There really was not ever a "lull" because even during the most stressful years when I was exhausted (when my children were young), self-pleasure is just the thing I would need (or sex for that matter). It's the best seditive there is if you're already tired; the best stress relief if you're wound up; and the best revitalizer if you're feeling listless. It's such a miracle drug - and it's free! ;-) However, there was a time at 44 when I was pretty much out of control (for about two years), but that was an extreme to an already high sex-drive.

It's been about forty years now since I first discovered masturbation, and it's been a constant throughout my life so far and I do not see (or at least I hope it will never) it ever not being a part of my life (as long as I'm healthy that is). I often get compliments from both men and women that I do not look my 48 years of age (they often say I look ten years younger). I do try and take care of myself (although I was simply blessed with good genes), but when I do hear that, I often think that it must be ALL of the sex (solo or together with my husband) I'm having and have had in past 40 years! That's a lot of sex! tee hee I can't help but think "It's because sex keeps the pump going strong and cleans out the pipes regularly." I always think that anything laying dormant or stagnant is not healthy--"Out with the old, and in with the new" I always say. I look at it as the true "cleansing" of the inner-soul (both physically and spiritually). Sex truly does the body (and the mind) good.

Masturbation for women is such an easy, convenient act, and it really does the body good. I cannot imagine why anyone would not indulge. It's a great supplement or additive to an already great sex life. Even if I'm home and I know my husband is coming home, I might even touch myself to get a head start (without orgasming). We also frequently do it together as a change off because we both love watching each other and it's convenient and "raw."

Sex is a part of "me" and hopefully will always be. If I'm not having it, I'm thinking about having it at some point in the day (it's sort of the high-point of the day ;-)), and I hope it will be that way until the day I die.

I voted "22 through 25." After sharing a bedroom with a roommate for almost all of my college years, I finally had my own room! Although I still have a roommate, we have separate bedrooms, so I don't have to sneak around so much and worry about getting caught. And the freedom of being able to go to my own room and masturbate whenever I want to is a temptation I don't pass up very often! ;) Also having my computer in my bedroom leads to even more temptation!

Now see, how can you compare responses like this when you don't know how old the respondent is? If you are only 15 now, your voting options are limited.

Funny, the second highest result would be my second answer. Must be a hormone thing.

Why does 46 through death get lumped together as one answer? I see the possibility for very interesting changes in habits during the perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. Of course we would need a larger group of women over 40 to answer to get any meaningful results.

I voted for all of the above. My reason is: At an early age the boy across the street introduced me to the great feeling. After that I pleasured myself quite frequently. Now I am 55 and still enjoy. My husband and I enjoy sex at least 5 times a week and this makes me very horny, so I pleasure myself often either while alone or in front of my husband.

As the saying goes once you have had it you can't live without it.
