Masturbation is often a taboo subject in marriage. People keep it hidden out of shame and fear of hurting their partner's feelings. And for some, a partner masturbating brings up deep feelings of shame. They feel that this is proof that they are not desired, and they feel deeply hurt that "my husband prefers his hand over me", or "my wife prefers her vibrator over me".
These feelings lead to efforts to ban masturbation from the marriage which just results in one partner hiding part of themselves. And, as we all know, trying to hide from your partner never turns out well.
Today I'm talking with Dr. Ari Tuckman on this important topic. Ari has a unique combination of skills. He is a psychologist, an expert on ADHD, and a Certified Sex Therapist. I think you'll enjoy this interesting show about sexuality and marriage.
