And I know this is true for many women as well as men. I also do find that an erotic image/movie to focus on can help, I try to go for more sex positive feminist erotica than mainstream porn because of my views on the industry as a whole, it's not perfect but I feel guilt about sex no matter what I do anyway so there's no easy answer. So I can understand that it doesn't mean there's anything wrong in a relationship for a partner to also want to masturbate, it can make things better if acknowledged and even shared.
I want to point out that I don't have a problem with porn in general. I have a single brother that watches it and probably masturbates to it as well. I believe that is healthy behavior for a single man who doesn't have a woman to exchange sexual intimacy with on a daily basis. I'm speaking as a wife who goes above and beyond to pleasure her husband in ever way possible upon request. Porn is not something I'm open to incorporate into our 3yr marriage at least not at this point.
