"She insists that we never have sex while we are guests in their home or they are guests in ours. As ridiculous as I think that is, I am willing to go along with it. However, my wife has now decided it even extends to self-pleasure. She has forbidden me from taking a Fleshlight and has gone so far as to say I'm not even allowed to jerk off! She's completely out of line here, right?"
"It's fine. You're fine. It can be annoying. But I also think resetting is a good thing. I find that if I don't have sex or masturbate for a period of time-it could be a few days at a time, but it's usually less than a week-when I get back to it, it's better. So when life forces a reset, I think the best thing to do is to embrace it."
A couple will spend the week before Thanksgiving at her parents' house, and the wife forbids any sex while guests are present. She extended the rule to ban all self-pleasure, including a Fleshlight and masturbation. The husband objects and seeks advice about whether that restriction is unreasonable. Responders note that abstaining for a week poses no significant harm and does not threaten prostate health. Abstaining can be annoying but can function as a temporary reset that may improve sexual experience afterward. Readers are encouraged to accept short-term constraints during family visits rather than escalate conflict.
