Masturbation and women

Studies conducted in 1953, 1979 and 2008 show that women masturbate more often than we think. The results of how many women masturbated were 64% in 1953, 74% in 1979 and 92% in 2008. This is what a woman had to say about how often she masturbated.

“I masturbate 5 times a week. Each session lasts 12 minutes with a minimum of 3 orgasms and a maximum of 13 orgasms. I use the Hitachi Magic Wand which is indeed magical, so the act is easier. I make up for the time saved by being greedy with having as many orgasms as possible.”

For women all sexual activity is a full body experience. Unlike men who need penile stimulation, for women masturbation is not just vagina centric. When a woman masturbates she involves her whole body. A woman may easily have an orgasm simply with breast stimulation. Some highly sexed women may orgasm stimulating their thighs. Ancient Indian texts describe why women in India like to ride swings. It is an age old tradition and has a lot to do with sexual pleasure. The movements of a swing create sensations in the genitalia and may even produce orgasm. A woman has sex with her whole body. The belly, buttocks, breasts, legs and arms are as much involved as the vagina and clitoris.

When we talk about women and masturbation, men often picture a woman with a vibrator, pleasing her vagina. But in reality when a woman masturbates she plays with her breasts, touches her belly and would stimulate her whole body. The skin between the anus and the vagina is especially sensitive to stimulus. Unlike men a women can pleasure herself even more with multiple orgasms. Some women say that masturbation puts them in touch with their needs and improves their sex life. Men are not really sensitive to their partner’s needs; all they want is to shoot their load off. However, most men will do what they are asked of in bed, but that can work if the partner knows what she wants. Masturbation help women get there.

Masturbation, like all sexual activity, activates the pleasure centers in the brain and helps relieve stress. For a woman it brings her in touch with her needs and can help her understand how to have better sex with a partner. When she is alone she can experiment with what works for her and what she would want her partner to do. Often women take to masturbation because their partners cannot last or are not sensitive to her needs. But every woman is different some may do it more often than others, some may do it due to frustration others for the pleasure of It.

Men start to masturbate at a very early age but women usually start to masturbate after they enter their teens. Many women do it only after they get sexually active with a partner often after marriage. Women need more time and space for such “sessions”. While men can do it just about anywhere women usually like to set the right mood and prepare their environment. While a male “session” may only last a few minutes a “session” for a woman would last much longer. A man would not want to go on after an orgasm but a woman has just started with the first orgasm. She will have a number and range of orgasms in one “session”.
