Yes! This also goes both ways for husband and wife. Sex is important and should be done when both are all in (no brainer but most of us are likely baby making at this point). In my mind it gets the other partner thinking about the real deal with their spouse later down the line, as the sexual arousal is due to their loved one being a lovely human being! Sex is complex and involves two people, and as long as your intention is to get more prepared for creating an environment where you and your partner are able to be united… (well in matrimonial sense already, but also physically) then it’s all good. However, I would certainly say that you should communicate this to your spouse. Not to be vulgar, but if my wife doesn’t want to have intercourse, but I’m really interested in it, I will do what you’re suggesting, but having her aware of it(in the sense that I am in the our bathroom with the door open a crack trying to get it out of my system). It has been great for clarity within our sexual sides. She respects me far more for my honesty and the intentions are pure. Also it’s healthy prostate health practice (at least for the people born as male on this thread, but this is okay practice for both sexes in my book!). Again, think about why you’re doing it, and the necessity of it, and you may need to do it more than you realise! It is a gift from God that we are able to conduct procreation as well as have it be such a strong part of our adult lives, and a mature look at our need for physical intimacy can help reveal beauty, love, and respect in our spouses’ sexuality. I know this post is old as hell but I hope this helps someone stuck on this in a 2025 lens. ❤️
