Did you know? Women masturbate far less compared to men!

Masturbation is considered an enjoyable and healthy experience by many. It is common knowledge that men who do not have women in their life end up masturbating a lot. And there are stats in the public domain that suggest so. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of taboo surrounding masturbation when it comes to women.

Large gender gap

Research suggests women masturbate far lesser than men. As per a study published by Huffpost, roughly 23.4 percent of men from the age group 25-29 prefer masturbating, while on the other hand, just 7.9 percent of women from the same age group do so. But, when it comes to Eporner achieved parity, it was the best thing that happened lately.

There are several reasons behind this gap. Besides differences in masturbation frequencies, it is possible that some women do not feel comfortable talking about their masturbation habits. They probably do not wish to share such highly personal information even as a part of the study. 

Another significant aspect that deserves attention is the number of tasks that women are responsible for handling daily. Married women with kids do a lot more than men in their daily life. A study from the Panel A study of Income Dynamics released a few years back highlighted how men’s behavior and habits result in an extra load of housework for wives.

Women spend their day handling parenting responsibilities, housework, professional duties, as well as intimate relationships with their husband or boyfriend. So, it’s not surprising that solo sex does not feature in the list of priorities for most women. Perhaps, women do not have the time and energy required for masturbation daily.

Whatever the reason may be, shame probably remains at the heart of it. The percentage of masturbation highlighted in various studies shows how society treats women as someone with lesser sexual needs than men.

The shaming begins at a very early age for women

Boys often always feel free to talk about their masturbation habits and even joke about them. On the other hand, if girls talk about the same, they are often ridiculed or shamed. Thus, girls in some societies are made to believe that masturbation or debates about the same are shameful acts.

The pattern does not change even when boys and girls turn adults. Men still discuss masturbation with ease, while women feel ashamed and avoid the topic altogether.

Initiatives from sex educators like Betty Dodson, guides like Jamye Waxman’s Getting Off, OMGYes, Sex for One as well as sex toys from LELO does attract attention. However, women still hesitate to talk about the issue publicly. Such silence does not benefit women; it is just like brushing the debate under the carpet.

Why should men have all the fun?

A similar study published by cosmopolitan last year brought some exciting insights under the spotlight.

Women who watch porn often end up watching something that appears appealing on the porn site’s home page. They prefer using toys, especially vibrators.

Women who participated and answered questions said they did it daily during their teenage years. But, they reduced it to twice or thrice daily as they grew older. Most of them said they masturbate if they feel bored, stressed, or are unable to sleep.

Overall, all the participants said masturbation helps them understand what pose, position, or action makes them feel comfortable during sex. These experiences also help them in improving relationships with male and female partners.
