Before we were married, my wife masturbated a few times, and after we were married, she masturbated alone a few times, but for the last 40 years, my wife has only wanted to have orgasms when she is with me so all of her orgasms occur while we are having sex proper or while I am masturbating her or while I am beside her and her hands take over for me because sometimes she cums through my ministrations and sometimes she needs to gently push my hand aside so she can apply the exact pressure exactly nl. where she needs it to reach her climax.
Years ago, I was mildly offended when she occasionally took over because she felt the urge to do finish it or because my hand just wasn't doing it the exact way she needed it done. Eventually, after my machoectomy, I realized that if she needed to to do it herself to reach her orgasm, then I needed to be happy just emotionally supporting her, instead of thinking I needed to be in charge of her orgasm.
So, now I am satisfied lying beside her, suckling her breast which helps her to reach her orgasm and I enjoy her orgasm almost as much as she does. As she writhes in ecstasy beside me . . . so do I beside her.

I do not have the same will power as my wife and so like @GillyJ and @JT1999 I occasionally indulge without my wife.
I'd struggle not too, I'm happily married, we have a great sex life, but 'me time' is so important to me, and is more frequent than ever after joining Zity, chats with new friends has made it almost irresistible. I respect anyone who has the willpower not to masturbate, but unfortunately, I haven't got the willpower to resist❤️
@GillyJ I'm the same.
