Masturbation. First things first, let’s get one thing straight. We all do a little DIY.
​
Or according to a recent survey an overwhelming 91% of you do. What’s more, 36% of you do it regularly 2-5 times a week and 67% of you say you use a vibrator.
​
The vast majority - 82% - use your hand for masturbation, but 47% of you say you would love to see more sex toys on the market, although 32% of you say you would never watch porn, so you must have good imaginations.
​
Masturbation is also going some way to fix the deficit left by the orgasm gap, as the survey shows 67% of you orgasm every time you masturbate, whereas 24% of you say you ‘rarely’ reach climax with a partner.
​
Maybe putting yourself in control of your climax is the key to success… although clearly, a lot more work has to be done to ensure orgasms are not only a solo venture…
​
Some of you are masturbating because you are single - that’s 55% - who say the main reason they masturbate is not having regular sex.
Yet, what emerges from the survey is that masturbation is not merely a replacement for sex, but that it is, instead, another vital component of your overall sexual existence, with 41% of you saying you like it just as much as sex.
​
Here’s a few main reasons:
​
73% say it’s simple the ‘I’m horny’ moment
54% of you see it as a stress reliever.
79% of you told us you consider masturbation your primary form of sexual self-care
23% of you say masturbating helps with your mental health.
Clearly, a majority of you view masturbating - not a sordid sexual secret – so why do 53% of you feel uncomfortable discussing it?
The Glamour survey showed that there is still a pronounced lack of transparency when it comes to talking about masturbation, with 83% of you agreeing that there is still a stigma around female desire and 87% of you saying you wish society would embrace female sexual desire more.
​
So, whilst most of you still feel embarrassed talking about it, it seems most of you want this to change; and that it’s society’s reluctance to talk about female pleasure that is the issue.
​
After all the survey shows that masturbation is not a 'dirty' word but, for so many of you, a hugely important part of yourself self-care.
​
That’s where ‘The Bliss Point’ blog comes in… we’re all about women empowering their desires and taking control of their sexual needs.
