Masturbation is healthy. Masturbation is inferior in every respect. Is has no affection and it is also less pleasing. Either way I don’t believe we’re entitled to our spouse’s bodies or to sex. That is mostly true, but cannot be applied as a ivory tower dogma. People learn theories and use them to judge the particular circumstance of couples they never met. Like a couple gets married, both have issues, and both suffer. One consequence is that they have almost no sex, which is terrible to the side that has libido. Then certain people pontificate: the side with libido should just live their entire life without sex. And the part who lacks libido should continue to have brutal headaches twice or thrice a week, as she believes “therapy is for the weak”. In no event can the husband demand she have therapy. Theory is dogma, material reality is nothing. It is analogous to conservative priests. Someone tells him: lifelong marriage is beautiful, but what about women who are physically abused by their husband? The priest pontificates: according to the doctrine, second unions cannot be tolerated. The solution is that she takes the children to her parent’s house, then raise them without a father, and she lives without a husband for her entire life, because dogma is dogma.

    Masturbation is inferior in every respect. Is has zero affection, it is less pleasing, less fun, less everything. It’s less coercive than expecting sex from another person who clearly doesn’t want to have sex. If the main issue with your frustration is physical then this is the most straightforward solution. If it’s more psychological then there’s other things you can do to not put so much weight on that. For example most men seem to get taught that not fucking makes them losers and that’s just untrue, unlearning harmful conditioning is good for all parties.
