M*sturbation is one of those activities that only men do, thus women don't do it. How frequently have you heard this utterly ludicrous and false claim? I would say fairly frequently. Because of the negative connotations associated with the word, women often reluctant to discuss or admit to m*sturbation. It's about time we realised that m*sturbation is a healthy self-care practise, and sure, women engage in it as well.
In a recent study, 1,500 Canadians between the ages of 18 and 24 were polled by the non-profit S*x Information and Education Council of Canada (SIECCAN) and the well-known condom manufacturer Trojan.
While men m*sturbate more frequently than women, the survey indicated that women are more likely to describe their self-love as "extremely pleasurable" (38% of women versus 29% of men).
Men may be more consistent at it, but women generally tend to do it better. Hah!
Professor of s*xology at the University of Guelph, Robin Milhausen, commented on the survey's results by saying, "I think that this generation considers it just another thing to do during the day without much thinking." "It's just an itch to scratch, just part of their habit," she continued.
In addition, she added, "Since they [women] are doing it less frequently, it's more of a special occasion. Women may be setting the scene more often; perhaps they are reading erotica or using a vibrator.
M*sturbation, aside from the obvious reasons why you'd want to do it, might help you feel less anxious and sleep better, in case you're still hesitant about it. Your sexual experience is improved, you get a natural high, your oestrogen levels are balanced, and it's the safest sex you've ever had.
Cynthia Loyst, a sex educator and the creator of FindYourPleasure.com, offered some words of wisdom to ladies who are hesitant to indulge in self-pleasure. For women who are still too self-conscious to have some fun alone, she suggested reading erotica, watching morally acceptable porn, sexting, and spending money on lubrication as quick and simple ways to show yourself some love.
Accept the strength of your own needs. Ladies, eat well, sleep soundly, and let go of your fear of masturbation!
