you saying that when a man gets into a relationship he doesn't have the free time to masturbate anymore?

    • only in the point 2. When i whas in arelationship my last hours of the day whas spend whit my girlfriend and when i get home i just have 1 or 2 hours to get to sleep. So yes.
