In any long relationship, it’s bound to happen eventually – getting caught masturbating, taking care of business, going solo, jerking off. Someone is horny, the other someone is asleep, and so the horny someone decides to take matters into their own hands. Hey, we all have different levels of libidos.

True, most times the horny someone will sneak off to another room, waits until they are alone, or convinces the other one into sex.

But let’s imagine here that it’s late, they’re tired, and, hey—it’s their bed too, right? A glance over the shoulder let’s the horny one know the sleepy partner is not going to wake up anytime soon. So the horny one decides to service the equipment right there in bed.

Sexy pop quiz!!

If you were to wake up totally confused to a familiar shake, only to find it’s your partner taking care of business, solo-style right there besides you in bed?

How would you react?
You could….

A) Laugh

Nobody could blame you if you pissed yourself laughing for waking up to solo –good vibrations. Guess there are worse ways of waking up surprised. Laugh and say: ‘good on you and don’t let me stop you.’ and off to sleep. You don’t want to embarrass your partner for expressing natural sexual urges.

B) Ignore it and pretend you are still asleep – awkward!!

Why interrupt? This is a private moment, no need to embarrass anyone, and there’s certainly no need to interrupt it or your sleep. Maybe if it happens again and it makes you feel awkward you two should talk about it.

C) Shut it down with a loud – WTF

Probably left to discuss the next day since you don’t want to shame your partner for expressing his natural sexual urges, and it is nice he doesn’t feel he has to hide it from you.

D) Lend a hand

In response to the bed tremors, you could offer to lend a hand, as the sounds of your partner in the throes of self-pleasure could turn-on. Lend a hand or your mouth or have sex.

In general, masturbation is a perfectly normal part of our human sexuality. It enables us to be connected to our bodies in affirming and healthy ways. A good thing, however, can go too far.
