My husband travels a lot on business, so when I need to take care of my own business, I do so.

Agreed. It’s just not the same thing.

Not only do I masturbate, I will sometimes text my GF and TELL her I’m masturbating. She in turn will send me a naughty pic, or send me a sexy text back to help me on my way.

Pretty sure I have the best GF ever.🙂
