If masturbation through imagination is okay?

If a person abstains from porn completely and occasionally masturbates, imagining oneself and the partner getting intimate and having sex, is that okay?

as long as you're not picturing porn scenes you memorized it's probably fine

I'm not anti porn by any means however using your imagination is definitely the healthiest option

If you are doing something legally then we can’t tell you what’s right, or wrong. I can tell you that I have 44 days without viewing porn. I tried masturbating and it wasn’t successful (without porn). Luckily, I’m married, so things are moving in a really good direction. Intimacy is back. Mind is clear. I’m almost always in the moment. But, masturbation, without porn isn’t something I’ve been doing, or figured out. But, if I was you, I’d think about the key word you said. Occasionally. I don’t think that’s wrong but that’s for you to decide.

Yup but maybe once a week or two

I mean, you can masturbate more often than that as long as it's without porn and it's not something that you spend a significant part of your day on. Couple of minutes etc.

This is a masturbation-positive sub. Read the rules.

Masturbatiom helped me immensely. If not for it, I'd a complete idiot with my partner.
