OK, so I know the question I'm going to ask doesn't apply to all women but...

Why do so few women masturbate?

I was doing an interveiw on facebook, and with each new question it shows you the answer given by the last 10 participants.

The question was "Do you masturbate?" 9/10 women said no, some of them even said that it was sick.

What I'm wondering is why? Pretty much all guys do it, why do so few women?

As a side issue, the important thing to note here is - don't go getting your information about life off sites like Facebook!

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

i figured they might have been lying, i only ever dated 1 girl who admitted to it too.

i guess i just see it as being a silly thing to deny.

A male reader, BadVoice United States +, writes (10 January 2008):

I think you have been misled. A great number of women masturbate daily. I am part owner of over 30 sex shops in 17 states and my business is booming with the sale of sex toys for women. I also have 60 females who throw sex shows or sex parties (like Avon or Tupperware) and they are booked constantly and help my sells. I can tell you this...I have not sold under 4200 dildo's or vibrators in the last 4 years. I'm quite sure that there are some gay men who buy my products, but these sex shows I speak of are only for females and they sell maybe 500 to 700 vibrators a week just from these parties. Don't believe everyone who deny's masturbating.

Dude, every girl I know masturbates. They dont talk about it as frequently as men do. Women have a high sex drive too, I think it's a bit of a misconception that women aren't sexual. We like hot guys and masturbation just as much as men like hot girls and masturbation. I suspect the real number would be something like 95% of women masturbate.

TasteofIndia agony auntFacebook isn't anonymous, so first off: people are probably lying. Even if it is anonymous, people still may be lying. Men are much more open about masturbation, it's a known fact that men do it - just like we all know that men get curious about porn and they think about sex often.

Women, however, it's not expected for them to think about these things or do these things... so all though girls may be doing it in private, they probably won't talk about it the way men do.

Also, a lot of girls don't know where to begin! The female anatomy is a pretty complicated section of the body, and a lot of girls have no idea how to pleasure themselves.

A LOT of girls are doing it, they just aren't as open about it as men are. Especially not on Facebook!!

xapathyxrebornx agony auntHmmm i think women are more ashamed of admiting it its like imagine it in school or a lunch break in college or work, theres three guys and three girls (yes ive been in this situation--Some guys feel they are more open to talk about masturbating even in front of girls.

BOY 1: Hey, So who jacked off last night then?

BOY 2+3: I did

GIRL 1: Ewww

BOY 3:What? its natural instinct! I bet you pleasure your self sometimes!

GIRL 1+2: No i dont!!! That's just...wrong! eww

GIRL 3: .....I dooo...*gets glared at by GIRL 1+2*

GIRL 3: ...sometimes

LOL see what im getting at, its norm women who aren't ashamed of their own body and are proud of the fact they are exploring themselves are ok to talk adn theres not many women in a group of say six people who are like that =] also some deny it becuase of the people they are around as well, as girl three demonstrated =]

So its basically a matetr of Sex Drive, Morale, Security and the level of peerr pressure and how comfortable the person is.

My wife thinks it is because men usually have a higher sex drive. I think it's because men have a need for sex, while women have more of a need for affection. My wife only did when she didn't have a man to have sex and affection with. Another girlfriend also told me the same thing.

I masturbate. I'm not afraid to admit it. But its not part of my everyday conversation. I think its vulgar to talk about. But I think its lame to deny it. I don't know. I'm not ashamed and none of my friends are either.

starfairy agony auntI think women are more ashamed to admit it...I bet the real figures would be 9/10 women do masturbate but don't admit it.

Most of my girl friends are like that as well, they say it's gross or act like it's a bad thing to do. But a few of my friends are open about that kind of thing, tell me what new vibrator is good, etc.

People were probably embarassed to answer as well, if it's not anonymous.
