Masturbation: Is everybody doing it?

March 16, 2006 by NML

female friends lying down in a circle I’ve recently started to wonder if I am a bit abnormal as most women I know, regardless of whether they’re in or out of a relationship, are masturbating.

I have something to confess – It doesn’t occur to me to masturbate. Yes, the editor of Baggage Reclaim, who isn’t exactly shy about coming forward, doesn’t really indulge in getting herself off very often. It’s because I’m working on this site

I own a rabbit vibrator and in almost 15 months of ownership, I think it’s been used no more than 5 or 6 times. Is this vibrator any good? Yes it bloody is, but I just rarely feel inclined to whip it out. As for manual labour, again, maybe it’s because I’m so frickin tired by the time I go to bed, but getting myself off is more energy than I’m willing to expend. I think with me, in the general sense, sex is out of sight, out of mind, which means that if I’m in the zone of getting it, hip hip hooray, and if I’m not, I don’t really think about it.
Talking to the various women I know and from previous feedback from readers, I do know that a lot of women masturbate. Regularly! Some do it manually, others with porn, many with sex toys. Many of them are single, but many of them are attached.
