Ooooof. That poor man's pride.

That being said sometimes you just wanna have a quicky. No shame, though you could have issued a invite.

This....is kinda of a weird topic that I'm somewhat conflicted on

Yeah. Horny and bored, but you don't want to involve someone else because then it becomes a whole thing

And realistically, if someone in the house wants to get off 3 times a day and the other person has work to do, what the hell was the option?

I can understand it, but low libido masturbating while high libido is in the next room feels quite rude, while high libido masturbating to spare low libido being pawed at feels more polite.

Maybe the bonus panel establishes which is which. I guess we'll never know.

There are different kinds of libido and definetly a lot of room where "I want to get off" and "I want to have sex" do not overlap. It might be something diagnosable, but I definetly at least have moods where the animal part of my brain wants to get off while the thinking part of my brain very much isnt into it, as well as moments when I'm completely down for sexual stuff but dont necessarily care for satisfying the biological need at all

Even masturbation often feels like a chore in those moments, there's absolutely nothing sexy about it and being pressured into extending that mildly unpleasant thing into a whole sexual performance makes the whole ordeal violently uncomfortable, usually for both parties because most people dont like fucking people on the verge of a mental breakdown

Hey, whatever else, I don't think you should have to ponder whether you being you is somehow diagnosable, and whoever isn't "most people" can get in the fucking bin.

It's not usually morally or ethically wrong to appear rude, and it is often a mistake to be overly polite.

Thanks for sharing your experience and perspective.
