She is by far the best sexual partner I've ever hand and she has said the same about me.

My problem is that I often find myself very aroussed late at night and she is often too tired to have sex. When this happens, I often end up masturbating, usually with some porn, and always by myself.

Why is it that with all the great sex in my life, I still feel the need to masturbate? I'm no sex addict and feel very satisfied with our sex life but I just can't seem to get past the masturbating. As all guys know, masturbation feels much different than actual sex, but the final sensation feels that same to me.

Anyone got any ideas or pointers?
