  • I was 13 or 14.
  • I was 15 through 17.
  • I was 18 through 20.
  • I was 21 through 23.
  • I was 24 through 26.
  • I was 27 through 29.
  • I was 30 through 39.
  • I was 40 or older.
  • I've never masturbated on a regular basis.

You remind me of the boy in the "Little Johnny" jokes... tee hee

Regularly is twice a month? I have orgasmed at least once almost every day ever since I discovered masturbation (around 8 or 9). I either have sex or self-pleasure (it puts me to sleep, relieves stress, etc).

For women, masturbation can pretty much be accomplished with ease (there is no mess to clean up and we do not have a potruding organ) so it's not a big deal to just do it on a whim. If I choose to, I can literally orgasm within two minutes (I have my favorite fantasies just for this purpose), depending on whether I was fully aroused beforehand, or not aroused in the least. In ten minutes, I can have several orgasms if I choose to, or if I am particuarly in a certain mood, I will draw out my first orgasm with lots of build-up. Also, I may have had sex at 5:30 with my husband, and then go back to sleep briefly only to wake up (after he's gone) to think about the sex we just had (and the lingering scents) and then self-pleasure rehashing the whole thing again (sort of a double-feature.... ;-)).

Average is once a day (supplemental with sex), but it very often happens where I have sex and self-pleasure within the same day. I have a high sex drive and always have ever since I first discovered my own body. When I have the time and the desire, I can even go on for 40 minutes or so and have numerous orgasms. My husband has always said that I feel the exact same way inside that I did when he first met me at 19. I always thought that was probably the reason--it gets plenty of "exercise." ;-) When a woman orgasms or even when she is building towards one (or simply becomes aroused), it is as though that whole area becomes a centrifuge. You can actually feel all of your bodily energy being squeezed into the center of your genital area--until orgasming frees it. That "squeezing" is just nature's way of keeping the insides "toned" and "healthy" (and the extra blood flow to the area, as well). The extra fluids that are free-flowing as well, will keep the vagina clean and fresh. I have not had a yeast infection in over 25 years (after I stopped douching regularly).

Anyhow, most of the women I have discussed this with in the least masturbate at least a few times a week even if they are having sex as well. Single women - daily. I do not know anyone, male or female who would consider twice a month as being "regular." For women, masturbation is something that can be done with much ease, just about anywhere, at any time and most of them it seems, "take advantage" of it. Now getting them to admit it, is another story-- particuarly to men. tee hee

My partner goes through phases. Sometimes she'll masturbate a couple of times a week and then quite happily go without masturbating for several months.

That you KNOW of, Westie! Couples don't typically tell their partner EVERY TIME they bang the gong.

I usually masturbate about every day, at least once. I enjoy sex with my husband, but I think of it as kind of a "warm up" to the sex. I think the most I've ever masturbated in one day was 7 or 8 times (then I think I had sex twice). Sometimes it's just better to please yourself.

Yeah, true. She's seems pretty up front about it, but yeah, I'd never know.

I voted "I was 13 or 14." Although I first discovered masturbation when I was 12, I didn't do it very often because I thought I was doing something wrong, felt guilty, and was afraid of getting caught. But although I still thought I was doing something wrong throughout my junior high and high school years, the pleasure of reaching orgasm outweighed the guilt and I began masturbating more and more often. It was my "guilty pleasure." :) It wasn't until I was in college that I realized how normal masturbation is and stopped feeling guilty about it. Currently, I probably masturbate about once per week when I'm in an intimate relationship and about 5 or 6 times a week when I'm not dating anyone.

I discovered masturbation at about 14. My mother had a "facial/manicure set" that had attachments and was electric. I was in my bedroom "doing my nails" and somehow discovered my clit. All I knew was it felt SO GOOD... As I was enjoying, she came in to see what was going on because apparently it was interfering with the tv reception (way before cable...) I was breathing pretty hard when I told her "doing my nails." That introduced me to the world of vibrators and self satisfaction. Now in my 40's, if I feel the need there is no hesitation...I simply take care of business whenever. My husbands interest isn't in sex isn't as much as mine so to me it is a necessity! On my commute home from work, well, I've gotten pretty good at driving with one hand....This friend of mine (in her early 20's) had a had a party where they sold vibes. She said "it would make a great gag gift." Gag gift hell, I'm not afraid to get them and use them! It's a good thing they didn't offer a try before you buy..... :)It's a good stress releiver, it's free and it feels good!

I was five and thought I'd hurt myself. I was scared to do it again for a little while, but not too long!!!!

haha... yes I don't know how old I was but young enough that I didn't know what it was that I was doing. It just felt good. But I remember thinking it I probably shouldn't be doing it, although that didn't hold me back for long!
