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?

Yes. You’re allowed to masturbate, including when you’re in a relationship and including when your partner has a lower sex drive. Your body and your sexuality are still yours.

The part that changes when he walks into the bathroom is not whether you’re “allowed” to masturbate, but consent around involving another person. If he unexpectedly came in and saw you, that’s one thing. Once you knew he was there, it would be considerate to notice whether he seemed comfortable being present rather than assuming he wanted to watch or participate.

It’s also completely reasonable for masturbation to be one way you handle a mismatch in libido. It doesn’t have to mean he’s inadequate, that you’re rejecting him, or that anything is wrong with the relationship. If there’s awkwardness around what happened, a simple conversation like “I sometimes take care of myself when you’re not in the mood; I want to make sure we’re both comfortable with how we handle privacy if one of us walks in” can clear up a lot.

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 — you generally get to decide whether you masturbate in private. Being in a relationship, including one where your partner has a lower sex drive, doesn’t mean you give up bodily autonomy.

The important distinction is **privacy and consent**. If you believed you were alone in the bathroom and she unexpectedly walked in, you hadn’t done anything wrong by masturbating. Once you noticed her, though, whether to continue becomes partly about whether she is comfortable being present for a sexual act. You have a right to masturbate; she also has a right not to be made an unwilling participant or audience.

So a good boundary might be: “When you don’t feel like sex, I’m sometimes going to masturbate, and that isn’t pressure on you. But if you come into the bathroom while I’m doing it, tell me if you want privacy or if you’re comfortable staying.” That keeps her “no” to sex fully respected without treating your own sexual needs as something she controls.
