Further to my previous post...

In my previous post I mused briefly on the female perspective regarding men's desire for self-pleasuring, and whether this was distorted by their own (lesser) desire for the same (to recap, I was pondering whether Mistress R understood quite what an achievement I thought it was to 'only' touch my cock three times in three weeks). So I Googled 'female masturbation' and (eventually ;)) came up with this...

"A new study reveals 92% of women regularly take time out to masturbate, a huge jump from the findings of previous studies (74% in 1979 and 62% in 1953)."

Does it? Or are women just more willing to admit it now?

"The Gossard Big M Survey interviewed 1,000 women, ages 18-30, and their answers indicate that not only do 9 out of 10 women play with themselves, two-thirds do it three times a week. The study refers to these as "sessions," which we can assume doesn't refer to the number of orgasms achieved, but rather, the time spent achieving them. 'Cause you know that if you have one, you stick around for more. Orgasms from masturbating are like Payless shoes: Once you get the first pair, you get the second for next to nothing."

Well that's a bit of a generalisation, since I know many women can only cum once in one 'session' (most famously, legendary porn star Nina Hartley, and God knows she's tried!), but I digress....

What they don't address (more to the point) is are these women in relationships, single or just plain horny? It wouldn't particularly surprise me if the average 18-30 year old woman liked to cum three times a week, but I would be slightly surprised if the average 18-30 woman was masturbating three times a week on top of a satisfying sexual relationship (with a male or female partner). Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just conforming to male stereotypes by believing that women desire orgasm less frequently than men?

I was going to suggest a poll on the subject (since my blog has been sadly poll free for over a week now) but I'm not sure if the (few) ladies who view my blog would really be representative of womankind as a whole. Oh what the hell, let's do it anyway!
