I am deployed to Iraq, where I live in a small room in a trailer with another soldier. I frequently masturbate after he has gone to sleep, as he has to wake up before me and we cannot see each other directly from the way the furniture is situated. He tells me that he knows when I masturbate because my hand (and dick) cast a long shadow on the wall from the light of my desklamp and he says that it keeps him awake just knowing that I am stroking my bone about ten feet away. Usually I wait until at least half an hour after he turns off his light to start, but he says he can sense it and it wakes him up and he just lays there staring at the shadow of my hand sliding up and down my shaft. He says he can even see when the come shoots out and I climax, but says that he can't get to sleep if I am jerking off.Should I stop? I have tried to wank at different times, like after he goes to work in the morning, but the urge just isn't the same then and the climax is always somewhat less fulfilling. I have tried to stop altogether only to find that I apparently masturbate in my sleep.Since I am deployed, there are not a lot of places I can go to "handle myself" in private. I have spoken to some of the other guys and they all say that they do it in front of their roommate and that it is just "taking care of business" and "no big deal". That said, I admit the thought of masturbating with my roommate watching is a terrible turn-on, but it seems so wrong. But still, I can't just stop.What would you do?

The telltale shadow

What about moving your desklamp, or putting a shade over it?

First off, thanks man for putting yourself out there for all of us. Never been in the service but have a lot of former students and friends over there with you, none of us truly knows what you're dealing with on a daily basis so hats off to you and all of your fellow soldiers. That said, I think you should be able to masturbate as often as you'd like and anywhere you can withouth feeling guilty. I think I'd start with your roomie, does your masturbation bother him and is he complaining or is he just letting you know that he knows? I'd have a chat with him about it. I also like the suggestion of turning off the light or covering it so the shadows don't appear, of course he may still "realize" or at least wonder what you're doing....oh well, he can't see it then. Also, you might ask him if he masturbates and when, maybe the two of you can work out a privacy schedule or some other agreement, happens in college dorms all the time. Finally, please don't feel guilty about this at all and I don't even know if him knowing it would bother me, its normal and healthy (especially in your situation) so lets not make a big deal out of it. Let us know how this works out and stay safe. Feel free to keep in touch with us for support other than this issue, its the least we can do!

thats easy enough, if it bothers him, turn your light off

As Ineligible and doe said, you need to move or turn off the light source. Otherwise, I think you should stop masturbating at night. You can imagine how it could be a bit disturbing watching another guy spanking the monkey.

Simply turn off your desk lamp and beat away. Jacking off in the dark can be even more pleasurable.

I think its better when the lights are on and somebody is peeking....
