Okay. Boys masturbate, yes? Oh yes. Everybody knows it. It's on TV, it's in movies, it's in books, it's on computers (cough), it's in little jokes at the back of the room during school, and so on. Girls, on the other hand -- You might see it in Playboy magazine or crappy online porn, but the chances of hearing about it anywhere else are slim. So I'm just curious, I know it's a taboo and people even say "Girls don't masturbate!" but, well, I do, and I'm pretty sure I'm a girl, and some of my girl friends do it, too. Surely it's not just that we're unusually horny perv-y girls, right? So, all you girls out there, HELLO!! It comes down to this; Do you masturbate? If so, let me know ;) and, TELL THE WORLD. I want to start a movement. Girls "jack off", too! And there's nothing wrong with that. hee.

apparently they do it all the time. or so my emails tell me.
really the main average difference comes down to the frequency. but even that is just an average.

main difference in frequency, agreed, but difference in social perception is big and strange.

Okay, we don't ALL do it.
But MOST everyone knows that the MAJORITY of us do it.

if most everyone knows it, they're pretending not to... it's so stupid. boys talk about it in school even, but we're taught to be ashamed of doing it at all.

it's a strange and detrimental tie-in to the abstinence morality that counterpoints american culture's sex obsession... sex is everywhere, but we're also constantly told it's a dirty thing that shouldn't be done... and that masturbation is not only dirty because it's sex, but it's shameful because it's sex without someone else. 's weird.

"Statistics hint at one possible cause of boy craziness: sexuality researchers have found that many girls do not learn to masturbate to climax until they are 21 or 22. Maybe with no form of release the pressure or desire gives way to a kind of dementia. Girls become unhinged, unmoored. They have no idea how to calm themselves down."
