Is masturbating better? Are there some people who prefer to masturbate?

There probably are, because it doesn't require another person's involvement or consent. There are times you might prefer to masturbate rather than put yourself in an awkward or difficult situation with someone else. Even people who are married masturbate occasionally. Your partner may be away for an extended period of time, or may not be in the mood for sex, or may not be feeling up to it
