just saw a reddit thread where they're like 'if you're forbidding your partner from masturbating, that's religious brainwashing!' but in the same breath being totally fine with forbidding your partner from pursuing other things they might want even if it damages nobody at all.

Forbidding a partner to masturbate is a projection issue. My ex was violently enraged to hear I did it once. But forbidding a partner from having sex with other people is a concept so fundamental and basic that it goes unsaid and assumed in virtually every relationship on Earth.

is it tho? You do have lots of polyamory things - but also polygamy popped up a lot throughout history, and in a lot of cultures having a mistress is fine as long as you don't talk about it publicly.

Doesn't even have to be sex. I had an ex that was of the opinion that men cannot have female friends because sex stuff might happen, I guess, and my best friend of 15 years was female, so I was slowly cut off from being around one of my only close friends.

Well, if someone is against masturbation, you know it's because of religious brainwashing. If someone is against his/her partner sleeping with others, you know he or she is a regular human. 1/

Can you imagine saying this about a relationship that had a similar approach towards emotional intimacy? "We're not forbidding each other from not having any friends, we've just voluntarily agreed to both give up other friends"
