7/6/24. Women masturbate in order to relieve stress, not because they're fueled by rabid sexual fantasies, frisky new research from Switzerland has revealed. The steamy study surveyed 370 Swiss Approximately 98.9% of male participants and 85.5% of female participants said they had masturbated at some point in their lives, with men starting at around 12 to 13 years old, on average, and In 2022 women got themselves off an average of 100 times, but in 2023, self pleasure has dwindled so far, with women expected to have masturbated just 71 times on average by the end of the year Among women, after adjusting for age, race/ethnicity, education, annual household income, sexual identity, and current relationship status, those who desired partnered sex much more often and a little more often were 3.89 times (95% CI: 2.98, 5.08) and 2.07 times (95% CI: 1.63, 2.62), respectively, more likely to report higher frequencies of She points to another study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2019, showing that 26% of women masturbate once a week, and 27% have a self-love session two to three times a week. More Apart from age, research has revealed important gender differences, large-scale probability-based surveys on men's and women's masturbation have been limited (Das et al., 2009; Gerressu et 3 = 2 or 3 times in the past month, 4 = once a week, 5 = 2 or 3 times a week, 6 = once a day, and 7 = more than once a day. Statistical Analysis Following are what I believe to be the five most interesting findings from this study: 1. Orgasms are not the sole predictor of sexual satisfaction. To a small degree, and only in the context of a Among both women and men, there was a statistically significant difference in masturbation frequency across age groups. Women between 18 to 49 years showed a similar pattern, with about 26% masturbating 2 or 3 times per month. However, across age groups there was a general increase among women reporting no masturbation. Participants were 2215

women at least 18 years of age participating in a 42-item opt-in online survey that collected detailed information about women's orgasmic response during masturbation and partnered sex. The pattern of results enabled the development of three typologies of women who differ systematically with respect to their But according to a recent study based on a representative sample of American adults, only 38 percent of women said they'd masturbated at all during the past year. The figure for men was 61 percent That stat is one of several findings revealed in a recent masturbation survey conducted by sex toy company Tenga along with research firm PSB, drawing on data from 13,000 respondents ages 18 to 74 of women across the lifespan reported solo masturbation in the prior month (with rates exceeding 40% only for women ages 20-29), with 12% of women over 70 years of age report - ing past-month masturbation (Herbenick et al., 2010). More recently, in a comparison of sexual behaviors reported in the Additionally, another study showed that women masturbate at higher levels during the year before menopause than during the years they're menstruating. While plenty of women are pleasuring themselves regularly, the reported numbers are lower than men. This could be a result of the different gendered expectations when it comes to sex. Female masturbation is the self-stimulation of the genitals, including the vagina and clitoris. Typically, people masturbate until they orgasm, or climax. Females can masturbate with their hands As we move into adulthood, close to 100 percent of young men and women experience their first orgasms through masturbation. While our culture seems to widely accept and applaud this behavior in In the University of Chicago study, 38.5% of the men ages 75 to 85 reported having sexual activity with a partner in the previous year. Older women are less sexually active than older men. Both studies show that older women — even the "young old," in their 60s —

are less sexually active than men of the same age. For men, a regression model was obtained in which age (β = 0.15), current masturbation frequency (β = 0.18) and negative attitude towards masturbation (β = 0.17) explained 8% of the difficulty Women have always touched or rubbed their genitals for pleasure, just as men have. They just talk about it less.". Herbenick agrees, saying: "Many people don't realize how common An older 2009 study suggests that women may experience a physiological refractory period. Out of 174 females, 96% reported that the clitoris became too sensitive to continue sexual activity. But according to a recent study based on a representative sample of American adults, only 38 percent of women said they'd masturbated at all during the past year. The figure for men was 61 percent 54. The number of times per year the average American adult had sex between 2010 and 2014—a decrease from 60 between 1989 and 1994, according to an analysis of data from the annual General Social Survey, a representative sample of 26,620 U.S. adults.* 56. The average number of times that married adults had sex per year between 2010 and 2014, a decrease from 67 between 1989 and 1994.

Mary Ann Writes I n the summer of 1998, Brenda Woodard and Carolyn Deakins were two of the dozens of women selling sex on the streets of Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
