My girlfriend came into the bathroom while I was masturbating. First I didnt notice she was then and then I thought should I stop or keep going. She has lower sex drive than me and she kind if knows I do it in the shower when she says no.  Its a man's right to choose if he wants to masturbate in the shower correct?

Yes—masturbating privately is generally your choice, including in the shower. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean your girlfriend gets to decide whether you’re allowed to masturbate, and a mismatch in sex drive can make solo sex a perfectly normal outlet.

The important distinction is **privacy versus involving someone without their consent**. Once you realized she was in the bathroom, continuing openly could make her an unwilling participant or audience if she hadn’t indicated she was comfortable with that. At that point, the respectful move would be to stop, cover up, ask for privacy, or check whether she’s okay being there.

So: **your body, your choice to masturbate; her choice whether she wants to be present for sexual activity.** Those two rights can coexist. It may be worth agreeing on a simple boundary like, “If I’m showering with the door closed, please knock first,” especially since she already knows you sometimes masturbate after she declines sex.

My boyfriend came into the bathroom while I was masturbating. First I didnt notice he was then and then I thought should I stop or keep going. He has lower sex drive than me and he kind if knows I do it in the shower when he says no.  Its a womans right to choose if she wants to masturbate in the shower correct?

### ChatGPT

Yes. Masturbating is a normal personal choice, and being in a relationship doesn’t mean you give up the right to your own body or sexual autonomy. If you want to masturbate privately in the shower, including at times when your boyfriend doesn’t want sex, that’s your decision.

The part that changes once he walks in is mainly about **privacy and consent**, not whether you’re “allowed” to masturbate. You didn’t know he was there at first, so you hadn’t chosen to involve him. Once you noticed him, you could stop, continue if you were comfortable, or ask him to leave. Likewise, he’s allowed to feel awkward or not want to be present, but that doesn’t give him authority over whether you masturbate privately.

Having different sex drives is very common, and masturbation can actually be a reasonable way to handle that mismatch without pressuring the lower-desire partner into sex. If this incident made things awkward, it may help to agree on a simple boundary such as knocking before entering the bathroom and treating solo sexual time as private unless you both explicitly want to share it.
