Masturbation is often considered a private topic and some people may feel embarrassed to think or ask about it. But the question of whether it should be considered as being unfaithful when done in secret by someone in a relationship or marriage is one that comes up quite frequently.

Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. It is not bad for you physically, sexually or emotionally and is just a normal release of sexual energy. Often it can also be a release of stress and anxiety.

Contrary to some peoples’ beliefs masturbation is not merely a habit of young people but continues throughout active sexual life.

There is no definitive answer as to whether someone who masturbates in secret is being unfaithful to their partner or spouse. That depends on the views of the individuals and couples concerned.

Where it can become an issue is when each partner in a relationship has different views on it. And because it is considered as a private and taboo topic by some it many never be discussed at all. This is where problems arise in a relationship when one partner discovers the other doing it.

Poor or lack of communication is the biggest cause of problems in relationships and marriages. It is essential that couples are open with each other so that they can set boundaries that are acceptable to both of them.

Masturbation and infidelity are two prime examples of this. Flirting with a third party may be considered as serious to one person as actual physical connection is to another.

There are 3 main types of infidelity: mental, emotional and physical. Masturbation could be considered to be mental infidelity if it is done by a person fantasising about someone other than their partner. But if it is done as a release of stress or anxiety it would probably be considered as harmless by the person doing it. This is why it is so important that couples are open with each other on all aspects of their relationship, including the sexual aspects that they might difficult to discuss.
