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?

You’re entitled to masturbate, including when your girlfriend doesn’t want sex. Her lower sex drive doesn’t mean you have to suppress your own sexuality.

But there’s an important distinction: **you have autonomy over your own body; you don’t automatically have a right to involve someone else in a sexual situation without their consent.** If you were masturbating privately in the shower and she unexpectedly walked in, you hadn’t done anything wrong just because she happened to see you. Once you realized she was there, though, whether you keep going in front of her becomes partly a consent/boundary question.

A reasonable approach is: if you know she’s comfortable with seeing you masturbate, fine. If you don’t know, stop or cover up and talk about it later. You could simply ask, “If you walk in while I’m doing that, are you comfortable with me continuing, or would you rather I stop?”

And masturbating when she says no to sex is generally a healthy way to handle mismatched desire—provided it isn’t being used to pressure, punish, or guilt her for saying no.

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 have the right to masturbate, including in the shower, even if you’re in a relationship and even if your boyfriend has a lower sex drive. Your body and your sexual choices are yours.

The separate issue is privacy and consent when another person is present. If he unexpectedly walks in, you’re allowed to stop, continue, or ask him to leave—but it’s reasonable to make sure he’s comfortable being present rather than assuming he wants to watch or participate.

And masturbating when he doesn’t want sex isn’t inherently a criticism of him or a betrayal. It can simply be a way of meeting a sexual need that the two of you don’t always share at the same time.
