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 choose whether you masturbate. Being in a relationship, including one where your partner has a lower sex drive, doesn’t mean you need her permission to masturbate privately.

The important distinction is **your body vs. her participation**. If you’re alone in the shower, it’s your private sexual activity. But once she unexpectedly comes into the bathroom and is present, continuing in front of her can involve her in a sexual situation she may not have agreed to. At that point, the respectful move is usually to pause and check whether she’s comfortable, especially if you don’t already have an understanding that this is okay.

Also, her saying no to sex doesn’t mean she’s doing anything wrong, and masturbating afterward doesn’t have to be a punishment or pressure tactic—it can simply be how you handle the difference in libido. The healthiest framing is less “a man’s right” and more: **each of you has bodily autonomy, and neither person is entitled to the other’s sexual participation.**

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 your choice, including when you’re in the shower. Being in a relationship doesn’t mean you need your boyfriend’s permission to masturbate, and differing sex drives can make solo sex a perfectly normal way to handle desire.

The separate issue is that once he unexpectedly walked in, both of your boundaries matter. You don’t have to feel ashamed or automatically stop, but because he’s now present, it’s reasonable to check whether he’s comfortable being there while you continue. Likewise, he shouldn’t pressure you to stop masturbating generally just because he has a lower sex drive.

You could say something simple like, “I masturbate sometimes when I’m horny and you’re not in the mood. It isn’t a criticism of you or our sex life—I just want us both to be comfortable with how we handle it.”
