What is masturbation?
Well, one way of putting it, is “to have sex with yourself”, which… isn’t
really the correct term, as you can do it in the company of others too.. the
vulgar and blunt way of putting it, would be the manual stimulation of your genitals.
Don’t let the way I define it put you off… it supposively feels nice J
So how does one do this act?
Well dear reader, that is a delicate matter… people like different
things, and also everyone has different things that rock their boat.. like
eating ice-cream.. everyone has their favourite flavour, and different ways of
eating it… oui?
Now, it would be ever-so awkward for me to tell you a detailed “how-to”…
and I don’t think I’d be able to keep it PG, so, here’s some useful websites:
For girlies… The-clitoris.com
For maleies….
Is it
normal?
86.9% of males aged 18-19 and 66% of females aged 18-19 admitted masturbating at least once in their lifetime. (Statistics from the Kinsey institute)
So *ahem*, obviously, this is not something to be embarrassed about… more people masturbate than there are
non-straight people…
What’s more, it looks like masturbation has stopped being just a singular
act by the lonesome, people are masturbating with others too… there was also a
survey (by the same institute), about masturbating with other people…
49.3% of males aged 18-19 and 38.8% of females aged 18-19 admitted to have done so in their lifetimes…
Now, that doesn’t seem to be very
many, but if you look down the column at the “age 25-29” range, the number has
increased to 69% of males and 64% of females , which is more than half of those questioned!!
Other statistics from the webbie
- In a study of undergraduate college students, 98% of men and 44% of women reported having ever masturbated (Pinkerton, Bogart, Cecil, & Abramson, 2002).
- Among undergraduate students, men reported masturbating an average of 12 times per month, while women reported an average of 4.7 times per month (Pinkerton, Bogart, Cecil, & Abramson, 2002).
- In a study of African-American women aged 15 to 64, 62% reported that they had masturbated at some point during their lives (Robinson, Bockting, & Harrell, 2002).
- About 60% of men and 40% of women reported masturbating in the past year (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).
- Nearly 85% of men and 45% of women who were living with a sexual partner reported masturbating in the past year (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).
- 35% of American men aged 18-39 do not masturbate while 37% masturbate sometimes, and 28% one or more times per week (Laumann, Gagnon, Michael, Michaels, 1994).
- 53% of men and 25% of women masturbated for the first time by ages 11 to 13 (Janus & Janus, 1993).
- 5% of men and 11% of women have never masturbated (Janus & Janus, 1993).
But watch out Porn-lovers
In the UK, there may be a law
passed very soon, that makes internet providers censor “Adult content” (quick,
google this for more info), and make it necessary for people to “opt-in” to
view adult content. For you to be able
to continue to watch your favourite pornos online, you have to convince your
parents…
Ah, the awkwardness for youngens
to come makes me laugh… BUT, one thing that does worry me, is the awfully
frequent amount of times that we’ve used words such as PENIS, and LESBIANS…
Will our blog be censored too? Will I have to ask my mother nicely to “opt-in”
to view “Adult content”? I worry.
Yours worrisomely,
