It’s International Masturbation Month! Now you can have a whole month dedicated to, er, taking care of yourself. To celebrate the occasion, here are 7 things to know about self-love.
- About one in seven women have never masturbated
“When asked if they had ever masturbated before, 15% of the women surveyed as part of a Swedish study released earlier this month said no, compared to just 1% of men (in total, 3,000 men and women were interviewed),” reports the Guardian - Women are more likely to use sex toys
Although men are embracing sex toys more and more, 43% of women use them compared with just 13% of men. - Men fantasize while masturbating
Men are twice as likely to fantasize each time they jerk off than women. Where’s the imagination, ladies? - Duration can vary from five minutes to 150 minutes
According to the masturbation science site, Touchingforscience, masturbation can vary from quickies to long, luxurious self-love sessions. - Atheists love to jerk off
Atheists and agnostics were much more likely to have masturbated than religious folks. “Overall, 95% of agnostics said they had masturbated at least once in their lives, compared to 64% of fundamentalist Protestants, 62% of Christians and 53% of Jews.” - Married people are less likely to masturbate
According to a survey conducted by The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior, married people were the least likely to have masturbated in the past 90 days (57% of married men and 39% of married women). “Single and dating” women and “single” men were the most likely to have gotten off on their own. - Over 60% of men watch porn
In what comes as probably no surprise, men love to “double-click their mouse” on the internet!
