Any men get horny, watch porn but don't masturbate or relieve the sexual build up in any way?

Gents,

To deal with a dry spell this past year in my marriage (we only had sex about 5 times for this past year), I started viewing porn on almost a weekly basis.

The thing is though, even though I do get horny and so watch porn almost weekly, I rarely masturbate. So when I've felt horny in the past, I'd watch a few videos, yes, get even hornier but then just suppress the feeling? Meaning I ignore the horniness and just get back to whatever I was doing before without masturbating or touching myself in any way. I've actually only masturbated about 5 times this past year (meaning I've probably only had about 10 orgasms for the year in total).

Happy to say that the dry spell issue between me the Mrs has been resolved. But one thing that my wife did say to me was that she didn't know of anyone (including herself) who could regularly feel horny, watch porn and not have to masturbate afterwards, meaning no sexual release. Especially when sex isn't available.

So this got me wondering if there are any other men out there like me. Men who are not getting sex, regularly feel horny, watch porn but then just ignore that sexual build up and just crack on with the day?

(Ps. I don't know if it's something to do with the fact that I've been regularly watching porn since the age of 11 and feel like I've seen alot over the years so maybe this is why porn doesn't have that effect on me anymore and I can just suppress my urges?).

All answers appreciated.

TLDR: Any men out there who don't have sex regularly, and so get horny (regularly) as a result, watch porn when they feel that way but don't actually masturbate in any way (incl. edging) to relieve the sexual build up? Or am I alone in this, lol.

 

There are times I watch (of look at semi nude pic) get aroused to a varied extent and don't touch myself at all. Sometimes it is because I just liking looking at women.

Other times it is for the purpose of getting aroused for a multi day edging session. In the latter case the goal is to build up arousal and/or anticipation for a release either alone o with the mrs. There are times it is quite painful. After I do this I will sometimes get really bad bluebells. Sometimes it is accompanied by nausea.

When I finally release, especially if I bring myself close to cumming a few times...the climax is intense and very messy. I have found 4-5 days of not coming makes it ideal. I have not noticed a benefit from not comming for more than 5 days.

 

This, or a very close version of it.

 

73 single now and live alone, so sex isn't available, but when I watch porn and also when reading posts in the masturbation threads I always masturbate and ejaculate, don't see the point in watching porn and not masturbating

 

Absolutely it is fine to masturbate your way though a dry spell.

 

I love to have gentle sexual stimulation going on, like when I work--porn or panties or whatever, that keeps me feeling sexy and my nipples happy. I might stop for awhile and stroke to the point of precum and then go back to the background until finally, perhaps days later, I take a deep dive into porn and edge for hours. It's one way to enjoy porn and our private sex while still keeping 'horny' for a partner.
