You are really sharing your private life.
Probably for me since I am not a sex therapist my response is, TMI.
You know the old saying, "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle."
The one I like best is, "Can't live with them, can't live without them."
RE: If your partner deprive you from sex for a particular period of time, which will you do, masturbate or have sex with someone else? And state your reason?
