It is very easy to get a bit prurient, a bit smirky, about the question of female masturbation.
Johnson and Johnson reported that 70% of all women have masturbated.
Several years ago, I was dating a girl riddled with guilt over what she considered excessive masturbation. It took me a lot to convince her it was nothing remotely close to being something to feel guilty over.
Sure, like anything from exercising to coffee, it can be overdone (trust me, I’ve overdone it). But it is a healthy part of any person’s sexual awareness.
Taylor Monsen had this to say: “I’m a promoter of masturbation. Don’t sleep around – learn yourself first. Guys do, but girls don’t. And that’s why girls have so many bad experiences. But you can know your body, know yourself, know what feels good.You don’t have to give yourself away to have sexual relevance. Because I don’t think sex is something people should be afraid of. It’s part of human nature, so I don’t think it should be shameful – particularly for girls and young girls.”
I disagree, of course girls masturbate on a regular basis. Still., the 17 year old actress/singer words will help girls not feel guilty or embarrassed over it. 17 year old actress/singer. Well said.
