I was wondering why it is so publicly excepted for guys to pleasure themselves and nobody will think anything of it except that they're just being a guy, but when a girl does she is considered dirty, or a slut.

What is the difference between a guy doing it and a girl doing it?

Let me know what you think.

LazyGuy agony auntSo, you are basing your opinion about sex on the opinion of teenage boys...

The only reason teenage boys aren;t the dumbest form of life on the planet is because there are teenage girls who believe them.

The only thing they know about sex is from the porn they found for free on the net with a hundred virusses attached.

That is total nonsense. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a girl masturbating. It is only relieving stress on your own body. How could that make you slutty. It sounds to me like a young imature boy told you that stuff LOL. Anyways, don't worry, ALL women masturbate, and your not a slut because you masturbate.

Brenna36 is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Brenna36 agony auntOk at school me and a few of my girl friends were talking to some guys and the subject of masturbation came up and we all said we did it and they all freaked out. They said its only exceptable to masturbate if your a porn star and do it in front of a camera.

We said well all girls do it just like guys do and they said there is no way a girl who loves sex would ever ddo that with out a guy.

LazyGuy agony auntEheh. If that is the case, why do drug stores and even a electronic stores have lots of vibrator type toys for sale but no artificial vagina's?

I think you are stuck in the 50's, times have changed.

GrimmReality agony auntBrenna, where did you get this idea? Uncle Phil (aka Buzzkill...lol) hit it right on the head(no pun intended) with the analogy of masturbation being common to all people. Maybe some are a little more embarrassed than others about it. But everyone does it.

It's perfectly normal, and please let us know who is filling your head full of this rubbish about women being sluts who masturbate?

If I didnt have to earn a living each day Id lock myself in my house, rename it the Masturbatorium and invite all my friends to come on over for a little "Fondue and Jerking".

See how insane that statement is? Whoever told you that masturbation is considered dirty for a female is just as insane!

It's not ok. It's perfectly normal for guys AND girls to masturbate. Have boys or girls around you told you this? I think some boys have a hard to accepting that girls actually do masurbate. The difference is that girls don't always tell people or walk around with their hands down their pants. Masturbating is far from being slutty - in fact it's probably the least slutty thing you can do to pleasure yourself.

k_c100 agony auntI've never heard of a girl being considered dirty for masturbating, where did you hear that one?!

Masturbation is totally normal for both sexes, everyone does it and that is widely accepted.

I wonder if what you are referring to here is the difference between attitudes for men and women having multiple sex partners? Often a girl will get labeled as a slut if she sleeps around and has casual sex, whereas men are labeled a "stud" or celebrated if they have sex with lots of women.

I guess this is just based on traditional (outdated) values - men who can attract lots of women are considered more masculine and powerful because of their ability to attract a woman (this goes back to cave man times) whereas women are supposed to remain a virgin until marriage, and they are supposed to be loyal and faithful to one man.

It is just remnants of caveman thinking that has been left over in today's society. Slowly we are catching up, and it is normal now for women to enjoy sex just as much as a man would, so therefore if she chooses to have casual sex then that is her choice.

Try not to worry about what other people think of you - as long as you are happy with your choices in life and you are proud of the decisions you have made then that is all that matters!

I hope this helps!

I think you're wrong in your assumptions.

It's accepted throughout the world that masturbation is the one thing that is common to all people and is the one thing that unites all members of the human race - as well as several other animal races! Have you ever wondered why a dog licks its balls or a bitch licks its spuggie? It's not all about cleanliness!
