Alt: tell your partner about the fantasies you have when you masturbate, and figure out together all the psychological/emotional/social/sexual parts that do it for you :)

Yeah, although for a lot of people* this is utterly terrifying to do, so requires somewhat careful handling. Telling someone your fantasies is in many ways way more emotionally intimate than actual sex. * e.g. me, though less so than it used to be.

Yeah. I'm able to do it in my current relationship, which is great, but it's taken us most of two years to get to the point where it's viable. Partly because it 100% would not have been safe in my last relationship, which made me a bit gunshy.

I'm happy for you that you're in a context where this feels viable (if not safe?) for you to do! How did you guys make progress towards getting you to this point?

Mostly just lots of incremental progress in this direction over a long period of time, enabled by being really good at relationship communication, them spending a lot of time helping me feel safe, and me working on dealing with a whole pile of my emotional baggage.
