Guys, Why would a man choose masturbating over sex?

So I have a dilemma. My husband says he is no longer interested in having sex, that it is just not a priority for him. I am a very touch oriented person so this is harming our relationship intimacy. I have tried for months to find ways to compromise with him on it so that we are still connecting to each other. Two days ago I found out he is masturbating all the time. It is kind of insulting to me. Not that he masturbates, that's fine, but that he is obviously into the release but making no effort to be a part of that for me or have sex with me. He tells me this is normal and that guys just do it to do it. I need perspective on this.

Addendum: I know the usual go-tos are cheating or that someone has let themselves go, etc. I am a very active woman who has maintained herself and even bettered herself since we have been together. Others describe me as very physically attractive and I am a very supportive and loving wife. When we are home I make an effort to dress in a way that is comfortable but sexy (short shorts, tight tanks or crop tops). Should I just be done with this or am I missing something? It is making me feel horrible.

  • While pretty much every guy masturbates, doing so instead of sex is less common.

  • There’s absolutely no reason for that, he’s just being lazy.
    If you had a real man, he would be giving that warm, wet pussy of yours a good workout.

    • unless he thinks its gross

    • @strawberrylipstick trust me that it is not gross unless he just doesn't like pussy at all

    • I mean if a girl likes sex but doesn't wanna go down on a guy then its fine right? Why can't a guy think the same?

  • Random thought... ask him to let you or teach you how to give a great handjob... youve always wanted to learn from someone you trust... that could lead to something

  • That's not normal only do that when ur single

  • not sure, i would want sex

  • He's gay

  • Damn he has a horny wife, but doesn't he fuck?

  • Cuckold him

  • He's probably not physically attracted to you anymore.

    • It is possible but it is not because of how I look. I look better now than when we married

    • He need to man up and tell you what's the problem.
