I completely relate to this. For me, masturbation offers an unparalleled level of freedom and creativity that sex with a partner sometimes doesn’t. When I’m alone, I can tap into whatever fantasy I want without any hesitation or fear of judgment. There’s no need to hold back, and the privacy allows me to explore parts of myself that I wouldn’t necessarily feel comfortable sharing with someone else.
Sex, on the other hand, comes with expectations—both mine and my partner’s. There’s always an element of performance involved, even if it’s subtle. I’m constantly aware of how I’m being perceived or whether I’m doing enough to satisfy her. It’s enjoyable, sure, but it doesn’t always allow me to relax and lose myself in the moment the way masturbation does.
Another thing I’ve noticed is how much easier it is to focus on the pleasure itself when I’m by myself. When you’re with someone else, it’s not just about the physical sensations—it’s also about chemistry, connection, and emotional interplay. While these elements can make sex more meaningful, they can also create pressure. Masturbation, on the other hand, is pure, uncomplicated gratification.
That said, I do think there’s room to bring some of that fantasy world into real-life sex. It’s something I’ve been experimenting with—talking to my partners about what excites me and trying to add more creativity to our encounters. It doesn’t always match the vividness of my solo fantasies, but it has definitely made things more exciting.
