I would have said it's normal until I reached reading how frequent she does it. Did you talk to her at any point? You've been together for quite a long time and talking does a lot of magic. I wouldn't say something is wrong with her because there might also just be something wrong and not directly her. Try talking, though.
That sounds very much like my husband and myself. We have been married 26 years.
During sex I have been having more orgasms than in the past (up to 10), I still masterbate outside of that, sometimes because I get excited thinking about the sex we had. Lol
Do you also give her orgasms? Or do you usually just touch and watch. I know I like it better when my husband gets more actively involved in causing the orgasms.
She might just have a higher sex drive than you.
Thanks for the feedback....AnnieBrooke, i do agree with you and im glad you responded. i do feel the higher percentage for her is to relieve stress, i dont believe its an addiction in a negative way no. She seems to do it more in a relaxing atmosphere,bathing, shower or laying in bed. Shes not into toys and is not into the freakish/nympho catagory....lol....we are happy, and she never replaces her doing this for sex or intamacy with me. I just had never really known or heard of a woman masturbating that much, but i dont have an opinion either way as of too much or too little. And i do also agree....my wording "phase" was not a great definition of what i was asking, i do believe its not a phase too.
I don't really see how that's a problem. If she's happy and she's been doing it for as long as you say she has then I really wouldn't worry.
If you are both happy with the relationship and she is sexually satisfied the way things are, don't worry. She probably just finds the masturbatory experience helpful or satisfactory in a different way than having intercourse. (It's certainly easier.) Some people masturbate as a way to relieve stress, for example. If *she* is concerned that she has an addiction, then she could talk to a counselor about it, but if she has a perfectly functional life and the two of you are happy and have a good sex life, it just seems like it is not a problem.
